It’s Your Special day Cutest Cows fun fold

 Happy Saturday and welcome back to the blog.  I'm so happy you are here.  I hope you will watch the video replay of how I put this card together over on my YouTube channel.  This week's focus is all about using those stamps you already have in your collection and maybe using them with something new.  You bought them, let's use them and make them new again by adding other items in your collection to make some really cute cards.  Today, we are using some stamps that were actually meant to be throw away pieces to make our "cow spots", along with an older Cutest Cows, newer Perfect Pairs (already on the last chance list) and some newly released dies.  I hope you like this card and how I mashed all these things together for a unique look.  



Measurement & Supplies:
Cow spots from inside pieces in Hearts & Hugs 163659 (but see what you have on hand.)  I like to keep these excess pieces.  You can always put them in a case with other inside red rubber pieces from other stamps just for future use anytime you need them.

Cutest Cows stamps 162892 & Cutest Cows Builder Punch 162896
Perfect Pairs stamp set 164898 (Last Chance item)

Elements of Text stamps 164774
Blending Brushes
Adhesive-Backed Sparkle Gems 161288
Azure Afternoon cardstock for card base 5 1/2" x 8 1/2", scored at 1 1/4" & 4 1/4"
Basic White cardstock, 4 x 5 1/5", 2 3/4" x 5 1/4" & additional for stamping and die cutting

 Hey all, I've got another vertical floating bandstand card for you today.  I absolutely love this fun fold.  I think it's easy and makes such a huge impact.  I made this particular card so I could send it out to my Aunt in Minnesota as I didn't get to mailing out my Christmas cards.  I wanted her to know I hadn't forgotten about her but didn't really want an all out Valentine card.  This is the result.  I hope you like it.  To see how I've put this card together, you can watch the video over on my YouTube channel.

 For today's project I've used some new dies by Stampin' Up! to make a hexagon shaped birthday card for my youngest grandson.  He'll be seven in March and is absolutely obsessed with dinosaurs so when Stampin' Up! released the Darling Dinos bundle in January, I knew I would have to have it.  Thanks for taking a look.  To see how I've put this card together, there is a video replay over on my YouTube channel.

To The Point Label topped box in a bag

 I saw an idea making a large box in a bag that used a 9” piece of Designer Series Paper which gave me the idea to alter the dimensions in order to make better use of a 12 x 12 sheet.  I usually make multiples so using a piece of Designer Series Paper that size wasn’t to my liking.  First, I altered it to make a bag that had a 1 1/4” square bottom and I really liked the size.  Then, I thought it might be less wasteful to make it a bit bigger and still get six from a 12 x 12 sheet but with no waste.  I went back to the math and came out with my larger bag measurements.  To see how I put both bags together, be sure to watch the video replay on my YouTube channel.







Supplies and Measurements:
Marbled Elegance Designer Series Paper 164919
    For Small Bag 3 1/2" x 5 1/2"
    Score on 3 1/2" side at 1 1/4".  If directional paper, the bottom of the pattern should be where you are scoring at (if using a Simply Scored, pattern bottom should be on the left.)  Rotate DSP clockwise to the 5 1/2" side.  Your scoring line should be at the top of the scoring tool.  Score only down to the score line at 1 1/4", 2 1/2", 3 3/4" and 5"
   
 For Larger Bag 4" x 6"
    Score on the 4" side at 1 3/8" (If directional, pattern should be on the left of the Simply Scored tool).  Rotate clockwise (score line should be at the top of the tool) and score only down to the score line at 
1 3/8", 2 3/4", 4 1/8" & 5 1/2"

Additional supplies for small bag:
Hugs For Love bundle* 165738 (includes stamps 1164559 & To The Point Label Punch 164568)
Basic White cardstock scrap
Inks: Summer Splash & Real Red
Adhesive-backed Heart Sequins 164920

Additional supplies for larger bag:
Latte Love stamp set 163455 (Last Chance item while supplies last)
Around It All dies 164725
Keeping Tabs Punch 163538 (available in a bundle 163540* with coordinating stamps)
Wonderful Thoughts stamps 161899 & coordinating dies 161491 for sentiment
Cardstock scraps in Basic White and Melon Mambo
Ink: Melon Mambo, Early Espresso
Blending Brush
Gold Twisted Thread 164603
Tear & Tape 154031
Non-Stampin' Up! Supplies:  Velcro 3/8" Thin Clear Fasteners

These little bags are really quick and easy to make.  You can make them super simple or step them up as I've shown here.  I hope you give them a try.  They're the perfect little table favor for most any occasion just by changing the paper and decorations.  To order your Stampin' Up! supplies, click on the shopping cart in the upper right.  My online store is always open.  I thank you in advance for your support of my small business.  It helps me to keep making videos and projects for all of you.

Until next time; be happy, stay healthy and happy stamping!

Delicate heart shaped chocolates treat box

 I thought it would be a good time to make a small box to fit the Ghirardelli heart shaped chocolates which are currently available at my local Costco.  Of course, you can find them in most grocery/department stores now as well.  As Stampin’ Up!®️ is offering the  Heart Shaped bundle for free during Sale a-bration, it seemed like a great time to design a box to fit both products.  This is the result and I hope you will find it useful.  Watch the video replay on my YouTube.  channel and I’ll show you just how easy it is to put together.

Bee Gabled You Make Me Smile Box

Hello everyone!  I'm continuing this week with my series using the Meant to Bee bundle from the January 2025 Scrapbooking Brochure and combining it with the Hugs for Love punch bundle from the January - April 2025 Stampin' Up! mini catalog.  My project for you today is inspired by Marisa Alvarez.  She made a gabled treat box last week that I loved.  It didn't quite fit the To The Point Label Punch I wanted to use, so I altered the dimensions and created a different sized box perfect for your Valentine treats or for any other occasion.  To see how I put the box together, be sure to watch the video replay over on my YouTube channel.

Mixed Labels Easel Calendar with sticky note pocket and pen holder

Hello and welcome back to my blog!  I hope you find today's 3D project useful.  I've used new product just released today by Stampin' Up! today.  I was inspired by other demonstrators who had made easel cards but couldn't quite make their designs work for me, so I took a couple different ones, added my own dimensions and my own design for the pen pocket, along with some help from my friend Tracy and came up with this design I'm very happy with.  My original prototypes were too front heavy and wouldn't stand up.  This one works perfectly and doesn't fall forward.  It's not really very difficult and I've provided some tips and tricks in the video, so be sure to watch how I've put this together.  The replay is over on my YouTube channel.

Sneak Peek of Heart Shaped Just Because I Care fold over treat box

 Hello everyone.  I hope you like the sneak peek of one of this year's Sale a-bration offerings by Stampin' Up!  This is a level 2 set which includes a photopolymer stamp set and coordinating dies.  I found some Italian milk chocolate hearts at my local Home Goods store and knew I would need to make a treat box to share them in.  I designed two boxes, one with reinforced sides and front and the other with just a reinforced front so I could get two boxes from one sheet of cardstock if I were to make a bunch of them.  I like to design boxes which allow me to get multiples from one sheet of cardstock.  If you would like to see how I've put this box together, be sure to watch the replay over on my YouTube channel.
