Dragonfly Dreams!

The ladies loved the cards they created tonight at the 3-2-1 class.  What is a 3-2-1 class you're asking?  $3 for 2 cards created in 1 hour.  A great class for those who say they have no time to create. I focused on the Dragonfly Dreams bundle for both cards.  Here is the first card-

No stamping on the front, but we stamped the greeting and some other images on the inside and the envelopes.  Love these colors together- Basic Gray, Smokey Slate, Whisper White and Sweet Sugarplum, with a hint of Silver.  

Quick, Simple Beautiful!

Don''t forget- only 10 days left of Sale A Bration- make sure to place your order before the Free product is gone!

Tea-riffic Treats!

TEA BAG HOLDER

Cut your paper to 3″ x 9 1/4 ″

Score your paper at 3 1/2″, 4″, 4 1/2″ and 8 1/4″

Fold on your score lines creating a “W” shape. (I hope that makes sense??).  The end with the narrowest scored piece is the front flap. Use the Corner rounder punch on this flap. Use tear and tape to hold the scored section (W) together.  I used two glue dots (one on each side to make a pouch to hold the tea bag inside.  Cut out the tea cut with the Cups and Kettles framelit on the Have a Cuppa DSP.  Stamped the verse from the A Nice Cuppa Stamp Set and punched out with an oval punch.   Add a bow to the front flap. Flap is held together with a velco dot.

RemARKable Blog Tour - Watercolor Wings & Bold Butterfly Bundle

Welcome back to the RemARKable Stampers Blog Tour!  This year we are going to focus on Bundles.  Stampin' Up has so many great bundles in the Annual Catalog - Bundles are a pairing of two products- usually a stamp set and the second product is either a punch, set of framelits or other product.  These bundles are offered at a savings of 15%.  I love when I can purchase products at a savings!  

Hope you join us on the second Thursday of each month at 8 PM to be inspired!

This month I choose to feature the Watercolor Wings Stamp Set and Bold Butterfly Framelits Bundle which is on page 75 of the 15-16 Annual Catalog.

First project - if you know me you know that I love to give and leave little gifts!  Here's an adorable tiny treats gift box!  Simple, quick and easy!

The treat boxes are on page 151 - #135829 - Tiny Treat boxes- 25 (2x2x2") boxes get for chocolate treats, jewelry, or cash!!!  I triple stamped the small butterfly with Calypso Coral ink and cut it out with the framelit (from a matching set) then cut out the top butterfly from a piece of DSP from the Pretty Petals Paper Stack, added some Rhinestone Jewels and a quick tag was created with two other stamps from the Watercolor Wings Stamp Set.  A piece of Mint Macaron 1" Dotted Lace Trim adds a really soft touch.  Love how it looks!

Next project is a little more involved!  It's my first Card in a box card!

 This card can fold flat and be mailed in a standard envelope.  There are lots of tutorials on line - I actually used two and took parts from both to create this card.  Butterflies are stamped with the Watercolor  Wings Stamp Set, sentiments are also from this set and the third butterfly is die cut from the Bold Butterfly Framelits.  The ferns in the back are from the Butterfly Basics Stamp Set- stamped and hand cut.

I love the way this card came out and am looking forward to creating many other cards and gift packaging with this Bundle!  I'd love for you to leave a comment - what do you think?  Feel free to Pin these samples if you are on Pinterest!
Have fun creating!

Blessings, Missy

Remarkable Blog Tour - Get Moving!

It's time again for our monthly blog tour! This month our theme is Get Moving!   Get moving....some suggestions were sports, new home, graduation.  I really struggled with this theme for two reasons, I've been very distracted - spending all my free time helping my daughter as she has been in and out of the hospital after the birth of her first child, and snuggling my beautiful grandson.  Very hard to focus on anything else.

I finally came up with what I wanted to do when I went to spin class on Tuesday.  I needed a place to track my daily food and exercise as it is time to get serious and get healthy!

So here is what I came up with:

Started with one of our Wood Mount Cases 

Created a cover that fits between the case and plastic cover.  Needed something to motivate me - sneakers and chubby legs and the reminder to "Get Moving"!  Just a few framelits and thinnlit dies, embossing folder, some cardstock, and twine.  

Here's what I have inside a tablet, pen and several note cards that have 30 day exercise challenges on them.  Looking forward to tracking my progress.

Easy project and looking forward to using it!

Supplies:

Cardstock:  Whisper White # 100730 (2 scrap pieces & 2 pieces 1" x 1 3/4"),
Tempting Turquoise #102067 (5" x 7"), Blushing Bride # 131198 (2 pieces 1 1/2" x 4"),
Real Red #102482 (2 pieces 3 1/4" x 2') Daffodil Delights # 119683 (scraps),
 Basic Black  #121045 (scraps)
Wood Mount Stamp Case- Full size  #127551
Painted Blooms Cotton Twine #137873
Big Shot Cutting Machine #113439

Remarkable Pinworthy Tour - Tie One On!

It is the most wonderful time of the year!  First I'm back to creating!  Took some time off as I completed a college class.  I passed the class and am now studying for a certification test.  But I'm taking a few days to enjoy the season!  Love all the lights and music this time of year.  I also love creating my own packaging and tags for gift giving.  I hope you enjoy what I've created and please feel free to "PIN" the samples to your Pinterest board.

I had a lot of scraps on my table from Christmas cards I was creating, so I used what was available to create the following three tags.  First I needed a tag for a bottle of wine I'm giving.

Love how this came together!   Simple quick and easy!

Next I needed a tag for a gift bag for a man.  I think this is perfect!

My final tag is a gift for a friend who loves skittles and old jars.

All tree tags used scraps of cardstock, DSP, and ribbons.  Just added some stamped images and embellishments.  Total time to create - under an hour from start to finish!  

Hope you have time this holiday season to "Tie One On!"

Merry Christmas and a Creative New Year!

Blessings, Missy

I spent some time in July creating with my friend Deb and we decided to make Christmas cards using DSP from the Annual Catalog.  Here's the first one:

This card is a clean and simple card and I love how it came out!

(Just realized that the Textured Embossing Folder that I used is retired.  Sorry about that but I'm sure that  #132174- Stylish Strips would look awesome)

Blessings, Missy

                                                                           

Thought I continue sharing project that used the Big Shot.  As I said I use this machine all the time!!

I love creating cards that are clean and simple and are created using tone on tone,

                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                      

 

This card uses the new Striped Scallop Thinlit.  Love the look this gives the card!

Happy Sunday and blessings to you!

Missy
