Gingerbread Nested Treat Boxes

 Hello & Happy Fri-YAY!

Today I have part 2 of the Nested Treat Boxes to share with you!

I really like these boxes!

Project Details:

Stamps: Sending Cheer, Amuse (saying)

Ink: Pecan Pie, Memento Black, Real Red

Cardstock: Basic White, Real Red, Traditions of St. Nick DSP (Online Exclusives)

Accessories: Sending Cheer Dies, Double Oval Punch, Pecan Pie Ribbon, Red Rhinestones, Dimensionals, Tombow Multipurpose Liquid Glue

Of course, these are my favorite because of the Gingerbread guys!

I filled these a bit differently than the Beary Cute boxes.

These are filled with 3 Twix bite sized bars, a Little Debbie Gingerbread Cookie (which BTW are so good!) and a handful of the Santa Hat Hershey Kisses. They filled this box up nicely!

I'm not sure how many have sold yet since I've not heard from Audrey yet to go pick up the basket of treats. If any of these Nested Treat Boxes come back I will be surprised since they are so cute! We shall see!

So how are your holiday plans coming along?

Last evening we did the grocery store and got the last couple things on my list.

Today I am working on laundry. Saturday, my new stove will get hooked up and Kelsey & Shady will be coming over later in the day. I got a fun puzzle for us to do while she is here.

Sunday, she is making meatballs in the crock pot and Shawn is making cream of crab soup. I'm sure we are gonna be stuffed to the gills and hope to end the day with watching the Jim Carrey version of The Grinch. 

I'm exhausted thinking about it!

2023 Christmas M&M Sticks

 Hello & Happy Sunday, Everyone! 

Hope your all having a nice weekend!

We had some beautiful weather yesterday but today we are in for rain. It seems like every Sunday lately it has rained. Yesterday we baked 4 batches of cookies for Christmas and just lounged around the rest of the day. Later today we are going out to dinner with some friends of Shawn's so let's hope it is not pouring buckets until we get home.

Today I am sharing the M&M Sticks that I made for Christmas treats this year. 

I have a lady that loves them and buys them all the time. I got my 1 x 8 Cello Bags off of Ebay since Stampin Up! has not carried them in a few years. 

I also used the Sending Cheer bundle on these.

Project Details:

Stamps: Sending Cheer

Ink: Shaded Spruce, Real Red

Cardstock: Shaded Spruce, Basic White

Accessories: 1 x 8 Cello Bags (Ebay), Double Oval Punch, Sending Cheer Dies, Twine (Hobby Lobby), Dimensionals, Tombow Multipurpose Liquid Glue

I used 2 regular bags of M&M's for these and I would not be surprised if I may need more! These are a very good seller for me and I do enjoy making them!

Christmas Kit Kats

 Hello & Happy Fri-YAY!

I'm usually more excited for Fridays but today I slept in and feeling quite washed out.

All my crafts are done and ready for tomorrow...thank God for that because my hands are aching. Next week I have a small order for Ryan for Gift Card Holders but he said he's not in any hurry, just as long as he has them before Christmas Eve. 

Today I have a Christmas treat to share with you!

I made these with the Acetate Card Boxes (4 1/4 x 5 1/2) that I cute in half. I have 3 packs of these boxes in my stash that were from Papertreyink from years ago! This is a fast way to make a pretty treat for the holidays!

Once I put my regular sized Kit Kat inside the acetate box I put a piece of cardstock inside behind the candy bar. Then tied a piece of Pool Party ribbon completely around the box to hold the cardstock & candy bar inside. Then I decorated it with the gingerbread man from the Sending Cheer Bundle. This bundle is super sweet & perfect for creating Christmas treats this year!

Project Details:

Stamps: Sending Cheer, Amuse Sentiment

Ink: Real Red, Pecan Pie, Memento Black

Cardstock: Pool Party, Real Red, Basic White, Celebrate Everything DSP (retired 2022)

Accessories: Acetate Boxes (Papertreyink), Sending Cheer Dies, Double Oval Punch, Red Rhinestones, Pool Party Ribbon, Dimensionals, Tombow Multipurpose Liquid Glue

I used the regular sized Kit Kats on these not the mini bite sized ones. 

I found them at Target. 

Well, that is all for me today!

I am washing bedsheets/quilts and just gonna take a relaxing, quiet day!

Tomorrow morning is my Christmas Stamp Day w/ Friends get together!

Later in the day I will be delivering Audrey's Christmas card order & treats.

Sunday we are in for a very rainy day so who knows....maybe I will stay in bed all day! LOL

Bridal Shower & Wedding Cards

Good Morning & Happy Monday!

I hope you all had a nice weekend! 

It was very hot & humid here which was a bit too much, too soon!

My AC ran since Friday afternoon until this morning. We had thunderstorms off & on since Friday and last night it finally brought us a cold front. 

Today I am sharing a few pictures of a bridal shower card & the wedding card that was requested from my card lady for a family relative that was getting married in April. The bridal shower was back in February.

Your going to notice a cheese grater in these shower pictures.

My card lady requested a tag that matched the shower card to attach to the cheese grater. It was a little joke that she shares with the soon to be bride.

A friend helped me out with the champagne glasses diecuts since I did not have anything like that. 

Bridal Shower Card:

Stamps: Forever Fern, Art Gallery (sentiment)

Ink: Mossy Meadow

Cardstock: Mossy Meadow, Basic White, Gold Foil Paper

Accessories: Double Oval Punch, Unknown Champagne Glasses Diecuts, Glue Dots, Gold Cord, Mossy Meadow Satin Ribbon (retired), Gold Rhinestones, Gold Eyelet, Dimensionals, Tombow Multipurpose Liquid Glue

Here is the wedding card...

Wedding Card Details:

Stamps: Forever Fern, Love & Happiness

Ink: Mossy Meadow

Cardstock: Mossy Meadow, Basic White, Gold Foil Paper

Accessories: Bouquet of Love Hybrid Embossing Folder, Gold Rhinestones, Dimensionals, Tombow Multipurpose Liquid Glue

My card lady was so happy with both of these cards because they matched the invitations!

I did not save that picture that was on my phone or I would have shared it with you.

Springtime Joy Treats

 Hello & Happy Wednesday!

Yesterday was a really nice day! 

Shawn & I took advantage of it and went to the Rail Trail for a 3 mile walk.

There was a few police around since they have been looking for a young woman that went missing on Saturday. Her car & cell phone was left in the parking lot where we get on the Rail Trail. 

Not sure what the story is but I don't think she has been found yet.

Anyways, today we are in for another beautiful warm day!

Those 2 snow piles in my yard are almost melted! YAY!

Today I have a sweet treat to share that I made up for Easter!

I used the Springtime Joy stamp set that is in the 2021 January - June Mini Catalog.

It's adorable!

The boxes are the Love You Always Treat Boxes.

Project Details:

Stamps: Springtime Joy, Arrange A Wreath, Punch Party (Hostess)

Ink: Memento Black, Stampin Blends, Blushing Bride, Highland Heather, Mint Macaron, Petal Pink

Cardstock: Blushing Bride, Highland Heather, Mint Macaron, Petal Pink, Whisper White, Various DSP (retired)

Accessories: Circle Layering Framelits, Double Oval Punch, Rhinestones, Various Ribbon (retired), Dimensionals, Tombow Multipurpose Liquid Glue

I have to say that I really love how these turned out!

I love the colors and I used a bunch of retired DSP & Ribbon!

Each box is filled with a Reese's Peanut Butter Egg, 4 Kit Kats Bite Sized Bars and 3 Dove Chocolates.

I wouldn't mind getting one of these for Easter! Yum!

Punch Party HB Card

 Hello & Happy Monday!

I hope everyone had a wonderful weekend & a nice Valentine's Day!

Today I have another card to share from Saturday's get together.

Y'all know I have so much paper and lots & lots of stamps so I pull out whatever I have and use it! 

Both girls loved this card and it certainly is a favorite of mine, too!

On this card I used a bit of old & new to create a pretty birthday card!

The flowers in the paper are beautiful and the colors just pop!

My sentiment panel is from the Punch Party hostess set from the 2021 SaleABration Catalog.

The saying was stamped in Calypso Coral and the wonky oval frame was stamped with Rich Razzleberry and punched out with the Double Oval Punch which is from the 2021 Jan.-June Mini catalog! It coordinates with the Oval Occasions stamp set on page 65.

We then popped it up with Dimensionals and layered it onto a Scallop Oval Layering Framelit.

The Calypso Coral Ribbon is long retired as is the Rich Razzleberry Enamel Dot.

Card Details:

Stamps: Punch Party (SAB Hostess Set)

Ink: Calypso Coral, Rich Razzleberry

Cardstock: Rich Razzleberry, Calypso Coral, Whisper White, Petal Garden DSP (retired)

Accessories: Double Oval Punch, Oval Layering Framelits, Calypso Coral 1/8 Ribbon (retired), Rich Razzleberry Enamel Dots (retired), Glue Dots, Dimensionals, Tombow Multipurpose Liquid Glue

I love letting the paper do all the work!
