Get Well Soon

One of my sweet little gals from church (she's 8) fell out of a tree and broke her little arm. Broke my heart. She's such a little cutie patootie. :)

So, I made this little Get Well Soon treat box and attached it to a balloon. It uses my beloved Matchbox Die and the "It's a Wrap Occasions" stamp set that I use so much. It's so versatile, I'm telling you--it should be a MUST HAVE in your stamp stash too!

Wedding Favors

One of my good friends is getting married on Friday and after giving her one of these Halloween Hershey nuggat boxes for Halloween she asked me if I would make some wedding favors for her.

I am getting to be a pro at assembling these little matchboxes with all that I've created over the past few months. They are just so simple to make and give a lasting impression to the recipients! So, here's yet one more example of how to use the "It's a Wrap Occasions" and the Matchbox die. If you are still dragging your heels about ordering these fantastic items, how many more examples do you need me to share with you before you are sold on how versatile and awesome it is?! Get on over to my website and order them stat! You won't regret it! ;)

The DSP used on these boxes is not Stampin' Up! and is a DSP that she provided to match her invites and other wedding projects that she created. Everything else used is Stampin' Up! Well, minus the Hershey nuggats of course. :)

Dad's Birthday Favors

We threw my Dad a birthday party this past weekend, which was so much fun! I found an idea on Pinterest to collect 60 memories from his friends and family (from his past and present) and present them in a packet of 60 envelopes for his 60th Birthday. It was so wonderful to see how this project affected my dad and how much he genuinely appreciated all of the notes and memories that his friends and loved ones shared.

It was a small party (relatively speaking) with 25 of of his closest friends and family. We found some "60th" birthday decorations at a local party place and I just used that to coordinate the favor colors for the treat boxes I made. As I have mentioned before, the Matchbox Treat Box is my current favorite treat die. I just can't get enough of it, honestly!

I used the "Happy Cake Day" stamp from the "It's a Wrap Occasions" stamp set for the belly band wraps around the Hershey nuggat candies this time around. Everyone loved them!

Sale-a-Bration Treat Box

The Matchbox Treat Box is currently one of my "go-to" treat boxes. Especially since Stampin' Up! now offers a coordinating "It's a Wrap Occasions" stamp set that wraps perfectly around Hershey nuggats (yum!). Four nuggats fit perfectly inside the Matchbox Treat Box and makes for an adorable favor for any occasion!

Using the Sale-a-Bration Everyday Enchantment DSP, I created a few thank you treat boxes to take with me to Leadership.

August workshops continued

This is the last batch of my August workshop projects. It's ironic--I've had these projects finished for weeks and yesterday morning I walked into church and the praise and worship team/choir's outfit color palette were these EXACT colors: Wild Wasabi, Tempting Turquoise, Rich Razzleberry and Whisper White! I couldn't believe it--it made me smile...and then I thought how obsessed I must be that the first thing I associate when I see colors are the names of our color palette. ;) I know I'm not the only out there who does this, am I right? :D

The first image was my first Demo-clean and simple, to show guests how easy stamping is so that anyone can do it! Then I Demo'd the coordinating 3D Matchbox treat box, made using the Big Shot.

Finally, I showed finished projects: a stepped up card and coordinating scrapbook layout, for those who aren't as interested in card making.

Coming up with the color palette for these layouts was a cinch using our marvelously re-designed color coach.
