3D Projects

We made this fun and easy project at my Mini Stamp Camp earlier in the month.  It’s a magnetic board.

To make one of these easy projects you need a 5″ x 7″ picture frame, a 5 ” x 7″ piece of aluminum flashing, a 5 ” x 7″ piece of designer paper and two pieces of ribbon, 8″ and 4″.

Adhere the long ribbon to the designer paper and then layer the paper, the flashing, the glass from the picture from (behind the flashing) and the back of the picture frame.  Wrap the short piece of ribbon around the first and tie.  That’s it.  The frame is done!

Now you need the magnets!  These are simple too.  You need a designer brad, a small circle of card stock ,a large pearl and some small magnets!  I used the circle punch from the Itty Bitty Punch Pack to punch out my circles and they fit perfectly!

The great thing about this project is that you can change the look simply by changing the designer paper!  How fun is that?!

Have a great day!  Take care and Happy Stamping!

It’s another fun kit from Stampin’ Up!!  Here’s what they have to say about it:

“Mother’s Day.  Teacher appreciation.  Just because.  Say thank you with this no-maintenance bouqet.  There’s no watering, no weeding-just enjoying.  This easy-to-assemble kit comes complete with the petals, stems and buttons to creat the flowers, as well as four different tags to make this the perfect gift for any occasion.  All you need is some paper, ribbon or a vase to add the finishing touches to the bouquet.

Kit contents:

2 sheets of preprinted and precut flowers on 12″ x 12″ cardstock; makes 13 flowers using Pool party, Gumbal Green, Calypso Coral, Daffodil Delight, and Rich Razzleberry

13 Vintage Faceted Buttons

13 green floral wire stems

adhesive not included (glue gun recommended)”

It looks SO cute!  I can’t wait to try it!  Stampin’ Up! has even made a video showing exactly how to put the flowers together!  They think of everything.  Order your kit today!  They’re only available while supplies last!

Have a great day!  Take care and Happy Stamping!

Easter Blessings to all!  It’s the last day of our fun “What Can You Do With A Circle?” month so I had to show something with circles, right?  I was in a quandry of what to show you and then I saw it….this cute little Easter bonnet just sitting on the shelf in my craft room.  It has patiently been waiting for it’s debut…and the day has finally arrived!

I made this little hat years ago.  You can tell because Stampin’ Up! no longer carries the wide satin ribbon or these little flowers.  The entire hat is made from paper.  The top is a 2 5/8″ Circle and the bottom is 4 1/2″.   I must have used some kind of circle cutting tool for those….it’s been so long I can’t even remember!

This is actually a little treat container.  The top comes off.  There’s a band attached to the top and a band attached to the bottom with the top band being a little larger than the bottom.  I don’t have directions for this but if you’re interested in how to make this I could probably figure it out and make a little tutorial.  Just leave a comment or e-mail me at cindy@stampbystampcreations.com if you’re interested.

Easter Blessings!  Have a great day and Happy Stamping!

Who doesn’t love getting a little treat?  Especially a little Valentine treat with Ghirardelli chocolate in them?!  😀

These little treat holders are SO easy to make!  Just start with a piece of card stock that is 7 1/2″ x 2 1/2″.  Score along a long edge at 3 5/8″ and 3 7/8″.  (I used the Real Red Core’dinations Card Stock again for this little project.)

Place the Word Window Punch about 1 1/4″ in from one of the short edges and punch.  You now need to expand your punched window a little bit towards each long edge in order for the candy to be able to fit.

Fold the treat holder and line up the short edges.  Use your Crop-o-dile to punch two holes through both layers.  Thread your ribbon through and tie.  Decorate your treat holder how ever you’d like.  (Guess what I used….Hearts A Flutter….surprise!)

Easy, easy easy!  I whipped 10 of these up in no time at all!

Have a great day!  Take care and Happy Stamping!

Yes, Valentines Day is next week.   Are you ready?   I have a class/workshop tonight and this is my gift for the hostess.  She and seven friends are excited to make some cards!  Woo Hoo!

I made the little treat holder with the Fancy Favor Die for the Big Shot using the Real Red Core’dinations Card Stock.  I like the Core’dinations Card Stock even when you don’t emboss it to get the weathered look although I do miss Stampin’ Up!’s textured card stock.  It was perfect when you just neeeded that little something extra on your project!

To get the little border of designer paper to line up perfectly with the box I used a little bit of temporary adhesive and stuck the edges of the designer paper and Core’dinations card stock together BEFORE I ran them through the Big Shot.  Then I separated them, moved the designer paper up a bit and adhered them together with Sticky Strip.  It adds that little something extra to the box.

The hearts on the box are from my favorite:  Hearts a Flutter and die cut with the coordinating Framelits.  Add a bag of Hershey Kisses and you have a cute valentine treat!  😀

Wish me luck tonight!  Have a great day and Happy Stamping!  What are you making for your Valentine?  Let me know!

Have I told you that I LOVE this little whale? Ha!  I probably have mentioned it a time or two!  Isn’t this the cutest treat holder you’ve seen in a long time?  I came across it online the other day and had to drop everything I was doing to make it!  Did you notice my cute little whale is PINK?  😉

I made the lollie with the Simply Scored, scoring at every 1/2″.  I used two strips of 1 5/8″ x 12″ pieces of designer paper from the Sale-a-bration Sycamore Street pack.  Can you guess where the clouds came from?  The Cupcake Builder Punch!

Check out the second picture….whoever thought of using a button/brad container for treats?!  Some people can definitely see outside the box!  Have a great day!  Take care and Happy Stamping!

Hello!  Yesterday I did an Open House at a friend’s home.  I had a table with a bunch of samples as well as a simple make-and-take project.  All in all it was a successful event and everyone loved making these cute little Christmas tags.

They are SO simple.  Stamp your image, adhere it to a piece of card stock and then adhere it to the tag with Stampin’ Dimensionals.  Thread the adorable sweater trim through the hole and you have a cute and simple tag!

Don’t you want to make these for all of your gifts?  😉

Hello!  Halloween is just around the corner.  Are you ready?  Have you decorated yet?  Well, here is an adorable decoration for you!  A 6″ x 6″ Halloween Printer’s Tray/Shadow Box.  I was inspired by the incentive that Stampin’ Up! offered in August and September for new recruits.  I wanted to make something very similar to the one SU offered but I couldn’t find a printer’s tray that was like the one SU had.  I came across these small ones and figured they’d probably even be better (and less expensive!).  They had them at the local craft stores but I needed so many I ordered them on-line.

The adorable wall art is from Stampin’ Up!’s My Digital Studio.  It’s the Toxic Framable Digital Designer Template.  Don’t you LOVE it!  It’s so spooky!

The hardest part of the project was figuring out what to put in the small sections after I filled them with the Howlstooth & Scaringbone Designer Papers.  I finally decided upon a couple little banners held in place with Black Glimmer Brads.  For the center section I made a tiny little lollie and put a Vintage Brad in the center.  I think it turned out pretty darn cute!  Now I just need to put it out to decorate my home.

Have a great day!  Take care and Happy Stamping!
