Want a quick and easy treat for Valentine’s Day? How about this chocolate filled treat made with the two of our Sale-a-bration items? Just one pack of the Bubbles & Fizz Designer Series Paper will make quite a few of these goodies. So why not grab a bag of Nuggets and get started?
Here are the instructions – the supply list is below for you.
Cut 5 strips of Designer Series Paper 1″ x 3″ (make sure the pattern is going the direction you want. For mine I lined the hearts up along the top edge and cut 1″ strips that then I cut into 4 3 inch sections.)
Using your Glue Dots add one to each end of the Designer Series Paper and place one against the Nugget and wrap the Designer Series Paper all the way around. The second Glue Dot will seal the other end down.
Slide the nuggets into cello bag.
Cut a piece of Blushing Bride Card stock 2 1/4″ x 4 1/2″; score at 2 1/4″
Stamp your sentiment in Basic Black Archival Ink along the bottom of card stock.
Fold the sentiment piece in half and slip over the top of the cello bag and staple. (Your scallop circle will hide the staple on the front.)
Run a piece of Calypso Coral card stock through the Big Shot using the scallop circle Framelits die.
Attach the scallop circle to the nugget topper, leaving it hang a bit above the top.
Stamp your panda image onto Whisper White card stock using Basic Black Archival Ink.
Color in heart using your Powder Pink Stampin’ Write Marker.
Cut panda out using the circle Framelits die.
Adhere the panda image to the scallop circle card stock using Stampin’ Dimensionals.
That’s it! Quick and easy – now you just need to share your treat!
Do you love to make a little something for family and friends for Valentine’s Day? I found these cute little boxes of chocolate recently and couldn’t resist making something with them.
This little project is so quick and easy and since the Lift Me Up stamp set has a lot of sentiments to choose from you could make this project for all kinds of Occasions!
The lid lifts up so that you can write a little something under the lid and the box of chocolate slides out for easy access. My hubby is going to love that. LOL!
Want to learn how to make one for yourself? Here is a quick and easy video tutorial for you.

Love boxes? Here is a quick and easy one you can make to hold small items. I made this box recently to hold a gift that my Team received – a scissors charm.
The Sweet Soiree Specialty Designer Series Paper is breath taking with the silver foil and one of my first purchases when I was able to do my OnStage Product Purchase Premiere that I shared with you back in November. The package has 12 patterns and each one of the 6 double sided patterns has a side with silver foil on it. So you’ve got lots of designs to choose from!
This adorable little box is so quick and easy to make that I couldn’t resist doing a video tutorial for you so you can make some too.

Easy? I’ve given you a complete supply list below for the box. And would you like to know how I made these charms?
Shrinky Dinks! Yes, you heard me right – a throw back to our childhood. I love watching them curl up and shrink. LOL!
Simply stamp the images from the Crafting Forever stamp set (143955/143958) onto the Shrinky Dinks using Basic Black Archival Ink and color them with Stampin’ Blends or Sharpies. (Be careful not to touch the line image or it may smear.)
I fussy cut the scissors and used a circle punch for the sentiments. After that I punched a 1/8″ circle using my Handheld Circle Punch. Heated according to the directions and then added them to a jump ring so that I could add them to the premade holder.
Quick and easy – since I made the scissors different colors we can all tell our scissors apart now!

I recently held my Occasions Catalog Kick Off the end of December and so I thought I’d share the projects that we made with you over the next few days along with the tutorials for them. Today’s lavender sachet was their gift for attending.
Everyone was great about the fact I wasn’t able to finish assembling them myself due to a last minute procedure the day before, so it became a third project for them. LOL! I’ve got such a great group of stampers!
We had a lot of fun using the new products and stamping together. Everyone who attended not only made 3 fun projects, but also got to see the fun new products from them for the first time.
Want to see how they are made? I’ve whipped up a quick video tutorial for you and also a printed tutorial too!
The recipe for the sachet filling is easy to make, I’ve included it in the Tutorial, all you need is some corn cob pet bedding and essential oils.

Today’s project is a quick one I whipped up for two of my daughter’s friends who just graduated with their Music Therapy degrees. Are you noticing a theme in my house? This note books are quick and easy to make with just a few supplies.
I really like the way they turned out and hope they will too.
How did I make them? First I chose the Designer Series Paper I wanted. You need two sheets to do these composition note books.
I measured and cut my Designer Series Paper, added my favorite adhesive, Tear & Tape and adhered. Yep – It’s just that quick and easy to do! Then I finished decorating as desired.
Supplies:
Paper: Merry Music Specialty Designer Series Paper (144623), Basic Black (121045), Real Red (102482), Bermuda Bay (13197) and Whisper White Card Stock (100730)

I have been limited with my shopping radius lately – so the Dollar Tree has been a favorite spot to stop and I’ve found sound fun items such as the lemon candy canes and these mints.
The tin is Cherry Cobbler so it was perfect to make these little treats that were inspired by the chap stick holders I shared with you HERE.
Here’s what I came up with
I simply cut the Be Merry Designer Series Paper 3″ x 7″ added a bit of Fast Fuse to each end and wrapped it around the tin. I stamped the sentiment in Garden Green Classic Ink and cut it out using the Stitched Oval Framelits Die. Then I layered the sentiment using a couple of Stampin’ Dimensionals onto a Cherry Cobbler Scallop Circle and adhered it to the center of the wrap. Finally I grabbed my Garden Green 3/8″ Stitched Satin Ribbon, wrapped it around the tin and tied a bow. I just LOVE the way this ribbon ties!
Voila! finished in under 5 minutes too!!!
While I used these little treats the tin is about the same as an Altoids tin – I just loved the color of the tin. LOL!
And how about some more cards? These stamp sets can all be found in our Annual Catalog
Supplies:
Stamp Set: Snowflake Sentiments (144817/144820)
Inks: Garden Green classic Ink (126973)
Paper: Be Merry Designer Series Paper (144111), Cherry Cobbler (119685) and Whisper White Card stock (100730)
Accessories: Garden Green 3/8″ Stitched Satin Ribbon (144181), Layering Ovals Framelits Dies (14176) and Stitched Shapes Framelits Dies (145372)
I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again – I love to pamper my team! So for this month’s team meeting we had our Annual Holiday luncheon and enjoyed some time together where we laughed, shared, played and stamped.
Want to see some of the wonderful items they’ve been making since the last meeting?
Fantastic projects, right? I can’t pick a favorite – I’ve got such a great team of folks who just love to paper craft!
We had fun playing the dice game too. Have you ever played this game?
Fun, and fast paced! And of course when the clock runs out – the goodies are yours!
I made these fun Lots of Lavender Bags. The stamp set is one of our Sale-a-bration options and I couldn’t resist the yummy new ribbon from the Occasions Catalog.
Each bag was filled with a little something special from the NEW Occasions Catalog! Everyone was a winner!
And of course we made a couple of projects too- So we did some stamping too! I had so much fun designing for my Santa’s Workshop Class that I had too many projects for just one class. LOL! You know me I love gift items and 3ds!!! So we made some candle holders and learned a fun new technique while we were at it!
I found these yummy lemon candy canes at the Dollar Tree and couldn’t resist putting them with a lemon scented candle and using the Lemon Zest stamp set (143805/143808). This bundle has very quickly become one of my go to favorites! Lemons, oranges, and limes – oh, my!
I thought you might enjoy making some of these for yourself. With all the crazy flavored candy canes out there right now the options are endless, but of course I can’t resist anything lemon!

Here is a project that I’m making for my daughter and her coworkers for the holiday season. I thought it would be a useful item since they are teachers – that is if they can find the ever elusive pen on their desks. LOL!
Hmmm…. maybe I should include a pen holder too? I’m going to have to think about that. I made these in Real Red since the High School colors are Black & Red.
