Good Morning Stampers! Hope your Tuesday is going well! I wanted to share a project that I shared awhile ago and I didn't realize that the link to the original person I got it from is no longer available OR that I never put the measurements for the project! So I would like to do that now. Which project am I talking about you ask? Well it was and still is a very addicting one, yes I am still making them and they are just the easiest and cutest things ever! You can see that link HERE!
It's the Nugget Purse OR Ghirardelli Purse Holder. I did a video on the the Ghirardelli Size which you can view HERE and the Nugget purse is put together the same way it's just different measurements. Which I'll give you now with a few tips.
Nugget Purse Holder:
Card-stock measures 3 x 5
Score as follows:
3" side – 1/2 in each side I did 2 1/2 turn then 2 1/2 on other side
5" side – 1 1/4 and 1 3/4 this is the front of the purse so if you are using a patterned paper make sure that when scoring it looks upside down. When you fold it UP it will be the right way. Does this make sense? If not let me know I can always take photos so you can see it.
Ok, so now the tip on how to get more bang for your buck. If you have the 6×6 Designer Series Patterned Paper that you can choose when you Host a Party you can get 2 purses out of it PLUS the wrappers for your nuggets!
What no LEFT OVERS? LOL! Love it!
Here is the photo so you can see how I did this.
Well I sure hope this is helpful and if you have any questions please don't hesitate to ask.
Happy Stampin',

Evening all. Well today was a busy Monday lots going on. I wanted to share my projects and cards that we did for my class that I had on Saturday. Now I have already shared all the Cards, just not the 3D projects. I do have to say I think the favorite was the Lion Card. I am showing a group shot but will share the 3D projects with more detail on each photo soon. Enjoy and thanks for stopping by.
Valentine Class Projects & Cards
On top are the 3 cards that I've shared before. The 3D projects from left to right are:
Love Top Note Die box – Saw this on SCS website and they have a great Video Tutorial and it was super easy to do. The Middle is from "Stampin' Up!s" New Petal Cone die – LOVE this die and was inspired by the On Stage presentation from Bonnie at Leadership in Nashville. Then I saw the one that my lovely Florida friend Sharon Field made, and HAD to "CASE" that Tag. You can't see it to well but you'll see it in a close up photo when I post it. It just gave it that extra "touch" and I think all the Ladies loved it too. Then the last one I cased from "Becky Roberts" she shared some super cute treat holders that she made during the Holidays for a craft fair and they were just the cutest so I new I had to make some for Valentines Day.
Questions please don't hesitate to ask. Check my events for upcoming classes

Good Morning all! Ok, so here is another share I have for you! I have been sooo wanting to make these for the longest. I saw these everywhere last year and am just now getting around to it. Talk about Easy??? Oh, Yes, SUPER easy! So let me tell you how it was done. If you'd like a photo tutorial comment me.
Supplies used are all Stampin' Up!
Stamp Set(s): Day of Gratitude #120835, Teeny Tiny Wishes #115370
Cardstock: Whisper White, Specialty DSP Autumn Spice (this is YUMMY paper)
Ink: Old Olive, Basic Black
Accessories: Old Olive Ribbon 5/8, Dazzling Diamond Glitter, Dimensionals, Word Window Punch, Modern Label punch, Sticky Strip, Big Shot, SU! Bigz Scallop Envelope # 113462
Basically all you do is cut out 2 of the Envelopes, Trim the bottom about a 1/2 inch or close to that. Then place both bottom pieces together using Sticky Strip and Ta Da, you got yourself a very cute little holder. Which I do have to say holds 2 Ghiradelli Chocolates nicely inside! If you still need the visual please don't hesitate to ask. I totally understand! Also, I will have another post a little later! Thanks for stopping by!

Happy Friday everybody! Is it just me or did this week just fly by? Well it sure seemed to for me, but then again I was super busy. I wasn't feeling to well yesterday but I mentioned I was making little treat holders for my son's class. Well I did get them done and wanted to share those today.
Now this project is an oldie but a goodie! Love the sourcream containers. They are super easy to make! If you haven't tried them you should. Below is a quick tutorial on how to make them. Would LOVE to see what you make. Comment me with the link!
Also I made his Teacher a cute little box with "Mr. Acorn". Is he not the cutest?
I got this idea from a fellow Demonstrator Doris Denman. Being a Stampin' Up! Demonstrator we have access to a site called "Stampin' Connection" and that's where I saw it! She's has other amazing projects that I'll just have to share a little later! ; )
His face is the Ornament Punch! How clever is that??? I will share more of Mr. Acorn a little later.
Now on to the Picture Tutorial for the Sourcream Container!
Stamp set: Day of Gratitude, Teeny Tiny Wishes.
Ink used was: Early Espresso, Old Olive, More Mustard, Crajun Craze, Chocolate Chip & Basic Black
Step 1
I randomly stamped a full sheet of Very Vanilla cardstock using the Leaf, the acorn and Happy Thanksgiving using the colors mentioned above.
Step 2
Cut into 4 even pieces 4 1/4 then in half at 5 1/2 you'll have 4 pieces measuring 4 1/4 x 5 1/2.
Step 3
Next you'll put your adhevsive as shown.
Step 4
You'll want to take off the sticky strip from the 4 1/4 inch side and roll like toilet paper and you'll end up with what should look like a toilet paper roll.
Step 5
They you'll take the sticky strip off of one side and squeeze together like shown.
Step 6
Put that end into the crimper and turn about 3 times. This will hold the sticky strip real good in place.
Before you pull off the next side of sticky strip put your goodies inside. I used Hershey's Kisses 3-4 will fit good inside.
Step 7
Squeeze again put the opposite way. Look at the bottom of the photo.
Then run through the crimper again and you are done. Now you can add a tag to these too! How cute would that be. I just ran out of time.
This will be your finished project! Now was that easy or what?
As always thanks for stopping by and tomorrow I'll share the party favors I made for my Son's end of the season baseball party. TOO fun!
Have a great weekend and Happy Stampin',

Hello again! So here again I wanted to share this SUPER Cute and may I day SUPER EASY Treat holder. Perfect for ANY thing you might be celebrating! I got this idea from Patty Bennetts Blog! TONS of great stuff there too! Everything used is Stampin' Up! Surprised? ; )
Stamp Set – Got Treats
Ink – Pumpkin Pie, Basic Black
Cardstock – Pumpkin Pie, DSP Wicked Fun, Old Olive, Whisper White
Accessories: Dimensionals, Scallop Punch, 1 3/8 & 1 1/4 circle Punch and Black 5/8" grosgrain ribbon, Big Shot & Two Tags Die
As I mentioned these are super easy to make. Basically all you do is cut out 2 Tags from the Two Tags Die (#115-954) with your Big Shot. On the bottom of one of the tags add Sticky Strip and that is IT! EASY right??? I would say so, then just decorate and add your candy to the inside.
Stop by tomorrow and I'll show you a few other projects! Thank for stopping by &
Happy Stampin',

Yes, I am still here! I am so sorry! Let's just say that I have had LOTS going on since coming back from Convention. Spent the Summer trying to get more Organized (work in progress) and really made a dent in things. But also wanted to spend as much time with my Son before he started 1st grade and he's be in school ALL DAY long. I think he's finally used to it! Poor thing his first week he comes home and says "Mom, when do I get to come home early?" Awe! He didn't realize that those were the new hours now. Oh, then Hubby and I were planning our Anniversary get away, had a blast in Cambria, Ca. Very nice and quiet there.
But anyway, am now getting back to the swing of things and wanted to start the week with a video that I said I was going to make of the Scallop Purses I made for Convention. So enjoy and if you have any questions please let me know. Thanks for stopping by and being patient while I get my blog back up and running.
Happy Stampin,
