Dollar Store Stampin' Up! Style - Monday Makeover

Good Morning, Stampers!

Today's Monday Makeover features the sweet little 

candy snowmen! Who wouldn't love a yummy treat along with

a card full of well wishes??!! Winter birthdays are the

best for snowmen-themed projects!

The card was cut using the Oval die cuts so that

the top of the card has a bit of a peekaboo window

for the candy to come through. There is enough room on the 

inside for a gift card, too! The tag is a great option on a gift

in place of a card. 

SU!pplies:

Stamps: Snowman Season

Ink: Blueberry Buckle, Real Red

Paper: Blueberry Buckle, Real Red,Whisper White, Let it Snow DSP

Accessories: Real Red ribbon, Layering Oval die cuts, Well Written dies, Seasonal Layers dies

It's another Makeover Monday - Dollar Store 

Stampin' Up! Style! Today's project does double-duty:

it's a place card and party favor/gift in one!

AND it smells sooooo good! I used a glass

sachet and decorated it with a few simple pieces 

from the Beautiful Boughs dies and stamped a 

coordinating tag.

Festive and fun and the aroma fills the room!

Good Morning, Stampers!

If you've been to your Dollar Tree during the holidays, chances are

of shapes and sizes as well as different finishes. They 

are so pretty by themselves, but look even better 

when you stamp them up a bit!

Oh, it's another great sketch challenge this week

at the Paper Craft Crew! Great timing for those

who are woking on holiday cards - all the work

have to be open for your creativity to take over!

P.S. I Love You Valentine Cards

Good Morning, Stampers!

While in Las Vegas last week, I was able to participate in a couple of swaps with my fellow Demonstrators. I love the holiday papers Brightly Gleaming and I think they are great for so much more than just the holidays. Here, I was able to give them more of a Valentine/Anniversary feel.
I found these fun heart keys on Amazon that double as a bottle opener. I plan to give the card with a little chilled beverage for a Valentine gift 😄

November Tour de Freaks - Winter Wonderland

Hello, Stampers!

Welcome to the November Tour de Freaks 

Winter Wonderland blog hop! This month,

we are featuring everything from Christmas and Winter.

The holiday season is a busy time, so the

design team is here to help inspire you and make

your holiday papercrafing a little easier!

Whether you are arriving from LeeAnn Greff and her gorgeous projects

or just starting out here, there is a little something for everyone!

I found this sweet little 6" mini rolling pin at my

local Home Goods store and just knew it

needed to be "sweetened" up with a little

help from the Yummy Christmas and Let it Snow

products! You never know where you will find

inspiration, so always be on the lookout! 

The large snowflake was from the dollar store and

the paper mache ornament from Hobby Lobby.

Don't be afraid to pair unlikely things together.

With a little tweaking, you can design anything!

Ink: Tuxedo Black

Paper: Let it Snow, Whsper White, Let it Snow DSP, Glimmer, Coastal Cabana

Onstage: Day 1

Good Morning, Stampers!

We made it! We arrived in Las Vegas last night and got right to stampin'! Along with stamping, we like to give little handmade gifts to our roommates, downline, old friends and new friends, too! I decorated these little bags that I found online using the Hand Lettered Proise dies and a little craft vinyl. It's so easy to personalize and makes a cute and stylish little tote for swapping!

Be sure to check back tomorrow for more

swapping and gifts from Onstage 2019 in

Thankful and Blessed

Good Morning, Stampers!

Where do you find your inspiration? For me, I've found shopping one of the biggest places I find ideas. Recently, I came across this adorble kitchen towel. The Buffalo Check is very on trend this holiday season and I knew I could recreate a card using the Gather Together and Buffalo Check stamp sets. It really makes it easy to create when you find pretty things to inspire!

Glittery Picture Frame - Revamped

Good Morning, Stampers!

I have another gem of a find from the dollar store to share with you today! These are little 2" x 3" acrylic picture frames that are filled with silver glitter. How fun! I took the back photo paper off and replaced it with a sweet little snowman and snowflakes!

Here it is with the glitter settling. I thought it would be so easy to swap out the backside with the changing of the seasons, too!

The design team has some great projects and are

eager to share them with all of you - hopefully
