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:
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!
We are living in crazy times, aren’t we? Was it only three months ago that we were encouraging people to stay off their phones and computers and get out and be more social? Wow! What a reversal. I hope you’re all staying in and staying safe.
We had our March Stamp Club just before all this began escalating. I’m so glad we were able to get together!
This is one of the cards we made at club. There are stamp choices for both coffee and tea, and you can tuck a tea bag or coffee gift card in the inside pocket.
This stamp set is available FREE with a $100 order, but only until the end of the month!!
Here’s the fixin’s:
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’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.
I am in love with the Harvest Hellos bundle! And, it seems that everyone else is, too!
I came up with this cute little treat box using the pumpkins and a simple 3″ x 3″ square scored at 1″ and 2″ both ways, cut and folded into a 1″ box which will hold a Hershey Kiss or a Mini. After I finished mine, I saw several of these, almost identical, done by other demos! I couldn’t believe it.
We made these at Stamp Club and each person had the option to add a Jack-o-lantern face. I hope you like them!
Here are the fixin’s:
Sometimes you just need to make something a little different! I love making small pieces of art to decorate my home, or gift to a friend.
We made this little work of art in Stamp Club using the Wonderfully Wicked bundle. And look closely! That cat has rhinestone eyes!
Here are the fixin’s!
