Hi Friends,
The Jar of Love stamp set and Everyday Jars Framelits were used to make this cute treat!
But before I tell you a bit about it, I want to THANK Demonstrator Robin Johnson for sharing this project with me! It was her design and I appreciate her talent!
What do YOU think?
I stamped the small jar with black Memento ink then cut it out with the corresponding Framelit Die.
The Tic Tacs were attached to the center of the jar using two Glue Dots then put it in a 2″x8″ cello bag. Then I tied about 8″ of Night of Navy Baker’s Twine around the neck of the jar and tucked it into the cello bag.
The cello bag was cut down to accommodate the topper. I laid the cello bag inside the topper and stapled it together.
Calypso Coral card stock was cut at 2 1/2″ x 3″ and scored at 1 1/2″. I added a piece of Garden Impressions DSP, cut at 2 1/4″ x 1 1/4″ then Snailed it onto the folded Calypso Coral piece.
The Layering Ovals Framelits were perfect to make the background piece and I used the ‘For You’ from Cake Soiree to stamp the message.
Just to give it a tad of pizzazz, I added a Glitter Enamel Dot!
What do YOU think? I think this would be a CUTE favor for Thanksgiving or Christmas ! Imagine the possibilities!
Valentine’s Day favor using the candy hearts or even St Patrick’s Day with a Peppermint Patty! Stay tuned for more versions!

Hi Friends,
When I saw how CUTE Love You To Pieces stamp set was, I knew I had to have it!
I see so many possibilities with it – in all colors and with lots of candies!
This is one Pillow present I gave to my peeps at OnStage in Orlando AND in Maine. ( I love showering my peeps with little love gifts—passing it on and I SO APPRECIATE my peeps!!)
These were so easy to make!
A few Reese’s Pieces in out little cello bags –topped over with a piece of Daffodil Delight card stock.
Then I used the FUN puzzle pieces from the Love You To Pieces stamp set!
FUN FUN FUN and I think cute!
What do YOU think?
Can’t you also see this set being used for other occasions?

Hi Friends,
I do love the Fall!
The smell of autumn is intoxicating to me.
I love the colors which tell me the summer has worked very hard…now is time for the leaves to ‘rest’.
So when I saw this Stampin’ UP! Falling For Leaves stamp set, I knew I had to have it!
Here is my very own version of a card I will be excited to send.
The base is Merry Merlot and the next layer is Old Olive.
I embossed the Very Vanilla layer with the NEW Subtles Dynamic Embossing Folder.
You can’t see the impressions…. well because it’s ‘subtle’ but in real life, it is VERY nice.
It adds just enough texture to give it some extra ‘subtle’ attention!
Next I took the leaf stamps and using Old Olive, Merry Merlot and Cajun Craze inks, stamped then cut them out with the Thinlits.
Then for just a bit of pizzazz, I took Old Olive ribbon and Linen Thread to make a small bow. This was attached with a Glue Dot.
In the opposite corner I just had to add a Gold Faceted gem.
The message was layered onto a piece of Merry Merlot and adhered with Dimensionals. AND of COURSE I just had to use a bit of Wink of Stella –here and there for interest. To me, Wink of Stella is a must fro any project–it adds a sparkle of interest!
What do YOU think?

Hi Friends,
This week I’m in Orlando for our 30 year Stampin’ Up! Celebration convention!
One of the FUN things we do is create cards to swap with other Demonstrators ( over 5000 of us!!!)
This is one Swap card I designed.
I used Gray Granite as the base –such a subtle color –I LOVE it!
The next layer is Coastal Cabana embossed with the Layering Leaves Folder.
Then I took a piece of the Silver Foil card stock and layered Frosted Floral DSP on top of that.
Those papers are soooooo beautiful–one side has a muted shimmery appearance to it. GORGEOUS!
The Silver Foil paper makes the designer paper really POP!
SO I swapped these with my house mates and I’ll show you what I received in return when I’m back in Massachusetts.
I’m SURE I’ll have some gorgeous cards to share with all of you!

Hi Friends,
Ho-ho-HO! This adorable Stampin’ Up! stamp set Signs of Santa makes me LAUGH!
Here is the card I made all by myself! HA HA HA!
FIrst, I love the expressions on ALL the elves and Mr and Mrs Claus!
Look at this little impish elf!
He’s popped up with a few Dimensionals.
I LOVE the predominant color palette – Poppy Parade and Garden Green. Festive and bright!
It was fun making this one by using the Santa’s Signpost Framelits and the Santa’s Workshop DSP.
My message was used with the Silver Foil Paper and the Merry Christmas Thinlit Dies.
Yet another option for holiday cards!
I hope you like it and if you have any questions, please contact me!

Hi Friends,
Once my mind has accepted the fact that snow is tight around my corner, I DO get excited about pretty snowy cards!
AND THIS IS ONE!
I used Bermuda Bay, Coastal Cabana and Whisper White card stock.
Stamping with a variety of the snowflake stamps and both corresponding inks was fun –it was completely random!
You can see the shimmery snowflakes?
I used the Blizzard Thinlit Die with Sparkle Glimmer Paper!
Of course you can see the Rhinestone Jewel in the center of a few of the snowflakes–a little extra bling!
