Page 64 Bundles - Stampin' UP Artisan Blog Hop

Welcome back to the Stampin' UP Artisan Design Team Blog Hop! 

We are just starting on our August 2015 box from Stampin' UP. 

This box was FULL of more BRAND NEW products 

from the Stampin' UP 2015-2016 Annual Catalog!!!!!  Remember that every Thursday of each week, all 14 of us from all over the world will post on our blogs an inspiring project for you! Be sure to get Google Translate so that you can read in your language all about how they created their projects too. Now on to my 1st projects for August....

This week we were to use one of the cute bundle offers on Page 64 in the Stampin' UP Annual Catalog! Why use one when you can show off both of them? 

 Here is the Happy Notes Stamp set with the Lots of Labels Framelit Dies Bundle and here is my card that I created with them....

With two weddings coming up, I need some cards to give. I had this idea to take the Everyday Chic Designer Series Paper and color in the mini hearts with Crushed Curry, Melon Mambo and Smoky Slate Stampin Write Markers. This gave me a base for my wedding themed card. These framelits are quickly becoming a favorite of mine!  Plan to see more of them this month!

Here is the Stake Your Claim Stamp Set with the Handpicked Framelits Dies Bundle and here are my treat boxes I made with them....(think Mike Wazowski)

 A sweet friend of mine gave me one for a swap at Convention and I had to recreate it for some Back to School fun treats (teachers could give to their students as a cute warning) or even silly Halloween (yes it is early but you have to plan ahead) treats!

They are super easy to create! I used the Envelope Punch Board to make these boxes. I cut a 5 1/8" x 5 1/8" piece of Cucumber Crush cardstock. Ran it thru the Big Shot with my Decorative Dot Embossing Folder. Then punch and score on the Envelope Punch Board at 2 1/4" and 3" on each side. Cut the corner notches that are left. Fold and assemble with Tear and Tape Adhesive.

I cut a slit with my paper snips on the flap. Slide your "stake" into the slit. I used a Stampin Dimensional to hold it in place. Now just add a piece of the 2014-2016 In Color Designer Washi Tape to keep it closed. I cut the eye ball with the 1/2" circle punch and popped it up with a dimensional. Don't forget to color in your eyeball with Bermuda Bay and add some Bermuda Bay Thick Baker's Twine too!

Thanks for stopping by! I hope this inspires you to go get one of these cute bundles for yourself!  Thank you for all of the kind comments on last week's post! You made my day!

Fancy Friday - Anything Goes!

Welcome to the FANCY FRIDAY BLOG HOP 

for an "ANYTHING GOES" challenge!

My fancy friends and I are BACK! We loved working with each other so much that we decided to continue on with an all new blog hop to inspire you in fun new ways! Each month on the last Friday, we will bring to you new challenges of all kinds (color,sketch, stamp focus, etc) that you can even participate in!  Use #fancyfriday with your challenge project!

While I was away at the Stampin' UP Convention last week, I missed one of my church youth get married. She was in my first youth group nearly 9 years ago! What a blessing that she found a really great, funny and faithful fellow! I was so sad to miss it, but my husband and daughters did attend. I wanted to make a very special card for our gift to them.

Their wedding colors were navy blue so I pulled out Night of Navy for a card base and then pulled some new items such as the Corrugated Cardstock. I punched the Fun Flower in both the white and kraft. I also pulled a string off the Jute Twine Ribbon which has been my favorite embellishment lately. I added a few punched hearts in Watermelon Wonder for a pop of color. The Big News stamp set with the Expressions Wooden Elements completes my wedding card for them. I just had to jazz up the envelope too with some of the Watermelon Wonder Dotted Lace Trim. I like that it is masculine and feminine at the same time. Perfect for this fantastic couple!

Thanks for stopping by! I hope this inspire you today!
