Bee My Valentine Skinny Milk Box

Today’s I’m going to share a fun treat item that I made for my team OnStage@Home event using the Bee Mine Suite Collection (162560) from our January Mini Catalog that is going LIVE on January 4th. This Suite is filled with fun items for creating Valentine treats and more!

Since it’s winter it’s always dry here in North Georgia so I thought some lip balm would be a great little treat to place inside. Dry skin is a constant issue during the winter. I was lucky to find a fun advent calendar of them at Sam’s Club so everyone got a fun “flavor” to choose from. Here are some photos from that event. First here is a shot of our table ready to create the projects they shared with us for Make n Takes. I’ll share projects those with you soon.

And here is our group that was able to join me for the streaming event – even the youngest crafted with us. So adorable!

Want to see how I made this Skinny Milk Box so you can make them too? Here is a quick tutorial for you along with the PDF which has a complete supply list and measurements for you so you can plan for your treats and order the supplies when the catalog goes LIVE.

Inked & Tiled

The Inked & Tiled Stamp Set (161158) is part of the Inked Botanical Suite Collection (161172) that is one of my favorites from the Annual Catalog. Not only does this Suite have a punch but it’s got wonderful 6×6 Designer Series Paper and Ribbon too!

The Inked Botanicals Designer Series Paper (161157) uses some of my favorite colors including the returning Lost Lagoon making it so easy to work with.

So want to see come cards made with this suite? The sentiments in this set are great for this time of year since I’m always needing Thank You cards after the holiday season. This first card uses that thank you sentiment.

Stamped in Lost Lagoon onto Petal Pink and punched out with the Inked & Tiled Punch Pack (161168) which has two fun shapes to choose from. A bit of color has been added to the sentiment with our Ombre Matte Decorative Dots (161448). The flowers were colored with our Stampin’ Write Markers which allows you to add multiple colors to one image. A fun technique for sure! This next card also uses this simple technique.

And uses the sentiment on a strip of Very Vanilla Card stock that has been punched out using the the other punch.

And then the sentiment has been layered onto the Designer Series Paper that was also punched out for a totally different look. And finally a tiled card using the same coloring technique, but this time using Granny Apple Green for a brighter look.

This friendship card uses Iridescent Rhinestone Basic Jewels (158130) to add a bit of shimmer to the card.

And if you love 3d projects here is a cute little bag using the Inked Botanicals Designer Series Paper (161157).

It uses the Petal Park Builder Punch (160576), those fun little Ombre Matte Decorative Dots (161448), and a bit ribbon for the handles. Adorable!

Fun Craft & Cookie Night in Lula – why not save your spot?

Wildlife Wonder

The Wildlife Wonder stamp set (157923) is one of those sets that draws your eye and is wonderful for creating cards for those men in our lives.

It’s filled will some wonderful all occasion sentiments in addition to some lovely sketched images that have shading built right into them making them great for simple stamping. Check out today’s card highlighting the set.

It really is a wow card, even though it uses simple stamping. I just love the use of the Stargazing Designer Series Paper (161175) and 2022-2024 In color Textured Specialty Paper (161747) which give it a special feel with it’s imagery and shimmer. And for a bit of texture the torn edge technique was used on the the Metal Plate 3D Embossing Folder (160766) layer, along with the Stylish Shapes Dies (159183), and Neutrals Adhesive Backed Sequins (161627) were used.

Makes me think of a clear, cold winter night up here in the mountains when the stars are so bright, how about you?

Bird’s Eye View & More

Love books? Then you might just enjoy creating with the Bird’s Eye View stamp set (161436) found in our Annual Catalog.

This set is filled with fun little images that immediately got me thinking about my years helping in our children’s elementary school library. A book lover myself the kids were always happy to have me asking questions about the latest series they were reading. Normally that meant a Harry Potter book, that was almost as big as them!

Today’s card is done in Fresh Freesia and uses the bold patterns of the Masterfully Made Designer Series Paper (161192) as a back drop. Speaking of those days, I thought I’d share this next card with you that uses the Coffee with Friends stamp set (161389). Coffee after working together was always a fun way of ending the day at our local coffee shop on the Lawrenceville square. While the shop is long gone the friendships have lasted.

My entry level coffee of choice was a latte back then. LOL and sent me down a path of regular coffee drinking and being on the look out for the next coffee shop to try out. Ah the lazy afternoons enjoying a cup with friends.

This card is done in our Lemon Lolly and Azure Afternoon, a lovely soft combo. It uses our Stampin’ Blends to add color to the focal point and a bit of texture has been added to the background with simple stamping and our Timeworn Type 3D Embossing Folder (156505).

I always enjoy sending a card like this to my old friends when it’s been too long since we’ve gotten together, the sentiments are perfect. (And I must admit I’ve got a thing for coffee themed sets.) How about you? Do you have someone you like to catch up with over a cup of coffee?

Masterfully Made Hello Card Tutorial

Today’s card uses the bright & bold Designer Series Paper Masterfully Made.

I think Masterfully Made Designer Series Paper (161192) is pretty cool with it’s faux layers created with different papers and it’s got tone of texture on it’s own so it’s great for a project like this.

I’ve teamed this up with the Layering Leaves stamp set (161277) to create a cheerful hello card for a friend. Don’t you love the all occasions sentiments in this set? The font is just lovely too.

Here is Georgia we get a lot of rainy or cloudy days in the winter and I wanted to send something cheerful. Want to see the card?

Done in Pretty Peacock and Berry Burst – it’s sure to make my friend smile. What do you think? Bright and cheerful?

I’ve also got a quick little video for you so you can make some too.
