Leadership was such a great time of sharing - we had so many demonstrations from different ones including Shelli Gardner, Donna Griffith and many more. So many ideas, my head is popping with them!!
One of the ideas were these darling little Scallop Square Boxes with Mini Note Cards and Envelopes. I made them up last night and they will be my club hostess gifts! Of course, these can be made with any theme, but I wanted to use one of the sets from the Sale-A-Bration catalog (FREE with a $50 order). These would make great note cards for a gift or just any occasion.
I made up a little tutorial to help you put this together - it goes really fast and I think they turned out rather cute!!
Supplies:
Stamp Set: Sprinkled Expressions (WM 125130, CM 125132, page 8 SAB Catalog)
Card Stock: Melon Mambo, Calypso Coral, Daffodil Delight, Whisper White, Flirtatious Specialty Designer Paper (122360, page 183)

Scallop Square Box
Cut one Scallop Square in Melon Mambo
Score between 2 and 3 scallops on two opposite sides
Score between 3 and 4 scallops on the other sides
Clip up to the score lines on the “2 scallop sides”
Burnish all score lines. Fold up to form the box and adhere ends with Sticky Tape
Tie Ribbon around box and decorate.
Mini Note Cards

Cut matching card stock 2 ¼” x 4 ½”. Score at 2 ¼” and fold – adhere Whisper White stamped piece on front.
Cut either card stock or designer series paper 3 ¾” square.
Mini Note Card Envelopes
Cut either card stock or designer series paper 3 ¾” square. Mark each side at 1 ¾” and 2”. Score from the 1 ¾” mark to the next side at the 2” mark on all 4 sides. I added pencil lines, so you can see how to score
Mark each side at 1 ¾” and 2”. Score from the 1 ¾” mark to the next side at the 2” mark on all 4 sides. I added pencil lines, so you can see how to score (and just for your information, these will be a SNAP to make in a little over a month. Stampin' Up announced the brand new Diagonal Score Board which will fit over the current scoring board - it has diagonal lines that match up with the 1/8" ruler at the top - we were shown how to make envelopes with this new board and they are a snap - I'll be showing how to do these as soon as I'm able to order the Diagonal Score board - demonstrator pre-order is February 20th and customer order will begin March 1st)
After scoring, clip out the little triangles between the scored lines
Fold up opposite sides and adhere together
Fold up bottom and adhere
Fold down flap and envelope is done!!
Cute Cute!!
