Spring Sampler Treat Box Tutorial

Posted on March 19, 2013 by Stamp with Jini

I made this cute little treat box using the Spring Sampler Stamp Set (item 125510/125512). I knew when I saw this set in the Spring Catalog I just had to have it – it’s so me. I could picture making quick and easy treats for all kinds of occasions.

I think the images in the Spring Sampler Stamp Set are just too cute! How about you?

Here is the Treat Box we made as a project during my March Blue Mountain Stampers meeting. We had a lot of fun thinking of different things (mostly chocolate) that we could put in the box. This time we filled them with these yummy eggs (They come in all kinds of flavors and remind me of those I got as a child.) Shhh… don’t tell my family. They’ll be finding theirs in their rooms Easter morning. I think my hubby will love the cookie dough egg I picked out for him!

We had so much fun making these quick and easy Treat boxes I thought you’d enjoy making them too for your friends and family. So why not check out my new video below – Spring Sampler Treat Box.

Posted on March 15, 2013 by Stamp with Jini

Easter is right around the corner and will be here before we know it. So I’ve been creating some little treats for family and friends filled with these cute little chocolate covered bunnies I found at the local Dollar Store. I just love using the Spring Sampler Stamp Set (item 125510/125512) from the Spring Catalog. I knew it was a must have set for me since it makes a quick and easy focal point for any project. And since the Spring Sampler Stamp Set has 24 images you can use it for all kinds of occasions!

I gave this little treat out for my swap at my monthly Blue Mountain Stampers meeting last night. They were so quick and simple to make since I used our Petite Pocket Die (item 123131). Do you recognize the Designer Series Paper? Well it’s Parkers Patterns (item 131021) from the Spring Catalog, and it’s not just for guy cards. These fun bold geometric patterns are great for a variety of projects like this Easter project!

Inks: Basic Black

Paper: Parkers Patterns Designer Series Paper, Tempting Turquoise, Regal Rose and Whisper White

Fancy Favor for Hostess Appreciation

Posted on March 1, 2013 by Stamp with Jini

Yesterday I told you would share the little gifts I made for my Hostess Appreciation Brunch – I like the way they turned out and seemed to be a hit with everyone. What can I say chocolate is always a hit!

It’s a cute little Fancy Favor Box I made using our FREE Sycamore Street Designer Series Paper filled with chocolate and coordinating card stock basket shreds. Of course, when you use the Big Shot and our Fancy Favor Die (item 115965) it’s quick and easy to make a batch of these up for any occasion.

Did you know you can make your own basket shreds to coordinate with your projects? It’s easy all you need is some card stock and your paper shredder! It’s a tip I picked up during Leadership Conference – What a great way to use those smaller pieces of card stock you have sitting around.

Supplies:

Stamp Set: Friendly Phrases (item 126149/126151)

Paper: Sycamore Street Designer Series Paper, Tangerine Tango, Island Indigo, Baja Breeze, and Whisper White

Accessories: Big Shot, Fancy Favor Die (item 115965), 7/8″ and 1 ¼” Scallop Circle (item 129404/127811) Punches, Bitty Buttons (item 118761), Whisper White Baker’s Twine, Tangerine Tango, and Island Indigo Stampin’ Write Markers

Hearts a Flutter Valentine Treat Boxes

Posted on February 14, 2013 by Stamp with Jini

Earlier today I mentioned I would share with you the Valentine Treat Boxes I made for all my Valentines today. I love these cute little boxes they are so quick and easy to make and they can be filled with an assortment of things. Today of course they are filled with chocolate!

I found these Russell Stover chocolates at my local drugstore and thought they sounded yummy – as luck would have it they were just the right size too for my Valentine Treat Boxes!

I think it is safe now to share these with you since I don’t think my kids will be looking at my blog today and I’ve already given my husband his. Here are some close up shots of each of the boxes.

I’ve used the Hearts a Flutter stamp (item 129249/129252) from the Spring Catalog set to create the focal point on each of these little boxes. The Hearts a Flutter is such a fun stamp set to use I find myself reaching for it for all kinds of projects. This first box is my husbands and he got his as he headed out the door for work. (Somehow I don’t think the treat will make it all the way to Lawrenceville.)

This second box is for my son, Johnathan. Although I made this box using more masculine colors I couldn’t resist putting a little “bling” on it. So I used my sharpie to color one of our Basic Rhinestone Jewels (item 119247).

And this final box is for my daughter, Kaitlin – so I made it using softer colors. I just love the Primrose Petals 3/8″ Stitched Satin Ribbon (item 126844), it’s so great to work I find myself reaching for it quite often.

I really can’t decide which box is my favorite. Which one do you like the best? Why not leave me a comment below and let me know.

Paper Hearts Video Tutorial

Posted on February 11, 2013 by Stamp with Jini

Are you ready for Valentine’s Day? I’m almost ready and since Valentine’s Day is just a few days away I wanted to share my video tutorial with you for these cute little Paper Hearts. I made these Paper Hearts to hang in the windows of my house. I think you’re going to have fun making them too – but be careful they’re so quick and easy they are addicting!

Here are 3 of the Paper Hearts that I made on Saturday.

As you can see I made my Paper Hearts in 2 different sizes and I used the Hearts a Flutter Bundle (item 131098/131097) to create the spinning heart in the center. Can you see the word love stamped on the center of the larger heart? (You can check out the close up below for a better view.) I used the stamp set Fabulous Phrases to stamp the word love on one side, and the word you on the other side, so when it spins it says “Love You”.

Fabulous Phrases (item 117002/120501) is one of those stamp sets I use all the time since it is such a pretty font and it contains 30 stamps that you can make all kind of different phrases with! (Want to see some of the combinations you can make with this set? Click HERE for a PDF and then see how many more you can make!)

Isn’t that fun? I can’t decide which one I like best since I just love the delicate scalloped heart image from the Hearts a Flutter stamp set, it reminds me of my Grandma for some reason. Why not leave me a comment below and let me know which Paper Heart you like the best.

Would you like to know how I made these Paper Hearts? Well why not check out my Paper Hearts Video Tutorial.

Here are the supplies I used to make my Paper Hearts:

Regals Color Collection Designer Series Paper Stock (item117154 $21.95):

Cross My Heart Valentine Treat

Posted on January 30, 2013 by Stamp with Jini

Have you seen the Cross My Heart Stamp Set (item 126580 w or item 126582 cm) in the Spring Catalog? Crossword puzzles remind me of my stepfather, Paul, who use to sit and work his from the Milwaukee Sentinel newspaper every day. When he could he would encourage me to help him fill them out – I was an awful speller as a child so this took a lot effort on his part.

Well, the Cross My Heart Stamp Set is just, fun – and I wanted to share a 3d swap that I received during Leadership from fellow demo Judy Westcott.

Judy used several items from our Spring Catalog along with our Petite Purse Die (item 125606) to make this Valentine treat. Isn’t it cute – and of course what can you put inside? Chocolate of course!

Supplies:

Stamp Set: Cross My Heart

Inks: Raspberry Ripple

Paper: More Amore Specialty Designer Series Paper, Pool Party, Pretty in Pink and Whisper White Card Stock

Accessories: Big Shot, Petite Purse Die, Hearts a Flutter Framelits Die, Full Heart Punch and Rhinestone Basic Jewels

Petal Cone Valentine Treats

Posted on January 28, 2013 by Stamp with Jini

Do you like to give Valentine Treats? Our Petal Cone Die is so much fun to use – you can do all kinds of things with it. Of course, I love 3d items and the ability to create gifts and treats for those special people in my life.

Here are two Valentine treats made with our Petal Cone Die (item 121810) that I received in swaps from Leadership earlier this month. Ann Marie made this first one – isn’t it fun?

And here is the second Petal Cone Die swap that I received. I love the banner with the butterfly – a nontraditional Valentine treat, since it could be used for any reason by just changing out the treat inside! Wedding, shower, birthday the choices are endless.

Which Petal Cone Die treat do you like best? Leave me a comment and let me know.
