Tired of templates? These adorable 3-D cuties are created in a snap using Bigz and Bigz XL Dies with my Big Shot Die-Cut Machine. I get a perfectly cut and scored rectangular box, basket and pillow box. Just adhere and decorate. That qualifies each of them for my Stamping 911 category, defined as projects that can be replicated in 10 minutes or less. Click here for more of my Stamping 911 samples.
Each sample was created using Sweet Slumber Specialty Designer
Series Paper. The four "specialty" papers offered on p. 158 of
Stampin' Up!'s Spring/Summer Idea Book and Catalog are cover-weight card stock. TIP:
The heavier construction makes these papers even sturdier for boxes and
3-D objects. Cool.
Zip out this box using Stampin' Up!'s Box #2 Bigz XL Die. Assembled, it's 3.5" W x 2" H x 1 1/4" D, the perfect size to house small gifts, candies or party favors. The cut and scored box (before assembly) is featured on the left.

Stampin' Up!'s Baskets and Blooms Bigz XL die is responsible for this lovely shape (assembled 3.5" H x 4.5" W). TIP: I used a small rubber band to tighten the cello bag before tying the Whisper White Taffeta Ribbon. It think it's easier and crisper.

Oops . . . An update to my 
Mary – these are all soooo cute!!! I think I want a Big Shot for Mother’s Day – wahooo!!! I really love the new box die!!!
I so debated on that Sweet Slumber paper and in the end left it off my order (qualified for waaayyyy too many SAB gifts!). What a mistake now that I see your beautiful things Mary. Glad there’s no limit to how many SAB orders one person can place!
They’re so cute, Mary, and I love the colors!
OHH love it.. ok I love everything you do! lol.. ANOTHER of my things that is coming in my order next week! AHHHHHHHH (the paper that is.. I’m yet to get my dies next on my list!)
T.G.I.F to you!

All cute ideas!
My SU order from you will be arriving today. Feels like Christmas! I can’t wait to open that box!
Fun! Fun! Fun! Such great little fun favors all wrapped up in such cheery dp!
Now you have done it. You totally changed the whole look of that scalloped envie. I love it. You amaze me. Please don’t ever go back to real estate, too many people will miss you.
Those are all FABULOUS projects!! And I love the colors in that DSP! 🙂
“You’re So Sweet” is my favorite, but they are all just darling!
Thanks for showing these, Mary. It’s hard to envision them just looking at the dies. Yours are fab! I love that paper…
