Hello Stampers!   I know I’ve said this before, but one of my favorite things to make and give are treat packets. That’s why I love these Silver Mini Gable Boxes offered in Stampin’ Up!’s new Occasions Catalog. They are beautiful simply as they are, but I’ve added pieces of the Sweet Soiree Designer Series Paper to dress them up. I’ve added a tag and a piece of the luscious Berry Burst 3/8-inch Metallic-Edge Ribbon. I even used some of the Shreddie offered on page 13 of the Occasions Catalog.   These boxes can hold everything from candy of many varieties to a roll of baker’s twine and more. There are 12 boxes in the package for $8. They...

Hello Stampers!  The Heartfelt Blooms stamp set is one of my favorites from Stampin’ Up!’s Sale-A-Bration offerings. You can earn it free with a $50 purchase (before tax and shipping). Stampin’ Up! is working on a patent for this new Distinktive stamp, which, when stamped leaves a perfect photographic finish look.  I used it for this card to create a sympathy/thinking of you, something I need more often than I like. For the white background, I used a new embossing folder from Stampin’ Up!’s Occasion Catalog called the Simple Stripes Textured Embossing Folder. A few details:  Used a Night of Navy base measuring 5 ½ by 11 inches, scored at 4...

Hello Stampers!   This last week my crafting space (my dining room table, at the present) was covered with several projects all in progress. (We have to eat at the counter!) Of course, I became distracted from my original task and created today’s card geared toward the upcoming Valentine’s Day.   I love the new Painted with Love Specialty Designer Series Paper (available in Stampin’ Up!s New Occasions Catalog) with its swaths of gold foil running through. And, how about that lovely Berry Burst Metallic-Edge Ribbon? I paired these brand-new products with a stamp set from SU!’s Annual Catalog, Watts of Occasions.   This is a fun layout that...
