Stamping with Pennie

Scalloped Envelope Box

  This is such a great box that measures about 3 1/8" square, so it really can hold something with some size to it.  AND it is perfect to hold some 3" x 3" note cards.  Matter of fact, that is just what I have filled it with.  The box is out of More Mustard card stock and embellished with Chocolate Chip card stock and the Autumn Vine designer paper.  Hey check out the ribbon, isn't that gorgeous?  it is a new ribbon from the current Holiday Mini Catalog - it is FELT!!!!

The letters are die cut with my BIG SHOT and the "Naturally Serif" alphabet - you get so many great little letters with one swipe of the card stock through it!

The card stocks used for this project are Creamy Caramel, More Mustard and Really Rust on the note cards plus the designer paper "Autumn Vine".  The owls are all from the stamp set "Owl Together Now".  Aren't they cute.  This stamp set was given to all those that were on Stampin' Up!'s incentive trip to Bermuda last Spring - LUCKY ME!

Impact

  This card was a surprise that I recently received in the mail.  I love all the color and the lack of lots of colors.  My girlfriend Pam sent it too me.

Notice the way she has over stamped many times the card stock for the background.  I love the crispness too of the white embossed flowers that are the focal point.

Pam used the stamp set "Upsy Daisy", which I think is an automatic favorite of so many.  She has used this years gorgeous "in Color" Pacific Point card stock, ink and double striped grosgrain ribbon.

Thank you Pam!

Pillow Box Die Cut

  The pillow box die cut makes the cutest, tiniest of boxes, just right for holding a small treat.  This one holds two little Kit Kat bars - who would think?

The designer paper used for this project is from the "Washington Apple" collection. The flower is a biece of So Saffron card stock punched with the "Trio Flower" punch.  I love adding these tiny little sweet flowers to items.  The flower has been sponged around the edge with matching So Saffron ink.  The greeting is from the stamp set "Thank You Kindly".

Here is the back of the tag - with these wonderful die cuts, you can finish off everything!  The ribbon is Apricot Appeal.  The back of the tag is "So Saffron" card stock.

Season of Friendship

  This stamp set is in the current mini catalog Holiday Mini Catalog on page 6 AND the coordinating double sided designer card stock is there on the page right next to it - 7.

Both were used on this card.  Other itmes used on this card are:

Card stock: Chocolate Chip, Creamy Caramel, Sage Shadow and Whisper White.

Classic Inks: Creamy Caramel, Really Rust, Sage Shadow and Chocolate Chip.

Accessories:  Build a Brad and Sage Shadow 1/4" grosgrain ribbon. 

What another great gift idea!

Need A Gift - this one is perfect

  Want to know what is in it?  It is two bars of soap that have been wrapped in tissue paper and then stacked one on top of the other.

A piece of "Georgia Peach" double sided designer paper has been wrapped around the bars and tied with a lovely piece of wide Regal Rose grosgrain ribbon.  Hanging from the ribbon is the very best part. 

Have I mentioned how much I am enjoying my BIG SHOT die cutter?  Well the flower hang tag is cut so easily with the Flower Layers W/Leaf die.  You can adhere the patterned paper to the chip board so easily BEFORE YOU make your cuts.  Go ahead, glue it to both sides (I love to use Stampin' Up!'s glue stick for this).  Oh, my gosh, then all you do is run it through this wonderful machine and you have it!  Layer a couple of them add a spectacular rhinestone bradand you are done.  Well, you may want to punch a hole with your CROP-A-DILE (right through all those layers) and attach a string to add it to your present.

Just a Treat and no Trick!

 This is a fun little gift - the box is made using Stampin' Up!'s exclusive die " Scalloped Envelope" for the new BIG SHOT!

I used the very fun double sided designer paper on page 170 of the Big Idea Book and Catalog.  It is called Ghostly Greetings.  Because the paper is double sided, it is a perfect match with this box, because the upper edge of the sides fold to the outside.

The image on the front of the box is from the Holiday Mini Catalog "Eat, Drink, & be Scary".  The notes inside are fold over 3 x 3 gift cards, they are blank and ready to stamp!  There are plenty of envelopes and yards of ribbon for embellishing the note cards by the lucky person to receive this gift.

                                                                                 Want to see the front better?  Here you go.  I used the new Curly Punch and the Scalloped Circle punch too!

Get Ready

  Halloween is just around the corner!

I love this cute little stamp set, there are so many different looks from it.

The card stock for this one are Pumpkin Pie, Black and Whisper White.

The window is punched out of the front of the card using the Key Tag Punch.  Stamp Set is "Eat, Drink, & Be Scary".

Told you so.

  Didn't I tell you there was another super easy one to make with the same materials?

Stamp Set:  Eat, Drink, & Be Scary

Card Stock: Pumpkin Pie, Basic Black, Whisper White,

Inks: Classic Pumpkin Pie and Basic Black

Embellishments:  Pumpkin Pie Grosgrain Ribbon

Eat, Drink , & Be Scary

 Tee Hee!  I think this one might even be cuter than yesterday's card.

This time the card is the Lovely Lilac and the hat is the Pumpkin Pie.

The Black grosgrain ribbon, is simply a piece tied and trimmed and added with a mini glue dot.  OK, this one might even be faster to make a stack of than yesterday's.

But wait..... I have one more so easy Halloween card to show you tomorrow.

Happy Halloween Stamping!

Are you ready?

 Look what just crawled out from under the witch's hat - EEEEK!

Super quick card, base is Pumpkin Pie, layers are Basic Black and Whisper White.  A bit of Black grosgrain ribbon and a Basic Black and a Lovely Lilac pad are all that are needed - you could make a stack of these for all of your favorite goblins in no time, BUT WAIT..... I have another super easy one to show you tomorrow.

So, you all come back soon, you hear?
