Stampin' Up! Envelope Punch Board Basket

I was playing around with my Stampin' Up! Envelope Punch Board and made this adorable basket. I got the idea from a very talented demonstrator from the UK... Pootles. She has some amazing ideas on her blog.

Scalloped Envelope Treat Bag

I was playing around with old DSP paper today and created this cool Scalloped Envelope. It's great for holding little treats... I had a Hershey Bar laying around so I stuck it in there for the picture.

Measurements: 7 1/2 x 5 and score at 3 1/2 and 7

Throwback Thursday: Roses In Winter Gift Pouch

This Throwback Thursday sample was from a demonstrator swap. I think they used a template for this gift pouch. I used to love this old stamp set... Roses in Winter. I was refreshing my displays and this inspired me to create a new gift pouch with current DSP and embellishments.

Stampin' Up! Sympathy Cards

It's unfortunate, but some times we need sympathy cards. I think any pretty set will work for sympathy as long as you keep it simple. I just got this swirl set, Stampin' Up! Flowering Flourishes and I think I can do a lot with this one!

Technique Tuesday: Clouds

Clouds, is that really a technique? I think it is... it's definitely a nice background and such a simple technique. But it does liven up the background on the sample below. Love it.

Confirmation Favors: Coaster Calendars

Made these magnetic coaster calendars for a friend for her son's confirmation. I actually made them last year, but I don't think I ever posted them. They look great in the cello bags with the bow. This DSP makes them masculine and appropriate for a boys confirmation.

Stamping With Scraps: Watercolor Wonder

Stampers do not like to throw anything away... especially not their scraps. I keep all my DSP scraps (Designer Series Paper)... they are just too pretty to throw away. But what do you do with all those small scraps? So I came up with the theme "Stamping with Scraps". Below is a sample which shows a great way to use your scraps and create a beautiful card! I used various circle punches for this card, but it would also look great with squares!!

Stampin' Up! Watercolor Wonder DSP from the Occasions Mini

Reminder: from a previous post....

I like to store my scraps in 9x12 Clear Velcro Envelopes. I keep an envelope with each paper series pack. So I have the pack of DSP in the paper slot and on top of the pack is one of these clear envelopes and all the scraps for that particular DSP pack are in that envelope. Keeps everyone organized and together.
