Perennial Lavender Mask Wraps

Posted on by

It’s winter and that always means the skin needs a bit of pampering, so when I ran across these foot masks at my local store I knew I wanted to create a fun wrap to create gifts for my team. After all who doesn’t like a little pampering any time of year?

The wrap allows you to slide the mask out easily

I’ve created this wrap up using the Painted Lavender stamp set (162594) but since I wanted to use the lovely Sale-a-bration FREE Pool Party 5/8″ Crinkle Ribbon (Sale-a-bration 162980)

I changed up the color pallet. You can see just how lovely it is and a great width for a bold pop of color. So I started with the Pool Party base and went from there. The images from the Painted Lavender Stamp set (162594)

were stamped using a quick and easy technique called the stamp off method, this technique will give you a different shades each time you stamp off making it a great way to create depth and give more flexibility when using your Classic Ink Pad.

I finally added some Purple Fine Shimmer Gems (162611) to add a bit of shimmer and texture to the project. These gems come in different colors and are quite pretty, you’ll want to be sure to check them out in my Online store.

Want to see how I made this wrap for my gift? Check out my video tutorial and printable PDF.

You can find all kinds of masks like I did at the Dollar Tree. We got our first ones as a hotel pillow gift on a trim and as my daughter and I found we enjoyed trying them out and enjoyed the bit of pampering it gave us.

Bee My Valentine Card Tutorial

Posted on by

Yesterday was a crazy kind of day and so I didn’t get to share with you my weekly tutorial, but with the rain coming in again this afternoon it is a great time to spend a little time crafting! So here you go.

Today’s card uses the Bee Mine Suite and is quick and easy to create since it uses punches. The adorable Bee Builder Punch (162553) makes creating this fun little bee quick and easy and the 2″ Circle Punch (Online Exclusive 133782) will make your stamping so easy too. I love sentiments that are punched out like this since they make everyone successful. I know as a beginner stampers I loved punches since if I needed to stamp again I didn’t have to start all over again and could just do the one image or sentiment.

Here is a video tutorial for you

And of course a PDF that you can print that even contains the YouTube Link for easy reference!

Fun Bee My Valentine Candy Bar Slider Tutorial

Posted on by

I’ve got another fun tutorial for you today using the Bee Mine Suite Collection (162560). This time it is a treat, containing something sweet! I’ve got my Team Winter Retreat this weekend and wanted to make something special to put on their tables today for those spending the weekend. So here is what I came up with.

I cased this layout from the Mini Catalog – I love how the samples can inspire us, don’t you? I simply changed it up slightly to suit my needs and voila! A fun little candy bar slider. When I found this candy bar at my local Aldi during the holidays I knew it would be perfect as a little treat using the Bee My Valentine Bundle (162554) so in the cart it went.

And of course I wanted to have a little signature panel for the back of the slider so a little message could be written too. Fun!

Gifts like this is one of the reason I started stamping. I love to make fun items to gift to family and friends and this makes it easy to do and cost effective too! Something that was helpful when my children were young and I need to make a class set.

Want to see how I made this Candy Bar Slider? I’ve got a video tutorial for you today along with the PDF which will have a complete supply list, YouTube Link so you can print it off and go back to it easily, along with step by step instructions too.

Garden Walk Thank You Card Tutorial

Posted on by

I use a ton of thank you cards during the holidays as I like to send a card to family and friends to show my appreciation. After all they showed me I was special enough to take the time and I want to show them how special their thoughtfulness was to me. How about you? Do you send thank you cards during the gift giving season? Or want to create a lovely gift for someone? If you do you’ll enjoy today’s project as it is a quick and easy card to make a bunch of quickly.

I’ve used the Good Feelings Stamp set (158737) for this project as it is a sentiment set that has these great bold sentiments perfect as a focal point on a card like this.

And of course the Garden Walk Designer Series Paper (retiring 162227) is a lovely pack of 6×6 papers that have all kinds of floral images making it a great choice for this versatile layout.

Not only does it had bolder color choices for the holidays, it also has a softer color pallet too so you can use it year round simply by changing the card base and mat colors. And of course the Blooming Pearls (162238) since they come in an assortment of colors work with all of them!

Sweet Songbird Note of Thanks Tutorial

Posted on by

Today’s card uses the Sweet Songbirds stamp set (158721) and while it is a quick and easy fun fold it uses some bold color to really make it pop.

Done in Blueberry Bushel and Tahitian Tide it’s bright and cheerful. And while this stamp set has a coordinating Songbird Builder Punch (158726) giving it even more versatility this card is done with simple stamping. My daughter is a music teacher so I’m always creating thank you cards for her and figured this one will work well for her thank you cards that she’ll need for band camp this month. Want to see how I made it? Here is a quick Video and PDF Tutorial for you.

Bags are 4 3/4″ x 7″ so they’ll hold quite a bit too. This batch I whipped up for a little Team gift for our Meeting, I filled them with a sweet little treat for my along with a little something I picked up on the Maui Incentive Trip in May.

They were a hit for sure.

Want to see how I made them? I’ve got a quick little video tutorial and PDF for you.
