Mystery Stamping

At a Stampin' Up! team meeting earlier this month - we did some mystery stamping.  Everyone was given the first clue before the Zoom meeting - which was a list of supplies we needed to make a card.  Then at the zoom meeting - we were giving directions one step at a time to complete the card - but we didn't have a sample card to look at.  So everyone interpreted the directions in a slightly different way.

It was so much fun - that we did it again the following week so that more people could join the fun.  The card above was the card I made at the first meeting.  The card below was the one I made at the second meeting.  The funny thing is - I cut the Designer Series Paper wrong for both cards - both are different sizes and neither is the size that was given in the first clue!  I'm usually so good with math - guess I was just in a hurry!

Here is the first clue (which gives you the measurements for making this card.)

I didn't post these cards right away because both papers were backordered for awhile.  But it looks like they are in stock now - so I may feature them again in future posts when I show you the other projects I made using the papers and stamp sets.

CLICK HERE to visit my Stampin' Up! website where you can shop, see my calendar of events, or even join my team!  There is a great joining special beginning September 1 that you won't want to miss!

Seaside Notions - Quick & Easy

Monday night was my Seaside Notions stamp class on Zoom.  You can see the cards we made by CLICKING HERE.  In addition - everyone also made two fun fold birthday cards that you can see HERE.

I made the cards in the photo above - using the same stamp set and ink colors that we used in class.  If you would like the supplies to make these cards - you can purchase the card kits for only $10.  You will get the card bases, envelopes, card stock pieces, and ribbon/twine to make the 6 cards in the photo.  In addition, you will receive a written tutorial with measurements and step by step directions  You will need the Seaside Notions stamp set (or a set with similar sized images), stamp pads, blocks, and adhesive to complete the cards.

Below are two more cards that I made using the same stamp set,  They can be made using any color of ink and coordiniating patterned paper.  These cards are made using Calypso Coral products.  The Seaside Notions stamp set does NOT have coordinating dies -but the images are pretty easy to cut out using Stampin' Up!'s paper snips.

CONTACT ME if you would like me to send you a Pay Pal invoice or to make other arrangements for payment.

Easy Treat Box

I'm back with a new video for you.  Watch to see how easy it is to make this cute Tall & Skinny treat  box.  It uses just one sheet of 6x6 patterned paper.  As you might be able to tell - I made these boxes using the 2019 - 2021 In Color Designer Series Paper Assortment.  The patterns are a little different in the current Annual Catalog - but the paper is available in all of the Stampin' Up! color assortments.

I always like to put candy in my treat boxes, but these could hold a small hand sanitizer, lip stick, etc.  The box is 6 inches tall, 2 inches wide, and 3/4 inch deep.

Supplies used to make the box:

• 6x6 piece of Designer Series Paper
• 2x3 piece of coordinating card stock
• Linen thread, Baker’s twine, or narrow ribbon
• Tag Topper punch
• Adhesive (something strong enough to hold the box together)
• Stamps/ink/punches of your choice to decorate (I used Daisy Lane stamp set and Medium Daisy punch)

Basic  Directions:

• Score the Designer Series Paper at 2, 2 ¾ , 4 ¾ , 5 ½   Turn and score at ¾

• Fold along all score lines; cut from the bottom along all score lines - up to the other score line; cut away the smallest flap

• Add adhesive to the RIGHT SIDE of the box along the narrow flap and along the bottom  flap that is the farthest away; adhere the box together.  (It will not matter if your scoring resulted in the smallest flap being on the opposite side as the one in the photo.)

• Lightly pinch the top of the box together

• Score the 2x3 piece of card stock in half at 1 ½  and punch one of the 2” ends using a Tag Topper punch

• Glue the card stock piece to the top of the box and having the punched end flap over the opening of the box.

• Thread ribbon or twine through the opening in flap and around the box and tie in a bow on the front of the box.

• Decorate box as desired.

I also have a PDF tutorial for this project.  Just EMAIL ME if you would like a copy, or leave a message below.

If you are an online customer - you will notice a brand NEW shopping experience, starting today at 9am Eastern Time.  Stampin' Up! has created a new online store, with lots of new features and streamlined ordering.  One of the best features (in my opinion) is that the new online store will work better when using a phone or tablet to place an order.   Hopefully you will get to my online store BY CLICKING HERE.

If you placed an order in July of $50 or more - you earned a $5 coupon that you can redeem beginning today!  A coupon code was emailed to you immediately after placing your order.  Hopefully, you flagged that email because Stampin' Up! is not able to resend coupon codes.  If you want me to place your order - I can add your coupon code for you.

One of the most exciting pieces of NEWs is that the new Stampin' Cut and Emboss machine is available for demonstrators to pre-order, beginning today.  Customers will be able to purchase one in September.  Only the large model will be available at this time.  I'll let you know as soon as I find out when the mini machine will be available for purchase.  If you want to get your hands on this NOW - just join my team!  You can do that by CLICKING HERE.
