K-Cup Merry Cafe Treat Holder

12 / 20 / 17

Christmas is almost here! I’m so excited! It’s one of my favorite holidays and I love to give little gifts! I think this one of super cute, maybe to give to a co-worker, teacher, or leave in the mailbox for your mail person. It’s super easy to put together too!

Here is your free tutorial:

Cut a piece of Garden Green card stock to 2″ x 11″.
Score at 4 1/2″ and 6 1/2″.
Use Scallop Topper punch on both ends.
Cut a 3 15/16″ square out of Garden Green card stock and score at 1″ all the way around.
Then trim tabs as shown below. This will make the box close easier.
Score square piece on score lines and use Tombow Liquid Glue to close. You can also use tear and tape to close. Snail will not be strong enough to hold it closed.
Then glue it to the base using liquid glue.
I created the little coffee cup using the Merry Cafe Stamp set and Coffee Cups Framelits. The Paper is Be Merry Designer Series Paper.
I used VersaMark ink and stamped small snowflakes on the front of the treat holder. The stamp is part of the Merry Cafe Stamp set.
Close the top with a binder clip and add a ribbon. I added the silver snowflake using the dies from Colorful Seasons Bundle.

Here are the supplies for this treat holder:

Mini Cup Treat Holder

12 / 18 / 17

I originally posted this little cup last Christmas but it’s so cute, I had to repeat it! 🙂

I love things in small packages and this mini cup made me smile when I saw it. I wish I had created this cute little cup, but I didn’t. I saw two tutorials on pinterest. So credit for this project goes to a UK demonstrator, Heidi Smith at flutterbyheidi and Mel Pagano at My Paper Oasis.

So you can check out their tutorials and mine to get all the scoop!

You will need a piece of Designer Series Paper (I used my fav, Candy Cane Lane) that is 5 3/4″ x 3 1/4″. And score the long side at 7/8″, 1 3/4″, 2 5/8″, 3 1/2″, 4 3/8″, and 5 1/4″. Score the short side at 1″ and 2 1/4″.

Then trim the tab as shown and cut up to the score line on what will be the bottom of the cup.

Next, fold over the top rim of the cup and here with snail.

Now start folding the cup closed.

Put a glue dot on the tab and insert into the other side of the cup.

Turn the cup over and flare out the flaps. Put a glue dot on every other tab.

Then glue opposite ends together as shown until the bottom of the cup is completed.

To add stability to the cup, cut out scalloped circle (1 3/4″) and adhere one to the inside of the cup and one on the bottom.

For the handle, cut a strip of paper that is 1/2″ x 3″. Use your fingers to curl it slightly.

Adhere with glue dots.

And it’s done!

I’m filling mine with hershey kisses! Merry Christmas!

Candle Stamping for Christmas

12 / 15 / 1712 / 18 / 17

Christmas season is here and I love it! Something about Christmas makes me want to get crafty. I saw a youtube video on how to make these candles and went to the dollar store to get some and try it. Turns out you don’t have to actually stamp directly on the candle but on tissue paper instead. After posting a picture of my completed candles everyone wanted me to make a video showing how. So here’s the video and let me know if you make some of these beautiful candles!

Here are the stamp sets I used:

Teacher Gifts

12 / 4 / 1712 / 18 / 17

It’s December and even though it doesn’t feel like December here, I’ve been working on Christmas Teacher Gifts. It is suppose to be 80 degrees here today! Too hot but these cute little ornaments makes me think of snow.

My high schooler has finals this week before winter break so I worked hard this weekend to get teacher gifts ready for her to handout today. They turned out super cute!

I found the idea on pinterest and CASED it (copy and share everything). I used the Year of Cheer Designer Series Paper and the Hearts Come Home Bundle from the Holiday catalog. I hope her teachers like them. 🙂

Here is a list of supplies I used:

Holiday Class-to-Go

11 / 8 / 17

Today, I’m sharing three wonderful gifts for the Holidays. Two can hold treats. I love simple gifts that can hold a treat or candle to give at the holidays.

The first treat holder is a Christmas Lantern. I found this idea on Pinterest and love it! This super cute treat holder measures approximately 6″x2″. You can put wrapped candy in it or a food-safe bag with some candy in it. I think a small battery-operated candle would look super cute in this! I love the green sprigs, they really add so much to this cute lantern. The PDF tutorial that comes with the kit will have all the assembly directions with colored pictures and all the paper pre-cut and pre-scored plus the embellishments.

This super cute jar was featured in Stampin’ Success (a magazine for Stampin’ Up demonstrators) and I figured out how to do it with a fun technique using shipping tape to transfer the image to the jar. You will get all the details in the tutorial. You will have to provide the jar but I will provide all the embellishments in the kit. This would make a cute treat holder or you could put a candle in this one.

Silver and Gold is the theme of this beautiful handmade Christmas Tree Ornament and the box to give it in. You will create this gift project using the Hearts Come Home Bundle. The ornament measures about 4″.

I recommend you use Tear and Tape or Tombow liquid glue to assemble all of your 3D projects so that they will stay well put together by the time your recipient receives them. You will also need Glue Dots and Stampin’ Dimensionals. You will need Basic Black ink and Night of Navy Ink to complete these projects.

Each class kit will arrive at your front door sorted and organized by project. I will do all the scoring, punch and cutting for you (other than what needs to be done with your new Framelits.)

This Kit has four options:

Option #1 $70
This is the full Class To Go Kit. It includes the clear mount Carols of Christmas Stamp set. (a $20.00 value!), the clear mount Hearts come Home Bundle (a $47.50 value!), 1 yard of the Striped Ribbon, 1 yard of the Cherry Cobbler Double Stitched Ribbon and all three Make and Take materials. You will also receive the full step by step PDF tutorial. Email me for the registration link.

Option #2- $25
This is the Class to Go Kit for those of you who already own the Carols of Christmas Stamp set and the Hearts come Home Bundle. You will need the stamps and Framelits to create these projects, so only choose this option if you already own them. Your class to go kit will include 1 yard of the Striped Ribbon, 1 yard of the Cherry Cobbler Double Stitched Ribbon and all three Make and Take materials. You will receive Sitched Felt Embellishments for free!. You will also receive the full step by step PDF tutorial. Email me for the registration link

Option #1 and #2 both ship priority for $7. If you are local (Wylie) and would like to pick up your class kit, choose “Porch Pick Up” to save on shipping.

Option #3- $15
PDF only- want to cut your own cardstock and already own the products? This is the option for you. If you purchase the PDF Only option, you will be emailed the PDF Tutorial the week of November 13.

All class kits and included product will be ordered and prepared together after the deadline. This is a preorder only and per SU policy, I do not have product on hand ready to ship. Because of this, it takes about 1 week after the deadline for me to order, cut, prepare and ship all the class kits. Class Kits can only be mailed within the United States. If you live out of the US, you can still purchase the PDF.
Registration will close on November 21 st .

Expected shipping date of all kits is November 29.

Night In Bethlehem

10 / 14 / 1710 / 12 / 17

I know it’s not even Halloween yet but I can’t stop thinking about Christmas! It’s my favorite holiday of the year and there are only 74 days till Christmas! So, I wanted to share one of my favorite new bundles from the new Holiday Catalog.

Night in Bethlehem is a bundle that includes the stamp set and thinlets.

It’s easy to create some really beautiful cards with this set and I found when using this set, I didn’t need to add a lot of embellishment. And the sentiments are so beautiful.

On this card, I used Night of Navy and Whisper White. I’ve stamped the star image in Smokey Slate Ink. I used the thinlet to die cut the town and then used dimensionals to adhere it back on.

I used Dapper Denim Ink and stamped the town image and kept stamping upward without reinking to get this effect. I stamped and die cut the Joseph and Mary image and used dimensionals to adhere. I love the font for this sentiment. I added a few rhinestones around the star.

I love this last card. It’s a little more detailed but the effect is so worth it. The card base is Crumb Cake and the the other color is Basic Black. I created a mat using Basic Black and Whisper White card stock. There are two different town thinlets to use in the big shot. I cut one in Basic Black and one in Whisper White. I layered those on the card front. Added my Joseph and Mary image using Basic Black ink and the thinlet. And again the sentiment is so inspiring.

I got my ideas straight from pinterest. Remember if you get a new stamp set and you don’t know how to use it, just search on pinterest with the stamp set name and great ideas will come up. 🙂
