Fancy Favor Box

 

I was saving today's project to show you later.....after I fixed a couple boo boos.  If you look real close you can see the fishing line holding the Sparkly & Bright reindeer is not straight, the greeting is a tad too big and I wanted to add Rebar Tie Wire and make some cute handles (that means you'll see this project again).

I'll warn you......I'm in love with this Fancy Favor box and you might get tired of seeing me use it.  It's the perfect size to hold so many goodies.  It measures 3 1/8 x 3 1/2 and it's 2 1/8 inches wide.  It's the same box I showed you two days ago (scroll down to see it).   

Have a great day & thanks for stopping by!

p.s.  I've been super busy as a mom & wife. I'm not embarrassed to say I'm struggling with balance.  I'm sure many of you can relate..... it's just a typical summer with 2 kids, 2 dogs, hubby, house, cooking, cleaning, business...the list goes on.   Once school starts back, I'll gain more control & be more productive!! (I could write a book about all this but I won't keep you).  See ya!

Bitty Box

 

Good afternoon,

Today's project is something I made just for fun (I put some Chick-O-Sticks inside it).  I couldn't wait to get my hands on the new Bitty Box & Envelope die for the Big Shot and I just love the new Ronald McDonald set.....it's the Very Thankful stamp set and I'm going to use it a bunch this year.

Did you notice the turtle is missing the little barrow with hearts?  I decided to alter my stamp and I trimmed it.  I attached the words "very thankful" to the side of the wood. I figured I would use the turtle more by itself.....isn't he cute?  I may have to make a spinner card with him very soon!!

I used the brand new Perfect Details Texturz Plate for the background.

If you ordered a Ribbon Share, the ribbon arrived yesterday & I'm cutting & packaging as fast as I can.  I expect every order should be mailed by Friday (but maybe sooner). 

Gotta get back to cutting....see ya tomorrow!

Sparkly & Bright Fancy Favor Box

 

Hi!

Yesterday I spent several hours playing with my new goodies &  I went back & forth from Halloween to Christmas.  I love both Holidays & this year I'm going to make every effort to offer my Treat Classes a little earlier.   This box will probably be one of the projects, it's just too cute for words and I had a blast making it.  Can you see the Crystal Effects on his nose?

I used the Sparkly & Bright stamp set with the Teeny Tiny Wishes stamp set and I layered the Merry Christmas on the new Modern Label punch. The box is the brand new Fancy Favor Box (Big Shot Die) and it's so easy to assemble!!  

Here's a side view of the box.

Thanks for stopping by!

Halloween Twist Box

 

Good afternoon!

I don't know why.... but I'm so stinking excited today!  We got home from the lake and I have new stamps, ink, paper....and a whole lot more!  I'm like a kid in a candy store.  Plus Stampin' Up! posted some new ideas on our website and that got me to thinking about Halloween projects. 

 I used the Holiday Best stamp set and that's a Level One Hostess set.  (If you're taking advantage of my In-Color Bundle Special, this is one of the sets you can choose. (Click here to view the details on my In Color Bundle Special.)

The Cast-a-Spell designer paper is also new and I'm kicking myself that I didn't order the From the Crypt stamp set, that spider would look perfect on this box!  (it's going on my next order.)

Stampin' Up! provided us with a tutorial on now to make the Twist Box and I was so excited I made five of them.  I'll film a video this week but to be honest.....I need to practice the pull, push, twist & smush technique.

Thanks for joining me!!

p.s. The Deal of the Week is the Sizzix Big Shot Doctor's Bag for $49.99.  Click here for more details.

Razzle Dazzle

Hi,  my card today was Heidi's Shoebox Swap &  I love the Razzle Dazzle stamp set!   It works with bright or soft colors (I posted a card a few weeks ago using softer colors).

She used Old Olive with Not Quite Navy ink & cardstock. And the Oval All Stamp set with the Large Oval Punch & the Scallop Oval Punch.

Can you see the pretty Rhinestone Brad on the flower?  I attached it using the Paper Piercer & Chic Stand. 

 We also used the Scallop Edge Punch & it's the Deal of the Week.

Have a Happy 4th of July.....be safe!

Animal Stories Card

My card today was Julie's Shoebox swap & it's just darling!  (But I may have done a bad job of lining up the circles, I don't stamp well when I'm away from my own stamp room.)

 The Family Phrases stamp set goes perfect with the Animal Stories stamp set. And I love how she used the Texturz Plates Backgrounds  #1 for the background!

She used two of the new In-Colors, Bermuda Bay & Melon Mambo.

Have a great day!!

p.s. I'll be posting on my blog over the weekend but I'll have limited access to email. Have a Happy 4th of July!! (wish me luck.... we're going canoeing.)

Animal Stories Treat

 

Hi,  My project today is one of the Shoebox Swaps from last weekend. Isn't it cute?  Just looking at it makes me want to open it and eat those animal crackers.

She used the brand new Animal Stories stamp set with the Teeny Tiny Wishes.  (Teeny Tiny Wishes is now included with the regular Demonstrator Starter Kit). The card stock is Melon Mambo, Crushed Curry & Chocolate Chip with the Tall Tales Designer Paper.

See the new punch?  That's the Modern Label Punch and it's a must have!!   The Word Window Punch fits on there perfectly.

Have a great day!

p.s. I'll be unavailable the rest of the day but I'll be back online in the morning.  If you email me your order for the In Color Bundle it will be okay if we process it tomorrow.  In fact, because I sent my newsletter out so late...... I'll extend the special through tomorrow.

Grocery List Notepad

Oh my gosh....I was so busy updating my blog today that I totally forgot to tell you that my video is ready and posted on my Chic' n Scratch Live! blog.  Click here if you'd like to go watch it now.

I have question...can you help me decide?   You know how every time I make a video I post the details here and then I post the details on Chic' n Scratch Live?  That's two posts for one video.   I was thinking.....How about I post a button on this blog, telling you I've uploaded a video & when you see the button that's a reminder to go over there for all the details.

   Good idea....Bad idea?   I'm looking for areas I can cut back on so that I can fit stamping into my daily routine again.  (Now that I've typed it I'm not sure if I like the idea...oh well, it doesn't hurt to ask.)

Here's the button.....what do you think? I'll draw a name to win this Grocery List Notepad Tuesday (I want to give the girls that are out of town a chance to post a comment too, you can check back on this post for the winners name.)

Sorry I posted so many times today!! I thought it would be easier to post each item alone instead of one huge post.

Have a good night!

p.s. The Christmas Punch Stamp set I used on this project will be the July Free Stamp Set.
