Birds of a Feather Table Treats

Posted on November 15, 2019 by Stamp with Jini

Today I’m going to share a fun project I made for this weekend’s #OnStage Event in Atlanta. I’ll be giving these out to some friends as table treats – just a little something, something for our sweet tooth.

I really love this set with it’s fun images and couldn’t resist using it for this Thanksgiving project when I found these pumpkin pie Rice Krispies treats with their gold wrappers (rather than their blue ones), I thought to my self it’s perfect! I’m always thinking color coordination when I’m looking at the packaging on the store shelf. Have you ever shopped that way?

Actually they actually are pretty good too. So if you run across them you might want to give them a try too. If not the regular ones will work just as well.

Since I’m taking these to share I thought you might like to make some to share too, so I’ve created a video for you.

Not only do I share how to make the holder, but I’ve also shared how I colored this little turkey with our Stampin’ Blends – I just love their bright bold colors for projects like these!

I’m going to run since I’ve got to get out the door, but stop back by again next week when I’ll be sharing the team gift I made for #OnStage with you. I ran out of time, so I don’t have the tutorial done yet.

Enjoy!

Supplies:

Giving Thanks & the Curvy Keepsake Box

Posted on November 26, 2014 by Stamp with Jini

As promised here are some quick little boxes I made using the Curvy Keepsake Box Die (135853) that you can whip up for your Thanksgiving guests or anytime you want to tell someone you’re thankful.

I love the way this first one turned out. I think the Color Me Autumn Designer Series Paper (135820) looks like Indian corn. I think that is what it’s called any how.

I’ve used the Mingle All the Way stamp set (135770/135773) and colored the sentiment using my Cajun Craze, Soft Suede, Blackberry Bliss and Mossy Meadow Stampin’ Write Markers and stamped on Very Vanilla card stock (101650). And I punched out my sentiment using the Note Tag Punch (135860).

I added a piece of my Mossy Meadow 3/8″ Stitched Satin Ribbon (133670) and added the tag to my box using my Handheld Stampler (135850) and Silver Mini Staples (135847). I just love this little stapler it’s just the right size and feels great in my hand!

This next box was made using the Merry Everything Bundle (135860). Once again I colored the sentiment using my Stampin’ Write Markers. This time I chose Baked Brown Sugar, Calypso Coral and Real Red that my Nordic Noel Designer Series Paper (135822) had in the pattern.

I simply punched a hole in the top of my tag with my 1/4″ Handheld Circle Punch (134364) and used my Calypso Coral 1/2″ Seam Binding Ribbon (134569) to tie it onto my box. I love the bright pop of color that the Calypso Coral bow gives it – very festive I think.

And now a more traditional look for my holiday table.

Here is my Curvy Keepsake Box made up to look like a pumpkin. I used Tangelo Twist card stock (133646) and added some texture using the Arrows Embossing Folder (132187). Ran some Mossy Meadow card stock through my Big Shot using the Feathers Framelits Die (135852) to use as the leaves. I added them to my pumpkin by punching a hole with my 1/16″ Handheld Circle Punch (134363) and inserting a 1/8″ Mini Brad (122941) through the hole. Then I simply squeezed a piece of Natural & Olive Two-Tone Trim (135837) between the feathers and tied it onto my box. Voila! a lovely little pumpkin to hold some after dinner mints.

Have you seen the fun Autumn Wooden Elements in our Holiday Catalog on page 46? I love these fun little wooden pieces.

Here is a card that I made using the little oak leaf. I love them natural, but thought it would be fun to try and add some color this time. Adding color was really simple to do. I simply grabbed one of my Stampin’ Sponges and sponged. Yep, it was that easy!

So Thankful

I’m finding all kinds of fun ways to use my Project Life Holiday Cheer stamp set. Last night I created this colorful fall card using the Motley Monsters Designer Series Paper.

So what do you think? Bright and colorful – I thought it was a great way to send a thank you card or holiday greeting.

I simply used the top portion of my designer series paper and cut off the cute little monsters at the bottom to use for another project. Added some of the Bermuda Bay card stock that I had trimmed with my Tiny Wave Rotary Wave Blade as an accent and then stamped my focal point and voila I was done. So quick and easy!

Stamp Set: Project Life Holiday Cheer (135188)

Inks: Bermuda Bay (131171), Crushed Curry (131173), and Tangerine Tango Classic Ink (126946)

Full of Blessings

Posted on November 22, 2012 by Stamp with Jini

Happy Thanksgiving everyone – I hope that everyone will have a wonderful day. It has been a tough year around here at times but I’m so thankful for my husband and children. They can be frustrating, but they are the best part of my personal life.

Stamping is also a big part of my life and I wanted to say thank you to all of you for being part of it. I never thought when I went to my first Sale-a-bration Stamp a Stack with my girlfriends, Michelle and Becky, that stamping would enrich my life so much. So I am also very grateful for my customers, TEAM members, and for all of the friendships that I have made through my stamping business! Without you I couldn’t have continued my journey with Stampin’ Up! and been able to share what I love with you.

Although our family will celebrate our Thanksgiving on Saturday this year since my husband is working today and can’t be with us. My children will be home and I’m looking forward to spending some time together with them decorating the house as a surprise for Larry. He is a bit of a Grinch when it comes to the decorating of the house – not his cup of tea per say. Johnathan loves to decorate and bake with me during the holidays – so he’ll be my partner in crime! Since Kaitlin is a senior this year and Johnathan 20, I know that this time together is precious.

Today’s card, Full of Blessings, is one that I received during Regional in Chattanooga this fall from fellow demonstrator Bonnie Duncan and I thought you might enjoy it.

Supplies:

Stamp Set: Full of Blessings

Inks: Jet Black StazOn Ink and Pumpkin Pie

Paper: Orchard Harvest DSP, Pumpkin Pie, Early Espresso, Whisper White

Accessories: Pumpkin Pie, Cajun Craze, Garden Green and Cherry Cobbler Stampin’ Write Markers, Always Artichoke ½” Seam Binding Ribbon, Big Shot, Labels Collection Framelits, and Stampin’ Sponge

Nugget Turkey

Posted on November 20, 2012 by Stamp with Jini

Hi everyone today I thought I would share a fun project with you… a Nugget Turkey. I think they are so stinking cute! And they’re are so much fun to make with a few simple supplies. Of course anything with chocolate around my house is a hit – how about yours?

To bring a Thanksgiving smile to your loved ones faces you’ll need to gather the following supplies to make your Nugget Turkey.

More Mustard DSP (I used the polka dot print from the Regals DSP Stack: 1″ x 3″ and some for punching

Chocolate Chip and Pumpkin Pie CS: for punching

Pumpkin Pie CS: 3/8″ x 3/8″

1 3/4″ Scallop Circle Punch

1″ Circle Punch

Googlies (from the Holiday Catalog – they are self stick! Isnt that great!)

Glue Dots

Multipurpose Liquid Glue

Paper Snips

Hershey’s Nuggets (which ever type floats your boat – not sure? Taste test them after all Thanksgiving is calorie free, right?)

Here’s how you do it –

1. Punch out 3 coordinating tail feathers from you More Mustard DSP and Chocolate Chip and Pumpkin Pie CS using the 1 3/4″ Scallop Circle Punch.
2. Punch 1″ Circle from Chocolate Chip CS. You should have the following pieces and are ready to assemble.

3. Wrap the 1″ x 3″ strip of DSP around your Nugget, and stick the end down using a Glue Dot. (Taste a piece of chocolate to make sure it’s good.)

4. Trim away the bottom 5 scallops from the first tail feather using your Paper Snips.

6. Line up and adhere the first feather on top of the More Mustard DSP feather and trim away 4 scallops. (Why not try and different flavor Nugget, you want to make sure you’re using the right one, right?)

6. Line up and adhere the two layers of feathers on top of the Chocolate Chip CS feather and trim anything off the bottom that shows. (Hmm… Did you say Chocolate Chip – maybe you should check out those Nuggest again?)

7. Attach feathers to the back of the Nugget using a Glue Dot or two.

8. Fold the 3/8″ x 3/8″ piece of Pumpkin Pie CS in half to create the beak and attach this to the 1″ Chocolate Chip Circle using Multipurpose Liquid Glue. Allow to dry.

9. Attach your Googlies to give the little guy eyes – after all aren’t they too cute wiggling around like that? (Oops.. better try another one of those nuggets before you’re done. Want to make sure you tried all the flavors right?)

10. Attach your head of your turkey to the front of your Nugget using a Glue Dot and you’re finished.

Isn’t he cute? Why not make another one – after all there is still chocolate left right?

I hope you enjoyed this little tutorial for my little Nugget Turkey.

Blessing Mix Box

Posted on November 19, 2012 by Stamp with Jini

Turkey Day is this week – can you believe it? It’s really snuck up on me. Since I’ve wanted to share this great Blessing Mix Box with you that my friend JoAnn gave me recently I figured today would be a great day for it.

I don’t know about you but I love to give out little gifts to family and friends and so I am planning on making a bunch of these this week. JoAnn used our wonderful Kraft Gift Box (item #124106) which is currently on sale this week during our Online Extravaganza for just $2.07 for a package of 4 and our Brights Designer Buttons (#119747) also available during the Online Extravaganza for just $6.27. So it’s a great time to get yours.

Inside JoAnn placed all the goodies described in the poem into one of our cello bags and tied it up with a ribbon.

Want to make some of these Blessing Mix Boxes for your family and friends? Here is the poem for you to use.

Blessing Mix

The Bugles are a symbol of the Cornucopia, a horn of plenty.

The Pretzels represent arms folding in Thanks & Prayer.

The Candy Corn reminds us that during the first winter, the pilgrims were allowed only five kernels of corn per day because the food was scarce.

The Fruit is a reminder that Thanksgiving is the celebration of the harvest.

The Peanuts represent seeds, the potential of the bounteous harvest of the next season if they are planted & well tended.

Have fun!

Supplies:

Stamp Set: French Foliage

Inks: Cajun Craze and Midnight Muse

Paper: Comfort Café DSP, and More Mustard, Summer Starfruit, Cajun Craze, and Very Vanilla

Accessories: Kraft Gift Box, Brights Designer Buttons, Early Espresso Baker’s Twine, and Stampin’ Sponge
