Better late thank never, right? I finally got around making the December Paper Pumpkin. How cute is it? A very easy desk top calendar to make. The colors are so pretty. Sure to compliment any decor.

I hope you got in on Paper Pumkin in December. These went like hot cakes. Unfortunately, the refill kits sold out very quickly.

There are still some great passed kits available. So check them out.

Holiday Crafting Part 2

12/17/2015

And the crafting continues. The picture above shows all the paper crafts I've completed in the last 48 hours with a few more minor details left.  I typically give gift cards to our teachers. I feel they appreciate that the most, they can purchase whatever they want for themselves or their classrooms. But I like to give them a little something to open.

I found the BPA free travel mugs at Walmart. They were sold in a 5-pack for under $5 I believe. That was a great find. I then found mini size coffee packs at Dunkin Donuts. Boom! Little treat packed in a cellophane bag with a candy cane! 

I recently held a Calendar Workshop at my house. After making them the group, I thought hmmm, these might be a great gift for teachers.

I used the English Gardens Designer Series Paper and coordinating cardstock in Blushing Bride, Hello Honey, Melon Mambo, Mossy Meadow, Night of Navy and Soft Suede. I love the colors!!
Picture
The base of the easel is super easy to make. Cut a piece of 8 1/2 x 11 piece of cardstock to 4 1/4 x 11.  Use your Simply Scored Scoring Tool and with the 11" side at the top, score at 5 1/2 and 2 3/4.
Fold in half at the 5 1/2" score line, the fold the in the opposite direction at the 2 3/4 score line. (like an accordion fold).  Cut another piece of the same color cardstock to 4 1/4 x 5 1/2.  Attach this piece to only the 2 3/4 section of the base. Now you can decorate the top and bottom of your base. I added a post it note to the bottom to hold the easel up. Perfect!!! How easy.  I added some flowers to give a little dimension. On some I used 3 flowers punch from the Itty Bitty punch pack and others I used the Pansy punch.
The gift bag was super easy to make. I will admit, there is contraband on the bag...oops my bad. I realized to late I needed to order the metallic doilies and black ribbon I wanted. Oh well. But I found some at AC Moore, definitely not as pretty as the Stampin Up ones, but they do the trick. Bottom line, I have no idea who will keep and/or reuse the bags so I wasn't going nuts. I found the kraft bags at Walmart in a 13-pack for $7.97. Not to bad. I wanted white and they were out, so this will do!
But again bag was quick and since I needed to make 12, I made an assembly line.

I used the Winter Wonderland Designer Series paper. This paper is so smooth and shiny! I love it. You can decorate 4 bags from 1 12x12 sheet. 
Cut the DSP to 4 - 6x6 squares
For the size bag I used, you will need black cardstock, cut one strip to 2 1/2 by 5 1/4 and another at 4 1/4 x 5 1/2.
Also cut a piece of whisper white to 4 x 5 1/4.  I stamped in Basic Black the tree from Lovely as a Tree and stamped off to give layers.
I stamped the snowflakes from the Perpetual Calendar set using a gold metallic ink. Finally I stamped a snowflake from the Festive Flurries stamp set, which is now retired. And cut it out with the, also retired, framelits.
Cut the doilies in half and attach to the back of the 5 1/4x4 black cardstock.

Assemble your layers onto the gift bag.
I wasn't thinking to take pictures individually I so I didn't take a close up of the bag. OOps, but you can zoom in.
And last but not least, the gift box. While this one not a project that I was originally planning on making, but I saw a YouTube video by Sam Donaldson Pootles in the UK for her gift box tutorial so I decided I wanted to give it a whirl. It was quick and sooo easy to make I made 3 in a flash. Love it. You can see the videohere.

Ok well I think that's it for now, have a few more easel calendars to finish and gift tags for the bags and I'll be good to go!

Thanks for stopping by my blog! I hope you enjoyed!

Holiday Crafting - Mason Jars

12/17/2015

0 Comments

 
It's been quite a busy week in my craft space. I've been working on finishing Christmas cards and gifts for co-workers, teachers and family members.

I've had ideas for a while but never quite got around to making them.  I soon realized better get cracking. But it's always a race against the clock.

First was working on my husband's co-worker gifts. Each year we brainstorm what to get the men and woman my husband works with. Trying to figure out what to get always takes for ever! I always have Mason jars on hand so we decided to make some sort of jar gifts. I came across layering hot cocoa/marshmallow/peppermints in a jar. And well since we are giving these to adults not children, we decided to go with a mug jar and add some fun nips to make it an "adult" gift.

Normally I would try to use all Stampin' Up products to create the gifts. But I just didn't have the extra time to hand punch and assemble bows and ribbon. I found the mesh ribbon, glitter bows, button embellishments and snowman hats at AC Moore. I layered the jars and measured enough cocoa to make 2 servings of hot cocoa. Maybe next time, I'd put the crushed candy canes and marshmallow in baggies so they can just scoop out the cocoa. But this time it can be dumped out in a bowl, mix it up and divided into 2 mugs.

Picture
Now for the woman, it gets tricky, I never know what they like/dislike. So, I try to keep their gifts pretty general. Not always easy though.   I was invited to a Thirty-One party and decided to grab the Littles Carry-all Caddy. Now, what to put in it?? To stick with the jar gifts, I chose to fill a Mason jar with a Christmas cookie mix. I layered and Oatmeal, Chocolate chip cookie. Very simple! But so yummy. Instead of decorating a jar and getting a gift bag. I tied a bow, added a wooden spoon and a tag with baking directions.

1 1/3 cup flour
1 tsp baking soda
1 tsp baking powder

1/4 tsp salt
1 cup oats
3/4 cup m&ms
3/4 cup nestle toll house semi sweet morsels
1/2 cup brown sugar packed
1/2 cup sugar

I mixed the baking powder, baking soda, salt and flour together then added to jar.
Layer in that order make sure to press down in jar to pack it tight. I used a wide mouth quart size jar.

Tag reads:

Mix:
with 1 egg,
1/2 cup melted butter
1 tsp. vanilla extract
Combine
 with the jar ingredients
roll into balls
Bake
 for 7-10 mins at 350

I forgot to take a picture of the jar once I packaged it in the Littles carry-all caddy.

I Hope you enjoy.
Happy Holidays and Happy Stampin

English Garden Desktop Calendar

11/16/2015

I ordered some mini calendars and at first I wasn't sure what I wanted to do with them. Well besides that obvious, make some sort of desk calendar. I didn't want to fuss over trying to find holders or cases.  What to do? What to do?

As I was going through my cards to donate several to the Ronald McDonald house, I came a cross an easel card I made awhile back. Lightbulb!!! Perfect.

And my desk calendar was born! I decided to use the English Garden DSP. I am not a very florally person. But I really liked this pack when I saw in Stampin' Up's annual catalog. I just didn't know what I would used it on.  Well now I do.  The colors just work really well.

I immediately got to working designing the calendar! Took a few pics and scheduled my class in December. It's definitely something I would be excited to receive. Perfect for co-workers, teachers, family member and of course friends. Even with all the technology out there, I prefer to look at a calendar.

The post it note completes it! It's what holds the easel up and balances the card! How easy it is now to look at this calendar, write a note or date down! SO simple!

Check out either my Facebook page or Stampin Up website for class information!

Can't make the class but would love to give as a gift, no problem send me a message and upon payment on paypal, I would gladly make them up for you at $4 per desktop calendar, plus shipping.

Look forward to hearing from you

Happy Stampin'
Steph
