Savings in a Box

Stampin’ Up! did it again.  I am so excited about this month’s Starter kit. It is the perfect Savings in a Box.

Start With Savings – Starter Kit Promotion – November 4-30!

I would love to share with you my Stampin’ Up! story.  15 years ago a co-worker gave me a handmade Birthday card and I absolutely fell in love with it.  I asked her if she made it and she said yes, would you like for me to teach you how?  I teach classes.  Without hesitation, I said YES!!!  I immediately fell in love with the quality of the product!!  I loved how everything matched perfectly, from the paper, to the ink pads, and to the markers.

Fast forward to 2014, when I suddenly had to become a full-time caregiver for my mom and I needed a creative outlet.  I remembered how much I loved paper crafting and since I could not sew a button on a shirt and make beautiful things like my mother could I knew that I could handle this and be able to put a smile on someone’s face.  So I joined not only to get a 20% discount on all my favorite crafting supplies, but I joined an incredible community that is truly family!!  Sadly, my mother lost her battle to Alzheimer’s in 2016, but I am beyond blessed to have such a wonderful community behind me and a creative outlet to not only keep me smiling but others around me as well.

Great Teacher/Co-Worker Gift

Today’s project I thought I would show you a great Teacher/Co-worker gift.  This is a great inexpensive gift for the Holidays, but it also is a great gift year-round as a Thank You, Birthday, or Just Because.  This Easel Desktop Calendar is quick, simple, and fun to put together.  In fact, it comes together so nicely that you can make multiples in a short amount of time.

I had fun showcasing these two different designs in my Weekly Crafting Facebook Live this week.  Currently, I am in Craft Fair Mode and these are always one of my top sellers.  I am doing an up-and-coming craft fair in November for a special Cause.  We are doing a pet-themed event and I thought the adorable Sweet Stockings Designer Paper was the perfect background for this easel card. Most of the Animal prints are Christmas-related, however, this specific pattern is perfect for year-round.

Here is one of my favorite patterns in the In Good Taste Designer paper out of the 2021-2022 Annual Catalog.  I am also using one of my favorite sentiments from the Color and Contour Stamp Set, “You’re Absolutely Amazing”.  This is the perfect encouragement sentiment.

PRODUCTS USED:

 

Easy Fun Fold Christmas Card

Today’s project is this adorable easy Fun Fold Christmas Card.  I got this idea from my friend Lisa Curcio.  I absolutely love love love fun folds and this one has quickly become one of my favorites. This layout you can easily do multiples in.  The best part is you don’t have to just focus on a Christmas Theme.  This layout can be used for anything.  Thank You, Birthday, Halloween, Grateful, whatever your heart’s content.

The Stamp Set used in today’s Project is Be Jolly and I paired it along with the adorable Gingerbread and Peppermint Designer Paper.

 

What I love about this Buckle card, I am showing you how easy it is to use dies for your buckle vs. a punch.  The die I used in this project is the smallest rectangle die from Stitched Rectangles.
