The kid in me thinks of candy, candy and candy at Halloween. I remember as a kid, sleeping with my candy bag so that my favorite candy, gum, snickers, rolos and twizzlers…. wouldn’t mysteriously disappear in the night. With candy in mind, I decided to feature treat packaging for Halloween with the Mini Pocket Envelope Dies and the Pretty Pillow Box Dies.

I die cut the Mini Pocket Envelope and Pillow Box using the Metallic & Shimmer Specialty Paper. I just love how shimmery this paper is and its perfect for Halloween. I used the star stamp from the Alphabest Stamp set and Pumpkin Pie ink to decorate the inside of the envelope and box.

I used the Designer Tags Dies and Basic White cardstock to create the tags for the treats. Using the stars again, I stamped them in So Saffron on the tag, then stamped the Trick Or Treat in Pumpkin Pie ink. Before I made these tags I did a few tests on some scrap cardstock with different colors and lining up the letters. I really liked the effect of not linking up the letters and leaving some of them a little crooked.

Stampin’ Blends are great for adding color to ribbon, embellishments as well as coloring images. I used the Pie Stampin’ Blends to add color the super cute Black & White Gingham Ribbon.

Demonstrator Training Program Blog Hop – September Customer Thank You

/ 18 Comments

Welcome to our Stampin’ Up!® Demonstrator Training Program Monthly Blog Hop!

We are so happy that you could join us today for this blog hop for ideas and creative inspiration. Our blog hop focuses on the Thank You cards we are sending to our customers.

I wanted to feature a Fall theme to my thank you cards. The Leaf Labels & Amber Gems Combo Pack are perfect for this quick and easy card. I colored in a piece of Perfectly Penciled DSP with Watercolor Pencils and brushed on a Wink of Stella over the leaves, which not only give a bit of sparkle to the DSP but also helped to blend in the colors of the Watercolor Pencils. Then I adhered the DSP to a piece of Merry Merlot Cardstock. I used Stampin’ Dimensionals to adhere the Layers to the Crumb Cake Cardstock base.

I die cut the stitched circle with the Stylish Shapes Dies and a piece of Brushed Metallic Cardstock. Then with a bit of Stampin’ Seal+ on the back, I added some of the gold trim from the Simply Elegant Trim, then added it to the lower left corner of of my card.

I brushed a little Merry Merlot, and Pumpkin Pie ink with a Blending Brush on a Leaf Label, to give it a bit of color, and added it to the Brushed Metallic Circle with Stampin’ Dimensionals.

The Sending Smiles “A Note of Thanks” sentiment is stamped Merry Merlot on Basic White Cardstock. Then die cut with the Stylish Shapes Dies. I added it to the card over the leaf and a few of the Amber Gems to complete the card.

A Note of Thanks Card Measurements

  • Crumb Cake Cardstock Base: 5-1/2″ x 8-1/2″, score and fold in half at 4-1/4″
  • Merry Merlot Cardstock: 4-1/8″ x 5-3/8″
  • Perfectly Penciled DSP: 3-7/8″ x 5-1/8″

Sending Hugs Card with the Splendid Day Suite

/ Leave a Comment

The pretty Splendid Day Suite is one of my favorite suites in the July – December 2022 Mini Catalog. I created this Sending Hugs card for a Luv 2 Stamp Group Team challenge, to create a project using at least 3 products from one suite. I used all 4 products from the suite on this simple and pretty card.

To create my card I cut a piece of Splendid Day Specialty DSP to 3-1/4″ x 4-1/2″, and adhered it to a 3-1/2″ x 4-3/4″ piece of Night of Navy Cardstock. Next I die cut the label in Whisper White cardstock with the Stylish shapes Dies. I stamped the sentiment in Night of Navy in the lower right corner of the label and adhered it to the Splendid Day layer.

Then i added the layers to an piece of Splendid Day Specialty DSP cut to 4″ x 5-1/4″. Before adding all the layers to the card base, I cut a piece of Soft Sea Foam Seam Binding Ribbon to 6″ and threaded it through the eyelet of one of the Open Leaf Trinkets. I wrapped the ribbon around the layers, adhered to the back of the Splendid Day Specialty DSP with Stampin’ Seal +. To keep the Open Leaf Trinket in place, I added a glue dot behind the eyelet of the trinket.

To complete the card I adhered the layers to a Night of Navy cardbase and and added a few Iridescent Basic Jewels Rhinestones.

Sending Hugs Card Measurements:

  • Night of Navy Cardbase: 4-1/4″ x11″, scored in half at 5-1/2″
  • Splendid Day Specialty DSP: 4″x 5-1/4″, 3-1/4″ x 4-1/2″
  • Night of Navy: 3-1/2″ x 4-3/4″
  • Basic White Scrap for label

August Customer Thank you Cards

/ 20 Comments

Welcome to our Stampin’ Up!® Demonstrator Training Program Monthly Blog Hop!

We are so happy that you could join us today for this blog hop for ideas and creative inspiration. Our blog hop focuses on the Thank You cards we are sending to our customers.

You may be starting here or have come from another blog – either way you can find the link list at the bottom of this post so that you can see every blog post today.

For this months Customer cards I decided to use the Splendid Day Designer Series Paper and the Beautiful Shapes Dies, to create a clean and simple card. I love how they turned out!

To create my card I cut card bases in both Soft Sea Foam and Fresh Freesia CardStock. Then I used the Beautiful Shapes Dies to die cut several hexagons from the Splendid Day Designer Series Paper. I adhered the 2 largest hexagons with multipurpose liquid glue, and the smallest hexagon with Mini Stampin’ Dimensionals on Basic White cardstock. I stamped several images from the Hello Beautiful Stamp set to add a bit of texture to the card, then attached the Basic White layer to the card base.

The sentiment is from the Pansy Patch stamp set, stamped in Tuxedo Black Ink, on a strip of Basic White cardstock. Then punched each side with the Lovely Labels Pick a Punch and added it to the card front with Stampin’ Dimensionals. I added a few of the 2021-2023 In Color Opal Rounds because I just couldn’t resist adding a little more sparkle to the cards.

For the inside of my card I stamped the Bee and foliage images from the Splendid Thoughts Stamp set on Basic White cardstock, then adhered it to the inside of the card.

Hello From Me to You Card Measurements:

  • Cardbase: 5-1/2″ x 8-1/2″, score at 4-1/4″
  • Basic White Layer: 4″ x 5-1/4″
  • Basic White Inside: 4′ x 5-1/4″
  • Basic White Strip for Sentiment: 1/2″ x 4″

I’d love to be your Stampin’ Up!® Demonstrator. All the Stampin’ Up! supplies used to make my card are available in my online store. Simply click any of the product photos below!
