As soon as I saw the Happiness Blooms Designer Series paper I thought of the cute treats I could create with it for St Patty’s Day. The pattern looked like clovers to me. So here is what I came up with.
So I reached for the Amazing Life stamp set which contains not only the Good Luck sentiment but a 4 leaf clover too – both perfect for my project.
I’m a mint fan so when I found these little Russel Stover mints I picked up a bag – I love little prepackaged treats like this!
Want to see how I made them? Here is a quick video for you.
Today’s project is one that we did as last Weekend’s Peak Princess event. What is that you ask? This event is a special one for those on my team who qualify for it. It’s an afternoon of pampering – filled with games, prizes, and a special project and best of all time together.
Want to see some photos? This first one is of the class room, ready to go – the little skinny notepads that I shared with you yesterday are at everyone’s seats.
And of course there has to be some goodies, right?
One of the dishes I served was a delicious Black Bean Salsa that Sara Douglas shared with us on her face book page, sorry I can’t find it again to link it for you. She gave approximate measurements since she doesn’t measure the chopped ingredients – so I’m giving you what I did below. You can tweak it to fit your tastes.
Black Bean Salsa
Sara Douglass, Stampin’ Up! CEO
2 cans of black beans, drained and rinsed
2 cans of corn, drained and rinsed
1 bunch green onion, chopped
½ purple onion, chopped
1-2 cups red, orange, yellow and green peppers, chopped
Cilantro, leaves pulled and chopped
2 tsp olive oil
2 tsp Apple Cider Vinegar
2 tsp. Lime juice
¼ tsp. Garlic powder, salt and pepper (to taste)
Mix and serve. This makes a big bowl, the picture below is just half of what it made. So if you want the recipe can be cut in half.
Serve with corn chips – I used blue ones.
We played bingo – my daughter was home on break so she called Bingo for us (She thought it would be great practice for her upcoming band fundraiser too. Yes, believe it or not she is a Band Director. This is her second year of teaching now!)
Here are just a couple of the prize winners – we played 5 games
And of course we crafted together
And this February’s project was such a hit I thought I’d share it with you today in case you’d like to make some too. It’s a book that holds your cards – it includes a perpetual calendar for you too. It’s a great item that I’ve been using myself for years!
I really love the Share What You Love Specialty Designer Series Paper and it’s beautiful pearl finish that some of the sheets have so I started there. I think the fact that this Designer Series Paper is a bit heavier will help it hold up for years to come.
Here is the video I did for you.
Share What You Love Perpetual Calendar Card Book Video Tutorial
I’ve also created a pdf for you with the step by step directions and supply list.
Share What You Love Perpetual Calendar Card Book PDF
And here is the link for the Calendar pages for you. I simply printed them off onto Whisper White card stock.
I think these are going to make great gifts, so I’ll be getting a few more packages of this DSP so I can start my holiday gifts now and earn FREE Sale-a-bration items too! This pack of Designer Series Paper has 24 sheets in it so you can make several per pack of DSP and then use the extra sheets to create cards to go with the book!
Love the project but don’t have a binding machine? That’s not a problem – check with your local Office Supply Store. They normally can bind things for you or allow you to use their machine when you purchase the combs from them.
Enjoy!

I’ve used a typical Junior Legal Pad that I took to my local office supply, Office Pros in Cornelia. For a small fee they cut the legal pads in 1/2 for me. (If you don’t live locally most office supply stores offer this service, so you’ll just want to check with them on their requirements.)
I can’t get enough of the Hello Cupcake stamp set that you can earn during Sale-a-bration for FREE. So this month I teamed up our fun Gingham Gala Designer Series Paper and the Hello Cupcake stamp set. When you purchase the items that I used for this card you can get the set for free!

Merci chocolates are so yummy that I thought I’d create some treat holders to share them – plus it stops me from eating them since they seem to call my name! So I reached for the Meant to Be Bundle and got to work.
Here is what I came up with
This little treat holder holds 3 Merci Chocolates – a perfect size for just a little taste of chocolate when you want it.
I love the way the heart shape is at the top without any card stock behind it. Want to know how I made them? Here’s my video tutorial.

Valentine’s Day is right around the corner and I’ve been having fun creating little treats for my fellow stampers, family and friends. Today’s Tin Wrap is quick and easy to do – so you can make lots of them quickly! A plus for Valentine’s Day treats.
I thought this sentiment was a fun twist on the mints – get it? Meant….Mint…. lol
The tins I’ve used came from my local discount store and are cinnamon, but they are a standard size tin so you can use your favorite mints or tin.
Here is a quick Video Tutorial for you

Whew it is mid January already and I’m a bit late on sending out my January birthday cards – but better later than never right? Today’s card is made with the adorable cupcake set that you can earn for FREE during Sale-a-bration.
This set was one of the first ones I wanted since I could see all kinds of easy projects due to it’s bold images. And of course cupcakes are so popular right now for all kinds of events.
And I love the font used for the sentiments too – fun and swirly!
Here is the card I designed using the set for this month’s birthday cards.
Done in Highland Heather it uses the fun Bokeh Dots Stamp set to add the sparkles to the celebration.

I made today’s project as a little goodie for my team members and put one at everyone’s tables for the Winter Retreat this past weekend. I couldn’t resist these yummy little Creme Filled Wafer Rolls when I saw them and was hoping they were individual wrapped. However, that turned out not to be the case so our 2×8″ Cello Bags to the rescue!
I simply slipped 3 of the little sticks inside and sealed then decorated. I really like how they came together and think they turned out quite elegant with the Lovely Lipstick Foil Sheets. The little heart looks just like a chocolate box since I used the Tufted Embossing Folder. What do you think?
I’ve put a video together for you in case you’d like to make some of these treats too

Today’s card is another one that everyone was able to do at my Catalog Kick Off. It uses the Incredible Like You Stamp set found on page 21 of the Occasions Catalog. This set is great for all kinds of stampers since it also has a coordinating project kit (148552) – so whether you want to create or have everything ready to stamp this set is a winner.
The set contains both images and all occasions sentiments and it packs a wow with it’s 2 step stamping. Its cool the way that the stamp set’s images give you two tones automatically without stamping off first. Whether you use it with your Stamparatus or on its own its easy to use too!
I’ve made a both a video tutorial and PDF for you so you can make some too.

Today’s project is one I made for every last week for my 2019 Occasions Catalog Kick Off using the Sale-a-bration stamp set, Hello Cupcake.
The Lustrous White Mini Gable Boxes made this project quick and easy since all I had to do was decorate and assemble, the box was already to go with a lovely shimmery finish.
Everyone seemed to enjoy the little treat box they found at their seats when they arrived.
Did you know that the Hello Cupcake stamp set is FREE during Sale-a-bration when you place a qualifying order of $50 (before shipping and tax)? So when you order the supplies used to create this little box you’ll earn the stamp set. Yes, it’s that easy!
