Ghiradelli Treat Holder

 Good Morning & Happy Saturday!

This morning I am off to get a haircut and grab a few groceries while we are out. I have everything ready for our Easter dinner tomorrow which will just be the 3 of us since Kelsey is working all day. They are back to having Easter dinner at the restaurant in person but it's by reservation only. The last 3 years it has been take out dinners only with Covid. So glad we are finally moving on from that and life is getting back to normal. 

I said yesterday that I had a cute Easter treat to share today that I made for my gang. This uses the Mini Pocket Envelope Dies which I think might be on the retired list or even being moved to the Online Exclusives list. I will have to check that and let you know. These dies came out in the 2022-2023 Stampin Up Annual Catalog and I used them a handful of times. It is a great die for making a gift card holder or even a cash holder. I thought it would work well to create a small treat holder for my Ghiradelli Milk Chocolate Bunny!

And I just had to use that stinkin cute Easter Bunny again!

I just love how cute and easy it is to stamp & punch him out and he works in many different colors, too!

Project Details:

Stamps: Easter Bunny

Ink: Fresh Freesia, Petal Pink, Balmy Blue, Coastal Cabana

Cardstock: Petal Pink, Fresh Freesia, Coastal Cabana, Balmy Blue, Dandy Designs DSP (retired-SAB 2023)

Accessories: Mini Pocket Envelope Dies, Easter Bunny Punch, Iridescent Rhinestones, White Glittered Ribbon, Glue Dots, Dimensionals, Tombow Multipurpose Liquid Glue

I am going to give these to the kids and add a few bucks to them for their Easter gifts. They can buy what they want with the cash or save it for a rainy day! I am also going to give some to our elderly neighbors and my hairdresser today! Just a little something to sweeten their holiday!

You're Flippin Awesome

 Hello & Happy Saturday!

We are in for a super nice weekend which I am looking forward too!

For one, I am happy that I can turn my ac off!

Two, there isn't much on the agenda other than I am off for a haircut this afternoon.

And three, I hope to get some fun stamp time in! My friend Deb surprised me yesterday and brought out the Lighthouse Point Bundle for me to play with and i'm super stoked about that!

Last evening, Shawn got the concrete slab on the back porch painted. It looks so nice! He did that while I made supper for us & cleaned up.

Later today we will put the furniture and my beloved glider back out and get the blinds hung and my hanging baskets! I will try to remember to take a picture to share with you!

So I was summoned to make Shawn a Father's Day card last week from Ryan.

I pulled out my He's All That Bundle from the new Annual Catalog and got to work.

I know it's got a bow on it but I don't think Shawn will mind, I mean after all it's brown!

The little saying tags came with the He's The Man DSP and can be used for possibly a scrapbook page or on cards! I love this and wish Stampin Up! would do that more!

I pulled out the You're Flipping Awesome because Shawn is the grill master in our house!

I have never ever used the grill and don't plan too any time soon! He loves it so I say "go for it"!

Inside I used the new Mini Pocket Envelope Dies to create that little pocket for inside.

Ryan can add a gift card or cash to it. The Best Dad saying is another one of those little tags that came with the DSP. I then stamped the Happy Father's Day saying on a die from the All That Dies and glued it down. Lastly, I added some Rustic Metallic Adhesive Dots.

I really liked it when I was done!

Card Details:

Stamps: He's All That

Ink: Early Espresso

Cardstock: Sahara Sand, Basic White, Cajun Craze, He's The Man DSP

Accessories: All That Dies, Mini Pocket Envelope Dies, Early Espresso Ribbon, Rustic Metallic Adhesive Dots, Glue Dots, Dimensionals, Tombow Multipurpose Liquid Glue

I hope Shawn likes it!

We always say that Ryan is learning to make some very nice cards when he gives one of us a card! He laughs!

That is all for me today!

Stop back tomorrow.....I hope to have some lighthouse cards to share with you!
