Time for School to start!

 Hello Stampers!

Happy day to you!  I have a Harvest Hellos stamp set project to share with you today!

Although it's a different year, it's time in many places to go back to school!  Either online or onsite a teacher is someone very special! 
                  
-Card stock used: Daffodil Delight, Granny Apple Green, Real Red, Old Olive, Cinnamon Cider.

-Plaid Tidings Designer Series Paper  

As you look closely at the apples and leaves, yep I did know when I used the Apple Builder Punch , I punched out a leaf without stampin a leaf image first.  I thought being they are two different apples they would have different leaves!  LOL

Sentiment was stamped on a label from a Paper Pumpkin Kit.

I hope this year brings many smiles to all the children and teachers in school this year!  God Bless them all!

Keep calm and stamp on!

Thank you for joining me today!
Happy Stampin'!

Hello Stampers!
I was asked for 'one more Graduation card, please'!  I love getting special orders to create a card.
This is what I came up with.

Color layout, simple, Whisper White Thick and Basic Black card stock were used along with Silver Glimmer paper.

Confetti Stars Border punch, and Bravo Stamp set.  This layout was super simple, and when you need a card in a snap, simple is the way to go.

Here's to an Epic Celebration!~ Sale-a-Bration Card

Hello Stampers!
I have a fun card to share with you today.  One of my FREE picks from the Sale-a-Bration catalog was the Epic Celebrations stamp set.

This is my creation. I love 5 minute cards!  I actually created 10 cards, in 15 minutes! 

Colors used, Lemon Lime Twist, Peekaboo Peach, and Flirty Flamingo.  Such bright fun colors!  Layered it on Basic Black then a Whisper White card base.

I used Memento Black ink to stamp the sentiment and punched it out with the 1 3/8" punch then popped it up on a dimensional.  Then added an enamel dot in each color.

Thank you for joining me today!
Happy Stampin'!

Senior Cheer Squad gift bags!

Hello Stampers!
Happy Friday to you!  This week has flown by, we have already zoomed through one whole week in February. 
I have a sentimental project for you today.  My daughter has four girls in her cheer squad that are graduating this year and she wanted me to create a bag for them to hold some goodies from her and her team.
This is what I came up with.

Our school colors are Black and Orange so I used Black Glimmer paper and some retired Orange Glimmer paper to cut out sparkly numbers and word, "Seniors".   I used a retired stamp set to create the basketball images on the side of each bag, in Basic Black, and Craft White.

 I found the adorable paw print ribbon on Amazon! (Always a great last minute shopping place!)  I used Two-Way glue to adhere the letters and to stick the whole bag together solidly.

Thank you for joining me today!
Happy Stampin'!

"406" Bookmarker Project~

Hello Stampers!

Can you believe this is the LAST week of Sale-a-Bration!  Plus, they added new items, AGAIN to the list of what you can get for FREE!  Stampin' Up! really does want to spoil their customers!

I want to share what I have been working for a local group who supports our local school.  These are book markers that go on the back side of a cloth marker made by the FACS high school class.

I used all the 'orange' and 'black' I had in stock.   They are the colors of our school. I went through my Stampin' Up! Halloween DSP from years past and found some beautiful patterns to team up with Basic Black, Pumpkin Pie and Tangerine Tango.

Here are 16 of them.  I used the Large Number Framelits to create the "406".

Thank you for joining me today!
If you have any questions please let me know!

May your day Sparkle...even for a Monday!

Hello Stampers!

Happy Monday to you!  Hope you had a fun weekend.  I was surprised by my family for my birthday and had a wonderful day.  I also thank all of you who took part of the FREE SHIPPING offer on Saturday!  I will be in contact with you when the order has been shipped.

Here is my project I want to share with you today.

It's created with the beautiful Seasonal Bells stamp set with matching Bell Punch!  This set is so versatile!  I can see several types of cards with this set, wedding, anniversary, school, and of course Christmas!

Simple layout, but love it!!  Embossed bells make them really pop!

Thank you for joining me today!
Have a great week!!

Encourage-MINT!

Happy day to you stampers!
I have another fun and fast graduation project to share with you today.

I used Junior mints and wrapped it with Basic Black.  I then printed off a picture and wrote up the sentiment "Thank you for your encouragMINT"  These are so simple to make, you can do it while watching your favorite movie!

I have also used York Mints, but being my nephew does not care for mint I let my kids choose what kind of mints to use! :)

Thank you for joining me today!  Tomorrow is Friday!!  Hooray!

Origami Folded Pocket treat holder~

Hello my stamping friend!
So glad you joined me today.  I have a fun little tutorial to share with you today.
I am sure you have seen these cute little pockets but I have not made them for awhile and thought I would make up some to put Pop Rocks in.  Yes, I great up in the 90's!  LOL  My children love to give these to their friends.

What you'll need:
I used a piece of Love Blossoms Designer Series Paper Stack but if you are using regular card stock cut it to 6" x 6"

Fold it in half corner to corner to create a triangle.

Next you are going to grab the bottom left corner and bring straight over about half way and crease.
Do that for both sides.

Finally take the first layer and fold over the two small triangles to create a pocket.  Best part...NO glue or adhesive is need!  :)

How simple and fun was that?  Plus with the paper stacks that Stampin' Up! has to offer you can make these in a snap!  You can also check out the clearance rack for paper stacks that are retiring for a discounted price!

Thanks for stopping by!

Vampire Coffin Card~ Halloween Count Down!

Hi Stampers!

Here is my Halloween Count Down project for today!  

It's an adorable Coffin card.

I got my pattern from Martha Stewart, you can find the pattern HERE  

I printed it off and then shrank it down 75% and printed off two patterns. 

The first pattern I use for the card pattern in Stampin' Up! Basic Black and then I used the second pattern to cut out the middle section for the Smoky Slate piece.

The adorable little vampire is from Haunt Ya Later stamp set available in the Holiday catalog.  Stamped in Black Tuxedo Memento Ink and colored with the Stampin' Write colors Basic Black, Basic Gray, Smoky Slate, and Real Red.

I made a VIDEO for you to watch so you can watch just how easy it is to create this fun little card! 

Thanks for stopping by today!

Hope you have a great Monday!!

An Apple a day~

Hi my crafty friends!
Here is my fun little project for today!  For my kids I made little 'apples' with the Curvy Keepsake box Thinlits from SU. It's so cute!!  I then filled them with Heresy's kisses. You can't see it too well in the picture but the loop on top is brown, as if it was the stem, and then I used one of the tags that comes with the Keepsake Thinlits  and stamped a sentiment using the Banner Banter also from SU. 

Here is another picture of the pieces before I put them all together.  The baker's twine I got from the Dollar Tree!  I don't have one of those in my town and I'll tell you what, when my kids and I went on vacation and we found one it was so much fun finding all kinds of fun little craft projects for only a buck!  God Bless America!  LOL 

The kids loved that they were filled with their favorite chocolates as they get ready to head off to school tomorrow!

Back to School gift holder~

Hi Stampers!
I can not believe school starts in just a week and a half!  WOW! Our summer has just flown by.  We have gotten to do a lot of fun family events, but I still wish it was longer.  It's super hot here into the 100's for the past few days so it's a good time to say in doors to get some fun little projects done.

Here is the project I would like to share with you today.  I was not sure what to call it for sure, but it can hold candy, and it holds two hand sanitizers plus room for a little shredded paper to add fun!

I had not done a tutorial for awhile so I thought I would go ahead and do one for this project.

The items I used are a Varity,
Pacific Point Card Stock from Stampin' Up!
Overlay piece of card stock from The Paper Studio
Ribbon and punches are from Stampin' Up!
Twine is from Michaels

What you'll need:
-Two pieces of heavy card stock one cut at 11"x4 1/4" and 5"x3 3/8"
-Score the 11" x 3 1/4" paper at 4 3/4" and 6 1/4 set it aside and score the smaller piece of paper at 1" all the way around.

On the largest paper fold your score marks and fold in half to ends meet, next take a large oval punch to punch out both sides and adhere the over lay pieces.

-Next trim the edges of the smaller one to look like mine, that is going to be the box to hold the goodies in.  After trimming the corners use your choice of adhesive to stick it together, I used Fast Fuse by Stampin' Up!

-Place the box using Fast Fuse inside of the larger piece of paper in the middle between the score marks. 

-Then use pretty ribbon to tie it closed.  I used ribbon and twine to close mine.

There you have it!  How cute!!  The stamped Sentiment is from a now retired Stampin' Up set called  Label Love.

Thanks for stopping by!
Let me know what you think of the project either on here or on Facebook at www.facebook.com/starduststamper  I would love to hear from you!!
