Chicks & Chocolate Easter Projects

The past couple of years I've offered a few Chicks & Chocolate events. It's an evening that has the guests stamping 3 projects; a greeting card and two 3-D items. Of course, chocolate is always included!

These are the projects the girls made last night.

How cute is that little bunny???  I had precut and prepunched almost everything, so the girls last night just needed to assmble them.

His little box "body" is just the right size to hold an assortment of chocolate goodies!

 And what bunny would be complete without a cute little fuzzy tail!

While the bunnies we created last night were all grey, I also decided to try one in a crisp white!  Ack - just adorable, don't you think? :)

The second project was a little matchbox.  I love how quick these little boxes can go together.  They're easy to cut using the Matchbox die for my Big Shot. It cuts and scores everything in just one quick pass through the Big Shot.

 We dressed them up by adding a piece of designer paper to the top of the box wrap.  Before adhering, we embossed it with our Oval Designer Frame Mini Embossing Folder.  Once adhered, we punched out the center with our Extra Large Oval Punch and added a small piece of our clear window sheet to the underside to keep the candies from falling out.

To finish it off, we stamped a greeting on one of the tags (included on the Matchbook Bigz Die), added one of the small butterflies cut/embossed with the Beautiful Wings embosslit and tied it around the box with a piece of our new Daffodil Delight Seam Binding ribbon. 

Haven't seen this designer paper or seam binding ribbon yet?  That's because it's part of our April Summer Smooches Promotion!  These items are both a sneak peek from our upcoming new Idea Book & Catalogue.  You can order these (and a few other amazing sneak peek items) RIGHT NOW, but ONLY for the month of April!  After that,they won't be available again until June.

The third project we stamped was a greeting card.  Once again we used some of our Summer Smooches designer paper.  We stamped the bunny image from our Everybunny stamp set on watercolor paper and colored it in with some of our classic inks and our Aqua Painters.

The banner along the bottom is a piece of Very Vanilla cardstock that's been folded in a fan style and adhered in place.  The greeting was stamped on another piece of Very Vanilla cardstock, punched with our Large Oval punch and layered on an Island Indigo punched Scallop Oval.

 Oh, and don't miss the little mushrooms stamped in the bottom corner.  They're part of the stamp set and I just HAD to include them on the card. ;)

It sounds like the girls all had a great time last night and really enjoyed the projects. 

Happy Stamping!

A Winter Post

Just a really quick post to show you what I made earlier this week and am finding a little addictive. ;)

I was recently introduced to these adorable matchbook style tag books at a demonstrator get together earlier this year and knew I would be making more.

I decorated the front with a piece of our Letters to Santa designer series paper, a small scallop border punched from some Early Espresso cardstock and added a Whisper White snowflake cut with my Northern Frost sizzlet die, covered in Dazzling Diamonds glitter and adhered with a Mini Silver Brad.


Inside is 6 stamped gift tags ready to go at a moments notice. I stamped the tags with one of my favorite winter sets "Winter Post".  This particular stamp set is currently part of our Online Extravaganza sale and is normally priced at $32.95 but until November 30th is ONLY  $16.48. 


Each tag has been perforated along the left side using our awesome cutter kit so they can easily be removed from the booklet.

I have an order going in tomorrow and Wednesday and possibly one next week as well, so if this set (or any of the other sale items that catch your eye) are on your wish list, let me know and I would be happy to add them to one of these orders for you to save on shipping. I will also include an instruction sheet with all the dimensions for this matchbook tag booklet so you can recreate it at home!

This is one of the projects I did with my Stampers 6 Club last night and am doing with my second club this evening.

I'm hoping to start up a new Stampers Club in January.  If you would be interested in joining a club, meeting once every other month to stamp projects I've prepped and earning Hostess Rewards ('cause who doesn't like free product!) let me know and I can give you additional details!

Happy Stamping!

Spring is Blossoming...but only for a little longer!!!

I can hardly believe we're already more than half way through April! I admit I'm looking forward to seeing the sun more and the warmer weather that comes with that!

When Stampin' Up! announced the "Spring is Blossoming" Promotion for April, I was thrilled with the sneak peek stamp set and gorgeous designer series paper being offered. Of course, with the end of April creeping up on us, so is the end of this promotion! There's still time to order your own stamp set (which coordinates perfectly with our Decorative Label Punch) and designer paper when you place a $25 order!

Maybe you're looking for a little inspiration using these products!   Aren't these beautiful!!!

Gorgeous!  I would love to say I stamped them, but I didn't...they're samples I pulled off the Stampin' Up! demonstrator website I have access too.  If you have any questions regarding this promotion or would like to place an order, give me a call or send me a quick email!  Only a few days left!!!!

Happy Stamping!

Petal Cone Fun with my Downline

Yesterday evening I had the privilege of hosting another downline stamp and chat night. I invited my downline (team members) over for a relaxed evening of chit chat and stamping! I adore these women and we always have a blast when we get together.

The point of these evenings is to discuss business ideas and to be inspired by everyones creativity. We also decided to have a card swap which I just love because I am continually amazed with the works of art everyone comes up with!

My upline used to offer downline stamp nights and I just loved attending them (I still do!) - it is so nice to be able to go, relax and stamp a project...one I didn't have to prep!.  Yes, I love my job as a demonstrator, but sometimes it's nice to be able to just sit down and stamp a project that has already been figured out and precut for me! ;) SO, of course I knew I wanted to offer my own downline the same opportunity.


What to be inspired too? I thought I'd share with you the projects we stamped and the card swaps I received!!!


Both projects I offered use our new Petal Cone Bigz L Die for the Big Shot. The first is a cute little carrot pocket card - perfect for a small little Easter message or treat to be tucked inside.

The adorable bunny is punched out using a variety of our great punches! Isn't he just the cutest little thing????  (Just ignore the crooked whiskers and glue smudge!) ;)

The second project we stamped is this great little "take-out" style box. Yup, it's still made with the Petal Cone die, but with a few extra cuts and score lines (SO super quick and simple!) it changes the shape into a great little treat box!

We decorated it with some of our new Sneak Peek Paisley Petals Designer Series Paper.

This paper will be in our upcoming Idea Book & Catalogue in July, but during our April Spring is Blossoming Promotion, with every $25 order, you're eligible to purchase this sneak peek product!!! (Or Host a $460* workshop and get the Four Frames Set and Paisley Petals Designer Series Paper for FREE). Check out additional details here!


Of course the box wouldn't have been complete without a coordinating tag!  The tag uses a variety of punches including the new (and ADORABLE!) Extra-Large Build a Cupcake Punch.  Love it!

I'm still taking pictures of the swap cards I received, so check back tomorrow to see what everyone came up with...GORGEOUS!!!!

If you're interested in joining us at these stamp nights (and many of the other demonstrator stamping events we attend) definitely let me know.  I would love to share the Stampin' Up! business opportunity with you and have you on our team!

Happy Stamping!
