Apron Builder Hunter

Hi Stampers,

It's hunter night's eve and I'm sure all the hunters have all their gear laid out and are catching some zzzzz's about now. The Apron Builder makes a cute little hunter's vest don't you think? Hunters have to take some snacks out with them so what's better than some beef jerky? Maybe some venison jerky if they are one of the lucky ones!!!! LOL Cut a piece of DSP 5-1/2 x 6 (or whatever size your jerky is) and wrap around. Adhere down the center with tear and tape. Adhere each end. I used my still beloved paper crimper for the ends.

Have a safe deer hunting morning tomorrow!!!

3D Deer Hunter Package

Hi Stampers,

Because I live in Michigan and deer season is almost upon us, I thought it would be fun to create a little "deer hunter package" complete with a mini bottle of Fireball Whiskey and a package of handwarmers. We received our first snow last Friday and I was squealing with joy!! I love the first snowfall.

The "deer" is actually a sprig punch hiding behind the pine tree. LOL The sentiment from Winter Woods is perfect for this package. The Cookie Cutter Hunter coordinates with this as well. And to think, Stampin' Up! really doesn't have any actual hunting stamps in this catalog. HA!!!! We worked around that!!!

Directions:

1. Cut a piece of Soft Suede CS 3 x 10-3/4". Score at 4-3/4" and 6" along the long side. Using the Woodland Embossing Folder.
2. Cute a piece of Soft Suede CS 3 x 5. Score along long side at 1-1/4", 2-1/2", 3-3/4". Die cut second row with an oval framelit.
3. Cut a piece of Soft Suede CS 1 x 7 and wrap around back of pouch and adhere end to end. Slide in Hot Hands.
4. Stamp a "Cookie Cutter Santa" and color with blends. Punch out.
5. Die cut a Pumpkin Pie scalloped oval. Die cut a Very Vanilla oval using a framelit.
6. Die cut a tree from the In The Woods set using Old Olive CS.
7. Punch a sprig from the sprig punch using Crumb Cake CS.
8. Stamp sentiment on Very Vanilla. Cut out using Paper Trimmer.
9. Tie Burlap Ribbon in  bow. Tie Shaded Spruce twine in a bow and attach with glue dot to a binder clip.

Enjoy!!! I hope someone you know is successful in his deer hunting  adventure!!!

Book of Spells

Hi Stampers,

Sorry I was MIA last week. I spent last Sunday in my craft room trying to create projects for last week. It seemed like whatever I did, nothing would turn out right. I was cutting cardstock the wrong length, dropped an ink pad on an almost finished card.... you get the picture. I decided I just needed to take a break and take a step back which I did. Hopefully this week will go a lot smoother. I thought instead of featuring product of the weeks posts this week  I would show some Halloween treat holders.

One announcement I would like to make is Stampin' Up! is having a 24 hour only Stamp Sale TOMORROW ONLY!!!

Lilypad Lake Shadowbox Card

Hi Stampers,

Going along with my challenge, today I made a shadowbox card with the Lilypad Lake stamp set. I also used the palm tree image from the Waterfront stamp set. You can't have an ocean scene without some palm trees!!!! This card goes well with the weather we are having here in Michigan--another 90 degree day and muggy. Hopefully the humidity will settle down and soon.

I did do a lot of masking with this card-sunset, water and sentiment. The sentiment was die cut even smaller than the framelit in the Lilypad bundle. You just die cut using the framelit, run it through the Big Shot, move the framelit over and run it through the Big Shot again.

Top view of card:

I also used Whisper White for the "back panel" so you can turn the card over to write your message to the recipient.

Shadowbox Card

1. Cut 2 pieces of cardstock 4-1/4 x 5-1/2 inches. Score each piece along the 5-1/2" piece at 1/2, 1, 4-1/2 and 5 inches.
2. Die cut or punch out your opening on the front piece.
3. Stamp image on the back panel.
4. Burnish all score lines.
5. Using tear tape adhere your card together on both ends.
6. Using scrap cardstock, stamp your sentiment and cut out.
7. Embellish card if needed.

I hope you give this fun fold a try!!! Remember to add this stamp bundle to your shopping cart today!! If you spend $50 or more before shipping and handling, you will receive a $5 off your order for next month!!! No limits!!!

Milwaukee OnStage and Swaps

Hi Stampers,

I was fortunate and blessed to be able to attend Milwaukee OnStage this past weekend. What a blast!!! First of all, it was to celebrate my upline, Dawn Olchefske's, $1 million dollars in sales achievement!! WOOHOO!!!! We are so proud and happy for her!!! When they blast the confetti cannons I thought she was going to jump off stage as she wasn't expecting them. Here she is with Shelli on stage:

If you ever get a chance to attend OnStage-DO IT!!! You meet so many people and learn different tips and tricks. It is SO WORTH IT!!!

Here is our group of DOStamper Stars:

Before OnStage I posted my two 3D swaps on Facebook. Well, needless to say and happy by the way, the demonstrators loved them. I thought I would post pics and directions here. Sadly, the Lots to Love Box Framelit Die is going to be retired. This is what I used to make the box. It is easy to make just time consuming (does that even make sense-LOL) Cut 2 of the Lots to Love Box Framelits. Take one and cut an oval shape out. The one that you cut the oval shape out of do NOT fold on the score line. Leave it upwards to create the arch. Adhere both together but cut the small tabs off the side of the one with the oval.

Stamp and die cut out the floral swag from the Hold to Hope stamp and die set. Adhere to the front of the box. Cut 8, 3/8" strips of Whisper White paper. Sponge the edges with Smokey Slate. Punch the end of each one with the Classic Label punch. Adhere to box around the oval. Trim the ends.  Punch flowers from the Tree Builder punch and add rhinestones.  Also stamp and die cut the butterfly from the Hold on to Hope set. Add the flower seeds and package.  This would make a great Mother's Day Gift to hand out at church, co-worker, friend, teacher..........

My 2nd 3D swap-Apple Pie Air Freshener:

For this project my inspiration came from Erica Cerwin. She recently made a card with an apple pie on it. Since I had just posted recently about my Lemon and Orange Air Fresheners--I thought I would try the apple pie. And, it worked!!!

Supplies needed:

4" square coasters, Cherry Cobbler cardstock, Tree Builder punch for the apples, Delicate Doilies, Tombow glue, 1/8" whisper white sheer ribbon, 1/4" Cherry Cobbler double stitched ribbon, Glue Dots, Basket weave Embossing Folder, Sponge, Crumb Cake Ink, Pretty Label punch, Stitched framelits, Circle Layering Framelits, Apron of Love stamp set and framelits, Big Shot, clear envelopes, stapler, Crop a Dile, Wood Textures DSP, Essential Oils or Warmer Diffusing Oil

Cut one of each from the coasters. One stitched circle and one scallop circle. Emboss the stitched circle with the Basket weave Embossing folder. Glue together with TomBow glue. Punch hole with Crop a Dile. Apply oil on the back of the scallop circle and let dry. After drying, sponge the embossed side with Crumb Cake ink. Thread the white sheer ribbon and tie a knot. Tie a bow around this with the Cherry Cobbler stitched ribbon. Punch 2 apples, take basic black marker to color stem and attach with glue dots to the front. To package as I did-you need the Apron of Love stamp set and framelits. Stamp the I heart baking on Wood Textures DSP. Cut out with the rolling pin framelit. Attach to the Cherry Cobbler Pretty Label punch. Fold a doilie in half over the clear envelope and staple.

Please subscribe to my blog to see these and other projects. I would LOVE to be your demonstrator!!!

I hope you are able to give these a try!!!

Lots to Love Box 3D Lemonade Stand

Hi Stampers,

First of all, don't forget Sale-A-Bration will be ending at the end of this month--which is at the end of next week!!! EEEKKK!!! That went by way too fast!!! Can I ask something of you? I am close to meeting my goal I set for Sale-A-Bration but not quite there yet. Would you help me out and go to my website and place your order before next week? I would truly appreciate it!!

Now, for today's blog post. Playing with the Lemon Zest stamp set and Lemon Builder punch last week, I came up with the cute idea of making my own Lemonade Stand out of the Lots to Love Box Die. All you need to do is cut 2 of the box framelits only take one of the die cuts and cut off the tabs so the top is open. Then, take a layering square framelit and cut out the opening. Stamp with the Hardwood stamp. Put box together and decorate. I put in 2 of the Crystal Light drink mixes in mine. Isn't this cute? I used the Colorful Seasons stamp to make the little lemons and limes banner.

All decorated and ready to give away!!!

I hope I was able to inspire you in some way. I hope you get to play!!!

Make sure you go to my website to place your order!!! Thank you so much!!!
