Sweetheart Treat Bags

Posted on February 3, 2014 by Stamp with Jini

Did you know that our A Whole Lot of Love promotion has been extended until February 14th? What does that mean? You can still get the great products and kits until February 14th – Yippie, right? Click HERE to see more about A Whole Lot of Love promotion and the items that are included.

Here is project I made with the Sweetheart Treat Bags (134610) and the Love You to the Moon stamp set (133140/133143) and stepped up a bit with a couple of things not included in the kit.

I filled this little Sweetheart Treat Bag with chocolate kisses and then stamped my image from the Love You to the Moon stamp set in Real Red (126949). Punched it out using the Ticket Duo Builder Punch (126883) and layered that onto a Real Red punched ticket that I cut in half. Stapled a little piece of our Pool Party Seam Binding Ribbon (125582) and the banner that comes in the kit to the bag to seal it, and then added my image using a dimensional. Quick and easy peasy!

You can see my Sweetheart Treat Bag with just the kit elements HERE.

Want to see a Valentine 3d swap that I received during Leadership? This one is great project for the kids or even a teacher to use for class Valentines.

It just requires some pencils and our 1″ x 8″ Cello Bags (124134). The cute little image from the A Round Array stamp set (129087/129090) was stamped in Real Red and punched out with our 7/8″ Scallop Circle Punch (129404). Then layered onto a 1 1/4″ Scallop Circle Punch (127811) with a piece of Real Red 1/4″ Stitched Grosgrain Ribbon and attached to the cello bag.

How much easier can it get right? Any child would love this as their class treat. A new pencil was always a hit with my kids.

Love You to the Moon Candy Bar Holder

Posted on January 30, 2014 by Stamp with Jini

Here is a cute little candy bar treat holder that I made using the Envelope Punch Board and the Love You the the Moon Stamp (133140/133143) set from the Occasions Catalog (page 25).

They’re quick and easy to make and a lot of fun to give. I made these little candy bar holders at Christmas using the Color Me Christmas stamp set, you can see the video tutorial showing you how I made them HERE.

For this project I started with the Retro Fresh Designer Series paper (1326993). I used my Coastal Cabana, Baked Brown Sugar, and Tangerine Tango Stampin’ Write Markers to color the image. Punched it out with my 1 1/4″ Circle Punch. Layered that on a 1 3/8″ Coastal Cabana circle and then a 1 3/4″ Baked Brown Sugar Scallop Circle that I used my paper piercer and mat on to punch the scallops.

I love my punches they are fun and easy to use – so these little focal points are fast to do.

My little treat holds a mini candy bar.

Supplies:

Stamp Set: Love You the the Moon Stamp (133140/133143)

Paper: Retro Fresh Designer Series paper (1326993), Baked Brown Sugar (131296), Coastal Cabana (131297), and Very Vanilla Card Stock (101650)

I received this as one of my 3d swaps during Leadership from Lyssa Swolanke, one of my fellow Demonstrators. It’s cute and easy to do using the chalk board technique for the image. Just embossing the image using White Embossing Powder and then use a sponge to rub on a little of our Whisper White Craft Ink. How much simpler can you get, right? And what a great little treat to send to class with your child.

Festive Flurry Sugar Scrub & Gift Bag

Posted on December 11, 2013 by Stamp with Jini

This weekend my daughter wanted to make a couple of gifts for her college girlfriends, of course she informed me of this last minute so I needed something quick and easy.

Kaitlin decided to make them Pumpkin Spice Sugar Scrub and since I had one of our Festive Flurry Ornament Kits (item 135813) that seemed like a great place to start. So while Kaitlin mixed up the sugar scrub I got to work on the gift bags and jars.

Here is what we came up with – In less than an hour the two of us had these great handmade gifts for her girlfriends that I think they will really enjoy.

Here is a close up of the gift bag – What did I do to create this lovely gift bag?

I used the Festive Flurry Ornament Kit to create the focal point on my bag – It was quick and simple to do with just my glue gun needed, since everything else was in my kit. So all I had to do was punch the pieces out, score and then assemble.

I used the single stamp, A Gift for You (item 134765) that I stamped in Soft Suede onto Whisper White card stock and then punched out the sentiment with the matching Label Bracket Punch. I added a Pool Party snowflake that I cut out using the Festive Flurry Framelits Dies (item 132193) to create the little tag that I hung with Whisper White Baker’s Twine on the handle.

I didn’t have any tissue paper in the color I wanted and the white was kind of blah with the white gift bag – it needed a pop of color. So to create the coordinating tissue paper, I simply took some that I already had laying around and stamped it using one of the snowflakes from the Festive Flurry Stamp Set in Crumb Cake, Isn’t it cool how you can make your tissue paper match your gift bags?

Ok so now the bag was finished and I wanted to decorate the little jars that hold the Pumpkin Spice Sugar Scrub, right?

So I simply used the Festive Flurry Ornament Kit again – but this time I only used the two smaller snowflakes and punched a 2 1/2″ Circle from Crumb Cake as the base. Once I built my snowflake with the hot glue gun I added it to the lid using Glue Dots, of course you could also use Sticky Strip.

Sugar Scrubs are a lot of fun to make and are very popular right now. I love the fact that you can find everything in your kitchen to mix up a batch and it doesn’t have any preservatives in it – so they are great for those of us with sensitive skin. And this Pumpkin Spice Sugar Scrub is particularly yummy – when you use it you’re surrounded with the wonderful smell of pumpkin pie!

I love to use mine in the shower, since this recipe is gentle enough you can use it for both a hand scrub or body scrub. It is a wonderful way to moisturize during the winter. Even my hubby likes to use it on his dry hands in the winter.

Want the recipe? I figured you’d would so here it is:

Pumpkin Spice Sugar Scrub

2 c. Brown Sugar

1 c. Sugar

2 T. Pumpkin Pie Spice (reduce, if desired for less intense scent)

1 c. Sunflower Oil (you can also use Safflower or Vegetable oil)

Place ingredients into bowl. Mix until well blended. Store in a air tight container.

This recipe makes enough for a pint jar and can be used anywhere on your body. Just moisten your hands, scoop out a spoon full and rub in a circular motion on your moistened skin. Rinse and enjoy.

Be careful if you’re using this in the shower since the sunflower oil will make the floor slick. You’re going to love how soft this makes your skin feel! I use mine 2-3 times a week and the scrub should last for weeks and weeks if you are careful not to get water into it. You can add a cute little spoon to your gift for scooping if desired.
