Fun With Paper Pumpkin

Hi! Today I have an alternative project for the July 2018 Paper Pumpkin kit! Thanks to Nancy for the idea that you’ll find here.

I love how these turned out!

Paper Pumpkin, July 2018, Stampin' Up!, SU!

The kit makes 3×3 note cards – which are very cute – but I don’t typically use that size, so I took my supplies and am making Post-It Note holders that would be sure to brighten anyone’s desk!

Here are the directions:

Base: Cut a piece of cardstock 3 1/2″ x 8 1/2″ and score at 2″, 4″ and 4 1/2″
Easel Front: Piece of Whisper White cardstock 3 1/2″ x 4″
Plaid backgrounds – Cut the tissue paper from the kit 3 1/2″ x 4″ – need 2
Cut the 3×3 note cards in half (need 1 per holder)

Fold on all score lines for the base. Use one of the plaid pieces and attach to the inside (where there are no folds). Attach the second plaid piece to the 3 1/2″ x 4″ piece of Whisper White cardstock. Attach this piece to the bottom only of the front of the base (the 3 1/2″ x 2″ fold section) It is easiest to apply your adhesive to the front flap of the base so that you do not go above the score line.

Here is a side view of the holder so you can see how the easel looks and how the plaid panel is attached at just the bottom:

July2018PP, Paper Pumpkin, Stampin' Up!, SU!, Post-It Note Holders

Use Tear and Tape and to adhere the 3″ x 3″ sticky pad to the inside of the base.

Stamp the border from the Paper Pumpkin stamp set in Soft Suede ink around all 4 sides of the Crumb Cake piece. Adhere one of the Vellum plaid pieces to the top. Adhere the fruit and leaf die-cuts. Wrap ribbon around the panel. Stamp a sentiment in Soft Suede ink to one of the Whisper White labels in the kit. Attach with dimensionals. Attach this entire panel to the plaid front piece using dimensionals.

Here is a front view:

A Little Backpack

Hi! Today I am sharing the little treat bags I made for On Stage friends. I had so much fun putting them together!

3D,, Backpacks, Gift Bag Punch Board, Stampin' Up!, SU!,

These little bags are made using the Gift Bag Punch board – a medium sized bag. A little front pocket was made using the Delightful Daisy Designer Series Paper. The top flaps are a separate piece from the bag. I didn’t snag a picture of the back, but there are two ribbons that act as straps for back of the little backpack.

Here is what was inside these little bags:

Backpacks, Gift Bag Punch Board, Stampin' Up!, SU!

A few little treats, post-it flags, and a mini pen. I think everyone liked them!

Here are the dimensions for the bag:

6″ x 11″ piece of Cardstock – use the Gift Bag Punch board to make a medium bag. (Do not assemble yet)

Use the 1/8″ hole punch to punch two holes on the back of the bag above the bottom flap.

Cut two pieces of ribbon 7″ long and knot one end. Run these through the holes so the knot will be on the inside of the bag.

Assemble the box.

For the top flap, cut a piece of cardstock 3 1/8″ x 2 1/2″. Score at 1 1/2″ on the 2 1/2″ side.

Punch two holes on the score line 1″ in from each end. Use a 3″ piece of ribbon through these two holes to create the handle on the top. Adhere ends down with Tear & Tape to the smaller section created by the score line.

Use the gift bag punch board to just punch the two ends of the cardstock to create the flap.

Stamp your sentiment on the flap

Punch a hole in the middle of the 1″ side created by the score line for the two ribbons to fit through.

Adhere these two ends down using Tear & Tape.

Attach this 1″ section to the back of the bag to adhere the flap.

For the front pocket, cut a piece of Designer Series Paper 4″ x 2 3/4″. Score the 4″ side at 1/4″, 1/2″, 3/4″ 3 1/4″, 3 1/2″ and 3 3/4″. Score the 2 3/4″ side at 1/4″ , 1/2″ and 3/4″. Cut off the two corners where the score lines intersect. Fold score lines mountain, valley, mountain and use Mono Multi Glue to attach the three sides to the front of the bag.

For the flap, cut a piece of cardstock at 2 1/2″ x 1 1/4″. Score the 1 1/4″ at 3/4″. Round the corners on the front and use Tear & Tape to attach the little flap to the front of the bag with the fold over the little pocket.

Use small pieces of Velcro to hold the two flaps down.

Don’t forget, the retirement list is out! Items are starting to sell out – so don’t delay in getting those orders in – I’d hate for you to not get what you want!

Spring Fling Blog Hop

Hi! Welcome to the Team Stamp It Spring Fling Blog Hop! I am happy to share with you my Spring creation using the You’re Inspiring Stamp Set from the Occasions Catalog!

For my project, I created this card set complete with box and 4 cards and envelopes.

Cards, Spring, Easter, You're Inspiring, Stampin' Up!, SU!

For the cards, I stamped the daffodils on a piece of 2 1/2″ x 3″ piece of Thick Whisper White using Memento Tuxedo Black ink. These were colored with Daffodil Delight and Old Olive Stampin’ Blends markers. The corners were rounded using the Corner Rounder on the Envelope Punch Board. Black Baker’s Twine was tied around the bottom of the panel.

This was mounted on the leaf print pattern from the Daisy Delight Designer Series Paper pack that is 2 7/8″ x 3 3/8″ with the corners rounded.

The Base of the card is Thick Whisper White 4 1/4″ x 11″ scored at 5 1/2″ and folded with a bone folder. The sentiment is stamped in the lower right corner in Memento Tuxedo Black ink.

Cards, Spring, Easter, Birthday, You're Inspiring, Stamipin' Up!, SU!

I did 2 of each sentiment. I think I prefer the longer bow on the birthday card.

Now the box.

To make the box top:

Cut a piece of Thick Whisper White 7 1/2″ x 8 1/2″.
Score at 1 1/4″ and 7 1/4″ on the 8 1/2″ side.
Rotate 90 degrees and score at 3 1/8″ and 4 3/8″ on the 7 1/2″ side.
Cut on the 3 1/8″ and 4 3/8″ score lines on the 7 1/2″ side to form tabs.
Stamp the front panel with the Daffodils in Memento Black Ink.
Color with Daffodil Delight and Old Olive Stampin’ Blends.
Fold on all score lines.
Adhere the tabs to the back panel using Tear & Tape.
Place Tear & Tape on the front tabs and adhere to the back tabs to make lid.

For the Bottom:

Cut a piece of Old Olive Card Stock 8 3/8″ x 9″.
Score at 1 1/4″ and 7 1/8″ on the 8 3/8″ side.
Rotate 90 degrees and score at 3 and 4 1/4″ on the 9″ side.
Cut on the 3 and 4 1/4″ score lines to the score lines on both sides to form tabs.
Use Tear & Tape to adhere tab to back (longer panel).
Use Tear & Tape to adhere the front tabs (short panel) to the back tabs.
Use Paper Snips to cut at an angle the side tabs from the front panel to the back panel.
Place lid on top.

I love how this project turned out! What do you think?

You’re the Best

Hi! How are you today? I’ll be busy selling Girl Scout Cookies with my daughter this morning and then at dress rehearsal for their competition dance team this afternoon. I thought today I’d share with you the project attendees made at my Stampaversary party last Saturday.

Card Set, Box, Lots to Love, Labels to Love, Stampin' Up!, SU!

This idea came from fellow demonstrator, Mary Bush. The box is made using the Lots to Love Box Framelits and holds 4 of the new Narrow Note Cards and Envelopes. The Designer Series Paper is from the Delightful Daisy Designer Series Paper pack. The colors are Basic Gray and White. The sentiment is from Label Me Pretty and the coordinating punch found in the Annual Catalog. I added Rhinestones to the sides of the labels for a little bling. These are quick and easy to make if you are looking for a little gift for someone special.

Lots of Love – Stamp It Blog Hop

Hi! Welcome to the Team Stamp It Valentine’s Day Blog Hop! Today is all about the love! My project features the Painted with Love Suite.

Painted With Love, Valentines, Hearts, Stampin' Up!, SU!, StampItBlogHop

I am so happy with how my box and card turned out! The box uses the Lots to Love Box Framelits! So cool to get multiple projects from one die set! The Designer paper for both projects is from the Painted with Love Specialty Paper – I love the gold foil touch to this paper! My colors for both projects are Melon Mambo, Rich Razzleberry and Gold Foil.

For the card, I added a Basic Black mat behind the Designer Paper- I felt it helped make the card pop. I used both the Layering Squares and Stitched Shapes Framelits to create the frame behind the heart. While it is a little hard to see, there is gold thread behind the frame. I wound the thread loosely around my spread fingers a few times then twisted it to make an 8 and taped it to the center of the card. The frame is popped up with mini dimensionals. I embossed the heart with one of the Petal Pair TIEFs. The sentiment for the card is stamped in Melon Mambo ink. I added two metallic enamel hearts to match the box.

Now, for the box! The box itself is made using the Lots to Love Box Framelits.

Die cut 4 of the sides, remove the side tabs from 2 of them and then score 2″ from the bottom (the flat end) for each piece.

Next, remove the two little top tabs and the bottom tabs below your 2″ scoreline on the two pieces that still have tabs.

Place Tear & Tape on the back side of the remaining tabs:

Adhere tabs to side pieces and attach together:

Fold in the middle to attach the last tab to form the box. Use Tear & Tape seal the bottom flaps.

For the sides, use Designer Series Paper mats that are 2 3/4 x 2 3/4″ square.

For the top, I used the 3rd largest Oval Framelit from the Layering Ovals bundle and cut in half to cover two of the top flaps. You will also need a 2 3/4 x 1/2″ strip to cover the space between the flap score lines.

Fold in the top flaps like this:

Decorate as desired!

A Little Treat Pouch

Hi! Today I have a little treat pouch, also called a self-closing bag, for you! This is another of the gifts that we made at the Gifts class earlier this month.

Treat Pouch, 3D, Gift, Merry Little Labels, Stampin' Up!, SU!

This features the Merry Little Label bundle in the Holiday Catalog. This bundle, and the stamp set, are retiring on Jan 2nd. If you haven’t gotten yours yet, just click on the product below to be taken to my store so you can order it before it is gone.

I used the Be Merry Designer Series Paper in the Annual Catalog for my pouch. The directions to make this are as follows:

Large Box: (fits 5 Lindt Truffles)

Designer Series Paper 6 x 8 1/2″

Score at 1″ and 5″ on the 6″ side.
Score at 4″ and 8″ on the 8 1/2″ side.
Cut off the 1/2″ x 1″ corners and angle cut the center tab.
Cut at 4″ score line to the 1″ score lines on the top and bottom.
Cut on one side only (tab will be on your right) at 2″ and 6″ to the 1″ score line”
Place the paper on top of the pierce mat.
Using a stylus and a ruler, score a diagonal line from the left hand side of the paper at the 5″ score line to the 2″ cut line on top and from the 2″ cut line to the 4″ cut line on the bottom.
Then make diagonal scores from the bottom 4″ cut line to the top 6″ cut line and from the top 6″ cut line to the bottom 8″ score line (right edge by tab).
See picture below – the score lines are dotted, the cut lines are solid.
Fold on all score lines.
Use Tear and Tape on the tab and fold on 4″ score line to adhere the tab in place.
Use tear and tape on two opposite tabs to form the bottom of the box.
Decorate as desired.

Once you have made a few, they go pretty quick and are a great little treat for the postman, neighbor, co-worker or friend. If you are hosting Christmas dinner, you could even make one for each place setting.

A Quick Gift Idea

Hi! Today I am sharing a quick gift idea if you are like me, and haven’t finished those gifts for teachers, neighbors, family members and friends.

Card Set, Floral, Stampin' Up!, Floral Phrases, SU!

This is one of the projects attendees made at the Gift Class last week. They are very quick and easy.

Cut Basic Black card stock at 4 1/4″ x 11″. Score at 5 1/2″ and fold.
Cut Whisper White 4″ x 5 1/4″ and adhere to the inside.
Cut Lemon Lime Twist, Berry Burst and Powder Pink card stock at 4 x 5 1/4″.
Stamp sentiment across the bottom – this one is from the Floral Phrases coordinating stamp set.
Run these panels through the Big Shot with the Details Floral thinlets. Use the Big Shot brush and foam pad to remove the little pieces.
Adhere panels to front of cards.

We did 2 of each color for a total of 6 cards. The sentiment on the second set was from the Dragonfly Dreams “To a wonderful friend….” These were then boxed with 6 envelopes in the clear card cases found in the Holiday Catalog.

If you need to make multiple sets, cut all your card stock, stamp your sentiments, then die cut. Adhere all your layers and package with envelopes.

I am off to The Nutcracker with my daughters – they only have 3 shows left this weekend. Hard to believe we are at our final weekend already. I’ll show you what we made for the cast members in a future post.

A Snowman Treat

Hi! Today I have an adorable little snowman to share with you. We will be making these at tomorrow night’s Gifts Class! I am super excited for my last class of the year!

Christmas, Gift Bag, Snowman, Gift Bag Punch Board, Punches, Stampin' Up!, SU!

Isn’t he just adorable? The box is made with the Thick Whisper White card stock and the Gift Bag punch board. I did a small size – and started with a 4 1/4″ x 10″ piece and followed the directions on the punch board for making the small board. I did not punch the holes – as I was not planning on adding handles.

The mouth is punched from the Cookie Cutter builder punch and eyes are punched with the 1/2″ circle punches. The nose was hand cut from Pumpkin Pie card stock. A White Chalk Marker was used for the eyes.

The hat itself uses two retired punches. The holly on the hat is created with the Holly Builder punch. Watercolor pencils were used to draw the lines on the leaves and on the nose. A piece of Real Red cardstock was used for the band on the hat.

Here are the contents in the bag:

Gifts, Christmas, Treat Holder, Gift Bag Punch Board, Punches, Stampin' Up!, SU!

A pack of tissues, a lip balm and a mini hand sanitizer. This would make a cute gift for coworkers and neighbors or even kids. They are pretty quick to make as well. You could also switch out the personal care items and fill with chocolates or a few coffee pods and a gift card.

If you don’t have the punches for the face, you could stamp a face using the Work of Art stamp set similar to what is seen on this card.

I hope you enjoyed today’s post! Leave a comment if you did! I’d love to hear from you!
