Holidays – Page 15 – Stampin' With Candice

Wacky Wednesday 2-11-09

So today was club and I decided to make each member a cute little Valentine. The projects we were making would take a bit of time so this time I made this little gift for each of them before hand. I hope the know how much I appreciate each of them.

This is a sample that we made for one of my parties. They loved it. The heart is made using the Big Shot Petal Card and folding up the two bottom ones to make a pocket. I saw this idea at leadership and loved it.

Swapping Saturday 2-7-09

Today I thought I would share with you some of the Valentines day project Swaps I received at leadership. These are just a few of my favorites. You can check out more by clicking here.

Valentines Bucket:
I loved this bucket. It was filled with a hot chocolate packet, a Hershey’s kiss on a spoon, a 2x4x6x8 box with marshmallows and a cute little envelop with a poem for hot chocolate.

Love Banner:
This cute banner is made with coasters. They used the big shot letters and the Love you Much Stamp set (113756, $25.95)

Test Tube Candy Holder:

I loved this little test tube candy hold. I really loved how they made a box to put it in. Once again this is the Love yo Much Stamp set and lots of our fun punches.

Marvelous Monday 1-12-09

I know we have lots of great new Valentines sets and projects but I thought I’d pull one out from last year. This set is on the dormant list now, but I think you will probably find it in the new catalog. Either way I know it’s not being retired so I thought I’d show it off. Maybe I’ll try and add some more samples using the great big shot top note die and the mini catalog sets.

This is another Marvelous Marker technique. This technique is great because it allows you to get more versatile colors with just a white roll of ribbon. It’s actually really easy all you need is your white ribbon, your stampin’ write marker and scratch piece of paper.

To color the edge of the ribbon simple drag the brush edge of the marker along the edge. Don’t worry if you go off the edge a little bit because once you tie it you really don’t notice. I had fun with this technique and used it as just an accent. You can also see it on my Celebrate page for the Freewheeling Friday Post on January 2nd.

So give it a try and see what you can come up with.

Stampin’ Sunday 1-4-09

After I finished making the little wish boxed designed by Kelly Gettelfinger the I showed you in my Marvelous Monday post on December 29th I realized I still had a lot of stuff left from my Simply Scrappin’ Kit. So I decided so see what I could come up with. I got the design for this from one of Patty’s posts. So here is what I came up with.

I used the long ended envelopes to create my book. First I sealled them the cut of the very edge to make a pocket. Then I used my punch to punch a whole in each one to make it easy to pull out my cards.

I covered both sides of each envelope with paper. (I didn’t have enough paper left for these so I used some that I had, same thing with the pullouts.) I used the crop-a-dile to punch the holes in the side that I tied my ribbon through. I used the Aspen ribbon from the mini catalog.

I think this is a great book because of all the pull outs. It really allow you to put lots of pictures in it and it make a great gift. I used my extra pieces from the “I wish” Simply Scrapin’ kit to decorate my book.

Remember that this great kit could be on the retired accesories list. (I won’t know for sure until tomorrow.) So order yours today to make sure you get one. Click here to start placing your on-line order.

This is the fun Christmas Topper that I made. I made one for each of my down-line and filled the bags with goodies for their business. I thought they were cute and really easy.

I used the snow swirled set with the Big Shot Snowflakes. The bag is actually a larger one than Stampin’ Up! sells because I wanted to put 8 1/2 x 11 paper in them. The top is made with a 1/2 a sheet of 12×12 paper and scored 4″ down. Then I cut a slit in the top for the handle so that I would just slip the topper over the bag after it was filled.

If you ever need a quick gift idea try a topper they are so easy and so cute.
