Festive Friends for Valentine's Day

 Hello & Happy Sunday, Friends!

I do hope your all staying warm & safe in this extreme cold!
We popped out yesterday early evening to the restaurant for a cup of hot soup and a quick meal to warm our bellies and let me say...that wind made it feel very bone chilling (-17 degrees)! Thankfully, this year I got a new winter coat which helped. The restaurant was filled so we did not get to chit chat with Kelsey too much as she was serving a funeral party & a birthday party for a 99 yr old man. We were in & out within 45 minutes and back home with full bellies! 

Today I am sharing a sweet project with you that Marisa from over at the Kitchen Table Stamper created during her 2026 Valentine's Day series she was doing the last few weeks. I loved all her projects even though I do not always use any of her box templates. This one stuck with me as it was blue and had a snowman on it. I changed it up to create some treats for a friend that requested 5 Valentine's treats. This is what I made for her...




Project Details:

Stamps: Festive Friends, Forever Lovely (retired sentiment 2019)
Ink: Real Red, Memento Black, Stampin Blends-Real Red & Flirty Flamingo
Cardstock: Real Red, Flirty Flamingo, Basic White, Made With Love DSP
Accessories: Festive Friends Dies, Hearts of Elegance Dies, Classic Label Punch (retired), 3/4 in Circle Punch, Flirty Flamingo Enamel Hearts (retired), Dimensionals, Tombow Multipurpose Liquid Glue

These turned out so cute and the friend loved them!
The box is very sturdy and I may even use this template again! I was able to fit in a regular Reese's Peanut Butter Heart and a pack of M&M's that she asked for. 
Thanks Marisa, for always sharing your creative idea's and inspiring us along the way!

Happy Winter

 Hello & Happy Tuesday, Friends!

Today I am sharing a card I made recently with some new & retired Stampin Up! products. I sometimes make Happy Spring, Happy Summer and Happy Fall cards but never anything to celebrate winter. I pulled out the current Snowflake Kisses bundle and noticed some of the sentiments were perfect for a Happy Winter card! Now, I am not a fan of winter weather but I know a few that are...





Card Details:

Stamps: Snowflake Kisses (Online Exclusives), Festive Friends (Online Exclusives)
Ink: Versamark, Garden Green, Real Red
Cardstock: Real Red, Garden Green, Christmas Tags & More Specialty Kit
Accessories: Snowflake Kisses Dies (Online Exclusives), Many Mittens Framelits (retired 2017),  Green/White Ribbon (Online Exclusives), White Embossing Powder, Heat Gun, Red Rhinestones, Glue Dots, Dimensionals, Tombow Multipurpose Liquid Glue

The Christmas Tags & More Specialty Kit comes with punch out and some great patterns of designer series papers. I had a few scraps in my pack and that is what I used on this card. 
I was pleased with how it turned out! Now I just need to get it addressed and in the mail!

Happy Winter to you!

Hot Chocolate Snowman Bags

 Hello & Happy Thursday, Friends!

I'm going to make this a quick post this morning as I am having the girls over for a Christmas Stamp Day w/ Friends! I have 4 cards all prepared for us to make while eating some yummy snacks and listening to some holiday music! I always enjoy this day with my friends!

Today I have a cute treat to share with you using the Festive Friends bundle from the Stampin Up! Online Exclusives. This was not on my radar at all as I did not care for the images but after I seen SO many projects done with it...well, let's just say that Shawn talked me into getting it! This is the very 1st project I've made with it, too!

These are hot chocolate cello bags that hold a pk of Swiss Miss hot chocolate, a test tube filled with Kraft Mini Marshmallows, 3 Hershey Kisses, a Ghiradelli Peppermint Bark Square and a Frosty the Snowman marshmallow that I found at Walmart. 





Project Details:

Stamps: Festive Friends (Online Exclusives), Snowflake Kisses (Online Exclusives)
Ink: Memento Black, Garden Greem, Balmy Blue, Stampin Blends-Balmy Blue & Real Red, Copic Marker YG96
Cardstock: Basic White
Accessories: Festive Friends Dies (Online Exclusives), Balmy Blue Sheer Ribbon, Traditions Sparkle Sequins, Cello Bags, Dimensionals

These were so fun to put together and I already gave one away to Kelsey.
She loved the Frosty marshmallow! LOL

Hope you enjoyed my yummy treats today! I think these will be perfect for the winter months since they say we are in for a cold winter. Hot chocolate will help warm the soul!
