When I first saw the popcorn box I put it on my wishlist, but after seeing this Stampin’ Up! video, I was sold and ordered it immediately! [youtube https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tc0IY2IEXpM&w=560&h=315] The popcorn box is really cute and the perfect size at 3-1/2″ tall to add cello bags filled with treats or surprises. But with just a few tweaks, it […]

Marquee Messages for your birthday
I was up bright and early last Friday morning which is very unusual for me on my days off! But I spent Thursday dealing with possible medical issues with my dad and I was ready for Connie Stewart’s SGGW weekend template challenge as a diversion of creativity. This past weekend’s template was a little more challenging […]
Perfectly Wrapped – another wonderful kit
All last week I’ve been showing you all the different decorated boxes I’ve made. Today I’m showing you one of Stampin’ Up! wonderful project kits that will make your gift box making so easy! The “Perfectly Wrapped” project kit. Here’s a close-up of how I made each of the containers: The kit has all the pieces […]
“Love” for FMS250 challenge
I finally got my back-ordered Sunshine Wishes thinlit dies, so I could create this card, using the FMS250 sketch, that has been floating in my imagination all week. It was so simple, quick (under 5 minutes, tops!) and I love the way it looks. A stockpile card for my sweetie for the next occasion when I […]
Washi tape everything and everywhere!
Another thing I tend to have a lot of – my washi tape collection. Yes, collection since I think I have every set of washi tape that Stampin’ Up! has ever had – LOL! I’m trying to find alternative ways to use a lot of it up since I can only make so many cards with […]
Silver Anniversary surprises – with a special gift box
I wanted to create a more masculine box for today’s post, hence the Basic Gray and silver. When I finished I realized this would also make a great Silver Anniversary gift box for someone special. A sad note since almost all of the supplies I used on this box and the boxes themselves retired this past year. […]
Flirty Flamingo flower box ready for treats
It’s that time of year for me – time to stock up on my boxes and bags for upcoming birthdays, anniversaries, babies and other celebrations! This past week I worked on creating a variety of gift box and bag ideas. I’ll also use them for my upcoming class on “Gift Boxes & Bags Ideas.” The Stampin’ […]
You’re the Best Friendly Wishes
Another challenge template for my “You’re the Best” card to thank someone for what they do. Hopping back another week, I looked up Connie Stewart’s SGGWW 7-22-16 challenge template. Using templates makes card design so much easier, all you have to do is pick your favorite papers and colors combinations. I love B&W with a pop […]
Swirly Scribbles and Artsy Geometrics
As I said Monday, I was really productive this past weekend! After finishing my 8-5-16 SGGWW challenge card (if you missed it, see it here), I went back a week to look at the 7-29-16 challenge. Oh, oh…another great template but this time for the Swirly Scribbles thinlet dies I just got. A couple of […]
