January 2015 My Paper Pumpkin – Stampin’ Up!

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. 🙂

Watercolor Winter Simply Created Card Kit – Stampin’ Up!

My friend and fellow stamper, Amy Koenders and I recently had a “Stampin’ Playdate” to assemble the Watercolor Winter Simply Created Card Kit.  The cards in this kit are just adorable!

Watercolor Wonder Simply Created (6 of 7)

Although, I love the end result of this kit, it isn’t a quick one to put together.  Amy and I worked together for a little over 3 hours to put it together.  It was a really fun evening, and a great way to spend time with friends!  I would definitely recommend it as a social evening for you and some crafting friends!

Watercolor Wonder Simply Created (3 of 7)

As the name suggests, the kit is intended to be watercolored, but Amy and I decided to save some time by using a brayer and sponge daubers instead.  We used a brayer on the trees and the sleds, rather than watercoloring them and waiting for the ink to dry. 🙂

Watercolor Wonder Simply Created (5 of 7)

This kit comes with materials to create some of the cards in four languages (English, German, Spanish, and French).  Since my sister lives in Germany, I decided to make one of the cards in German.  She’s going to love that!

Watercolor Wonder Simply Created (1 of 7)

For the stripes on this card, we used a mask and sponge dauber to save a little time.  We also sponged the letters.  Sponging before you punch out the letters saves a lot of time.

Watercolor Wonder Simply Created (2 of 7)

Amy and I used the same sponging technique on the word “Merry” in this card.

Watercolor Wonder Simply Created (7 of 7)

The card kit comes with the card bases and embellishments needed to make 20 cards, 5 of each of the four designs (stamps, ink, and adhesive not included).  However, we did decide to add a few extra embellishments for some extra wow!  We used rhinestones colored with the Cherry Cobbler Stampin’ Blendabilities and the Frosted Sequins for a little bling. 🙂

Watercolor Wonder Simply Created (6 of 7)

All in all, this kit provided Amy and I with some great “girlfriend time” and we each walked away with 10 finished Christmas cards!  I’d say that is a deal you can’t beat.  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!

November My Paper Pumpkin – Stampin’ Up!

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!

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!

Amazing Birthday & Flashback DSP Gift Card Envelope – Stampin’ Up!

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!

Amazing Birthday Gift Card Envelope (3 of 5)

This gift card holder is so cute and it was very quick to make! I’m sure that you can see the possibilities are endless for creating wonderful gifts with the Gift Card Envelope & Trims Thinlits Dies.  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.
