YUM Goodie Bags! It's a Paper Pumpkin Kit!

I know I've mentioned Paper Pumpkin before. It's a monthly kit that arrives in your mailbox and has everything (except adhesive) you need to complete a project in about 30 minutes or so. Plus it's less than $25 a month!

This is a project from last month (January) that I'm just now getting put together. I knew when I saw it I wanted to use it as "thank yous" to my class participants as well as to a few special people.

The kits came with EVERYTHING - I didn't even have to use adhesive on this one cause they included glue dots on it. The kit came with everything to make 24 bags of goodies. The stamps included in the kit had Happy Valentines' Day but also had this ENJOY and YUM which is perfect for AFTER Valentine's Day!

And since I'm a monthly subscriber I can purchase extra kits if available. Which I totally did!! Yep, Abby will be having these next year for her class!

I hope you had a great weekend! Here is to a great week! Happy Monday :D Thanks for stopping by!

Happy Valentine's Day!

I hope you are enjoying your Valentine's Day! I'm treating myself to some ME time and catch up on my to-do lists! Hubby is at an Eye Conference so we will celebrate another time. 
Remember this picture (you would have seen it on my Instagram or Facebook page..are you following? Click on links at right to following me!!)

I stamped, colored and cut all those one afternoon. I needed them so we could make Abby's Valentine's.

They were a big hit with the kiddos! Hope you get some extra love, chocolate and attention on this special day! Thanks for stopping by!!

A Sweet Tweet for You!

Happy Saturday to you! As I write this we are "supposed" to get some snow. I have to stress "supposed" as it's been said that a lot this winter and we've had maybe a dusting. I think we need a good 'ol fashion SNOW DAY!!
Today I'm sharing a Valentine Treat Box. The box is a tutorial from my awesome up-line Becky Roberts. It is made using the French Fry Box Die - just in a new way!

So cute and it holds quite a bit. The papers (Stacked with Love Designer Series Paper Stack) & stamp set (Hey, Valentine) are from the Occasion Catalog. I told you that stamp set was one of my favorites!

I got some Valentine chocolate and put it in a 4 x 6 cellophane bag.

Isn't it just adorable? I LOVE how it turned out! Someone special is getting this one :D

Hey Valentine Treat Bag

Happy Saturday to you! This weekend my daughter is participating in the Spring Fling so I'm surrounded by 5th Grade Orchestra Kiddos! She's very excited to get some additional Viola instruction though and hubby & I get to go back to the 'ol college stomping ground so it's a win-win. 

I wanted to share a little treat bag I made. In the Occasions Catalog there is a Mini Treat Bag Thinlits Dies. When I saw it I knew it was the first thing I was going to order!

Using the dies you are able to assemble treat bags. On this one I used Vellum. You can see from the pictures that it's a decent size bag. I put a full size Hershey bar in mine (which I had to cover with pretty paper).

You don't just get dies for the bag - you get TONS of extras too! I haven't even had an opportunity to use them yet but I know I will. On the Stampin' Up! YouTube Channel there is a video on how this die works along with some wonderful samples.

The first stamp set from the Occasions Catalog I knew I was going to get was Hey, Valentine. It's PERFECT for making gifts for Abby's classmates, teachers and staff as well as my Preschool kiddos and fellow co-workers. PLUS it involves coloring which always makes me happy!! Another win-win!
Thanks so much for stopping by today!

Believe in Christmas Treat Box!

Here's another little treat box that's perfect to give those special people in your life. This is made using the Curvy Keepsake Box Thinlits Dies. I LOVE this die - you cut two, assemble and you have a cute treat container. This one is full of chocolate - how much chocolate you ask? Well how about 3 miniature candy bars, 3 Rolos and 3 Hershey Kisses!

Elf Fry Boxes

There are so many cute things that you can do with the Fry Box from Stampin' Up! I just love how these elf boxes turned out! They make perfect favors for guests, neighbors and co-workers. The Fry Box die is so easy to use too - the die scores and cuts making it VERY easy to put together.  Thanks for stopping by!

Blooming Birthday Treat Sack

I love little goodies. I'm such a sucker for cute little treat sacks and I just LOVE how this one turned out. This is one of the projects that we did for Stamp Club last month. I considered this the "step-up" project because we did two-step stamping, die-cutting and altering the sack into a bag.

I found it easiest to give a 5 1/2 x 8 1/2 sheet of Whisper White cardstock to each club member. They then stamped all the flowers using different inks. Once finished they cut them using the Big Shot and the magnetic plate which is a MUST when dealing with Framelits. Keeps everything in it's place!

We trimmed the sack at the very bottom. Next tear away the bag bottom and then score at 1 1/2". Score each side at 1" and score the top at 1 1/2". Open the sack and fold the sides in. Cut a little edge off on the bottom so the tabs will fold in and glue. That's it...I folded the top over and used a clothespin (covered with Coastal Cabana cardstock) to keep it closed. I added a little of that shredded paper into the sack and plan on putting in a little chocolate and a gift card. So cute! 
Hope you've enjoyed this project! Thanks so much for stopping by!
