Birthday Boxes

I made these boxes for some girls ages 8-11 in my neighborhood that had their birthday this summer. I told them that they had the same amount of candy in both the big and small boxes but they all picked the big ones first. A lot of the boxes I make them end up broken or thrown away so I kept them pretty simple, mainly stamps and paper but I can't make anything without ribbon and dimensionals :) Here you can see them a little better. The red ones use the Pink Flamingo DSP.

These boxes have the new Cottage Wall DSP.

These boxes have the DSP from the Petal Party Simply Scrappin Kit.

These boxes were all SO easy to make with the Big Shot dies. The big boxes are from the box #2 die and the small boxes are from the new Bitty Box and Envelope Die only available through Stampin' Up!

Sunshine Garden

I can't believe I haven't shown you this yet! This is a fun card that I made using my circle scissors! This is what it looks like closed,

and this is what it looks like opened! I left spaces for photos and journaling. These work great with simply scrappin kits, this one uses the Sunshine Garden one.

Here is the top view, you can tie it so it stays open if you like.

When I was making this I had some leftover paper and diecuts so I made these cute 3x3 cards to match.

If you would like me to send you a tutorial I made for this, e-mail me at kasia567@yahoo.com.

Thank You

Last night was my customer appreciation night and I want to say thank you again to everyone, we had a great time and made some fun projects. My customer appreciation night was a free class for my customers hostesses and club members from the past year.

I made some fun water bottle holders for the ladies to drink stamping style :)

We had lots of prizes and here are some of them. These are 2-4-6-8 boxes. I haven't made these for years and my sidelines reminded me of them. They are super easy to make. If you would like to learn how to make these, just let me know! For these boxes I used the paper from the retiring Best Ever simply scrappin kit and the Heartfelt Thanks stamps. To attach the ribbon, I punched a notch in the sides with my crop-a-dile before tying it with the Ridinghood Red ribbon.
This is the tool box we made last night. I changed the color again :) Everyone chose what tool stamp and greeting to put on their box.

The project that my club ladies made was this cool pop up cake. It was fun to watch everyone cringe about smashing the cake to close the card after learning how to put it together.

I will share the other 2 projects we made in the next few days :)

If you would like to be invited to my next customer appreciation night, the list starts now! All you need to do is place an order, host a workshop or class, or come to stamp club (or all of the above to be able to make all the projects) to be invited!

Clean and Simple Cards

I love Stampin' Up!'s Designer Series Paper (DSP). On the star card I used the Washington Apple DSP and on the heart card I used the DSP from the Sunshine Garden Simply Scrappin Kit. This is a great way to use up some of those scraps that we have laying around. I saw these cards and loved them, I basically copied the heart one. I just changed the paper and the greeting. The bottom of the cards is crimped with the crimper :)

The greetings come from the Just B stamp set and the Flight of the Butterfly stamp set.

Butterfly Purse

I have been debating for a while now whether I should post this or not, it is so not my favorite but I think the idea is so cute. I made this purse with the bigshot and my circle cutter. I think the saying is so cute it says "if nothing ever changed there would be no butterflies"

check back later for some blog candy!!!!!

Leftovers

I want to share with you what I did with the leftover pieces of my Simply Scrappin Kit after I made my scrapbook pages. The template for the Mini Magazine Holder you can find here.

Best Ever

For my class on Saturday we are making a birthday stationery box that was designed by Jackie Topa. We are using the Best Ever Simply Scrappin Kit. This box is amazing, it holds 10 full size cards and envelopes, 6 3x3 cards and envelopes and 6 tags. I modified this box to make it easier to make and stronger. I still have 2 spots open so let me know if you want to come make it with us!
