Happy Thanksgiving

As we spend today with family and friends enjoying the goodies of the holiday and all it entails – I just wanted to take a few minutes and tell you how thankful I am to you, my stamping friends. I appreciate each of you and the blessings that you’ve brought into my life.

When I started this journey, almost 6 years ago I never would have believed I would blessed with so many new friends who share a my passion for paper crafting.

I’m going to quickly going to share a couple of projects with you that I thought would bring a smile to your face today. So whether you are sipping your coffee, getting ready for your feast or kicking your feet up after a long day, resting with a full tummy – enjoy.

For All Things Nugget Box

This first project is a nugget box that I made to hold my blessing mix that I make each year. You can see how I made the nugget box HERE.

And this second is the cutest little turkey that Tamara gave to me at one of our Blue Mountain Stampers’ team meetings.

Gift Bow Turkey

It’s made using our Gift Bow Die – cute right?  Told you LOL. How many bows did she use? Isn’t it great you can cut so many layers with this die at one time? Perfect for this little guy.

That’s it for the day I hope you’ll have a wonderful, safe and blessed Thanksgiving Day!

Sassy Birthday Bow Tie

Here is a fun birthday card that I made for my friend that uses our Birthday Basics Designer Series Paper and the Gift Bow Bigz Die. This card was fun and quick to make since it uses our Gift Bow Bigz Die (129977).

Sassy Birthday Bow Tie

I love the quirky font  used for our Sassy Salutations stamp set (132070/126707) and thought this was a perfect set for this card.  I call this a “bow tie” bow and since my friend’s birthday is New Years Day I thought it would be a great card for her, but I also think it is a great guys card too with a couple of color changes. What do you think?

This card not only uses the Gift Bow Die from the Holiday Catalog, it also uses the Stylish Stripes Embossing Folder too. Did you know that these two great items in the Holiday Catalog are only available for a few more days? Yikes – so if you haven’t gotten your favorites, you’ll want to get them now.

This sweet angel was so easy to make and I really love the way our Winter Frost Specialty Paper and Silver Foil Sheets add that special touch to make it shine.

Winter Frost Fancy Gift Box Bow

I’ve fallen in love with our Gift Bow Bigz L Die recently and find myself reaching for it constantly. I’m really looking forward to making my own gift bows this holiday season and in the new year too, and since this die makes it so easy to create gift bows I hope to be able to share more projects with you in the next few weeks.

Fancy Gift Box Bow

This is one of our Kraft Gift Boxes (found in our 2013 Annual Catalog on page 160). They are a great size for holiday a little something – I’m thinking I maybe filling this one with some homemade rum balls.

I’ve covered the 4 sides of the Kraft Gift Box with panels of Island Indigo Textured Card Stock that I cut 3 1/4″ x 2 1/4″ and layered with a  3″ x 2″ piece of the Winter Frost Specialty Designer Series Paper. I added these panels to the box using Sticky Strip (104294) for a really strong hold. For the top of the Kraft Gift Box I layered a 3 1/4″ x 3 1/4″ piece of Island Indigo with a 3″ x 3″ piece of the Winter Frost.

This bows a lot of fun to make and I thought it would be easier to show you how I put it together so here is my Fancy Gift Box Bow Video Tutorial to show you how.

Quick and Easy right?  Isn’t it great that this Gift Bow Bigz L Die is part of the Weekly Deals? Want one too, you won’t want to delay since our Weekly Deals only last today until 11:50 p.m. (MT). Order one through me and I’ll send you a FREE Gift Bow Die Chart,  It’s a handy reference PDF for making all kinds of bows with this die.

And don’t you love the Frosted Finished Embellishments (132150) I added to the center – I hope the video showed you just how much of a wow factor they have for any of your projects.

New Gift Bow Die Video

I love to pamper my down line and since we have our meeting tonight, I wanted to make something special for those who are celebrating their anniversary as part of my team. So I made these quick little bags using the Gift Bow Die that hold a little surprise for them.

Gift Bow Die Basic Bow

These little goodies were created using our 2013-2015 In Colors and were easy to make since I used our little Tag a Bag Gift Bags to start. I then added my bow that I created with my Gift Bow Bigz L Die (from the Holiday Catalog page 37), and finally finished them off with a tag that I made using our Chalk Talk stamp set and coordinating Framelits. Cute right?

I have made this Getting Started with the Gift Bow Die Video Tutorial to show you how to make both the basic bow that I used for this project along with the double bow too.

Did you know that our Gift Bow Die (129977) is part of this week’s Weekly Deals? You can now get it for a fantastic price for a limited time – So why not get yours today?

Here is a picture of all my little bags ready for my Team to choose from.
