Abstract Beauty Treat Packets

Abstract Beauty Treat Packets

I love treat packets! It’s so much fun creating them, filling them with goodies, and giving them out! I’m always on the lookout for a new and different design. I came upon this one while browsing Pinterest and changed the Designer Series Paper to fit my theme. (Be sure to watch the video at the end of this post to see how I made this.)

Easy to cut and put together, I made them for a recent game/stamping night at my home as a welcome gift. I use Stampin’ Up!’s Abstract Beauty 4 x 6 Specialty Designer Series Paper. Find this gorgeous paper on page 59 of Stampin’ Up!’s January-June 2022 Mini Catalog.

Notice the new, unique size presented at 4 x 6. I also love the gold accents found on many of the sheets.

These go together quickly and easily.

  • Cut the patterned paper at 4 inches x 5 inches
  • Score at 1 1/4 inches, 2 1/2 inches, and 3 3/4 inches on the five-inch side
  • Fold on the score lines
  • Place a Glue Dot on the bottom of four Hershey Nuggets
  • Place the nuggets on one end paper
  • Fold into a triangle shape
  • Adhere the bottom
  • Cut a belly band with coordinating paper at 5 x 2 inches. Score at 2 1/2 inches
  • Place around the treat packet and adhere on the bottom
  • Add a sentiment. I used the “I Like You” sentiment from the Flowing Flowers stamp set.
  • Embellish

Here’s another example of a treat packet I made with Stampin’ Up!’s Hey Sports Fan 12 x 12 Designer Series Paper.

Flowing Flowers Spring Card

Flowing Flowers Spring Card

Flowing Flowers Spring Card

Spring calls for flowers. The Flowing Flowers stamp set found in Stampin’ Up!’s January-June 2022 Mini Catalog is perfect for a spring-themed card.  I love the flower images but also the sentiments. (However, the sentiment on this card comes from the Timeless Tulips set found in the Annual Catalog. I had to go with the spring theme!)

Flowing Flowers Stamp Set

Here are a few details about this card.

  • Color palette: Mango Melody, Melon Mambo, and Pool Party
  • Randomly stamp images on Basic White card stock in three colors
  • Emboss this piece with the Tasteful Textiles 3D Embossing Folder
  • Layer this on coordinating card stock
  • Tie a bow with the Pool Party 3/8″ Sheer Ribbon
  • Stamp one large flower in Mango Melody and fussy cut with Paper Snips
  • Lightly sponge Mango Melody ink around the flower edges
  • Use dimensionals to pop up the flower on the card front
  • Cover flower with Wink of Stella
  • With a Melon Mambo Stampin’ Write Marker, color just the words “Happy Spring” on the sentiment from the Timeless Tulips stamp set on a piece of scrap Pool Party card stock. (I just happened to have a scrap piece from the Sunshine & Rainbows Designer Series Paper out on my crafting table.)
  • Adhere to the front of the card.
  • Color three Basic Pearls with the Light Melon Mambo Stampin’ Blend and adhere to the front of the card

I hope you enjoyed today’s card. Be sure to visit all of the blogs on the hop. Leave a comment with the hashtag #stampitcontest to win a free Looking Up card kit. Congrats to last month’s winner: Judy Bennett.

Thanks for joining me today.

Peaceful Place Gift Card Holder

How many days until Christmas? I’m not counting yet! But I do know I give a lot of gift cards. That’s where gift card holders come in handy.

Today’s project features a gift card holder that doubles as a greeting card. It fits in one of Stampin’ Up!’s regular envelopes. And it is so easy to make.

Here are the measurements beginning from the top down for the Peaceful Place Gift Card Holder:

  • Basic White: 1/2 inch x 3 (sentiment)
  • Peaceful Place Designer Series Paper: 4 1/4 x 2 3/4
  • Silver Foil 12 x 12 Specialty Paper: 4 1/2 x 3
  • White Base: 7 1/2 x 4 3/4, scored at 1 inch and 4 1/4 inch
  • Black Back: 5 1/4 x 3 3/4
  • DSP for inside piece: 1 x 4 3/4

The holder also uses the Evergreen Border Punch found in Stampin’ Up!’s Annual Catalog and the Peaceful Deer Stamp Set offered in the July-December 2021 Mini Catalog,

I made a few other samples that fit well for other occasions.
