Fourth Of July Goodies

Hello Friends!

Today I would like to share with you these favors I made for Fourth of July.

Can you believe these were thrown together at the last minute? I found these cute chocolates at my local grocery store as I was doing some last minute shopping for my family get together. I saw them and I had to buy them. I mean it is chocolate AND they happen to be wrapped in gorgeous American wrappers.

When I got these chocolates home I went to play right away. I had about 20 minutes before it was  "time to go".  For this goodie bag I grabbed a 3x6 gusseted cellophane bag and filled it with some of the chocolates. I tied a bow using some classic weave ribbon in whisper white. I used my 1 3/4 circle punch with some whisper white cardstock. I used the little star from the Moon Baby stamp set to stamp out all the stars using real red and night of navy ink. I also used the Thoughtful Banners stamp set along with the coordinating classic label punch.     

 For this favor I used a 2x8 cellophane bag. I like how the chocolates look in this. Used just about the same things except for this one I used the In the City stamp set for the fireworks. Which is ONLY AVAILABLE through the hostess rewards.

Although these were thrown together last minute, the recipients LOVED them. =)

Hope you had a great Fourth Of July!

Till next time peeps.

Happy Stampin'

Thank You Card

Hello my Stampin Friends! Happy Monday! I hope you had a great weekend.

Today I would like to share with you this Thank You card I made. 

                        

This card was inspired by one of the cards in the annual catalog just slightly different. One of the many reasons why I love the annual catalog. Not only does it showcase all the awesome goodies Stampin Up! has to offer but it's also filled with marvelous ideas which equals WINNING! 

I really like the color combo on this one and I love how the pearls give this card a little pop! 

Some of you may or may not know that I belong to the FAMOUS Inking Everything Family. Yes the one with my fabulous upline Becky Roberts. You know the stamper who makes those amazing paper purses. Well we have a birthday list and a couple of nice team members made me a birthday card. This thank you card is what I made them. Unfortunately one card did not have a return address. I'm hoping that she may stop by and see this card. Fingers crossed people!

One more thing I would like to mention. 

The new Holiday Catalog is almost here! I can't begin to tell you how AMAZING it is. I literally was like " Just take money already" as I was looking through it. I want it all and have a huge wish list. Yes us Stampin' Up demonstrators have wish lists too! Lucky for me I was able to order some new goodies Just one of the many perks of being a Stampin Up! demonstrator. I will be showcasing some stuff this week so check back soon! If you don't have a Stampin' Up! demonstrator and would like a copy please contact me. I would love to send one out to you. 

                                    

Thank You for stopping by. I hope you have a fabulous day, even though it's a Monday. We can do this peeps! 

Happy Stampin!

Hello Card

Hello my Stampin' Friends!

Today I would like to share with you this card I made. 

This card was a spur of the moment kind of card. I had actually made the flower tag to use on something else I was working on. Only problem was I lost it. Yup somehow this tag got lost! I looked everywhere for it and no dice. It was gone. Fast forward to last night. I was cleaning up my work space and boom found it. So instead of cleaning I decided to play and made this card. Winning! 

Hope you enjoyed this post today. 

Till next time peeps!

Minnie Thank You Card

Hello My Stampin' Friends!

Today I would like to share with you this thank you card I made for my neighbor/ friend. She LOVES Disney. She just went to the happiest place on earth and she was so sweet to think about me and my little family and brought us back a yummy Minnie caramel apple and some delicious Mickey and Minnie chocolate covered marshmallows!

Naturally I had to make a Disney theme thank you card!

I made this card using my FAVORITE tool the big shot and the new swirly scribbles thinlits dies.

I just used my paper snipes to snip off the little leaves.

I then brushed some wink of Stella over my swirls to give them a little shine.

The bow I made using the bow builder punch. I also used the new Sprinkles punch for the mini white dots for the bow. The stamp set I used was the Thoughtful Banners.

I think she will love it!

Thank you for stopping by my Stampin' Peeps!

Till next time.

Happy Stampin'!

4th Of July Goodies

Hello My Stampin' Friends!

Today I would like to share with you some sweet goodies I made for the 4th Of July.

I found some really awesome patriotic candy at the grocery store, Once I saw them I knew they would be perfect for Stampin' Up's! NEW clear tiny treat boxes.  The first box has some yummy Rolo's inside. I used the thoughtful banners stamp set along with the coordinating classic label punch for the sentiment. I also used the smallest star die from the stars framelits set.

For this next box I filled it with some mini Ghirardelli chocolate squares and some Rolo's. I tied a bow around the box with some Dapper Denim ruched ribbon. To make the star tag I used the long solid bar stamp from the thoughtful banners stamp set. I alternated stamping with real red and pacific point. I then cut out the star shape using the second smallest star die from the stars framelits set. After I got my star I then layerd the smallest star on top and ran it through my big shot again. I tied around bow with some cherry cobbler bakers twine.

Here is a look at the top of the box / star tag.

This next goodie I used the new 2x8 cellophane bags. I put some York patties inside. I like how it came out. I just tied a bow and used a glue dot to attach to the top corner.

One last picture of all of them together.

Hope you have a great 4th of July weekend! Till next time peeps!

Happy Stampin'!

Hello Friend

Hello My Stampin' Friends!

Happy Friday! Today I would like to share with you two cards I made with the Remarkable You and Thoughtful Banners stamp set.

This first card is a note size card which was perfect for these Calla Lily Flowers. I made this card for a friend of mine and she loved it because she said it was totally me. I'm always saying "Hello Friend". When I saw this new stamp set I knew I had to have it! I used a aqua painter to color in the vines and the center of the flowers.

I also used the Wink Of Stella Glitter brush in clear to outline the flowers. I love how it came out!

 This next card is a small 3x3 card. This is one of the cards I will be mailing out to my customers this month who place a order with me.

Have you used a aqua painter or wink of Stella glitter brush? If so how do you like it? Leave me a comment below. I would love to hear from you!
