Fall Tissue Packs

 Hello & Happy Sunday!

Just a quick post as it was a busy day.

I wanted to share these pretty tissue packs I had in my stash for quite awhile. I am trying to use up lots of different things that are packed in my stamp drawers. These tissues I picked up at Ollie's maybe 4-5 years ago and they just got pushed to the back of the drawer. 

Project Details:

Stamps: Impressions Obsession, Gather Together (retired)

Ink: Pumpkin Pie

Cardstock: Pumpkin Pie, Pecan Pie, Basic White, Gold Foil Paper, Reminisce Hello Autumn

Accessories: Gathered Leaves Dies, Stylish Shapes Dies, Circle Layering Framelits (retired), Irregular Weave Trim, Streaked Dots, 1 inch Circle Punch (Fiskars), Simply Score Board, Dimensionals, Tombow Multipurpose Liquid Glue

I gave a pack of these to Audrey as a Thank You gift on one of her recent orders. She said they are perfect to carry in her purse.

Twisted Ribbon Technique

Good Morning & Happy Thursday!

Hope your week is going well. 

Yesterday I made my way to my stamp table to play a little with a new technique called Twisted Ribbon. Actually it's been around a while but I only just tried my hand at it. You know me, I am always late to the party on trying something new! I found a video tutorial from Terri Gaines whom is a Stampin Up demonstrator. Here is the link if your interested in trying this. 

Twisted Ribbon

Since Valentine's Day is coming I pulled out some retired Country Floral DSP from last year and tried my hand at the Twisted Ribbon Technique. It's pretty easy and definitely gives your card a different look. And also it's a great way to use up those 1/2 inch strips of paper!

Card Details:

Stamps: Country Bouquet

Ink: Balmy Blue, Mint Macaron (retired)

Cardstock: Thick Basic White, Basic White, Balmy Blue, Country Floral DSP

Accessories: Stylish Shapes Dies, Circle Layering Framelits (retired), Country Bouquet Punch, Simply Score Board, Pastel Adhesive Backed Sequins (retired), Dimensionals, Stampin Seal Adhesive

This was my first try so I hope to make more soon!

Hot Chocolate Boxes

 Hello & Happy Thursday!

Today I have a cute little box to share that is used to hold a packet of hot chocolate for the holidays! Marisa from over at Kitchen Table Stamper showed us how to make this box back around Halloween but I thought it would be perfect for Christmas!

Here is the link if your interested in making any!

Hot Chocolate Box

She has a video tutorial on there as well as a PDF to print if your interested.

I love her tutorials and have learned alot from her! She is so sweet in sharing her idea's and loves to help people stay crafty!

Project Details:

Stamps: Merriest Trees, Framed & Festive (retired)

Ink: Pretty Peacock, Balmy Blue

Cardstock: Pretty Peacock, Balmy Blue, Basic White, Beary Cute DSP

Accessories: Merriest Trees Dies, Circle Layering Framelits (retired), Classic Label Punch (retired), Corner Rounder Punch (retired), Wintry 3D EF (retired), Iridescent Ribbon, Iridescent Pearls, Simply Score Board, Dimensionals, Glue Dots, Tombow Multipurpose Liquid Glue

I whipped 4 up in no time and plan to make more once I get more hot chocolate. I used Swiss Miss Hot Chocolate packets. As you can see in the picture I displayed a packet of the Salted Caramel Hot Chocolate but I will be using the regular Swiss Miss in these. I wasn't crazy about the Salted Caramel but that's just me. Guess I am just a plain jane when it comes to my hot chocolate or my coffee. I gifted Kelsey with this box of Salted Caramel Hot Chocolate because she likes that kind of stuff!

That's all for today!

I am off to get my day started and get my downstairs cleaned for Saturday's Stamp Day!

Little Debbie Nutty Buddy Boxes

 Hello & Happy Monday to you!

We're starting the day off with a foggy, misty rain which they say may change over to snow before this weather system leaves us. 

I think it's too warm for snow so we will see!

Today I have a sweet treat to share with you that I made for Valentine's Day!

One day last week I was bored and was on You Tube. I follow Kitchen Table Stamper on there and found a video she had made in December 2020 using the Little Debbie Nutty Buddy Bars. She made the cutest Christmas box for them. I decided the next day I was going to make these except change them up to a Valentine's Day theme! I recently picked up 2 boxes of the Little Debbie treats at my local Giant grocery store but have seen them at many different places.

This is what the box looks like incase you want to make some of these! I will also add the link at the bottom if your interested.

Project Details:

Stamps: Country Bouquet

Ink: Petal Pink, Mint Macaron, Sweet Sorbet

Cardstock: Petal Pink, Sweet Sorbet, Basic White, Country Floral Lane DSP

Accessories: Simply Score Board, Stitched Rectangle Framelits, Stylish Shapes Dies, Circle Layering Framelits, Country Bouquet Punch, Corner Rounder Punch (retired), White Glittered Ribbon, Pastel Adhesive Backed Sequins, Dimensionals, Tombow Multipurpose Liquid Glue

These are so much fun to create and I enjoyed decorating the front once the treat was inside!

There is also room inside to slip a couple bucks in for the kids which is sure to be the sweetest part of this treat box!

Here is the link if you would like to make some...

Little Debbie Nutty Buddy Box

I will most likely make these again because I know my family loves these!

I remember my Dad use to always have a pack of these laying on the kitchen table every night as he always took them to work the next day with his lunch. A pack of Nutty Buddy's and a banana! He surely would have loved this treat! <3

Skeleton Boxes for Trick or Treat

 Hello & Happy Wednesday!

This week seems to be flying by!

Yesterday I finished up my puzzle then I had some work to do at my stamp table.

Here is the puzzle...

It was pretty easy until I got to the trees. At that point all the pieces looked the same!

I love the challenge of doing a puzzle when time allows. I have a Christmas one downstairs that I hope to get started on in a few weeks.

Today I have another sweet treat to share that I made for Halloween.

Marisa from Kitchen Table Stamper made these sweet little boxes on one of her FB Lives over the summer. I printed out the tutorial and made some for Trick or Treat!

If you know me you know that I am always pleased when everything coordinates.

I have learned over the years that it is pleasing to the eye when it all matches and presentation is everything! My dear friend, Pam, taught me that from years of doing the Llama Loop Farm Craft Show. Sadly, just recently she sold her farm and moved. I have so many fond memories of being on the farm and spending time with Pam. The farm became too much for them to take care of anymore and I know it was bittersweet for them to leave it. And so that is why I always try to match things up when creating cards or treats! Anyways, I made these boxes after finding the Kit Kat candy bars at my local Giant store. And those smiling skeletons are fussy cut from last year's Cute Halloween DSP.

Project Details:

Stamps: Wonderfully Wicked (retired)

Ink: Highland Heather

Cardstock: Highland Heather, Basic White, Cute Halloween DSP (retired)

Accessories: Simply Score Board, Stitched Rectangle Framelits, Velcro Dots, Iridescent Black Dots (retired), Dimensionals, Tombow Multipurpose Liquid Glue

Each box has one Kit Kat in. I tried to squeeze 2 in it but I has afraid of the box tearing. 

I have a few of these left so I will start handing them out to some neighbors and others we see in our travels this week. We decided not to hand candy out this year for Trick or Treat night. Last few years we only had maybe 20 kids and with me still coughing I am not going to go out and sit in the cold air and make things worse.

Little Debbie Christmas Tree Boxes

Good Morning & Happy Tuesday!

Hope your week is off to a good start!

The sun is shining beautifully but it is quite cold & breezy out.

We had a little snow over night that is still covering the grass this morning.

Today I am sharing my Little Debbie Christmas Tree boxes that I whipped up!

These were so fun to make!

And the Little Debbie cakes inside are perfect to go with the Tree on the outside!

Project Details:

Stamps: Itty Bitty Christmas

Ink: Cherry Cobbler, Shaded Spruce, Night of Navy

Cardstock: Cherry Cobbler, Shaded Spruce, Night of Navy, Whisper White, Gold Foil Paper, Wrapped in Plaid Specialty DSP

I used a tutorial by Erica Cerwin to make this box but I ended up tweaking it a bit.

So pleased with the outcome!

These would make an awesome stocking stuffer or little treats at the dinner table for Christmas!

My son will be getting one of these since he loves the Little Debbie Cakes!

Ghiradelli Treat Holder

Hello & Happy Sunday!

 Hope your weekend is going well!

Yesterday we were out shopping and popped into Hobby Lobby, the place was nuts!

I picked up a couple of things and high tailed it out of there!

Tis the season, right?

Today I am off for a haircut and then grabbing a few things at Walmart.

I'm looking for a lighted wreath for the side garage door now that we finally have a storm door on there. I have not decorated for Christmas yet but trying to get my ducks in a row before Thanksgiving comes. I don't want to get caught up in the Black Friday shopping craziness!

Today I am sharing another Thanksgiving Treat Holder using Ghiradelli Chocolates.

This cute little treat holder was designed by Anne Marie Hile and I loved how simple they were to create! After watching her video on FB Live, I wanted to try my own!

The sentiment comes from the Gather Together stamp set.

The leaves come from the Gathered Leaves Dies. 

I did my one leaf in Gold Foil Paper to match my Ghiradelli Candy.

Project Details:

Stamps: Gather Together

Ink: Merry Merlot, Pretty Peacock

Cardstock: Merry Merlot, Pretty Peacock, Crumb Cake, Whisper White, Gold Foil Paper, Cajun Craze, Come to Gather DSP

Acessories: Simply Score Board, Stitched Nested Dies, Gathered Leaves Dies, Beautiful Bouquet Framelits, Gold Metallic Enamel Dots (retired), Dimensionals, Tombow Multipurpose Liquid Glue

These are a perfect little sweet treat for on your table for Thanksgiving Day!
