Animal Cracker Box and Bag with Scallops

Oh my gosh, this box was so easy! I found this tutorial on this great little animal cracker box on Tracy's blog, Inky Doodles. One sheet of paper is all it takes! So much fun to make into your own design!! For this box I used Old Olive, Melon Mambo and Basic Black card stock. Two jumbo brads, black hemp string, and "Beautiful Butterflies" Sizzex die. The design in front came from the "Tulipe" die found only from Stampin' Up! I cut the design to fit the box. The "for you" stamp came from the stamp set "One of a Kind". Easy as that!

For the scallop bag below, I used the "Bag with Scallops" die cut from Sizzex's. Since the was the first time I used the die and I was short on time, I didn't decorate it. At least you can see how cute the bag is!! I will be making more of these at a later time.

Father's Day Card and Mini Pizza Box

"Lexicon of Leaves" and "Teeny Tiny Wishes" are two new stamp sets available July 1st. I knew I would like this leaf stamp. It stamps clearly and I love that! For this card I also used the new SU! punch called "Modern Label". The current "Word Window" punch fits perfectly with the new one and together they make a beautiful label. Soft Suede is the mat color on the card. I stamped the leaf image twice, cut it out and used dimensionals to make it pop. I colored the leave in with chalks. It turned out pretty nice, don't you think?

This morning I saw Jen Del Muro's tutorial for the "Mini Pizza Box" and I had to try it! Talk about EASY!!!!! I love easy!~LOL Click here to see her tutorial. Hope you will try one!

Yummy For Your Tummy Bags

This bag is a sample of the goodie bags I made for my stamp campers last week! I started to make a little homemade treat of Peanut Clusters but my chocolate burned! That has never happened to me before! :( So I ran out and bought some peanut brittle to put in the bags. The little stamp is from the "Yummy" stamp set in the Sale-a-bration mini catalog that you can see here.

Transformation of tins!!!

These tins have been sitting in my craft room for months now. I bought them from Michael's for $0.99!!!! I knew that I would have a use for them one day! I made these to put Christmas gift cards and a small "Georgia" ornaments in them for my family in Colorado. I was so excited they way they turned out! I will be heading to Michael's today to buy more. My daughter even asked me to decorate this one for a birthday party she was going to. She gave her friend a gift card. It turned out so cute! Wish I had taken a picture of that! Here is what I used:
Papers: Real red, Old Olive, and Dashing 12x12 paper
Ink: Always Artichoke
Ribbon: Real Red 5/8 inch grosgrain and Always Artichoke 1/4 inch grosgrain ribbons
Stamp sets: Tags for all http://www.stampinup.com/us/documents/US_TagsForAll.pdf
and
Tools: Spellbinders die cuts, modge podge and sanding blocks

Spread the love!

Just a few goodies for my friends! I had so much fun making them! The tin was left untouched, because I gave them the task of doing something original with it. They are supposed to bring it back to share at our next stamp camp! I will share their "originals" in January!!
