Weekly Deals and Updates from Stampin’ Up! – October 21, 2014

Posted on October 21, 2014 by Handcrafting with Heather

I fell of the face of the earth, but now I’m back! HOORAY!!

Okay, so first, I have to apologize for falling off the face of the earth. LOL. My computer broke and then I just couldn’t seem to get back into the swing of things. For some reason I have been having a hard time juggling it all lately. Anyway, I’m VERY GLAD to be back online and blogging again. Today, I just have the updates from Stampin’ Up!, but on Thursday, I will post three new projects as a part of the Happy Stampers Fall Blog Hop! I’ve created some really cute things for Halloween to share with you!

So, let this post be my re-entry into the world of stamping! Yay! I am going to try to get back to posting regularly, but I may only post three times per week instead of four. I’m just going to have to figure out the best way to balance everything that life has to offer. I appreciate your support and patience as I work it all out. Thank you so much for the supportive comments and messages I got from some of you during my absence. It meant a lot to me to know that my little blog is meaningful for the people who follow it. 🙂

MacBook RIP???

Posted on September 16, 2014 by Handcrafting with Heather

Unfortunately, my computer may have died today. I can’t get it to turn on, so I’m taking it to the Apple doctor tomorrow. I love the Genius Bar at the Apple Store. In any case, I won’t be posting any new projects until I have access to a working computer. Although I love my iPad, it isn’t the best tool for maintaining my blog. I’ll post a new project as soon as I’m able. Until then… Happy Stamping!

Tag Talk Pillow Box For you! – Stampin’ Up!

Posted on September 12, 2014 by Handcrafting with Heather

Today’s project is a super simple gift that features the Tag Talk stamp set and the Sweet Taffy DSP from Stampin’ Up! This project is not only cute, but it was also really easy to create!

I made the adorable pillow boxes for some of the teachers I work with. You may recall that I have a new job this year. I am the Instructional Technology Specialist at my school, which means that I work with all the teachers in the building in a coaching role to help them integrate technology into their classrooms. I decided that as a part of my new job, I am going to leave the teachers a little treat when I leave as a token of recognition for the work they are doing. Aren’t these just perfect!

The box itself was made from a 5″ x 6″ piece of Sweet Taffy DSP. I used the Pillow Box Punch Board (We R Memory Makers) to create the score lines. Once the box was complete, I quickly stamped the “for you” greeting from the Tag Talk stamp set and layered it on a Tangelo Twist Scalloped Circle. I glued a piece of Rich Razzleberry 1/4″ Cotton Ribbon around the box to break up the polka dot pattern, and VOILA!

I know that my co-workers will appreciate getting a few sweet little treats in these precious pillow boxes. What a nice surprise to brighten anyone’s day, right? If you think these boxes are as cute as I do, I hope you will pin them to Pinterest for me. You will find a “pin it” button at the bottom of this post below the supply list and card stock cuts. Also, please subscribe to my blog via email by clicking on the “follow” button if you enjoy reading my posts.

Christmas Bauble Holiday Card – Stampin’ Up!

Posted on September 10, 2014 by Handcrafting with Heather

I had a lot of fun creating today’s project for you. This beautiful holiday card features the Christmas Bauble and Ornamental Pine stamp sets from Stampin’ Up! These two stamp sets were both ones that jumped off the page for me and began singing my name as soon as I saw them in the Holiday Catalog.

I began this card with a Garden Green card base. Then I added a panel of Gold Glimmer Paper. Next, I stamped the pine branch image in Mossy Meadow ink on a panel of Typeset DSP. I added a few loops of Linen Thread for interest.

Next, I stamped the Christmas Bauble in Memento Black ink on some Very Vanilla card stock. I colored the ornament image with my Stampin’ Blendabilities markers. After cutting out the design, I added it to the front of the card using Stampin’ Dimensionals.

For my greeting, I stamped the “Christmas Wishes” sentiment in Garden Green ink on a strip of Very Vanilla card stock. I used the Mosaic Punch to punch the edges of the strip to give it a unique shape. Then I mounted that onto some Cherry Cobbler card stock for a frame effect.

I finished off the inside of the card with some pine needles and pine cones from the Ornamental Pine stamp set. Then I stamped the quote, “May the peace and beauty of the season remain with you throughout the year.” I just love that idea. I think it makes a beautiful card that anyone would enjoy getting in the mail to celebrate the season.

I hope you are a fan of this project and will pin it to Pinterest for me. You will find a “pin it” button at the bottom of this post below the supply list and card stock cuts. Also, please subscribe to my blog via email by clicking on the “follow” button if you enjoy reading my posts.

Beauty of the Season Cardinal Christmas Card – Stampin’ Up!

Posted on September 5, 2014 by Handcrafting with Heather

As soon as I saw the Beauty of the Season stamp set from Stampin’ Up! I knew I had to add it to my collection. The gorgeous cardinal reminds me of my Grandmother who was an avid bird watcher. Her favorite was the cardinal.

I started my card by tearing a sheet of scratch paper to use as a mask at the bottom of my art panel. Then I sponged the background with Soft Sky, Marina Mist, and Pacific Point to create a nice sky color.

Next, I stamped my cardinal image with Memento Black ink and colored him with my Stampin’ Blendabilities markers. I added the snow to the branches with a White Stampin’ Chalk Marker.

I mounted my art work onto a panel of Dazzling Diamonds Glimmer Paper to give a bit of sparkle. Then I mounted that panel onto a panel of red DSP using Stampin’ Dimensionals. Finally, everything was added to a Basic Black card base.

To finish the inside of the card, I stamped the branch image twice in alternating corners and colored them with my Blendabilities. Then I added the sentiment in the middle of the card.

I think this card turned out beautifully. I know my grandmother would have loved it. I think I’ll give it to my dad. I know it will make him think of her too. I hope you are a fan of this project and will pin it to Pinterest for me. You will find a “pin it” button at the bottom of this post below the supply list and card stock cuts. Also, please subscribe to my blog via email by clicking on the “follow” button if you enjoy reading my posts.

Gift Box Punch Board Video Tutorial – Stampin’ Up!

Posted on September 3, 2014 by Handcrafting with Heather

Last week, I shared this adorable box that I created using the Gift Box Punch Board and the Bright and Beautiful stamp set from Stampin’ Up! For this project, I altered the dimensions of the box, and I had several requests for a video tutorial to show how I did it.

Your wish is my command! By playing around with the Gift Box Punch Board, I discovered that the “start line” controls the size of the box’s base, and the size of the paper controls the height of the box. However, if you change those things around, the diagonal score lines no longer match up, so you have to custom create the diagonals. Check out my video to see how it is done.

I hope you will consider selecting me as your demonstrator for your stamping needs. I also offer free catalogs to all of my customers. If you are my customer or want to be my customer, please email me your name and mailing address. I’ll be more than happy to send you a copy of our catalogs.
