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.


Stamps: Petal Pizzaz

Ink: Brocade Blue, Pretty In Pink, Sage Shadow

CS: White, Sage Shadow

Other: Ribbons, Scallop Edge Punch, Pop Dots

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.
Stamps: Petal Pizzaz, Happy Everything
Ink: Chocolate Chip, Summer Sun, Pacific Point, Kiwi Kiss

Other: Ribbon, Flower Brads, Chocolate Chip Marker, Dimentionals

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.

Stamps: Goody Goody Gumdrops

Ink: Black

CS: Apricot Appeal, Kraft, Vanilla, Bashful Blue

Other: Dazzling Diamonds glitter, Kraft ribbon, Apricot Appeal Marker, Square Scallop Punch, Border Scallop Punch, Big Shot, Texture plate

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.


Stamps: Goody Goody Gumdrops

Ink: Black

CS: White, Tempting Turquoise, Apricot Appeal, Green Galore, Gable Green

Other: Tempting Turquoise and Apricot ribbon
