Klennex box

My bosses birthday was this past week. She said all she wanted was a box of Klennex for her office. Well I couldn't just give her a plain box, I had to decorate it. This is what I came up with. The box already had the blue wavy pattern on it so I matched it up with some Stampin' Up! colors.

Petal Pizzaz

I needed to make some birthday cards to replenish my stash. I saw this great card on Jan Tinklenberg's blog so I cased it. I changed the word stamp set and the ribbon and didn't use the dots background but otherwise it is the same as her card. The first picture is the card and envelope, the other picture is the inside of the card. I got tired of boring plain insides so I have started decorating those too.

A couple of weeks ago when a bunch of us met at Archiver's Lisa Zappa gave us all a vintage BINGO card and challenged us to create something with it. This is what I did. She let me use her new Crafty Secrets stamp set called Lucky Wishes. Make sure to click on the picture to make it bigger so you can see all of the details.

Goody Goody Gumdrops part two

Here is another card with the hostess set. I want to have a few congratulations cards around so I thought this was a cute idea. The diamonds are filled in with glitter. The background on the Apricot paper is done with the Big Shot and a new texture plate. The corners are made by putting the corner of the paper into the Border Scallop Punch upside down and just sort of eyeballing where you want it to cut.

Goody Goody Gumdrops

I just love that saying! I had to have this set when I saw it. One of the perks of being a Stampin' Up! demo is the ability to preorder hostess stamp sets. This is a level three hostess set in the new catalog. I stamped the gumdrops and then cut them all out and kind of tossed them on the paper. Then I glued some down and popped some up.

I hope you arn't sick of Valentine's yet. :) I just love this stamp set.

This is made with the Big Shot machine. Just cut out a Scallop circle and shape it into a cone. I used Sticky tape to hold it together. Then stuff it with whatever type of candy that you want. Super quick and easy project. I got the idea from Angie's blog.

More Love You Much samples

Here is a little treat holder I made for mini hershey bars. The bar is wrapped in designer paper and has a ribbon tied over it. The little holder is just a peice of 3 X 6 1/2 paper scored at 3 3/4 inches and decorated. The red and brown piece is 2 1/2 X 2 1/2 and the white is 2 1/4 X 2 1/4. The stamp is inked with a basic black marker for the birds and the Riding Hood Red ink pad for the heart and the saying. Then I stamped the birds again on designer paper and cut them out and mounted them on top of the the plain white image.

More Goody Goody Gumdrops

Sooner or later I will get around to actually using the gumdrops in this stamp set. :) This is a quick card I did last night. Six of us got together at Archivers in Woodbury. It was so much fun!! Lisa Zappa set it up for us. The six were Lisa, Amy Rohl, Kathleen Hopperstad, Kristina Lewis, Chris Fuhs and me! Lisa even brought us presents. She gave us each a vintage Bingo card and let us loose to decorate them. I used one of her new stamp sets from Crafty Secrects so I can't post a picture of it yet. I will as soon as it comes out though. It is a very fun set.
