Fun with Sale-a-bration’s Heart Shaped Bundle

Posted on by
Reply

Today’s cards use the Sale-a-bration option, Heart Shaped Bundle (Sale-a-bration 164953) that includes a stamp set and dies.

With Valentine’s and weddings coming up it is a wonderful choice when deciding on your FREE Sale-a-bration item.

This first card is a sweet little purse type card that has been created in our In Color, Pretty in Pink.

This little purse has lots of texture since it uses the Dotted Circle 3d Embossing Folder (163789) for the purse itself and the lovely Pretty in Pink 3/8″ Bordered Ribbon (163784) for the handle. The little clasp that holds it shut are 2 of the die cut pieces. Isn’t the sweet gold flower cut from our Gold Foil Sheets (132622) and Antique Pearls (164679) a nice touch?

Open the purse and you’ll see another cute little flower

and the sentiment along with the Country Lace Designer Series Paper (163415) that pulls the colors together.

And the last card I’m sharing with you today is a stand up card with a simple box on the left.

It uses our Bloom Impressions Designer Series Paper (Sale-a-bration 164944) and adds a pop of gold with our Adhesive Backed Heart Sequins (Online Exclusive 164920). This card is a little shorter than normal since it has the box portion, so it is only 5 inches long.

But it is super simple to create the box since the panel buts right up to the score line. Simply score the 11″ x 4 1/4″ base at 1 1/2, 3, 4 1/2 and 6 and decorate! And it folds flat too so it is great for mailing as it fits into our standard envelope.

Bee My Valentine Merci Treat

Posted on by

Today I’m going to share a quick little treat to whip up for someone special, or create a bunch of them and share with everyone lol. These little treats are so fun and easy to make you won’t want to stop! I was tickled when I received this little treat in a swap a couple of years ago during a BackStage event and could wait to make my own.

Of course, since they use a punch they are great to make a bunch of them too! This treat uses the Bee My Valentine stamp set (162457) and it’s coordinating Bee Builder Punch (162553).

Want to see how I created this treat? Here is a quick video and PDF tutorial for you with the supply list and meaurements.

#OnStage Houston and more

Posted on by

Whew. I’m catching back up after returning from Houston and the fantastic Stampin’ Up! event there. So today I thought I’d share some photos and some of the swaps I received during the event.

Stampin’ Up! outdid themselves with this event and the excitement was high – it’s been along time since we have been able to gather like this. My husband, Larry joined me for this event since we have family in Houston and would spend some time with them after.

Yep, that’s my cutie enjoying a bit of lazy river time on top of the Marriott with myself and other demonstrators before check in time for the event. He seemed to enjoy the energy that surrounded him and I had a hard time getting him to give me back my bag as I got ready for the General Session to start. Check out the goodies our Summer Splash trimmed backpack was filled with. A fun crafting bag tucks in the bottom and slides out through the pocket and a coordinating pencil “cup” bag in our new In Color Pretty in Pink.

A wonderful beginning for sure where I had a lovely opportunity to connect with some new stamping friends. A quick dinner at the Saltgrass Steak House with some yummy food

and then on to After Hours and some on hand stamping fun with new products from the 2024 Annual Catalog!

Hundreds of us filled the space for an full evening of stamping, laughter, and fun. Everyone was excited to see the new products and In Colors! They sure didn’t disappoint. I choose one of the Bundles, Spotlight on Nature (163579) that was offered since it has some great images and basic shape dies.

I’m looking forward to sharing these projects and more with you soon. Along with more photos from the event throughout this week.

Now how about some swaps? I thought I’d share of my Easter swaps with you since it is right around the corner. There were some really cute projects swapped for Easter here are a few that I received.

This first one is a fun little 3d treat holder that uses the Diaper Fold.

This little treat uses our Excellent Eggs Bundle (Retiring 162808) and our Subtles Designer Series Paper (Retiring 161644). And this soft and sweet card also uses the Excellent Eggs Dies (Retiring 162807) in the background for the little bunny but has a totally different feel to it.

The sentiment has been punched out using the Double Oval Punch (Retiring 154242) and the sweet little bow was created using the 3/8″ Sheer Ribbon Combo Pack (Retiring 161635). Sweet, right?

And finally a bright and cheerful card using the Easter Bunny Stamp set (Retiring 160272) and Easter Bunny Punch (Retiring 160331).

Isn’t the little pompom adorable for the tail? Colored with Crumb Cake Blends to pull in the dry embossed background using the Cane Weave 3D Embossing Folder (160580) and cheerful Glorious Gingham 6×6 Designer Series Paper (Retiring 163170). The Stylish Shapes Dies (159183) were used to cut both the opening for the bunny and sentiment.

That’s it for the day. Stop back by tomorrow when I’ll be sharing some more photos and swaps with you.

Construction Zone Pop Up Box Card Tutorial

Posted on by

Remember today kicks off a whole week of fun tutorials to celebrate my 15th Anniversary as a Stampin’ Up! Demonstrator. It’s my way of saying thank you for being part of my journey, I wouldn’t be able to do this without all my wonderful crafting friends.

So today’s card is a fun little card that is 3d and uses the Construction Zone stamp set (161582). It will fold flat when you want to mail it and pops up and creates a little box for you to display making it a lot of fun.

This card is great for the guys in our lives and our Stampin’ Blends make it a snap to add bold color.

For this card I chose to team it up with the Fresh as a Daisy Designer Series Paper (161289) and fun Deckled Circle Dies (162286). I just thought this side of the Designer Series Paper looked a lot like our red Georgia clay! I just love how our products are so versatile and work together. Don’t you?

Want to see how I created it? Why not check out my video below?

Cutest Cow Candy Bar Wrap

Posted on by

It’s a rainy day in Georgia and with the drop it temperatures its a great day to stay in and craft. So today I’d like to share with you a fun little project that I designed for a friends birthday using the Cutest Cows Bundle (162897).

I love the fact this set has fun little expressions and sentiments too.

I’ve used the Delightfully Eclectic Designer Series Paper (161640) because it had some fun spring time patterns. And for me when I think cow, I think Daisy. LOL can you tell I grew up in the dairy state?

This treat is quick and simple to make. That along with this fun stack of paper with multiple patterns that you can use makes it wonderful for creating a ton of treats for a special day. And it holds your favorite candy bar, I couldn’t resist the Cookies & Cream for this project.

I’ve whipped up a quick tutorial for you and a PDF too. Why not take a few minutes and check it out?

Perennial Lavender Mask Wraps

Posted on by

It’s winter and that always means the skin needs a bit of pampering, so when I ran across these foot masks at my local store I knew I wanted to create a fun wrap to create gifts for my team. After all who doesn’t like a little pampering any time of year?

The wrap allows you to slide the mask out easily

I’ve created this wrap up using the Painted Lavender stamp set (162594) but since I wanted to use the lovely Sale-a-bration FREE Pool Party 5/8″ Crinkle Ribbon (Sale-a-bration 162980)

I changed up the color pallet. You can see just how lovely it is and a great width for a bold pop of color. So I started with the Pool Party base and went from there. The images from the Painted Lavender Stamp set (162594)

were stamped using a quick and easy technique called the stamp off method, this technique will give you a different shades each time you stamp off making it a great way to create depth and give more flexibility when using your Classic Ink Pad.

I finally added some Purple Fine Shimmer Gems (162611) to add a bit of shimmer and texture to the project. These gems come in different colors and are quite pretty, you’ll want to be sure to check them out in my Online store.

Want to see how I made this wrap for my gift? Check out my video tutorial and printable PDF.

You can find all kinds of masks like I did at the Dollar Tree. We got our first ones as a hotel pillow gift on a trim and as my daughter and I found we enjoyed trying them out and enjoyed the bit of pampering it gave us.

Enjoy!

Fun Bee My Valentine Candy Bar Slider Tutorial

Posted on by

I’ve got another fun tutorial for you today using the Bee Mine Suite Collection (162560). This time it is a treat, containing something sweet! I’ve got my Team Winter Retreat this weekend and wanted to make something special to put on their tables today for those spending the weekend. So here is what I came up with.

I cased this layout from the Mini Catalog – I love how the samples can inspire us, don’t you? I simply changed it up slightly to suit my needs and voila! A fun little candy bar slider. When I found this candy bar at my local Aldi during the holidays I knew it would be perfect as a little treat using the Bee My Valentine Bundle (162554) so in the cart it went.

And of course I wanted to have a little signature panel for the back of the slider so a little message could be written too. Fun!

Gifts like this is one of the reason I started stamping. I love to make fun items to gift to family and friends and this makes it easy to do and cost effective too! Something that was helpful when my children were young and I need to make a class set.

Want to see how I made this Candy Bar Slider? I’ve got a video tutorial for you today along with the PDF which will have a complete supply list, YouTube Link so you can print it off and go back to it easily, along with step by step instructions too.

Enjoy! And be aware once you start creating with this Suite you’ll not want to stop – These little bees are too stinking cute!!!

Meandering Meadow Desk Calendar

Posted on by

Do you like to have a calendar on hand, or like to create little decor items? If so this fun little Acrylic Desk Calendar might be just want you’d like. I created this little decor item for my Team Shoe Box Swap last month and it got buried under some other projects so I didn’t get to share it with you earlier. But good news, here it is today.

I just fell in love with the Meandering Meadow Designer Series Paper that is part of our Online Exclusive selection as it is filled with wonderful landscapes and rich color. This paper was painted by one of our Stampin’ Up! Artisans on small canvases and then made in to designer series paper. So you’ll have wonderful little work of arts when you get this paper!

I found the Acrylic frame at my local dollar store and so couldn’t wait to create with it. Want to see how I made it, so you can make one too?

And if you love the project you may just want to get the stamp set too. It’s part of our carry over list and can be found in my Online Store. I just love the font used in this set that I used for this project and think it’s a great set for those cards we need to make too as it covers all kinds of occasions.

Enjoy! Stay dry and keep warm, it’s going to a crazy kind of weather weekend.

Bee My Valentine Skinny Milk Box

Posted on by

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.
