3D Projects

This adorable little gift box is teeny tiny.  It’s only about 1″ square and fits one Hershey Kiss perfectly.

Yes, this is another find from Pinterest.  How did we ever survive without Pinterest?  🙂

And yes….I’m giving you a link to someone else’s blog so they can show you how to make this adorable little box.  As I mentioned yesterday one of my goals in the near future is to shoot and edit a video for you.  Someday…

This box is really quite easy.  You make it with the Envelope Punch Board!  A few punches and score lines and you have this fun little box.   Once again I used the Botanical Gardens Designer Series Paper.  It’s my favorite paper in the Occasions Catalog.

What’s your favorite designer paper in the Occasions Catalog?  Let me know!

Have a great day!  Take care and Happy Stamping!

One of the fun parts of getting ready for On Stage (convention) events is making little gifts for my friends who I’ll be hanging out with.  Sometimes it’s a little stressful trying to come up with the idea but making them is always fun.  I actually don’t come up with my own ideas….I get on that wonderful website Pinterest and search until I find something cute to make.  🙂

The first little gift I made was this little purse that one yummy Ghirardelli chocolate candy fits in.  Yep.  Just one.

I used the gorgeous Botanical Gardens Designer Series Paper on the purses and then of course had to die-cut a fun little flower with the Botanical Builder Framelits to finish it off.

The outside of my cute little purse is about 3 1/2″ x 2 1/4″.  I started with a piece of paper that was 5″ x 4″.

Here’s the link to the website and video where I learned how to make this little treat purse.  One of these days I will learn to make my own video and not have to copy others!  Ha!  Honest….one of these days…..  🙂

Have a great day!  Take care and Happy Stamping!

Have you checked out this kit in the Occasions Catalog (pg. 33) yet?  You really need to.  I had purchased it way back in January and of course it just sat around in my craft room for the longest time.  I finally decided to put it together during classes last week and I am so glad I did!  It’s so fun!

The “cards” are easy to make and quite fun.  In the kit you get the little clip board easel and all of the paper products and accessories to make the “cards”.  You do need the Enjoy the Little Things stamp set (#140958 $17) as well as all of the inks and your own adhesive.  That’s why it’s the perfect project to make in a class with your demonstrator.  (My class is in May!)

In the second picture here you can see all 13 of the cute “cards” that you make with the kit.

One of the great things about the kit is that all of the die-cut pieces are number by which card they go on (see instruction sheet).  This really made it easy to put things together.  I did take the organization one step further.  Before I started I placed all the pieces and parts for each card in their own cello bag.  That way I wasn’t shuffling through all the pieces every time I was looking for a specific one.  OK….I started the process with the shuffling and the got fed up with it so I organized into the cello bags.  Once I did that putting the pieces together was EASY!  There’s a color picture of each “card” in the directions so you just have to copy what you see!  There are simple written instructions for each card too.

Check out Stampin’ Up!’s video to see how easy it really is!

I would really recommend getting this kit.  It’s so fun and cute!  I can’t wait to come up with some of my own “cards” to add to the mix!

Have a great day!  Take care and Happy Stamping!

Merry Christmas!  I know you’re thinking that you’ve seen this before…..you haven’t.  You’ve seen the card that gave me the inspiration for this but not this actual project.

I just had to smile when I finished this.  It turned out just like I had hoped and if I must say….it’s GORGEOUS!  Yep.  It’s simply stunning up close and personal.  The Gold Foil makes it shine and the Black Glimmer Paper makes it shimmer.  What more can you want for Christmas than shimmer and shine?  🙂

Don’t forget the Dazzling Details on the trees and the “snow bank”!   I make this for a gift but I’m definitely going to have to make one for myself now that I’ve seen the finished results.

If you’re thinking of recreating this gorgeous framed piece you’re going to want to place an order prior to January 5th to get the Black Glimmer Paper, the Wonderland stamp set and the 1/8″ Gold Ribbon.  All three of these items are going away with the end of the Holiday Catalog.  You can check out all of the items I used on this card (other than the frame) here.

Christmas Blessings!  I wish you all peace and happiness in 2016.  Take care!

Tell me that this penguin isn’t adorable!  I dare you!  Ha!  TSC!  Too Stinkin’ Cute!

These little treat holders are made using the Ornate Tag Topper Punch.  They are the perfect size for Ghirardelli Minis.  I have the Peppermint Bark candies in my treat holders.  Perfect for the Christmas table.

Start with a piece of card stock that’s 2″ x 7 1/8″.  Score at 3 3/8″ and 3 5/8″.  Punch each end with the Ornate Tag Topper Punch.  Fold along the score lines, run card stock through the Big Shot, add your ribbon and decorate.  That’s it!  I used a Mini Glue Dot to hold the candy to the back of the treat holder.

You can decorate these any way you’d like for any occasion!  The snowman would have looked cute on these but like I mentioned yesterday, I’m rather partial to this little penguin.  🙂

Now that I have treat holders for the Christmas table I need to figure out what to make for Christmas dinner.  Actually, we’re heading over to the neighbor’s for dinner.  I’m bringing a potato dish and dessert.  Now I just need to peruse Pinterest and find the perfect recipes.   Maybe I’ll look for a festive cocktail recipe too….

Have a great day!  Take care and Happy Stamping!

Another gift card holder!  I actually saw this gift card holder way back in July.  My friend Jan gave those in our group attending convention one of these.  Aren’t they cute?  All of the items used on it are from the main Idea Book and Catalog.

The adorable little plaid stamped tree is from the new Lots of Joy stamp set although you could use any of the tree images in the Festival of Trees stamp set which was originally found in last year’s Holiday Catalog.  The little sentiment is from Festival of Trees also.

This little gift card holder isn’t too difficult.  Start with a piece of card stock that’s 10″ x 2 3/4″.  Score it at 2 1/2″ and 6 1/2″.  After that you just fold and decorate.  Most of the decorating is on your belly band.  I love projects that aren’t too complicated.

Well, do you have all of your shopping done?  Nope, be neither.  I should be able to finish the out of town gifts tomorrow.  I do love Amazon Prime!  🙂  However I am still at a loss on what to get my husband and my younger son.  It doesn’t help that hubby has a birthday four days after Christmas.  Well, I have a little over a week, right?

Good luck with the rest of your holiday shopping!  Take care and Happy Stamping!

Did you notice how I didn’t say Classy WINE Bottle Tag in the title?  That’s because this project can be so much more!  You can use it for any type of bottle.  How about fancy home-made flavored oils?  Yep.  There are many types of bottles out there so don’t be limited .

I had to use the word classy just because of the fancy black and gold color scheme.  Isn’t it sharp looking?  This was one of those projects that when I finished it I just sat back and smiled.  It made me happy that it turned out so well!

I started with the Gold Foil sheet then decorated it with the fabulous Winter Wonderland Vellum and some Basic Black card stock.  The vellum is GORGEOUS!  Of course with vellum you have to figure out how to adhere it so that the glue doesn’t show.  Well…I had a brain storm!  🙂

I first adhered my Candy Dots to the vellum with Mini Glue Dots to make sure they didn’t come off.  Then on the back side of the vellum I used a dot of the Fine Tip Glue Pen behind each Candy Dot to adhere the vellum to the card stock.

If you don’t want your bottle tag to be holiday related you could always use the “cheers” or the “thanks” from the Greetings Thinlits.

Such a cute project.  Now I just need to figure out who might need a bottle of wine or flavored oil so that I can give one of these great tags away!

Have a great day!  Take care and Happy Stamping!
