Why I joined the fun!!!!
I have been a Stampin Up! Demonstrator for over 5 years, but have been crafting and creating scrapbooks and cards for over 15 years!! I fell in love with this product back in 2002 when my friend invited me to a card making class. 6 years ago I was looking for a creative outlet and really fell in love with the thought of having a discount but it ended up being so much more!!!
Being a Stampin’ Up! Demonstrator has been so rewarding. Not only do I get to be creative every day, but I am part of such a wonderful community where we share, get ideas and inspiration, but most of all become friends who are like family to me. For me, helping someone put together that perfect project for a special occasion is the best feeling in the entire world. After all, creating cards, scrapbook pages, and gift items is about more than just stamps and ink—it’s about sharing a part of yourself with the people you love.

Hey, My Crafting Friends!!
Look at this super cute box of fun!!! This gift box of tags makes a wonderful gift for your friends and family looking for the perfect way to give their gift wrapping something extra special. Who else loves non-traditional Christmas/Holiday colors as I do?
I created this fun gift box of tags during my online Stampin’ Bingo Event I held a few weeks ago. My friends had a blast making this super cute gift using the The Snowflake Wishes Bundle that can be given at any time through the season.
There is one TIP I would love to share with you. I was not sold on just a white ribbon for the top of my tags so I took out my dark Purple Posy Stampin’ Blend Marker and colored it to match the tags. What I absolutely love about our Stampin’ Blends is that they are alcohol based markers, so there is no running and it will match any color you color them with your projects. NOTE: REAL RED WAS USED IN THIS PHOTO…..I just wanted to show you how amazing any color will work with our ribbons.
To start creating this fun project, I started out with our adorable mini Paper Pumpkin Box lying flat for easier access to sponge your desired color on. Now I used Balmy Blue on my project, however, any of the above colors would look fantastic. In fact, any of our blues and purples would look just great!!
Before we get started on those cute little tags, I started with decorating the front of the box. Click HERE to see all the amazing options to choose from with the beautiful Snowflake Splender Designer Series Paper. I happen to choose the first beautiful blue and purple snowflakes to pull in other color options. To add a little pizzaz to my project I decided to pull in the NEW Balmy Blue Glitter Paper to die cut using the So Many Snowflakes die set from this amazing suite!!
The sentiment I chose in this set was “May Your Season Sparkle” I chose this because I am not sure if I am going to use this for a Birthday gift, Housewarming gift, or Just Because. What I love about the Snowflake Wishes set it’s so versatile. You have a choice from a Thank You, Happy Hanukkah, (which I will be using quite often) Friendship, Christmas, or Just Because.
Below please see the MEASUREMENTS for this project:
PROJECT MEASUREMENTS:
- Snowflake Splender DSP: 3 1/2 x 5 1/4 (For Box Front)
- 2×4 Purple Posy Cardstock (Tag)
- 1 7/8 x 3 1/4 Whisper White Cardstock (Tag Front) The To: From: stamped image came from Cherish the Season stamp set
As always, thank you so much for stopping by today. I sure hope you enjoyed todays project. Be sure to check out the links below to create your own Box of Tags Project. If you don’t have a US Stampin’ Up Demonstrator, I’d love the opportunity to earn your business and take care of your crafting supply needs.

My project this month really ties in well with my 3-D Project. I am excited to showcase the new stamp set Celebrate Sunflowers, that will be available starting June 3rd in the new 2020-2021 Annual Catalog.
Card Details:
- Card Base: Magenta Madness (New 2020-2022 In-Color) cut at 5 1/2″ x 8 1/2″ scored at 4 1/4″ and fold the card in half.
- Layer 1: Magenta Madness Polka Dot DSP (New 2020-2022 In-Color 6×6 Designer Series Paper) cut at 4″ x 5 1/4″
- Top Layer: Whisper White cut at 3 3/4″ x 5″. Using your Tuxedo Black Momento Ink Pad and the Jar of Flowers Stamp Set, stamp your jar image and sunflower image.

- Now it is time to color!! Using the Stampin’ Blends Maker in Dark Pool Party, color your water in the jar. I colored a little over half-way, but you can color all the way to top if you choose to do so. When coloring the Sunflower Image I used Dark Mango Melody for the petals, Dark Soft Suade for the center of the flower, and Dark Granny Apple Green for the leaves.
- Lastly, Using the thin Silver and Misty Moonlight Bakers Twine from the Flowers for Every Season Ribbon Combo Pack, tie a bow. Use a Mini Glue Dot to add to the front of the jar.

One of my favorite projects was used with the Everything is Rosey Designer Series Paper.
This was such a super fun technique. Be sure to stop on by later this week and learn how to use up all those scraps. I learned this technique from a fellow stamper’s husband. That’s right, men do love to show their creativity as well.
Also, there are so many cute Embossing Folders on the rack as well!!! This is such a fun way to add some dimension to your projects. One of my favorites is the Scattered Sequins Folder.
It’s easy to make a great impression! Just place a flat piece of cardstock in this embossing folder, run it through a die-cutting and embossing machine of your choice, and out comes a beautiful textured design.
If you do not already have a Stampin’ Up Demonstrator in the US, I would love the opportunity to earn your business.

Hello my Crafting Friends!! Welcome back to my blog. It is so hard to believe that Easter is just a few days away!!! I know with all the craziness that is going on in the world right now with COVID-19. This is certainly not going to be the normal Easter that many of us are used to.
For this project today I decided to get out my Stampin’ Up! Welcome Easter set. I wanted to create something for my friends that have little ones at home. This set brings a smile to my face seeing the adorable little characters.
For the Easter Project, I wanted to add some texture for the background, as well as a cute, spring daisy flower. I used the Basket Weave Embossing Folder and the medium Daisy Punch. For a more full look I doubled up on the flower and off set them with a glue dot.
In both projects I used the 2″ Circle Punch along with the 2nd largest scalloped Layering Circle Die Cut.
What I love about the Welcome Easter set, is it’s versatility. This is such a cute Easter set, but also a sweet way to welcome a little one.
Easter Card Measurements:
- Thick Whisper White Card Base 4 1/4 x 11 Folded in half)
- Daffodil Delight Layer one 4 1/8 x 5 3/8
- Whisper White Embossed layer 4 x 5 1/4
- Stamped Image on 2″ Circle Punch, Layered onto 2nd Largest Scalloped Layering Die with Stampin Dimensional
- Stamped Happy Easter Sentiment and fussy cut out with my snips
Welcome Little One Card Measurements:
Below listed are all the items I used for today If you do not already have a Stampin’ Up Demonstrator in the US, I would love the opportunity to earn your business. To purchase these items, just simply click on the items listed below and that will take you directly to my store.
Thank you so much for stopping by. Until next time, Happy Stamping!!!
