I knew that you would have liked yesterday post and the winner is HJ. Woot-Woot to you and please email me with your address and I will send you your goodies! Thanks for all of the comments and YES – that kit would be a PERFECT for teachers and friends! They are super easy to make and it is a fun project to make with children….someone that it totally new to crafting….
Now hold on to your hats for this one…I am OVER THE MOON with today's post and this framelit!
It is called the Bakers Box Framelit but it also comes as a bundle which deserves an instant WOOT-WOOT as this means that you will save an automatic 15%. If you do purchase it as a bundle you will see in the picture below the stamp set that comes with it!
I know…I know….many of you are saying – this framelit is so expensive. Yep, I will not deny that it is an investment but are there certain things that are an investment? I can remember how many months I was trying to convince myself to purchase the Berry Basket BIGZ die and after I did…I was a happy stamper as it makes super cute projects…and I can honestly say in a second – no regrets!
I have not even begun to scratch the surface with this gem as you can see in the above picture that there are other framelits in there that you can cut a framelit shape on a side of the Bakers Box for a "window effect" How cute is that!
I have been trying to hold off on showcasing many "sneak peaks" as why do I want to torture you but to me now, the hour glass has turned and September 1st will be here before you know it!
The adorable dots came from the Homemade for You Stamp Set that is in the bundle and I used good old Versamark again. The BEST thing about this stamp and also the stripe one is that they fit PERFECTLY in the Bakers Box panels so no guess work what so ever.
Real Red Pom-Poms…..ADORABLE!!!! I was so happy when I saw them in the catalog and YES, they are included in my Holiday Catalog 2015 Product Share. The Stamp Set is another sneak peek called Among the Branches – a practical stamp set as it covers Halloween, Fall and Christmas!
Now what about THIS ONE….SUPER CUTE OR WHAT!?!? I have a confession…I needed to re-ink my Rich Razzleberry ink pad and when you do…I always let it sit for about 30 minutes to let the ink settle and get even. Well….I did not wait – I just went for it and you can see that the image is nor solid and crisp but I looked at it and thought – I LIKE IT….it looks spooky!
It's always fun making Lemonade when you least expect it!
The "Web" is another newbie that can be a Web or you can flip it over and have a beautiful White Snowflake! The Web is larger than what you see on the about box but I simply snipped off a couple of layers to make it fit for my needs. These Webs and also the silver Cording Trim are also on the Holiday Catalog 2015 Product Share
PLEASE REMEMBER THAT THE HOLIDAY PRODUCT SHARES WILL NOT BE BILLED TO YOU VIA PAY PAL UNTIL SEPTEMBER 1st – THAT IS THE DATE THAT THE CATALOG GOES LIVE!
BECAUSE OF STAMPIN' UPS! POLICY, I CANNOT PROCESS AND SHIP UNTIL SEPTEMBER 1st…BUT NO WORRIES, I'VE GOTCHA COVERED!
Pulling the silver together, I popped out a silver scalloped circle to mat behind the spooky sentiment and then I snipped several pieces of the new cording and tied in the black ribbon – FUN and FESTIVE!
Well my friends…I hope that you are doing the happy dance with these cute boxes and I am saving something great to the end…something that I think will make you happy! When you make these, it takes (2) 6X6 pieces of paper….WOOT-WOOT……our paper stacks are 6 X 6 – I have visions of some beautiful Bakers Boxes!
I hope that these brought a smile to your face. When I showed Hannah is was sooooo happy with them and said – "Can you make me some to take back to school, these would be great for my friends" They are fun to make…you certainly can add your personality and flair to them and fill them with many things!
Here is the Tuesday fun…the weekly deals – Please click here and see the offerings this week. Remember they are available today thru next Monday night….thank you Stampin' Up! for doing this!
Let's all have a great day and please feel free to email me if you have any questions! If you are not currently working with a Stampin' Up! Demonstrator, please let me know if you would like me to mail you a Holiday Catalog, (For my current customers, yours should be arriving….get that cup of coffee ready!!!)
I have some super great posts for you this week and I am super excited to kick off the week showcasing this kit. Have you ever been excited to put something together but you just haven't made the time to do so? Well, this is totally me with this kit.
The minute I saw it in the catalog I knew that it was coming to Randall Lane. WHY???? Easy-peasy because I knew that Stampin' Up! would have this be a super sturdy product and I loved the fact that everything is included to make these gems…all for just $14.00.
(click on the below image to see everything up close…it is amazing all that is in there and the best thing = you walk away with 10 adorable boxes!)
True, the stamp set is not in the kit but they showcase the All Boxed Up Stamp Set to be used with it and you will see in my pictures that I did use it an made it right as the video has shown and it is SUPER cute and then you will see that I stepped some up and used a stamp set that I have and wowzers, I love it! (Remember, you can click any of the products that are at the end of the post to see them up close)
I have a bunch of pictures for you as I know you love pictures. I hope that you can see not only the quality of this product, but also think of how you can use these…perfect for a quick thank you, a birthday, an office gift and they really do hold a bunch!
Please grab a cup of coffee and watch this short video. Stampin' Up! is doing a BANG UP job with these product videos – you will see first hand how easy it is to put them together!
I follow the directions to the tee and the pom-pom trim totally makes me smile – to me, it is the FUN icing on the cake and they supply you with AMPLE bakers twine…you know that I love to use multiple strands to make my bows and I have plenty left!
Now I am going to show you a simple addition I did and to me, it made a great difference and one that I totally think is worth it. I used the new decorative masks, Happy Patterns with versamark. Have you ever tried these masks? If not…try them – they are fun, they are effective and they are super affordable.
Here you can see them side by side, one completed just as the kit suggested and the other with the masks and then I used a sentiment from the Tin of Cards Stamp Set (I used this stamp set last month for my Stamp of the Month Kit and this is a STELLAR stamp set….to me a total must have as the sentiment and fonts are fantastic)
In the kit there are 2" circles and there are some extras so I just used them but I did use the scalloped punch to mat behind, remember – punches are speed tools – speed tools save us a ton of time = This makes us happy!
The above one I added another banner using a scrap – it just feels wonderful to use up scraps – and then after adhering them together I used the bone folder to slightly curl the banner before I adhered it to the box.
The Itty Bitty Flowers were my "hiding place" to cover up the glue dot I used anchor the bakers twine. So what do you think….they are cute? I really like these masks – for just $6.00 you will get (4) different stencils and they clean up very easily….I simply run them under water and presto….wipe them dry!
Now you know how I feel about dots…a HUGE smile is instantly on my face and I hope that you pop back tomorrow as I think I have another FUN post that will bring a HUGE smile on your face and I also hope that it will be an inspiration for you!
Well…thoughts my friends? How do you like them…..do you feel that you could find a need for them? I honestly cannot see how you could not as it would easily brighten someones day and you can really use soooooo many stamps that you already have on your shelf!
Leave me a comment by 9 p.m. (Eastern) and let me know how you like them…and when you pop back on Tuesday, one person will win the Gold Sheet of stickers that are in the kit and then I will also send you (2) of these for you to make and decorate. (I will use the versamark mask on one for you and the other will be plain so you can see the difference!
Remember that I do offer a Simple Stampin’ Paw Prints Rewards which will allow you to earn free stamp sets…for every $25.00 you will earn a Paw Print. You know what I would do? I would order these (3) things and you will get a Paw Print…
Go ahead and HIT THAT SHOP NOW button or use the scrolling store…and get your week started off great with a Paw Print! I am excited for tomorrow…super cute, super fun and a KEEPER for so many occasions!
P.S. – I just had to share this with you…it makes me so happy when I feel like I have inspired you to try a post. Look at this super fun card…great job Patty and many thanks for letting me share your fun card.
Well…well – I am so glad that you liked yesterdays card and I hope that this one will make you smile as well! Happy Sunday to all…here is “Mr. Elephant" stepped up a bit. Not drastic changes but changes that I think him look a bit spiffier! The changes are stars…stars and his ear!
Let’s get to the changes and then you can see if you think that it is worth the extra effort. I think it is and really the only one that was a bit of a “pain in the drain” was the little stars. (you can click on the collage to make it super big)
I was hoping to use the star from the itty bitty accents pack but the scale of it was too large so PLAN B = the confetti stars border punch came in handy!
The card was created just the same as yesterdays post but I used the star from the Tin of Stamps Set with Versamark to randomly stamp around. I love the effect as I think that it is subtle enough but it also does the trick to add some pizzazz.
Let’s get to the ear….don’t you just love Elephants BIG ears!?!? I just stamped it 3 more times (just the ear area) on scraps and fussy cut them out. For 1 of them, make sure that you leave a little edge that you can fold over and adhere with green glue – (the pictures will help you)
I know that this might be a bit overkill but what the heck – it really does not take too much extra time and I think the end result is super cute.
For the stars….those darn, tiny stars. It really is not bad and this is what I did…I put a small amount of green glue on the edge of the “elephant area” and let it dry a bit so when I used tweezers to place the little stars on there would be no oozing from the glue.
Yesterday I did not show you the back of this card but how do you like the little pocket I added to the back? It is perfect to tuck a note in and then the recipient can just stand their card up! The sweet sentiment is from the Happy Happenings Stamp Set but I am sure that you have many sentiments that would be appropriate!
Well…there you go – I hope that you liked this card and I hope that I have inspired you to give it a try. It really is a fun twist and you will get rave reviews!
Other ideas that work great with this card is to add Bakers Twine and the sentiment hanging down across the top of the card . I would use a simple glue dot to hold it in place.
I did have a couple of emails yesterday asking if it will still stand up after it goes through the mail? YES….because you have used your bone folder well…the card will pop right back into place. (I have had one on my office since February and it is still standing strong!!!
Thanks for your time today and please feel free to email me if you have any questions. You will see the products that I used in the scrolling store below or you can hit that SHOP NOW button and go to town in your jammies!
