Happy Fourth of July!!
I know things are tough right now, with COVID-19, job insecurities, protests, and concerns about the economy. But, I hope you’ll get a chance to relax and enjoy today.
At Stamp Club last month, we made these cute treats.
Here’s the fixin’s:
Independence Day will be here before you know it!
In today’s Tuesday Tidbit, I’d like to share a quick tutorial on making 3D stars. These are easy to make, and you can add them to your Fourth of July Projects, or any project.

I recently sent these cards to my Stamp Club members. I used up some of my retired stash of Tangerine Tango cardstock and DSP, along with the Digital Download created by Stampin’ Up! as a fundraiser to support organizations fighting COVID 19.
These cards were easy to make, but it did take me a while to fold all those little “masks” and attach all the ribbon. My club members seemed to enjoy the cards, so it was worth it!
If you don’t have one, I would LOVE to be your demonstrator!! You can shop with me 24/7 at the link below.
Last month’s Stamp Club was held online again, due to our state’s social distancing requirements. It’s not nearly as much fun as stamping together, but we still had fun. This was one of our projects.
It’s really easy to make. You only fold one end of the pillow box together and leave the other end flat. Use your punch to punch a “handle” in the flat end, and voila, an instant treat bag.
Here’s the fixin’s:
Before we had to think about social distancing, I held a monthly class at my local library. Now all events have been cancelled.
At my last class, we used the retired Best Bunny stamp set and Bunny Builder Punch to make little Spring baskets and cards. I was also planning to make these baskets for the residents at the local Veterans Center, but now we have discontinued our visits to limit their exposure. Maybe next year!
Here’s the fixin’s:
I hope you enjoyed these little projects. If you need any stamping supplies, and don’t have a demonstrator, I’d love to be your creative coach!
One of the things my stamping group does is support our local veterans center in Radcliff, KY (RVC). Once a month or so, we take handmade cards and help the residents send them to their friends and family members.
We also do other things like volunteer at some of their activities and events. We’ve found out that our veterans really like their sweets! So, some of us got together and made them each a cute little powdered donut snowman.
I have the best friends ever, and they are so generous with their time and talent! They just don’t know how much I appreciate them!
Me, Kim, Nan, Janet and 75 little edible snowmen!
THANK YOU, LADIES!!
Here’s another idea for last minute treats!
Take a 3 1/4″ cardstock square, and score at 3/4″ and 1 1/8″ on opposite sides. Wrap around a small Hershey bar, secure with glue and decorate as desired.
Here’s the fixin’s:
If you need last minute treats for your class or office, this is the perfect thing for you!
These Mini Curvy Keepsake boxes go together with NO ADHESIVE….. just cut, fold, slip the slots over the handles and embellish as desired!
And, if you like that mini pinecone, our new property has a tree that produces those! Our new house will be built “around” this tree! LOL
Here’s the fixin’s:
If you’re looking for a quick and easy treat for friends, classmates, or co-workers, the Mini Curvy Keepsakes bundle is just what you need!
It’s super quick and easy, goes together with NO adhesive, and fits perfectly on our 6”x6” DSP. It doesn’t get much easier than that! And, it comes in a bundle so you can save 10% on the stamp set and dies.
A mini chocolate will fit perfectly in these little boxes.
Here’s the fixin’s:
If you’ve never had a Paper Pumpkin subscription, you might want to think about trying one.
Paper Pumpkin is a red box that comes directly to your mailbox and contains everything you need to make the project of the month!
The September Paper Pumpkin kit made 20 of these cute little treat boxes….. ten each of two designs. Just big enough for two or three of the chocolate minis, it would make a great treat for a classroom of children or a group of co-workers.
Click on the Paper Pumpkin link to sign up! Be sure to sign up before the 10th of the month, to get that month’s kit.
Are you looking for a great creative outlet without all the preparation? With monthly kits that include everything you need for an exciting project, Paper Pumpkin lets you and your friends skip to the fun.
