Freshly Brewed Blog Hop – I’ve been framed!!

I’m joining the lovely ladies from Australia again this week for the Freshly Brewed Projects Blog Hop!

This week’s theme is frames, and I can’t wait to see how everyone interprets this in their project.  I decided to share a project I’ll be teaching in a Halloween Décor class this Saturday.  We’ll be using the Ghoulish Goodies Stamp Set, along with a few things from the Magic In This Night Suite.

The frame is 9 x 9.  Our artwork is 8 x 8 (Cajun Craze) layered onto the white mat that came with the frame.  I remove the glass from the frame and place it behind the mat to add stability, and if I want to use the frame for something else later, I don’t have to look for the glass!

The black cat’s eyes, nose and collar are colored with Stampin’ Blends, and there’s a small clear rhinestone tag on his collar.

The bats are cut from black cardstock and painted with Wink of Stella for added sparkle.

A small square of Rich Razzleberry cardstock is embossed with the Cobwebs 3D Embossing Folder, and the spider is colored with Rich Razzleberry Stampin’ Blends. The silver cord is a vintage product.

I’m excited to have this class and let everyone add a little spookiness to their homes this Halloween.

Here’s the fixin’s:

I hope you’ve enjoyed this project.  Be sure to follow the links below to see what the other ladies did with frames!

DIY Birthday

During the pandemic, we haven’t been able to celebrate birthdays like we’d really like to.  But, we’ve been able to celebrate in fun and different ways.

We recently celebrated the birthday of one of our friends, a young man who turned 29, with a drive-by parade which, interestingly enough, turned out to be comprised of 29 vehicles!  We had signs and balloons, and some of us handed John-Mark gifts as we drove by.  He likes candles and ice cream, so I gave him a box with a card and a DIY birthday party that had both!

The party in a box contains a Rainbow Chip Mug Cake with a frosting packet, a birthday candle, wooden spoon, and a gift card to Dewster’s, a local homemade ice cream store.  What else do you need for a birthday party?!

I used the vintage Sprinkles of Life stamp set, Tree Builder Punch, It’s My Party DSP and enamel dots for this project.

Here’s the rest of the fixin’s:

Stars & Stripes Treat

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.

Pillow Box Treat Bag

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:

Thanks for stopping by!  I hope you enjoyed this project.

Spring at the Library

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!

Coffee or Tea?

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!!

Donuts for the Veterans

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!!

Snowman Season and Santa Quick Treats

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.

Last Minute Mini Curvy Keepsakes Box Treat

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

Paper Pumpkin Halloween!

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.
