Stampin’ Up Forever Lovely Gift Ensemble Video Tutorial

February 5, 2019

I have a treat for you today that you can treat someone with for Valentine’s Day, a Birthday, or a Just Because…

And here is a video to show you how to make the trio of projects!

Please note: Use a strong adhesive when adhering the sides of the bag together and with the trim around the top that goes over the handles.
I found my Snail did not adhere it strong enough after my video was done!!

The gift is a pizza box filled with a treat:

I filled this one with an EOS hand lotion.

I made a bag in a box to hold the pizza box with the gift.

A matching card slips into the bag easily.

Actually, the bag in a box is perfect for gifting a set of cards.
You can tuck at least 3 cards with envelopes, maybe even five, in a landscape position perfectly.

Thanks for buzzing by…

Pizza Box:
Outer square 3-1/4″, Inner square 3″, Die cut square 2-3/4″ and trimmed on edges
Bag in a box:

Stampin’ Up Happy Tails and Nine Lives

December 24, 2018

Hello, friends! Are you ready for Christmas?
I have been busy up in my stamping room…so who knows if I am ready?!?

Two NEW bundles I was playing with were Happy Tails and Nine Lives.

I have to say I was a little stumped why the Happy Tails stamp set said FRIENDS FOREVER
when it had JUST FUR YOU in the sentiments…
just ask my roomie, Janet, how I blabbed on about that at our convention…lol.
However, I got what I wanted when I got a little creative with my words…

I love how the cat is all uppity with her jeweled collar and the dog is all submissive and obedient.

I made the nesting hearts with the Be Mine Stitched Framelits. Isn’t it neat how they look?

A great Valentine for two friends when one is a cat person and the other a dog person:)
