Sending Many Thanks 3x3 Gift Box

Sending Many Thanks 3x3 Gift Box Card Holder.

One last one in the series of 3x3 card holders. 

Oh Hello 3x3 card Gift Box Holder

Here's another Gift box holder of 3x3 cards. I have done 4 3x3 cards but you can fit 5 in the pocket. You can make the pocket a little wider and it could possibly hold more. You just need to adjust the dimensions.

3x3 Card Holder

Hi everyone! I've been on Spring break the past week and have had some time to do some crafting!. I finally took two days and cleaned out my craft room and started getting rid of some stuff that has been retired. I have multiple listings on ebay for those that are looking for Stampin Up stuff. You can check it out here on Ebay. I have tons of stuff that i'm planning to get rid of, including lots of wood stamp sets, cardstock, DSP and more.

I found this wonderful little Gift box as I was searching through Pinterest and inside it holds 3x3 cards. I took some time and did a few.

Valentine candy jars

Valentine's Day 2
Here are the Bottles that are made into little candy holders. I love these bottles. You can purchase these at Michaels. I tried to find them at Hobby Lobby. But they only carried mason jars. My craft room is over flowing with Mason jars. One of these will be given to my DH today for Day 2.

I also purchased the little candy hearts and dumped them in the one empty bottle. Once I stood back and looked at it. The colors of the candy really didn't go with Valentine Red. I'll be finding something else to put in there. Maybe M&M's. 

Curtain rod for sponges

I originally had these on a wire round storage rack but I have recently down sized a lot of my table top storage .. This is very easy to do and stores your sponges while not in use. .
I purchased a skinny curtain rod and some white hooks. .Hooks in the wall, hung the rod and attached the clips. Very easy!

Santa and Snowman bottles

Here is a great idea using bottles, which was a great find at Michaels 6 for $5!

They were filled with white M&M's and Red and Green M&M's. I made quite a few for coworkers and friends as little gifts.

Easy Snowman candy holder

A quick and easy Snowman candy holder..

Easy envelope for candy cup cards

After making the Easter Bunny card, I realized that it just doesnt fit in a regular size envelope, my BF wants the card and I dont have any padded envelopes laying around, so I decided to make one using the envelope punch board. It fits perfectly inside!

 

This is the Top of the envelope card before being sealed.

 



 

Here is the side view of the envelope with a little "box ledge" so the candy cup sits inside without being crushed.

 

 

 

 

The Envelope Punch Board , Punches 66 different size envelopes, as you can see here you can also use it to make envelopes to fit items that are 3D. So they are not crushed in a regular envelope.

Pocket Cards Gift set

Pocket Cards Gift Set by Connie Collins

Pocket-style scrapbooking isn’t really a new thing, but it has gained popularity over the past few years. Essentially it is the same thing as color-blocking. A few of my friends and family members have embraced this method of scrapbooking, so I thought it would be fun to create a custom gift set using the Retro Fresh Suite (US/CA) by Stampin’ Up!

Here’s a pattern for the 8 -1/2" x 11" cardstock.

Here’s a pattern for the 6" x 12" cardstock.


You should end up with something that looks like this. I used the Chevron and the new Arrows Textured Impressions Embossing Folders to emboss some of the smaller cards.

Next, I went wild stamping and die cutting anything that was related to the theme. Some of the stamp sets I used included Peachy Keen, Starburst Sayings, and Just Sayin’.

I used Soft Suede Cardstock to make a box to put everything in.

I put the stamped and die cut images into Cellophane Bags; then I added coordinating Retro Fresh This and That Designer Washi Tape, Linen Thread, and Stampin’ Dimensionals.

Finally I decorated the lid to give it the perfect finishing touch.

Here’s what it looked like when I was finished.

Stamp Lamp...DIY

Here's something that I found on Split Coast Stampers .

Made by Michelle Zindorf

What a great idea for all those "don't know what to do with" stamps.

 

By Michelle Zindorf : The bottom of the lamp has a wing nut you unscrew and the lamp comes apart. I filled mine with some retired, yet beautiful, Stampin’ Up! stamps.

Baby shadow box

A great start to the new year already!.My resolution was to finish projects that I had started without putting them aside and starting a new one. ( Easier said then done ).I found a project I wanted to try and followed through and finished it. I used mostly Stampin up products and the rest came from a craft store.The crib was hand cut out by me.This is an easy project you can do for less then $15. I'm ready to start a second one for my DH for Valentine's. I Can't wait to see the end result!

 

 

 

 

 

Name frames gift

Here is another project I did over the holidays for my best friend. This was a very easy project to do. So easy I made one for my sister and my brother in law. The cost was not expensive and you could actually do this with old frames laying around that you dont use.

 

 

 

 

Save those Pringles Cans!

Save those Pringles cans!..look at what you can do with pringles cans and a little DSP and Ribbon!

 

Start saving them!..This idea I will take with me for Christmas, I'm the "baker" in my extended family (with my oldest sister) and we LOVE to bake come Christmas time!..This is such a great idea! Lots of goodies can be put in these cans!
