2 Weeks Until Christmas

There are only TWO weeks left until Christmas!  How did that happen?!  There are still great deals to be had - but the guaranteed shipping date has passed for Christmas delivery (from Stampin' Up!)   

Please check out all the specials in my online store including LAST CHANCE ITEMS.  If you spend $75 on a single order (now through Dec 12) you will get FREE SHIPPING.

PLUS you will earn the opportunity to buy the PRODUCT OF THE MONTH for December for just $5, if you haven't already purchased it.

Hopefully, your Christmas cards are made and in the mail - or if you're like me you  are furiously finishing them up!

I thought I'd share a cute project - that would make a nice little stocking stuffer - or small thank you gift.  Watch the video below to see how to make these Post-it Note holders.  I made quite a few of these this summer - to give to my friends at the Stampin' Up! Convention.

Here is one similiar to the one I made in the video.

Here is another one that I made - and you can see the inside as well.

Please contact me if you have any questions!

Christmas Countdown

Can you believe that it will be Christmas in only 10 short weeks!  I had to check my calendar twice to make sure I had that right!  So for the next 10 Fridays - I will be helping you find just the perfect gifts for the people on your shopping list.  Today, it is the CHRISTMAS COUNTDOWN PROJECT KIT.

This is a great kit for you to buy now, make with your family, then use it to count down the days until Christmas during the month of December.  The 25 boxes are approximately 2x2x2 inches - and can be filled with little treats or other small goodies.  The contents of the kit are shown below - all you need to complete this project is adhesive!

Below is the same kit - made using one sheet from TRIMMING THE TOWN Designer Series Paper. What a cute home decor project this is!  You could put small paper strips inside each box- with a fun family activity to do each day.  Or try putting a joke or riddle in each box.  Or even a household chore that needs to be completed before the holidays arrive!  So many ideas......

 

You could use this project kit to make a countdown for any special occasion including birthdays, weddings, or any holiday - including Halloween.

Here's another way to use this project kit - as storage for small items including jewerely or other small items that don't currently have a place of their own.  You could cover the front of the boxes  with any patterned paper to match your home decor.  The box below was decorated using the IN GOOD TASTE Designer Series Paper, which is currently on sale during the month of October 2020.

What a fun project this would be for just about anyone on your list.  The front and back of the boxes can both be decorated - and double the use of this kit!  CLICK HERE NOW to add this kit to your shopping bag!

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.

July Stamp Club Card #1

This was the first card we made at my July stamp club classes.  It is called a Cascading Card.  I watched several videos on You Tube, then used the best ideas from each of them to share with my club members.  The only challenging part of this card is being careful to measure and cut accurately.  Everyone agreed that using Stampin' Up!'s Stampin' Trimmer made things a whole lot easier!  But I guarantee you that no one who receives this cute card will even notice if the cuts are not perfect!

We used Stampin' Up! 12x12 card stock from the Brights collection.  The candles were made using Designer Series Paper from the Brights DSP Stack.  The flame is punched from the bird builder punch - it's the bird's wing!

Below is how we finished the back of the card.  (This is a retired greeting - but was a cute fit for this card!)

Club members who made this card - please leave a comment to tell me what you thought of this card.  Will you make another one?  Will you give the one you made away?! 

Other comments are also welcomed!

I am sending a card like this to two friends who have a birthday this month.  I hope they enjoy it!

Club members: the current hostess code is 7MAZH4DM

Cute Cake Box

My stamp club meetings are happening this weekend and this is the first project we will be making.

It is a cute box, in the shape of a piece of cake.  I think the ribbon around the middle looks like a layer of frosting.  It is attached loosely and slides off so that you can open the back of the box and get to whatever goodies you decide to put inside.  Here is what the box looks like when it is open.

I had to try making a box like this after viewing THIS YOU TUBE VIDEO.

CONTACT ME to learn how YOU can get in on the fun and make a cute project like this.
