So Cute! Four Adorable Mini Curvy Keepsake Boxes

Love, love, love these sweet little boxes! I have a video with how to make all 4 projects and a free PDF project sheet for the Frankie project - just scroll down! 

The base for all of these projects was the amazing Mini Curvy Keepsake Box! The set of dies comes with the box die and all of these tags and pieces to decorate the box with.

I designed this "surprised" Casper the ghost for my Halloween Treat Holder Class! We added this cute tag from the Tags, Tags, Tags bundle to the top - and attached it with the wispy Polka Dot Tulle Ribbon. The mouth is one of the Monster Bash Enamel Shapes (the largest circle).

For the next three projects I added the Harvest Hellos stamp set and Apple Builder punch to the Mini Curvy Keepsake Box to make the apple, jack-o-lantern, and Frankie projects. By pairing up these two products you can create so many adorable treat holders!

A sweet fall apple! Inside is a Hershey's Chocolate Carmel Apple - yummy! Super simple to make, just stamp the apple, punch out the image, punch out the stem and leaf and attach it to the Mini Curvy Keepsake Box!

The backside!!

I used this same little apple as a baby gift a few weeks ago. My friend Caroline is expecting her first baby soon, she owns a Smoothie Bowl business so the fruit was the perfect way to package the baby gifts!

I popped them into the Baker's Box and added the rest of the baby socks that I could not fit into the apples! 

Back to Halloween! Again I used the images from the Harvest Hellos to make this little Jack-o-lantern! The face is embossed with the new Shimmer Black embossing powder and I added a bow from the Magnolia Lane Ribbon Combo Pack.

A quick sentiment on the back, again from Harvest Hellos and cut out with the oval from the Stitched Shapes Dies.

I love doing Punch Art! You take a variety of punches and dies and make cute creatures from them - so fun! I designed this little Frankenstein treat box for my Halloween Treat Holder class!

On the backside is these sweet little tag from the Tags, Tags, Tags bundle! 

One of the great benefits of this bundle is you get three tags images on one stamp and can cut out all three tags at the same time with the matching die! It is such a time saver to be able to make 3 tags at once! In the set there are three stamps, one with 3 Halloween tags, one with 3 Valentine's tags, and one with 3 Christmas tags. Remember the tag from the Ghost box? That was one of the three, the 2nd was the tag on Frankie, and the 3rd will be featured on a project I will share next week.

Inside Frankie I stuffed a fun size, glow in the dark Peanut M&M pack (just roll up the candy and it will fit!). The pupils for his eyes are the small circle shapes from the Monster Bash Enamel Shapes.

Of course the head is the Apple Builder punch but have you guessed where the "bolts" came from?

For Frankie's bolts I used the basket from the Hot Air Balloon punch - it was perfect! I have details on how I attached the bolts in the video below.

Here is the Tuesday Tutorial Facebook Live video where I walk through all of the projects. Hope you can join me next Tuesday at 7:30 CT for my next video - it will be super spooky!!

Halloween Wicked Wine Tag

Wicked fun project today - the perfect gift for your adult friends who love Halloween! For this Hallow-wine tag I have a free project sheet PDF below and a video tutorial too. This project is made with items from the brand new Stampin' Up! Holiday Catalog that is available starting today!

A new bundle called "Wonderfully Wicked" was perfect for this project. I used the sayings from Wonderfully Wicked stamp set to stamp the sentiments and the Wicked Dies to cut out the word Wicked and the spider.

The cute little bat punch is from a new set of 4 little punches called Every Season Punch Pack. In addition to the bat it comes with a maple leaf, a snowflake, and a heart punch. I used the Ornate Frames Dies to cut out the "Have a" greeting.

The Stylish Scroll Embossing Folder is wonderfully detailed and even though it is shown with the Halloween projects it is a very versatile design that I will be using on my non-Halloween projects as well. I also used the Monster Bash Enamel Shapes for the gray "dot" on the "i". The "Halloween" greeting was punched out with the Classic Label Punch.

This Pumpkin Wine was perfect for this project! It is made from pumpkin and has hints of cinnamon, nutmeg, and ginger. It is from a local Minnesota winery called Winehaven. Or you could use whatever wine you prefer or look for other Halloween themed wines (or ones with black or orange labels).

In this Facebook Live video I walk you through how to make this easy project!

Thank you SO much for stopping by! I appreciate you support so much! You can view / order the supplies used for this project by clicking on the pictures below. Have a wicked good time creating your own Hallow-wine tag!!

Simple and Stepped Up....

Simple and stepped up cards tonight with the Magnolia Lane Small Memories & More Card Pack!

The card pack comes with 10 double-sided predesigned 3" x 4" cards, 10 thick white blank notecards and envelopes. The finished size of the notecard is 3 1/2" x 5". This fun kit is not in the annual catalog - it's part of the Experience Creativity Projects that you can see on my website or by clicking here.

The image on the right is the finished notecard with the card attached (#simplestamping), I added a sentiment from the Magnolia Blooms stamp set, which is also not in the annual catalog, but part of the Experience Creativity products. The card on the left is my stepped up version which I made into a standard, full size card.

My customers who have the Good Morning Magnolia stamp set and coordinating products have been adding this lovely Magnolia Blooms set to their collection too - the fonts match and it will work with what they already have, yay!

Here is the same "stepped up" card made with the other design from the card pack. I stamped the sentiment on a scrap of whisper white and punched it out with the Timeless Label Punch.  The sentiment is popped up with a Dimensional. I embossed a 4 1/4" x 5 1/2" piece of Mint Macaron cardstock with the Eyelet Lace Embossing Folder and adhered the card to it. A little bow using the Mint Macaron Textile Ribbon and attached with a glue dot was the finishing touch!

I stamped the small bloom from the Magnolia Blooms stamp set in Soft Suede and added a bit of color with the Petal Pink Light Stampin' Blend and the Mint Macaron Dark.

The sentiment on the left is stamped in Mossy Meadow, the one on the right is stamped in Soft Suede, which one do you prefer?

In this short video from my weekly Tuesday Tutorials on my Facebook page I show you how to make these fun cards and give you lots of other options too! Visit my Facebook Page to see all of my past video tutorials.

Here is a close up of the simple version (#simplestamping), just stamp the greeting on the predesigned card, adhere it to the folded notecard and you are ready to go! You can get EVERYTHING YOU NEED to make this card by ordering the Magnolia Lane Cards Everything You Need Bundle! 

Here are all of the products you get in the Magnolia Lane Cards Bundle!

If you prefer larger cards but like the simplicity of the card pack, order a pack of the Magnolia Lane Large Specialty Memories & More Cards & Envelopes. These beautiful cards have white foil accents and come with pretty printed envelope liners. #simplestamping

Daisy Lane Sunflower Overlay Fun Fold Card

I'm excited to share this pretty sunflower card today - and it's a fun fold too! I have a short video for you and the dimensions below...

This patterned paper from the Pressed Petals Specialty Designer Paper looks SO MUCH like burlap fabric!! I created the large sunflower by stamping two of the large daisy image from the Daisy Lane stamp set in Crushed Curry ink on Crushed Curry cardstock. The center of the flower has been embossed with the Subtle Embossing Folder (hard to see that in the photo) and then punched out with the 1 3/8" scallop circle punch. I stamped the word "Smile" from the Daisy Lane stamp set in Early Espresso ink directly on the designer paper.

This card layout is called an Overlay Fun Fold and in this photo you can see how it opens. The benefit of this fun fold is that you can see some of the inside of the card when the card is closed.  I love to put fun things inside the card too - so there is a baby sunflower inside of this one...

The smaller sunflower inside the card is made using the Medium Daisy punch, and I used the leaf punch again but cut off one of the leaves. TIP: When adhering the front piece to the card base, line up the bottom edge of the front flap piece with the bottom edge of the card base. Adhere under the flap with Tear & Tape.

Here are the dimensions for this Overly Fun Fold card:

Card Base: 5 1/4" x 5 1/2", with the 5 1/4" side at the top of the scoring tool, score at 4 1/4"

Front Piece: 4" x 4"

Front Designer Paper Layer: 3" x 3 3/4"

Inside Layer: 4" x 5 1/4"

Designer Paper for the top of the card: 3/4" x 5 1/4"

Designer Paper for inside the card on each edge: 3/4" x 4"

Special thanks to fellow demonstrator Lisa Curcio for this overly fun fold idea! 

Here is the Facebook Live video showing how to make this card. In the video I also share a couple of other cards made with this same fold, a Gerbera Daisy card, and lots of other tips! To see all my past Facebook Live videos, visit by page here.

Creative Inking Blog Hop: Holiday Catalog Sneak Peek 2019

The Holiday Catalog is almost here! Check out our fun hope with a sneak peek at what is coming!!

I love, love, love this little Pine Tree Punch!

I paired it with a long time favorite embossing folder called Swirls and Curls. Just emboss some cardstock and punch out your tree - instant decorations! The beautiful ribbon has the words Merry Christmas already printed on it in a lovely shiny copper! So no need to get out the heat gun - love it!! I layered the tree on to a piece of the Copper Foil Paper that I had cut out with the Stitched Nested Label dies. Love that coppery shine!

The ribbon is adhered to a strip of cardstock and popped up on Dimensionals to add texture to the card.

This is my favorite type of card to make - simple but elegant! I can't hardly wait to show you more of the lovely Stampin' Up! Holiday Catalog products that are coming your way!!

Time to hop along for a sneak peek from BJ Peters!!

Or you can hop back to see what Sue Lehrer shared with us!

Here are the products that I used on this card. This first set of products are available to purchase now in the annual catalog:

 

This 2nd set of products will be available on September 4th in the new Holiday Catalog!

Sneak Peek: I'm Dreaming of a Pink Christmas?!

Swaps, swaps, swaps! One of the things I LOVE about being a Stampin' Up! demonstrator is being able to buy new products early AND to get to participate in card swaps with other demonstrators! This "non-traditional" Christmas card I created for a swap with fellow achievers of the Stampin' Up! Greek Isles Incentive Trip. I have a video and details on this card below!

As soon as I saw the new Pine Tree Punch from the upcoming Stampin' Up! Holiday Catalog (available to order from on September 4th, 2019) I knew I wanted to try a pink tree card - Petal Pink to the rescue! The greeting and matching die are from another a new bundle: Toile Christmas Stamp Set and the Christmas Cardinal Dies. All the other items from this card are in the Stampin' Up! 2019 - 2020 Annual Catalog.

I love, love, love punches and I used 3 on this card. The tree is punched out of the Bird Ballad Designer Series Paper. Of course I used the Twinkle Punch with Sparkle Glimmer Paper for the star on the tree and we already talked about the new Pine Tree Punch.  Can you guess which punch I used for the tree skirt / tree stand?

If you guessed the Cake Builder punch then yes!!  You are correct! I just snipped off the upper part of the cake plate and it fit the trunk perfectly!

I used another sentiment from the new Toile Christmas Stamp Set for the inside of the card - these banners are so elegant!

And speaking of elegant - the deep embossing from the Heirloom Frames Dies and 3D Embossing Folders is stunning!! See the video for tips with working with these dies and folders.

This is the Facebook Live video on how to create this card, it is one of my weekly free Tuesday Tutorials - hope you can join me next week on my Facebook Page for another fun project tutorial!

The first products listed below will be available to purchase on September 4th, 2019 in the Holiday Catalog. OR if you join my team you can get them NOW in your starter kit!

The following products that I used to make this card are available to purchase now in the Annual Catalog:

Cute! Cow's It Going Treat Box

I'm "Over The Moon" about this cute little cow box filled with Mini Cow Tales Candy! I have a video and a free project sheet pdf tutorial for you on this fun project!

Here is a close up of the top of the box with this adorable cow - so cute!! The Braided Linen Trim is a hidden gem from the catalog - makes the perfect rustic bow!

Here are all the images that come in this adorable set - I can't stop creating with this one! So many possibilities!

The box is made with the fantastic Perfect Parcel dies - you can see other boxes I made with this die here. This one is a bit different because...

...it has a window in it so you can see the cute candy inside!

I picked up the Mini Cow Tales at my local Dollar Tree store. I needed a larger quantity for my classes so I ordered a 2 lb. bag from Amazon. See the project sheet below for the link.

After the candy is gone there is a sweet message inside! I also added a 2 1/8" x 3 1/2" liner to the bottom of the box for extra support (the Pressed Petals Specialty Designer Paper is a lighter weight paper and needs the liner so the box is not flimsy). Sorry for the blurriness of the photo. The saying is "You're udderly fantastic", it's punched out with the Classic Label Punch and layered on the leftover woodgrain panel from cutting the window (hard to see in the photo).

I stamped the cow in the Tuxedo Black Momento pad and colored it with Stampin' Blends Alcohol Markers. See the video for tips on how to color this cutie!

You can watch the Facebook Live video of this project here.

One Layout = Four Simple But Striking Cards!

I have four fun cards for you today! All are made with the Path of Petals Stamp Set and matching Petal Label Dies but each card is made with a different Designer Series Paper! Dimensions for this fun card are below.

This layout works best using a bolder pattern on top with a more solid or neutral pattern on the bottom portion. For the first version I used gorgeous Pressed Petals Specialty Designer Series Paper and Blueberry Bushel cardstock and ink.  I chose the pretty pattern with the burlap and blue flowers for the top and the solid burlap for the bottom. The Sharing in Your Sorrow is one of the three greetings from the Path of Petals set that fits in the oval die from the Petal Labels Dies.

Another fun feature of this layout? You can see the lower pattern of paper on the inside of the card too! Love this wonderful inside sentiment from the Path of Petals stamp set!

This version uses the Woven Threads Designer Series Paper and the Pretty Peacock cardstock and ink!  Tuesday Tip: Place a piece of Tear & Tape on the front of the card to adhere the label. The Tear & Tape is a very strong bond and will keep your label in place!

The inside sentiment (also from Path of Petals as is the "thank you" from the front), is the perfect sentiment!


The next two versions both feature the Magnolia Lane Designer Series Paper on Petal Pink cardstock. For this version I used Mossy Meadow ink for the outside...

...and for the inside greeting.

This version shows the third pair of greetings from the Path of Petals stamp set and I used the Momento Tuxedo Black ink pad to match the black background on the floral paper. I love a stamp set that has matching inside and outside greetings! That way I don't need to search for "just the right greeting" - it is already in the set!

Speaking of "just the right greeting" - this one is perfect for this wedding card!

Here is a short video with some tips on how to make this fun layout.

Dimensions:

Card Base: 4 1/4" x 9 3/4", scored at 5 1/2"

Designer Series Paper for the front (bolder pattern): 4" x 4"

Designer Series Paper for the inside/lower portion (subtle pattern): 1 1/4" x 4"

Inside layer for inside sentiment: 4" x 4"

Thank you so much for stopping by my blog today! I just love this layout for quick and easy cards! Pick up your Path of Petals bundle here!
