Swirly Thank you!

Hi Everyone! It's official, today is the last day of school here! Let the summer vacation begin!! I hope you all have crafty plans for the summer! (This year during the summer I will only be posting 3 days a week instead of 6. I hope you all understand!)

Today is all about thanking the wonderful teacher's out there that do such a great job with our kids!

Not sure about you, but Swirly Bird is one of those stamp sets that are completely out of my comfort zone. Because you mostly random stamp which is not my thing! Getting better at it though!

I completely cased this one! Yep, I did! 

See those small gold dots?? There are embossed! Cool or what!? I made them using this really cool Versa Marker that one of my customers gave me for Christmas! Thank you!

We made this teacher an Aromatherapy bracelet too! 

As you can see I tried to make the card have the same colours as the bracelet. I think it worked out great! 

Of course this pretty little bracelet needed a pretty little package. It was supposed to be the same package as the other Aromatherapy Bracelet that we made for another teacher, however I forgot one score line. So, it turned into this!

I stamped all over the Whisper White cardstock. I changed it a little from the card.

It's a triangle box with no sides! Pretty cool eh? I love how everything turned out!

Confession... I completely forgot to take a picture of the card and the package together! Can't now because the teacher already has their gift! Oops!

Congratulations!

Hi Everyone! Today's card is a new one for me. I have been trying to step out of my comfort zone and try new things. For some of you this isn't new and not hard at all. But, for me it was very challenging. 

I thought I had to have the images completely straight in order for it to look nice, however I think it looks great. What do think? Can you even tell that I did the background words?

I started stamping the sentiment in the middle and worked my way up, then I worked my way down. I have no idea if that is the way to do it, but it worked for me!

There are 2 dimensionals (on top of one another) under the middle star, while the outside two have just one.

Since this is a Graduation card, I needed a little gift bag to go with it. You can find the instructions here.

 You would be surprised a what you can actually fit in that cute little treat bag!

Here they are all matchy matchy! What do you think?

Paper:

For You Treat Bag

Hi Everyone! Today I have a little project to share with you using the Mini Treat Bag Thinlits. 

Our daughter was going to a Birthday Party and we gave the Birthday Girl a gift card. I didn't want to give it in the usual way. It needed something different, something unique! (Love my job!!)

The Gift Card was placed on a separate piece of Cardstock, then we just simply put it in the bag!

What do you think? I heard she liked it!

Supplies:

Paper:
Love Blossoms DSP (retired)

Stocking Stuffers!

Hi Everyone!  Around here we all contribute to putting stuff into each others stockings. That way the expense isn't all on one person. I found these little chocolate hockey pucks at our local Bluk Barn. I knew my dad would just love them!

I put them in a cellophane bag and tied it with 1/8" Striped Ribbon from the Holiday Catalog. Of course it needed some kind of tag. I got out my old, but loved stamp set Too Terrific Tags (retired).

I love how you can take something so ordinary as little chocolates, and dress them up to look extra yummy!

Supplies:

Paper: Whisper White, Garden Green

Inks: Real Red

Stamps: Too Terrific Tags (retired)

Accessories: Cellophane bag, 1/8" Striped Ribbon, Tag Punch (retired), Bakers Twine

1x8 Halloween Treat bags!

Hi Everyone! Today I have another Halloween project for you. Just something really cute! 1x8 cellophane bags (you can order them through Stampin' Up!) filled with Halloween treats. Aren't they cute! You can make these for all sorts of occasions: Valentine's Day, Christmas, Loot bags, Halloween, Easter, etc. 

I filled them with the same amount of candy (yes, my kids would them count to make sure no one was getting more than the other!). I stamped my greeting with Black Momento onto Tangelo Twist and then punched them out using the Washi Label punch. Add a bow and they are done!

Thanks for stopping by, let me know if you have any questions!

Mini Treat Bag for Halloween

Hi Everyone! Today I have for you a little Halloween project. Don't worry it's not too complicated or too easy. Just perfect actually! 

I knew I wanted to use the Mini Treat Bag Thinlit for some Halloween goodies for my family. We don't do too much here for Halloween. So this is the perfect size treat for them. 

While you have the Mini Treat Bag Thinlit on your paper, I added a circle framelit because I wanted to make the front a pumpkin. That way you don't have to run it through twice. Then I made a circle frame using 2 Circle Framelits (in Pumpkin Pie) and attached it with adhesive. The stem is actually from the Wonderful Wreath Framelit in Baked Brown Sugar. The leaf is from Quickcuts in Garden Green.

I put my goodies in a cellophane bag and added some black ribbon. Hope you like it!

Thanks for stopping by, if you have any questions let me know!

Happy Stamping!

Disclaimer: I LOVE all of Stampin' Up!'s stuff, but I already have some Halloween stamp sets and since we really don't go all out for Halloween I decided to spend my money on other things in the catalog. Plus I have a lot of things that are retired that I need to use up, which also gives you ideas on how to use up the products that you already have too.
