Sparkling New Year Drink

Here's the drink and sparklers to go with my Ghirardelli chocolates I'll be sharing when I ring in the new year. :)  I made it with the Cheerful Tags Framelits Dies.

New Year Celebration Box

Just a little something to ring in the new year.  Ghirardelli chocolate squares fit perfectly inside Stampin' Up! clear tiny treat boxes.

Gift Card Present

Gift cards are fun to receive but not much fun to give if they aren't presented in a cute way.  For this gift card I used my Sizzix pocket die to create the bottom half of my gift card holder.  The top is a 3 X 3 piece of cardstock I folded in half and glued on each side.  When you slide the top into the pocket it makes a little present with a bow on top! Happy Holidays!

Rudolph Bag

What do you think of this little Rudolph bag? He's made out of a kraft bag.  I used my fringe scissors along the top then tucked a treat inside before tying it off and curling the fringes with a bone folder.  Eyes and a shiny red nose finish him off.  He's so cute!

Gingerbread & Sugared Things

The baker's box is great for small gifts or treats.  This box definitely needs to be filled with gingerbread or sugared things. :) 

Dec 17, 2016

Tic Tac Tube

I used a tube from my September Paper Pumpkin and filled it with Tic Tacs.  I think I'll place this treat on top of one of my Christmas gifts as part of the gift wrap.

Mitten Tote

Here's the variation I made with the 6x6 designer paper.  Same idea without a handle. Fun huh?!


Dec 13, 2016

Christmas Wishes Purse

I searched Pinterest for things to make with a 6x6 sheet of designer paper.  This is one of the ideas I found.  I used the same concept on another project I'll be showing soon.  Gotta Love Pinterest! :)

Making Spirits Bright

When I found this foil wrapped chocolate at Target I snatched it right up.  It didn't take much to turn it into an adorable little gift.  I used a stamp from the Tin of Tags set and the Holly Berry Builder Punch to embellish it.  I love the results! :)

A Little Dash of Cheer

Here's a stocking stuffer idea.  It's a package of gum I turned into a little santa suit. As stampers we can't just give a plain package of gum, right?! ;)

Joy Candy Bag

You know how much I looove die cuts! :)  Well the Cheerful Tags Framelits Dies are no exception. They are so much fun to create! By adding a fun tag I turned my small bag of candy into a sweet Christmas gift.

Wonderful Winterland Candle

The November Paper Pumpkin is one of my favorite card kits! Of course I didn't turn it into a card, but no worries I definitely will. I created a wrap for a candle then tucked it inside a takeout box.  Now all I have to do is tie it closed with pretty ribbon.

Go Ahead Box In A Box

I found the instructions for this box on pootles.co.uk. Thank you Sam for your creativity and willingness to share! :) Its made with the envelope punch board.  I think it makes the perfect Christmas wrap and the bow builder punch made the perfect size bow for the top.

Snowflake Gift Bag

Remember the Festive Flurry Ornament Kit? I assembled mine a little different and attached it to a Polka Dot Tag a Bag gift bag.  I altered the bag a bit too. I'm excited to put a gift inside and give it for Christmas!

Warm Wishes Kisses

As I looked through the Stampin' Up! holiday catalog the first stamp set I had to have was the Tin of Tags set.  I knew exactly what I was going to make with the "warm wishes and mistletoe kisses" sentiment.  Hopefully you have the mitten punch because it's a perfect little addition.  

Nov 27, 2016

Merry Little Pouch

I made this with a 4 1/2 x 6 1/2 piece of designer paper. It's scored on the long side at 1, 1 1/2, 2, 4, 4 1/2, 5. The short side is scored at 3/4. Cut the 6 small score lines just up to the 3/4 score line.  Remove all the 3/4 pieces except for the 2" center piece.  This will be the bottom flap to seal it closed.  Decorate as desired! :) 

Nov 25, 2016

Reindeer Pocket

Here's a festive way to give cash for Christmas. I made it with the scalloped tag topper punch, small oval punch, owl builder punch, bird builder punch and blossom petals builder punch. He's a little too small for a gift card but you can alter it to accommodate one.  

Nov 22, 2016

Grateful Pie

This box isn't big enough to send your family and friends home with a piece of pie, but it can certainly be filled with other yummy treats! :) 

Nov 20, 2016

Season Of Gratitude

I made this with the Season Of Gratitude Paper Pumpkin and the Two Tags Bigz die (retired).  I thought it would be nice to give one to each person at my Thanksgiving dinner table with a personalized message inside. 



Nov 18, 2016

Chocolate Pumpkin

Here's another holder for a Hershey's nugget.  I thought I'd make one last project with the Jar Of Haunts stamp set before I put it away. You know...I'm looking at this set and thinking maybe I don't have to put it away.  The jar can be used for other projects and candy corns aren't just orange, yellow and white anymore, now they make them for all the holidays.  ;)

Nov 16, 2016

Acorn Nuggets

Another project made with the Acorny Thank You stamp set!  ;) Each one holds a Hershey's Nugget. These are going to look so cute at each setting on my Thanksgiving table. 


Nov 13, 2016

Grateful Box

I just love the Acorny Thank You stamp set! It's the perfect set for creating Thanksgiving/Grateful projects like this one. :)

Give Thanks Pumpkin Dish

This treat matches my "Fall Jar Centerpiece" from my previous post. I made toppers out of the leftover designer paper I had from my wreath then attached them to indivually wrapped gourmet caramels. The dish is embellished with washi tape I found at Target. 

Nov 7, 2016

Fall Jar Centerpiece

Remember the styrofoam wreath in the Lovely Little Wreath Paper Pumpkin? This is what I finally made with mine. A Fall centerpiece for my Fall decor. It's basically a bunch of 1x8 inch strips of designer paper wrapped around the styrofoam and topped with a bow. It was easy to make but a bit time consuming. 

Nov 5, 2016

Nuts About You Pouch

I used the Season of Sweets designer kit to make a pouch for mixed nuts.  The Acorny Thank You stamp set is one of my favorites and a perfect addition to my pouch.  

Nov 3, 2016

Oval Pumpkin


It took 8 ovals to create this little gem. I used the third largest oval from the Ovals Collection Framelits. I absolutely love the gold and pumpkin pie together and wish I would've made it bigger.

Nov 1, 2016

M&M Fall Pouch

You know me, I have to come up with different ideas for the Paper Pumpkin.  Here is the first idea.  I turned one of the envelopes into a pouch so it can hold a bag full of M&M's.  I'm actually excited to make one of the cards the kit was intended for because I've never made a shaker card.

Halloween Gift

Shhh... I create a gift/treat every holiday for my family. This is the treat each one will get for Halloween. The take out box is filled with candy and a gift card. The gift sack has yummy trail mix inside. I hope they love it as much as I loved making it! :)

Oct 27, 2016

Mummy Coffin Treat

Look how cute he is tucked inside a coffin filled with candy. :) I'm sad I'll have to put this stamp set away soon. 

Oct 25, 2016

Halloween Cookies

Who would've guessed Halloween cookies can be given in an envelope? :) How practical and easy! 

Oct 23, 2016

Square Pumpkin

I transformed a clear tiny treat box into a square pumpkin. Now I need to decide if I should fill it with Halloween candy or use it as a Thanksgiving favor. What do you think? :) 


Oct 21, 2016

Halloween Candy Bag

Who doesn't like a cello bag filled with candy? They're one of the easiest bags to fill and decorate for every holiday or occasion and that makes them great for gift giving.  

Oct 19, 2016

Halloween Sweet Treat

This is a super cute treat bag I made with a chevron gift sack. Have you noticed I'm trying to use up all my retired products? That way I have a good excuse to buy the new stuff?! :) As if I need an excuse...

Happy Halloween Card

I realized I haven't created a Halloween card and thought I needed one. :)  I saw something similar to this on Pinterest and loved the idea of using the September Paper Pumpkin stamp set. 

Oct 15, 2016

Jack-O-Lantern Baker's Box

This was one of the quickest Halloween projects I've made this year and one of my favorites. I think choosing the paper took the most time. :) 

Oct 13, 2016

Trick or Treat Bag

What do you think about a clear trick or treat bag? This way you know exactly what's inside and how much you still have left to eat!  ;) 

Oct 11, 2016

Coffin Slider Box

My slider box has a coffin top and an opening so you can see the wrapped candy on the inside. It's a scary yet cute treat. :)

Best Witches

Here's another project I made with the Bewitched Die Set.  I wrapped a mini Ghirardelli chocolate, stamped Best Witches and attached the hat, skirt, legs and shoes. Can't think of a better way to give chocolate!  :)

Oct 7, 2016

Witch Cup

I prefer to use Stampin' Up! dies, but when it comes to Halloween, I can't resist! :)  Yep, another die I purchased at the "Let's Create Expo" this year.  Isn't it the cutest?!  It's called, Bewitched Die Set by Echo Park Paper. I found the little cups at The Dollar Tree.

Oct 5, 2016

Jack-O-Lantern Tote

I found this cute pumpkin sizzlit at the "Let's Create Expo" last year and completely forgot about it. You'd think that means I have way too many Halloween die cuts. Nah!!  Anyway...... she, because she has a bow, is holding 3 Hershey's nuggets. :)

Oct 3, 2016

Eye Candy


Can't get enough of the Jar of Haunts set! I used it and a stamp from my September Paper Pumpkin to create this "eye candy" treat. :) The stamps to fill the jar, like eyeballs, are so dang clever.  I know I'll be using this set on many of my Halloween projects!


Oct 1, 2016

Spider Cupcake

I used my retired cupcake sizzlits to make this Halloween cupcake. You can use the Cupcake Cutouts Framelits just as easily. Any Halloween paper will turn it into a spooky cupcake. 

Sep 29, 2016

Spooky Candy Corn Jar

The Stampin' Up! mini tassels are so much fun! I attached one to this little treat holder I made with the Jar Of Haunts stamp set, which is just as much fun as the mini tassels. :) 



Sep 27, 2016

Paper Pumpkin Broomstick

I used one of the tubes from the September Paper Pumpkin to create a witch broomstick. Fringe scissors made it easy to create the bottom of the broom and the cork allowed it to stand on its own. Now I have a unique little Halloween treat. 

Sep 25, 2016

Spooky Gable Box

My tree and bat are part of an Echo Park Paper die set called, Haunted Mansion Die Set.  I found them at the, Lets Create Expo, I attended this past April. Due to my obsession with Halloween I "needed" them. :) I created the pumpkin with my Stampin' Up! pansy punch.

Hello Fall Pumpkin Bag

Fall is my favorite season, so I thought I might welcome it, and what better way than with a pumpkin. :) The ovals framelits are perfect for making pumpkins! I attached a paper sack to the back. I think a fall flower would be nice inside. 

Sep 21, 2016

Celebrate Fall

Love, love, love the September Paper Pumpkin! My mind is racing with all the fun things I can make. I started with a Fall idea, but I'm excited for the Halloween projects. I can't believe how many tubes came in the kit! :) 

Sep 19, 2016

Spooky Mummy Treat

Don't you think the Jar Of Haunts stamp set is the cutest?! I certainly do.  This mummy is my favorite!  You don't need to color or embellish it and because it's so darn cute it doesn't take much to create something cute with it! :)

Sep 17, 2016

Pumpkin Bows

Look at these adorable pumpkins you can make with the Bow Builder punch and Gift Bow Bigz (on the Stampin' Up! clearance  rack now). The small one has a Hershey's kiss inside. Wouldn't a decorative bowl of the small ones be the cutest?!  I haven't filled the big one yet. Hmmm...now I'm thinking I should use them as decor instead of treat holders. :) 

Sep 15, 2016

Skeleton Bones

I saw this skeleton project on Pinterest last year but didn't have time to make one. I could hardly wait to try it this year. It's so darn cute it makes me smile. ;)
