Weather Together

Tomorrow is the last day to get the cute bundle I used on this card!! This was a project from May’s Stamp Club.

We used a retired envelope paper, but any pretty Designer Series Paper would work just as well. We also used the notecards and envelopes. They are the perfect size for this project.

Tip: Stamp and cut the umbrella and handle from the DSP (Designer Series Paper) you’re using for your layer. Just be sure to stay away from the edges. Since you’re covering up everything but the edges, it’s a great way to save paper.

Stamps: Weather Together

Cardstock: Whisper White

Ink: Basic Black, Smoky Slate

Paper: In Color Envelope Paper (vintage)

Dies: Umbrella Weather Framelits

Other: Note Cards and Envelopes

If you like this stamp set and dies, don’t miss out!! Get them before it’s too late! You can order them at the link below.

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.

Heart Happiness Mini Card

This is another of our January Stamp Club projects. We made a mini valentine to go in our pizza box, using the Heart Happiness Stamp Set, which coordinates with the heart die from the Lots of Love Box Framelits Dies and the Sweet and Sassy Framelits Dies. The large heart was the leftover piece we cut from the cardstock on the front of our pizza box, so no waste. If you missed the Mini Pizza Box, you can find it here.

Once again, we used the beautiful Painted with Love Specialty Designer Series Paper. Unfortunately, the gold foil is showing up more black in my photos, which certainly doesn’t do this card justice! That gold foil is gorgeous in real life.

This card is 3”x6”, and when folded in half, fits perfectly into the 3”x3” envelopes, which in turn, fit perfectly into the Mini Pizza Box. Tip: When making cards this size, use 12”x12” cardstock. You can get 8 from one sheet with NO waste!

Stamps: Heart Happiness, Teeny Tiny Wishes

Cardstock: Whisper White, Rich Razzleberry, Melon Mambo, Calypso Coral

Ink: Melon Mambo, Calypso Coral

Dies: Lots to Love Box Framelits Dies, Sweet and Sassy Framelits Dies

Other: Mini gold sequins

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.

Stamps: Wise Men from Afar

Cardstock: Marina Mist, Gold Glimmer

Ink: Night of Navy

Punches: Scallop Tag Topper, Small Star (retired)

Other: Night of Navy Seam Binding (retired), 3×6 gusseted cello bags

Thanks for taking the time to visit today!

Add A Little Glitz

This was a last minute gift card holder from December Stamp Club. I got the idea right out of the Holiday Catalog. It’s so quick and easy that you could make a bunch of these in no time flat!

I did add a little line of glue to seal the bottom so the gift card wouldn’t slide right out. And again, we colored the rhinestones red with the Cherry Cobbler Stampin’ Blend pen.
