A Good Day Treat Bucket

How cute are these little spring treat buckets? We made these at the library class.

I found the buckets at a local store, and they came 3 in a package, with tags and white ribbons. I ditched the tags (mine are so much cuter). Then I colored the ribbon using my Pool Party ink pad and a tongue depressor. Just lay the ribbon across the ink pad, hold it down with the tongue depressor and pull on the end of the ribbon. I did both sides a few times to get the color I wanted. I think these turned out cute!

Stamps: A Good Day

Cardstock: Pool Party, Whisper White

Ink: Basic Gray Archival

Punches: 1 1/8″ Scallop Circle Punch, 1″ Circle Punch

These little buckets would be so cute with a different tag and filled with birdseed for a wedding!

I hope you enjoyed this little treat!

Fruit Basket Tags

I made this pear tag at OnStage last November, and decided it would be a good project for Stamp Club.

The Tutti Frutti 6 x 6 paper has bold fruit patterns on one side, and more subdued patterns on the other. We used the more subdued patterns for this project.

The Fruit Basket Bundle comes with a cute stamp set and a set of three itty bitty punches. The corners of the tags are actually cut with the watermelon punch, as is the hole for the ribbon. How versatile is that punch?!

Stamps: Fruit Basket

Cardstock: Whisper White

Ink: Real Red, Lemon Lime Twist, Soft Suede

Paper: Tutti Frutti DSP

Punches: Itty Bitty Fruit Punch Pack, Triple Banner Punch

Other: Lemon Lime Twist 3/8″ Mini Striped Ribbon, Whisper White Bakers Twine

The Fruit Basket bundle is on the retiring list, so grab it before it’s gone!

And, stay tuned for another project using this cute paper.

Who’s ready for spring? Our weather here has been crazy, going from winter to spring and back to winter again, but these daffodils definitely put me in a spring mood.

This is a pocket card which can actually double as an Easter Basket! I had some small cello packages of pastel M&Ms that we slipped into these cards.

Stamps: You’re Inspiring

Cardstock: Pear Pizzazz, Old Olive, Whisper White

Ink: Memento Tuxedo Black

Paper: Delightful Daisy DSP

Dies/Punches: Layering Ovals, 1/8″ Circle Punch, Daffodil Delight Cotton Ribbon (retired)

Daisy Delight Bouquet

This was the bonus project from my final monthly Cards & More class. Life was a little tough for a while there, and I had to eliminate some classes. But, things are better now, and I’m hoping to add in some new and different classes!

Do you recognize this little vase? It’s a syrup bottle from Cracker Barrel! I try to upcycle as many things as I possibly can to keep things out of the landfill.

Stamps: Daisy Delight

Cardstock: Soft Sky, Early Espresso

Ink: Early Espresso

Punch: Daisy

Paper: Wood Textures Designer Series Paper Stack

Other: Soft Sky Satin Ribbon (retired), floral wire, leaves from a silk flower stem

Stay tuned for more new projects from the Occasions Catalog.

Sure Do Love You Mini Pizza Box

This is one of our projects from January’s Stamp Club, using the mini pizza boxes. Although you won’t see these in the catalog, they did carry over from the Holiday Catalog (Item #144645), and are still available.

Be sure to look for the Painted With Love Specialty Designer Series Paper (DSP). It is absolutely gorgeous in Calypso Coral, Melon Mambo, Powder Pink, Rich Razzleberry, and beautiful Gold Foil!

The gold foil is really hard to photograph, and the picture really doesn’t do this project justice. The heart around the cutout is embossed with gold, although that’s hard to see, too.

Stamps: Sure Do Love You

Cardstock: Melon Mambo, Whisper White

Ink: Rich Razzleberry, VersaMark

Dies: Lots to Love Box Framelits Dies

Paper: Painted With Love Specialty DSP

Other: Mini Pizza Box, Gold Embossing Powder, Love Mini Tinsel Trim Combo Pack

Thanks for stopping by. If you’d like to join one of my Stamp Clubs, let me know! Or, if you need stampin’ supplies, visit my online store.

Wise Men from Afar

Do you know what today is? It’s Three Kings Day. I wasn’t aware of that holiday until we lived in Germany. When we lived there, people left their Christmas decorations up until January 6th.

This is a gift I gave to my Stamp Club members. It’s a small bar of Frankincense and Myrrh soap packaged in a cello bag. It smells amazing! The soap is made by a friend of mine in Bardstown, KY. You can find her website here. She has the most adorable little goats and makes her products using goat’s milk. If you contact her, please let her know that I sent you her way.
