awesome gift box

INSTRUCTIONS

  1. Wrap a piece of Regals Designer Series Paper around the Takeout Box to create a bellyband.
  2. Cut a piece of White Corrugated Paper using the Fringe Scissors. Adhere the paper to the box.
  3. Stamp the sentiment in VersaMark ink on a piece of Tangerine Tango Cardstock. Cover the stamped words with White Stampin’ Emboss Powder, shake off any excess powder, and heat set.
  4. Punch the two sides of the stamped cardstock using the Ornate Tag Topper Punch.
  5. Thread the Gold 1/8” (3.2 mm) Ribbon through the hole in one side of the cardstock and wrap it around the back side of the box and tie in a bow through the hole on the other side of the cardstock.

I think that is such a cute box to give as a gift. Hope you enjoyed it as well.

CreativeProj2_DBWS_USCA_Apr0112

Choose one of your favorite patterns from a designer paper and with the Boho Blossom punch, create a cute little flower for the front. A pretty little bow made from our Daffodil Delight 1/2″ seam binding ribbon.

I love this little alternative to the “standard” purse … so have fun with your die!  Don’t have one? Now’s a great time to order … Free Shipping from Stampin’ Up! and I will pay the tax for you!!

Sweet Treat Halloween Keepsake Box

Posted in 3-D Projects, Halloween by

Hello Stampin’ Friends,

I’m back with my Halloween series of cards and projects … Today a project! I saw so many fabulous boxes created with the “Curvy Keepsake Box” that I had to order one for myself, and my first endeavor highlights Halloween and the “Motley Monsters” Designer Paper …

000_1579

Isn’t that cute!  The box is so simple to create … just cut 2 pieces from the die (I slide the designer paper in too, to create the two tone look) I like using the 12 x 12 cardstock sheets cut in half for my boxes.

I plan on adding treats inside so I wanted to make a tag… and what better set is there to use than the new ” Merry Everything” stamp set.  I love a stamp set that you can use all year long! I love a great value too, an you can save 15% by bundling it with the coordinating “Note Tag” punch.

000_1572

I wanted to recreate the candy color on the designer paper, so I sponged the Daffodil Delight and Pumpkin Pie onto my Whisper White, and then stamped my “Good to the Last Bite” stamp. I used the new Memento pad … love it, love it, love it!

Let’s grab the “Sticky Strip” and put our little treat box together, and celebrate our sweet treat box. The ribbon is the new “Tangelo Twist” Satin Stitched ribbon … it’s even prettier in your hands!

000_1576_0001

Let’s not forget the yummies … Oh yes, and the little clothes pin came from one of my “Paper Pumpkin” kits!

000_1577

Thanks for stopping by today and checking out my creations… it’s truly appreciated.

If you would like to purchase any of the materials I used to create today’s projects, just click on the link below.  I will send you a Step-by-Step Instruction Sheet with tips on how I created today’s project.

Have an most awesome day ~

To my Stampin’ Friends … I Heart You

Posted in 3-D Projects, Product Wow, Valentines & Love by

Hello Stampin’ Friends,

Today I am sharing with you a little peek into my Appreciation Party and a new card I designed to say “Thank You”!  Make sure you go all the way to the end … I don’t want you to miss a thing!

Let me start with one of the cards my Hostesses stamped.  We had a stamp camp after the dinner, but my hostesses were treated to two additional cards … my way of saying “Thanks” for stampin’ with me this past year.

The card was inspired by a fellow demonstrators card … the talent pool within our demonstrator circle is endless and very inspiring!

000_1402

Because I will be sharing several samples with you … I will be listing the ingredients after each project, this will make it easier for you to pick out the items you want on your wish list.

The stamp set used is of course, a hostess set … I Like You, found on page 237.  The greeting comes from the Photopolymer stamp set; Endless Birthday Wishes.  My favorite thing about this stamp set is that you can create your own phrases!  Such as … have a lovely day!

000_1405

I used different Designer Series Paper for the belly bands, but this one comes from the Park Lane packet.  The flowers were fun to make and topped off the box so nicely.

The door prizes contained samples of our newest embellishments from the annual catalog.  One of the goodies enclose was a yard of each of the 5 “Thick Bakers Twine” … which will bring me to my next sample!

I wanted to share a card that showcased at least one of the door prize goodies, and this is what I thought of …  All of the 5 thick bakers twine are present with hearts streaming down.  I want my stampin’ friends to know exactly what they mean to me, and how much I really do appreciate their loyalty and friendship.  I really do “HEART YOU”.

000_1406

Hope you got a little taste of the fun that we had at the Appreciation party.  You can be there next year … I’m taking bookings right now for fall and Christmas stampin’ parties!

Contact me, ( lindaluvs2stamp@aol.com) I’d love to share the exciting new products with you and your friends.

Home Again …

Posted in 3-D Projects, Product Wow, Stampin' Event & Opportunity by

Hello Stampin’ Friends,

I have returned from my 2014 Spring Retreat … it was a wonderful time with a wonderful group of ladies.

They were welcomed with the banner I created using the kit that was free during Sale-a-bration.  I used the Silver Glimmer paper for the letters and dyed them just like the Easter eggs.  If you missed that post you can find it under the Scrapbooking or Technique Category list on the right side.

100_2353

The cute little flower pots were bought at the dollar store.  I added foam and moss for a more realistic look.  I wrapped the flower that was cut from the “Spiral Flower Originals Die” from the “Celebrate Everyday” catalog.  I put the link for you to view at the bottom of this blog.

100_2352

After dinner we gathered around the table to make additional flowers with the lollipops and a cute little flower kiss (Not Shown: Cased from Connie Stewart).

100_2355

The ladies picked a flower pot and added to their bouquet!   We even made a couple flowers to go on our banner … here’s the updated look 🙂

100_2362

 

Tomorrow I will share some of the swaps!  There was a lot of stampin’ talent this weekend!

Thank you for stopping by and …

Have a wonderful week!

Hello Sweet Friend Paper Bag

Posted in 3-D Projects, New Product Intro / Video by

Hello Stampers ~

I would like to do something a little different today.  I would like to share with you a video from the home offices at Stampin’ Up!  So … just click on the link below!

From the Stampin’ Up! Home Office …We are going to show you how to make one of the projects featured in our 2013-2014 annual catalog. You will find this cute bag on page 88, and with the use of our trusty Simply Scored scoring tool you can make a bag just like this with little effort.

Hello Sweet friend Bag video

If you plan on stamping on your bag, you’ll want to do that before you put the bag together. Start with a 6 ½ inch by 11 ½ inch piece of card stock. Score it at ½ inch, 4 ½ inches, 6 inches, and then at 10 inches. Then turn the paper and score at 1 inch and 5 inches.

The next step is to cut off the two small tabs on one side — and then to cut small Vs along all the score lines around the edges of your paper. (The height of the bag can easily be adjusted to suit your packaging needs.) Finally, add some Sticky Strip which will secure your bag together. The extra flaps on the top will help secure your handles.

This bag has been embellished with the Mixed Bunch stamp set and the Six-Sided Sampler stamp set — and a highlight is the flower piece created with the Blossom Punch and topped with a Vintage Faceted Button.

  I hope you enjoyed the video!

Hand Stamped Writing Tablet

Posted in 3-D Projects by

Hello Stampers ~

Today I am sharing with you a project that my attendee’s made at my annual Spring Retreat.  You will need: Cardstock, Paper Cutter, Simply Score (or use your score blade on your cutter) Fav Stamp Set, Designer Paper and border punch to embellish and Sticky Strip to hold it all together.  Now you can create this cute project…  great for teachers, friends, and more.

paper & pen

You’ll begin with an 8-1/2″ x 11″ sheet of cardstock (we used Island Indigo).  Trim 1/4″ off the 8-1/2″ side, bringing it down to 8-1/4″ x 11.  Score at 5-1/5″ then 5-3/4″.

Simply Score                           Flowering Flourishes

Simply Score 122334                                                  Flowering Flourishes

To design the front we stamped the top with the “Flowering Flourishes” stamp set.  Then we used “Comfort Cafe” Designer Series Paper … embellished using Pool Party cardstock and the “Scallop Trim Border Punch”.

101_1226

To create the pocket, start with a 5 x 4-1/4″ piece of cardstock (Pool Party).  With your Simply Score, you will score 1/4″ then at 1/2″ on 3 sides.  Trim out the corners where the score lines over lap.  Then fold cardstock at the score lines to create a pocket.  You will “sticky strip” the outer most scored fold.

You will use your sticky strip to adhere your tablet to your project as well.  Don’t forget to add a strip of Designer Series Paper into your pen so you have a matching set.

I’d love to hear who you will be creating this cute project for.

Have fun and Happy Stampin’

Linda
