A Simple Treat

So I'm on a bit of a run with the Labels Framelits this week.  I used them with my Stamp Club ladies this month (I'll share the Stamp Club projects tomorrow), so I made some samples to show them some alternate projects.

This little cutie is such a quick and easy little treat bag!  It literally took me under 2 minutes to make it!  I love the cello bags on page 181 of the catalogue, and fancy that, there's a Labels Framelit Die to fit both the small and medium bags!  Treat bags for the kiddos (or the big kids) has never been easier!  

Stamps: Something Sweet

Ink: Real Red, Garden Green, Daffodil Delight, Pacific Point

Paper: Whisper White, Real Red

Punches: Modern Label, Decorative Label

Big Shot: Labels Framelits Dies

Other: 3" x 5" Cello Bags, Gumballs

 All supplies available from Stampin' Up!

Thanks so much for stopping by!  I appreciate your support!

Happy Stampin'

Framelits, Apothecary Art, and some Bling!

Happy Monday to you!  Did you have a good weekend?  I sure did!!!  The Be A Big Shot, Round 2 Class was on Saturday night, so I had a house full of ladies over creating and having fun!  I enjoyed it as always!  And then Sunday was our Stamp Club meeting.  Another fun day of creating!  I'm really spoiled that this is my job.  AND I get to do it all again tonight with another group of Stamp Club ladies!!!  Seriously, I'm on cloud nine!  

Today's card is one that will appeal to you quick crafters out there!  The Apothecary Art stamp set is AMAZING, but some people shy away from it because they think they have to colour in all those little flowers.  Well, if you're short on time, just do what I did!  Punch out a few blossoms with your Itty Bitty Punch Pack flower punch, add some jewels, and voila!  No colouring required!

A stunning card with not a whole lot of effort.  Of course it helps that those Labels Framelits Dies fit the stamp set images perfectly, so no fussy cutting required either!  A crowd pleaser I'd say!

Stamps: Apothecary Art

Ink: Soft Suede, Calypso Coral

Paper: Very Vanilla, Pool Party, Blushing Bride, Calypso Coral, Attic Boutique DSP

Punches:  Itty Bitty Punch Pack, 1" Square

Big Shot: Labels Framelits

Embellishments: Basic Jewels, Very Vanilla 5/8" Satin Ribbon, Everyday Enchantment Brads

All supplies available from Stampin' Up!

Have a fabulous Monday friends!

Baby Shower Inspiration

There are so many wonderful aspects to my job as a Stampin' Up! Demonstrator, but being part of the milestones in people's lives has to be right up near the top.  Last week a dear friend of mine came over so we could do some creative planning for her baby shower.  And let me tell you, this baby is going to get a royal welcome!  She's planning on adorable onsie invitations and thank you cards, as well a little shopping bag favour with goodies inside.  She's a beginner crafter, so we chose simple and elegant designs that are cute and adorable with not a lot of technical steps.  She's going to do a fabulous job!  This is one girl who truly knows how to put on an event, so I can't wait to go!  

Thanks for letting me share.

Kindness Matters - Catalogue CASE

FREE stamps!  Yep, the beautiful Kindness Matters stamp set is one you can earn for FREE during Sale-a-bration!  This is one of those sets that has been on my list for WAY too long, and now I can finally say that it has a cozy home on my shelf.  Better yet, I didn't pay for it.  Score!  You can see all the Sale-a-bration items you can earn HERE.  Just spend $60 before tax and shipping in my store HERE and you can get free stuff too!

I've been eying up the card on page 121 of the catalogue so tonight I sat down to make it.  I changed it up a bit with my layout, but it's pretty much the same as it is in the catalogue.  I love that this book is so full of ideas!

Oh, and double score on FREE goodies!  The Designer Frames Embossing Folders are also an available selection in the Sale-a-bration promotion!  So awesome!

Ribbon Organizer - Check!

Finally!  A ribbon storage solution I'm happy with!  I've tried many, let me tell you.  Those ribbon boxes where you pull out the ends, nightmare.  The paper towel dispenser like dowel thing, horrid.  A drawer to throw everything into never to be seen again, not exactly a storage solution, more like a storage abyss.  And now, the fabulous luxury of this PERFECT shelf!  

This is actually a picture shelf from Ikea that is super skinny and long.  I guess you are supposed to mount it on the wall and then place your framed art on the shelf.  I think they'd make more money marketing this as a ribbon shelf quite honestly.  I don't really get the intended concept for it.  Nevertheless, it's the perfect solution to all my ribbon hoarding nightmares.  That really is a lot of ribbon isn't it?  I should really get creating...

Have a fabulous day!  Thanks for stopping by!
Happy Stampin'
