Watercolor Wings Spring Frame & New Weekly Deals

I love using my stamping products for home decor and gift items since it gives me a chance to create something extra special. So I wanted to share this fun frame that I made to hold that special photo from Easter this month.

Watercolor Wings Butterfly frame

The base is just one of those inexpensive wooden frames that you can find for a dollar. How did I make it? Well first I used our Stampin’ Glue Sticks to adhere a layer of our Cucumber Crush paper from the 2015-2017 In Color Designer Series Paper Stack to the wooden frame. The Stampin’ Glue Sticks are perfect for this type of project since it has square edges that will fit into corners easily.

Next I made some flowers using our Spiral Flower Die. Sooo quick and easy. Run your Bone Folder down the card stock after cutting it out, roll and adhere. Yep that is it! I did sponge the edges a bit to give it a bit more depth and added a touch or two of the Dazzling Details on the edges to make them look dew kissed.

I made two butterflies and adhered them only in the center so I could bend the wings and give the butterfly a 3d look. And I added a bit more of the Dazzling Details on both pieces to add a bit of shimmer.

I think my daughter will enjoy this little item for her Easter basket. How about you? What do you think of this little frame I made?

Paper Pumpkin Cute Conversations!

Check out these quick and easy treats I made for friends and family using the supplies I found in my January Paper Pumpkin Kit – Cute Conversations.

The kit came with a ton of stuff – along with a great stamp set, ink and adhesives! I love the Watermelon Sequin Trim included in this kit. What fun!

Paper Pumpkin Cute Conversation Kit Contents

So after watching the quick little video I set to work. (You can see it below) I liked the projects as designed but the cute little pouch that was created using two of the hearts wasn’t big enough for all the treats I had bought.

Here is the original little pouch I made for my daughter.

Paper Pumpkin January 2016 projects Cute Conversations (8)

As you can see it holds these cute little tic tac mints that have little sayings printed on them – I couldn’t resist!

Paper Pumpkin January 2016 projects Cute Conversations (7)

Since I had the chocolate I stepped it up a bit with out Mini Treat Bag Thinlits Dies (137547) that are currently found on the Weekly Deals, but if you want these at a great price you’ll want to order them today! Since these Weekly Deals end tonight.

Paper Pumpkin January 2016 projects Cute Conversations (4)

What’s the chocolate?

Paper Pumpkin January 2016 projects Cute Conversations (5)

A favorite in our house and as you can see our little Mini Treat Bag made with the Thinlits Dies holds a lot since there was plenty of room to add a little something more to this chocolate. If you’d like to see all the variations of the little treat bags I made you can stop by my face book page HERE.

And my final project is this cute little candy holder I made as a little goodie for my Technique Class yesterday.

Paper Pumpkin January 2016 projects Cute Conversations (2)

It holds, a piece of Dove chocolate – Want to know how I made these? Well it was easy with my Simply Scored Scoring Tool (122334).  I scored down from the top of the heart 1 1/2″ and then again at the 3″ mark. And scored again 1″ in on each side of the heart.Next I stamped the sentiment I wanted in the space created by the fold lines. Folded the sides in and added a touch of Snail Adhesive to hold the candy and then folded the Folded the top (rounded part) of the heart over candy and adhered the point with a Glue Dot (103683)! Decorated it as desired and voila! A sweet little treat!

Want to see the kit in action? Here is the video –

Love Blossom Domed Treat Box

A New Catalog is a lot of fun – and of course when it’s Sale-a-bration, it’s even more fun! So to start the New Year off with a bang I held my NEW Catalog Sneak Peek Event on the 3rd of January – two days before the catalog launched! That meant that everyone who attended was able to play with some of the new products and see them before it went live! Whoo hoo! A great way to start off the New Year, right?

In today’s post I’m going to share with you some photos of the event. This first one is a picture of the classroom set up – to show you a bit of what greeted everyone who attended.

Occasions Sneak Peek Event 2016 (1)

And this second one shows you what was at everyone’s spot.

Occasions Sneak Peek Event 2016 (2)

Everyone who attended received a couple of special treats from me – and in today’s Video Tutorial I’ll show you how the little chocolate holder was made.

Love Blossom Domed Treat Box Video Tutorial (1)

I call these Love Blossom Domed Treat Box – I’m so original, not  with names – but well I called them this because they’re domed or treasure box shaped!

I used our new 6×6 paper stack, Love Blossoms since they were the perfect size! I didn’t even have to cut the paper!

Want to see a quick video tutorial on how to make them? Well, here you go. (Sorry about the froggy voice, I’m fighting winter allergies and just couldn’t wait any longer to share this with you.)

Domed Treat Box Video Tutorial:

A great project, huh? And it holds quite a bit so you can put almost any item you’d like inside. Of course, I wanted to pamper my guests with some Valentine chocolate, (before Larry found it!) so this was perfect.

Love Blossom Domed Treat Box Video Tutorial (2)

And of course, our Honeycomb Happiness (Sale-a-bration 1412788/141291) is an item that you can earn FREE during Sale-a-bration. I love the images and thought the sentiment was perfect for this project!

I’ve given you a complete supply list for this project below. And I don’t know about you, but I find the Envelope Punch Board a fantastic addition to my stamping supplies and have been finding all kinds of things besides envelopes to make with it!
