Happy New Year’s Eve! Since it is Thursday, it’s time to play @ PPA! This week, the Pals Paper Arts Design Team is sponsoring an “Anything But a Card” challenge. Since this is the most difficult of the challenges for me, I browsed Splitcoast looking for ideas. In my searching, I discovered the “5-in-1 Template Box”. It is large enough to fill with candy and even cookies, making it a wonderful choice for Valentine’s Day! However, I did not have a “5-in-1 Template”. But where there’s a will, there’s a way! I present to you, the “5-in-1 Template Box made without the 5-in-1 Template!” I simply tweaked Beate’s tutorial Located Here. If I can do it, you can do it! And isn’t it fantastic with the Sending Love Designer Series Paper available in the new Occasions Mini? It’s so quick and easy to make, that I know I will be making several more throughout the year!
The Stampin’ Schach Tips:
- Making reference to Beate’s tutorial, I began with a 4″ x 4″ square. I then set a compass to 2″ and added half-circles on all four edges of my square. (I re-cycled a piece of cardboard from a package of designer series paper to create this template!) I traced the template onto a piece of Sending Love Designer Series Paper and snipped it out.
- Pink Pizzaz! The scalloped corners were made using the Big Shot and the Scallop Circle die. A little “Pretty in Pink” ink accents the scallops, which have been pierced with a Paper Piercer. The rest of the tutorial is just as Beate wrote it. How easy is that!
- Flower Power! Make flowers in minutes with the Big Shot and Bigz XL Flower Fold die. Alternating pink and red patterns from Sending Love DSP coordinate perfectly to form the petals of the over-sized blossom which adorns the top of the box. The Boho Blossoms and 1-1/4″ Circle Punches were used to create the center of the bloom.
- Glitz and Glam! A few snippets of 5/8″ Whisper White Satin Ribbon completes the package. Although it does not show up in the picture, many of the patterns in the Sending Love collection are pre-glittered, and so pretty! Extra glitz is not required!

This box is so gorgeous! I bought the template and now need to figure out how to make the box. Hope I can figure it out. Your work looks like you are a perfectionist. Yikes. Thanks for sharing your work with us. Tricia

Really beautifull, just found this project and love it.
Even looking all through the blog, the Dove card is still my favorite 🙂 I also loved the Snowman card-too bad the Christmas season is over! I’m glad I got to visit and hope I get to see more!!
This is really beautiful! As usual there is so much attention to detail. Awesome job!
OOOH! This is so PRETTY! LOVE it!
What a GREAT box! I LOVE it and will definitely be CASING it!! That new glitzy paper is the best, right!?!
Thanks for the brilliant solution for those of us who do not have the 5 in 1 template! You teach math, right?
Happy New Year!!

So very beautiful! The colors, de combination, the idea, all marvelous. Happy New Year!
This is so cute, Ann! Love the idea and love the colors! The die-cut flower really makes it special, too! Great job with the challenge!

Wow! What a way to bring in the new year and the upcoming Valentine’s Day. I love it!
Ann this is just amazing! I love pink and red together and all the girly little details. Soooooo cute!!!
This is gorgeous – that top flower is super!
This is so beautiful. You have such an I and mind for color and design! I struggle with “anything but a card” challenges, but will see what I can come up with because…all you PPA gals inspire me to stretch my creativity brain cells! Happy New Year and looking forward to even more creativity! Blessings of Joy!
SOOOO Cute! You did a great job. Love that DP.
Okay Ann, you’ve demonstrated to me that I need this die! Lovely colors, great project. I’ll have to dig deeper into my purse!
Unfortunately just looking at a compass brings back old high school BASIC Algebra anxieties! Maybe my husband can do that part! What a CUTE box, and I now have all the “tools” to complet it myself! You are the queen of 3-D!
This is ADORABLE! Thanks for sharing!
This is such a beautiful gift, it wouldn’t have to be filled! Ann, the corner embellishments in white are spectacular [crown molding].
This box is gorgeous!! I just love the flower blossom on the top! A wonderful package for Mothers Day as well! I will have to give this a try! Happy New Year Ann!!
This is lovely, Ann!! The flower on the top is fantastic and I love the pink scallop corners. I think I must try to make one of these boxes!! Thanks for the inspiration! I also appreciate the hint about using the compass, which I have in my tool drawer. I suppose if someone had a circle cutter or other types of multi-sized dies they could use those items if they don’t have a compass.
Anyway, here’s to a Happy New Year!
Wowza!!
I am loving the reds on this box.
What a beautiful box!!! The prettiest one I’ve ever seen. I love that flower on top. Hugs,
Sooo pretty! What a fabulous way to show off that wonderful new DSP…love it! Have a wonderful New Year’s! {SMILES}
A compass? That’s not in my catalog. Brilliant! This is simply stunning using the layers of flowers and charming box. Love it! Hugs, M
What a beautiful little box, Ann. I am going to have to try one of these ~ you make it sound so easy! Thanks for sharing. It was the perfect thing to get me out of this “Christmas” theme I seem to be stuck in! Happy New Year!

This is GORGEOUS! Easy? I’m not so sure about that! LOL
Ann I love this box and would love to add it to my tutorials..is there anyway you can do a visual for those that are instruction impaired??? TFS
Oh, Ann, how stunning! I love this box and although you say it’s easy to create, I don’t think I could do so. But I love looking at it! And I know Brady will love receiving gifts at school in these boxes!! Terrific job!
Ann, you have to stop it! Every time I see one of your creations, I decide I need to buy something you’ve used. My hubby would say that you are helping to put us in the poorhouse (ha! ha!) Seriously, this is stunning, and so signature Ann. XO
