Stampin’ Up Fry Box & Elfin’ Fun!

Posted on by

6

Hi everyone! I know I haven’t posted anything in an age and a half, but I was inspired to share some of my family’s fun with our elf, Edwin. I arrived home from work today to find a care package at my front doorstep from my dear friend, Amy Koenders (you can check out her awesome blog here.)  What a wonderful surprise to find the Stampin’ Up! Fry Box Die and All About Sugar Stamp set along with some chocolates and a beautiful card!  I knew right away that I wanted to use it for my Elfin’ Fun!

IMG_0560

Isn’t that fry box just the cutest!  It was SO EASY to make too!  One run through the big shot, and two strips of adhesive, and voila!  I just love the polka dot design of the Merry Moments DSP from Stampin’ Up!

I also love the Elf on the Shelf tradition.  I have so much fun scouring the boards of Pinterest for inspiration.  There are a million cute ideas out there, and there is nothing better than seeing my son Carter’s face light up as he reacts to Edwin’s antics.  It is the first thing he does each morning.  He just can’t wait to see what Edwin has been up to during the night.  Here are some more of Edwin’s adventures from 2015.

I hope you have enjoyed my share today.  Happy Holidays to all… I hope to be back in the New Year with some more stamping projects.

Happy Stamping!

Happy Stampers Birthday Card Blog Hop – Stampin’ Up!

Posted on by

33

The Happy Stampers are back today with a Blog Hop that is all about Birthdays!  I have created three projects for you today featuring the Celebrate Today stamp set from Stampin’ Up! and the Hello You Thinlits Dies.

Celebrate Today Joy Fold (2 of 16)My projects today are made using the “Joy Fold” technique.  I have been having a great time with this fold lately.  It is a wonderful way to use your Designer Series Paper for a great impact with not too much effort.  The cards today feature the Birthday Bash Specialty DSP, which I am totally in love with!

Celebrate Today Joy Fold (8 of 16)

This picture shows you how the Joy Fold card opens up.  when it is closed, the card just looks like a series of layered panels, but when you open it up, you see that the fold is a bit special.

Celebrate Today Joy Fold (16 of 16)

Another product that I love is the Hello You Thinlits Dies.  For my first card I wanted to pull in a little gold to match the gold balloons in the DSP.  I cut the “happy” die  from the Hello You Thinlits five times (4 Bermuda Bay & 1 Gold Foil) and layered them for a three dimensional element.

Celebrate Today Joy Fold (10 of 16)

On the inside of the card, I created a little pocket for a gift card!  Isn’t that just too cute!  And, there’s still plenty of room for a little birthday message on the top flap of the card.

Celebrate Today Joy Fold (1 of 16)

My next two projects are variations on the same theme.  I used the Celebrate Today stamp set and Balloon Framelits Dies to create the front of each card.  Two of the balloons are stamped directly on the card stock using the masking technique, and the third is die cut from the Birthday Bash Designer Washi Sheets.  I played around with variations of the Hello You Thinlits and the Crazy About You  stamp set for the sentiments on each card.

Celebrate Today Joy Fold (4 of 16)

I used different variations of the Birthday Bash Specialty DSP for each card to give them slightly different looks.  For this card, I left the inside blank instead of including the gift card pocket.

Of course, a blog hop wouldn’t be complete without some blog candy!  One lucky reader who leaves me a comment will receive the Cute as a Button Simply Sent Kit. The kit comes with everything you need to make 8 cards!  The buttons and ribbon are just adorable.

Celebrate Today Birthday Gift Wrap – Stampin’ Up!

Posted on by

4

My cousin’s daughter recently celebrated her 4th birthday, and I just couldn’t resist making her gift something truly amazing with the Celebrate Today stamp set and matching Balloon Framelits Dies from Stampin’ Up! (Available as a bundle for a 15% discount.)

Celebrate Today Gift Wrapping (1 of 9)

Isn’t that just about the cutest thing you’ve ever seen?  You’d better believe it stood out on the gift table at the birthday party!  In fact, Naomi’s mom saved it and said she is going to put it in a shadow box with some pictures of her at age 4!

Celebrate Today Gift Wrapping (8 of 9)

I love all the details that the Celebrate Today stamp set has.  The stars and polka dots are just so cute.  Combine those with the matching die set, and this set is very versatile for a wide variety of celebrations.

Celebrate Today Gift Wrapping (4 of 9)

In order to personalize the gift, I stamped the number 4 and Naomi’s name on some of the balloons using  the Larger than Life Alphabet & Numbers stamp set from Stampin’ Up!

Celebrate Today Gift Wrapping (6 of 9)

I have to say, I am very impressed with myself on this one. LOL.  This gift is just so stinkin’ cute!  Although it did take some time to put together, I had a ball doing it… and really, it didn’t take as long as it looks like it did. 🙂  If you are a fan of this project, I hope you will pin it to Pinterest for me.  You will find a “pin it” button at the very bottom of this post following the supply list.

Hey, Valentine! A Sweet Tweet for You! – Stampin’ Up!

Posted on by

1

Valentine’s Day is fast approaching, and I’m so excited about the Hey, Valentine stamp set from Stampin’ Up!  This year will be my son’s first year in a school environment for Valentine’s Day, and I am thrilled with how cute the valentines for his class have turned out!

Hey, Valentine Candy Treats (2 of 3)

Aren’t those just adorable!  I used the “a sweet tweet for YOU” stamp from the Hey, Valentine stamp set and colored them with my Stampin’ Blendabilities Markers.  I love how they turned out!  And, did you know that with every $50 purchase, you can choose a set of Blendabilities for FREE during Sale-A-Bration!  There are 12 different color sets to choose from, and the sale goes until March 31, 2015.

Hey, Valentine Candy Treats (1 of 3)

After coloring in all my cute little birds, I cut them out using the coordinating die from the Mini Treat Bag Thinlits Dies.  Then I filled 1″ x 8″ cellophane bags with jelly beans and stapled the tag to the top.  I used some leftover bakers twine from my January Paper Pumpkin Kit to add a little bow on top of the staple (but you could use Blushing Bride or Cherry Cobbler Baker’s Twine as a substitute).

Hey, Valentine Candy Treats (3 of 3)

I punched out a 1″ circle in Pink Pirouette card stock and wrote “from Carter” on the back of each treat.  I just know he is going to love giving these out to his friends at school.  Every time he sees the treats stacked on the counter in my crafting studio he asks when he gets to give out his “beans.”

Hey, Valentine Candy Treats (2 of 3)

The moment I saw the Hey, Valentine stamp set in the catalog, I knew I was going to use it for Carter’s class treats.  I couldn’t be happier with how these turned out!  If you are a fan of this project, I hope you will pin it to Pinterest for me.  You will find a “pin it” button at the very bottom of this post following the supply list.

I hope you will consider selecting me as your demonstrator for your stamping needs.  If you need any supplies you can shop now in my online store!  Feel free to drop me an email if you have any questions or if you would like a catalog.  I’m here to help!

January 2015 My Paper Pumpkin – Stampin’ Up!

Posted on by

1

Today I want to share with you the January 2015 Paper Pumpkin kit.  This kit is so cute, and just in time for Valentine’s Day!

January 2015 Paper Pumpkin (3 of 7)

The kit came with the supplies to make 24 treat bags and tags! Everything you would need for an entire classroom of little children for Valentine’s Day!

January 2015 Paper Pumpkin (5 of 7)

This project came together very quickly and it was easy and fun to do.  I’m planning to let my son give these treats to his friends in the neighborhood, and I’m going to give the rest to the administrators and secretarial staff at my school as a little thank you gift for Valentine’s day.  Wouldn’t it be great to come to work and see one of these cute little treats on your desk?

January 2015 Paper Pumpkin (1 of 7) January 2015 Paper Pumpkin (2 of 7)

Although this particular project was pretty intuitive, Paper Pumpkin always comes complete with detailed instructions that show you exactly what to do.  That makes it the perfect gift for someone who is new to stamping!

January 2015 Paper Pumpkin (7 of 7)

For most of the treat bags, I followed the directions in the kit and used only the stamps and ink provided, but for this one, I couldn’t resist doing a personalized touch by using the Sophisticated Serifs alphabet stamp set from Stampin’ Up!  Isn’t that precious?  I love anything with my initials on it! LOL. 🙂

November My Paper Pumpkin – Stampin’ Up!

Posted on by

0

I’m a little behind schedule with sharing the November Paper Pumpkin kit… the December kit will be arriving soon!  I can’t wait to see what it holds, because this last one was just too cute!

Snowflake November Paper Pumpkin (1 of 4)

The kit came with the supplies to make 8 cards and 12 gift tags! They even included snowflake embellishments for the envelopes!

Snowflake November Paper Pumpkin (4 of 4)

I love all the details of this set.  The die cut snowflakes, the gatefold closure tied with silver bakers twine,  rhinestone and washi tape accents just to name a few.

Snowflake November Paper Pumpkin (2 of 4)

The silver foil used for the snowflakes and the hole reinforcement on the gift tags really sparkles and gives them a festive feel.  I think they will be lovely under the tree with silver ribbon on my packages.  The double layered tag also adds an element of interest.  You can see a bit of the silver washi tape peeking out from the bottom layer, and there is even a “to:    from:” stamp on the white layer underneath.

Snowflake November Paper Pumpkin (3 of 4)

This kit was fun to put together, and I was able to create 8 cards and 12 gift tags in one evening!  You’ve got to love a quick and easy project!  If you are a fan be sure to pin this project to Pinterest for me.  You will find a “pin it” button at the very bottom of the post after the weekly deals.

Santa & Co. and Nordic Noel Holiday Treat Boxes – Stampin’ Up!

Posted on by

3

You know you are an avid crafter when you decide to give baked goods as gifts just so that you have a reason to make cute gift boxes!  I spent an entire day baking last week for that very reason!  Boy, am I backwards!  Anyway, I just love how these cute boxes turned out.  I’ve still got more to make for all of my homemade sweet treats, so you can expect to see more of these from me soon. LOL. 🙂

DSP Gift Boxes (6 of 9)

These gift boxes are a great way to use up leftover holiday DSP too!  I was able to create each box using a 6″ x 6″ sheet of the primary DSP design and a 3-1/2″ x 1-1/2″ scrap of the accent DSP design.

DSP Gift Boxes (7 of 9)

I found the directions for this cute Santa punch art piece on Pinterest.  You can see the directions for how to make it on Alexandra Bleicher’s blog by clicking here.  Isn’t he just adorable, and the Nordic Noel DSP sets him off perfectly! (Note: She used two retired punches, the ornament punch and the blossom petals punch to create the hat, but I think you could substitute oval or circle punches and just trim them to be the right shape.)

DSP Gift Boxes (8 of 9)

I must admit that I wasn’t crazy about these two designs from the Santa & Co. DSP pack, but I love how they turned out on these boxes!  The tree designs blend seamlessly with the Tree Punch.  I also like that these are a little more masculine than some of my other designs (although I think they are also suitable for females).

DSP Gift Boxes (9 of 9)

I love how the Red Glimmer Paper mat makes this sentiment pop!  Sometimes you just need a little dazzle to brighten things up!

DSP Gift Boxes (6 of 9)

As I said earlier, these are the first of many treat boxes!  I am having so much fun making them… it was definitely worth all the hours in the kitchen!  If you are a fan of this project, please pin it to Pinterest for me.  You will find a “pin it” button at the bottom of this post below the supply list.

I hope you will consider selecting me as your demonstrator for your stamping needs.  If you need any supplies you can shop now in my online store!  Feel free to drop me an email if you have any questions or if you would like a catalog.  I’m here to help!

And the Winner is…

I did it again!  I forgot to do the blog candy drawing with my Tuesday post.  Luckily, I remembered on my own this time, without needing a reminder from my loyal readers!  So, without further ado, the random number generator picked comment #18, which is Suzanne!  Congratulations, you are the lucky recipient of the Banner Blast stamp set and Banner Punch!  Please send me your mailing address, and I will get that to you in the mail!

Banner Blog Candy (1 of 1)

Now, onto today’s project!  Have I mentioned recently how much I LOVE the Gift Card Envelope & Trims Thinlits Dies! Last week I had a birthday party to go to and I was able to whip up this super cute gift card envelope using the Flashback DSP and the Amazing Birthday stamp set from Stampin’ Up!

Amazing Birthday Gift Card Envelope (2 of 5)

 I just love how the washi tape adds a great design element to this gift card envelope!  As an added benefit, it also provides reinforcement for the folds so they will hold up better as the envelope is opened and closed!

Amazing Birthday Gift Card Envelope (4 of 5)

I made a little enclosure card to match the envelope to give the gift a finishing touch!

Endless Wishes Gift Package – Stampin’ Up!

Posted on by

2

For today’s project, I created a tag using the Endless Wishes photopolymer stamp set from Stampin’ Up! I attached the tag to a gorgeous gold box that I created using one of my favorite new tools, The Gift Box Punch Board!  I have been having so much fun playing with that thing!

Endless Wishes Tag (2 of 2)

This box was created using some sparkly gold card stock that I had on hand, but it would be even prettier made with Gold Glimmer Paper from Stampin’ Up!  This box follows the directions for a 4″ x 4″ x 4″ cube that are printed right on the front of the Gift Box Punch Board.

Endless Wishes Tag (1 of 2)

For the tag, I stamped the images from the Endless Wishes photopolymer stamp set on a Cherry Cobbler tag.  I used Versamark ink and then heat embossed it with Gold Stampin’ Emboss Powder.  Notice how I was able to curve the words “celebrate the” around the word “season.”  This is one of the great things that is possible with photopolymer stamps!

Endless Wishes Tag (2 of 2)

I finished everything off by adding a layer of gold foil behind my tag, popped on a little star, and tied the whole package up with a gorgeous Cherry Cobbler Sheer Linen Ribbon bow.

I love that I will be able to put this package under the tree without any additional wrapping, and the recipient will treasure the packaging as much as the contents!  I don’t know about you, but at my house we have a “box stash” that gets recycled from year to year.  I imagine this beauty will get added to the collection.  If you like this project, I hope you will pin it to Pinterest for me. You will find a “pin it” button at the end of this post below the supply list.

Also, Please consider selecting me as your demonstrator for your stamping needs.  I would love the opportunity to earn your business.  If you need any supplies you can shop now in my online store!  Feel free to drop me an email if you have any questions or if you would like a catalog.  I’m here to help!

Happy Stamping!

Elegant Black and White Mixed Bunch Boxed Card Set – Stampin’ Up!

Posted on by

4

Today’s project is another boxed set of cards featuring the Mixed Bunch stamp set from Stampin’ Up!  (As you can tell, I’m on a mission to get all of my son’s teacher gifts knocked out!) I was inspired to create these cards by a video I saw created by Brandy Cox (www.brandyscards.com).  I changed the stamp sets and punches to suit what I had in my collection, but the basic design is the same.  I love the simple elegance of the black and white color scheme.

Mixed Bunch B&W (1 of 5)

This card is an easy one to do “assembly line” style to create multiple cards with the same design, which makes it ideal for creating a boxed set.  The base of the card is a black panel with a smaller white card glued on top.  This allows for the look of a colored card base, but allows you to cut down on supplies.  The Whisper White card stock is very economical for making a large number of cards, which is a nice benefit of this design.

Mixed Bunch B&W (5 of 5)

I created a belly band for my box and stamped the envelopes so that they would coordinate beautifully with the cards.  For directions on creating the box, click here.

Mixed Bunch B&W (2 of 5)

I used the 2-1/2″ circle punch to create a hole in the front of the card, and then glued this beautiful black and white flower to the inside of the card.  The flower features the following elements:

  • Blossom Punch – Basic Black card stock
  • 1-3/4″ Scallop Circle Punch – Whisper White stamped with flower from Mixed Bunch (these don’t line up, but I just wanted the design from the flower stamp, so it didn’t matter).
  • Pansy Punch – Basic Black card stock
  • 7/8″ Scallop Circle Punch – Whisper White stamped with medalion from A Round Array stamp set.
  • Large Basic Pearl (or rhinestone)

Mixed Bunch B&W (3 of 5)

Another neat element of this card is the “ribbon” along the left edge.  I created this by stamping scrap strips of whisper white card stock using the flower from Mixed Bunch.  I think it adds an element of elegance and is a great way to use up all those little scraps you have lying around.

I think this set is just beautiful.  I’m a sucker for a black and white color scheme, and I like how these cards can be used for a variety of occasions.  If you like this project, I hope you will pin it to Pinterest for me. You will find a “pin it” button at the end of this post below the supply list.
