I'm a Little Teapot

 

I was lucky enough to be able to use this Thinlit set last night at Stamp Club.

 

 6 teapots is all I cut out, and look how many different looks you can make. 

What next?  Gift tag?  Gift bag? 

So much fun with paper.

 

Time for a Cuppa...

Well I'm nearly out of the mini calendars and January is nearly over...which are two good reasons why this craft idea is something you should tackle in December. 

 

Handy and cute little gift to sit on anyone's kitchen windowsill. 

Pretty in Pink - Happy Valentines Day Ideas. Stampin' Up

I  HEART  YOU ....

Sweet little gift cards made with the Love Blossoms DSP Stack.

Subtle soft colours used in these cards are: Crumb Cake & Whisper White Card Stock,

Dazzling Diamonds Glitter Paper, and Blushing Bride DSP. 

Add some sweet pearl accents and you are ready for any last minute gift,

or make a set of 4 as a gift for someone special.

    I Heart You...  (7.5cm x 7.5 cm) gift cards

Love Blossoms DSP Stack - plus plus

Who wouldn't like to receive a cute Valentine's Day Card?

 

I love the Real Red and Blushing Bride combination shown here.

Easy...Accent flower is made by punching 4 x 1 3/4" circles, folding in half, then fold in half again.  Attach to 1" c/s circle, behind, add a brad and tease apart the folds - done! 

 

 Tiny Treat Bag made with the Love Blossoms DSP Stack,

and is big enough for a Lindor Chocolate treat or two.

Real Red Cotton Ribbon with a cute Stampin' Up bow accent paperclip.

Great for 'thinking of you' on Valentine's Day treats for the office, or school.

Treat Bags are easy enough for children to put together to share with school friends. 

 

Curvy Keepsake Box

&

3" x 3" Square Gift Box

Light on...

Light off....of course you can add any gift/treat you like to the Keepsake Box

as they are quite generous.

Here I've added a double rosette peg accent made using the 2 3/8" Scallop Punch and the 1 3/8" Scallop Punch- cut two of each to form and attach to our sweet clothes pegs.

 

The 3" x 3" Gift Box is perfect to hold hand made gift card sets, chocolates, 4 votive candles, so many uses.

Add a layer of Dazzling Diamonds Glitter Paper, topped with DSP, a cute sentiment, add a soft ribbon and you have Valentines Day covered.

 

Something made from the Heart.....how special!

 

Sweet Treat to start the New Year.

 

Sweet little new years gift for a dear friend, teacher gift, work colleague

or just treat yourself to something sweet for your craft desk.

 

Thank you Ikea for the frame.   Stampin' Up products used: Hearth & Home Framelits, Happy Home Stamp Set, Wildflower Fields DSP,  Hello Honey Striped Ribbon.

Whacky Weekend Mash Up - Pyramid Pals Hello Elephant.

'Hello to you'

Tip Top Taupe, Crushed Curry C/Stock with last seasons Moonlight DSP Stack combo here with the Pyramid Pals Stamp and Thinlit Bundle.

 

I can't wait to actually make some Pyramid Boxes from this set.  I've been having

 too much fun making happy little animal cards.

 

FREEDIES....How Cool is This...

 

How cool is this - for every $90 you spend you get to choose a free product

from the Sale-a-Bration Catalogue.   I chose this cute DSP pack and 'Just for You' Stamp Set.

The 3 fold card base - so simple.  (2 cards from 1 x A4 card stock.)

The 'Just for You' stamp will be perfect for tags and gift bag fronts as well - versatile,

that's what I like.

Hooray for Poppy.....

HAPPY BIRTHDAY  to our darling Grand-Daughter Poppy.

She will be 5 this week and we are missing her dearly.

 

I'll put my Stampin' Up hat on now -  Rose Red C/Stock, It's My Party DSP,

last seasons Cheerful Critters Stamp Set. 

I just love these cute critters, they may not be current but I will make good use of them

for some time yet.

Whacky Weekend Mash Ups........Pyramid Pal Card - Hello Frog.

 

Oh he is just too cute! 

Whacky Weekend Mash Ups... are where I mix and match old stock with new product.

Here I've used last seasons DSP Stack with Lost Lagoon and Wild Wasabi Card Stock to make a fun 'Hello' card using the Pyramid Pals Thinlit and Stamp Sets.

For the Guy in your life. Stampin' Up Going Places DSP Stack

 

I can't tell you how simple these cards are to make.

Stampin' Up Cherry On Top DSP Stack

 

How cute is the NEW Party Pop-Up Thinlits !

 

Cherry on Top DSP Stack has a lot of fun colours that will suit both old and young. 

Calypso Coral, and Bermuda Bay with a punch of Hello Honey make a statement.

Have you noticed the 'YOU' on the Hooray You Card?

This is made buy running the Word Thinlit - Joy (from the Christmas series) through the Big Shot,

then cutting the J to form the letter Y.  Why not !

 

 

 

I'm just loving this new PARTY POP-UP Thinlit set.

I couldn't wait to try out different ideas and uses for this fun Thinlit.  

As you can see I've sponged different colour combinations - Rose Red, Crushed Curry and Bermuda Bay on scrap Whisper White Card Stock before I ran them through the Big Shot. 

 

I love the 'Hip, Hip, Hooray' Thinlit on the edge of this box, (it is a work in progress), but I love the look, and the Thinlit works great as a fun Gift Tag as well as a card pop-up.

Cards, gift tags, gift boxes, accents, so many uses.
