These little bauble ornaments are the rage now! It’s so fun to build a little scene in this 2″ circle! I found the ornaments that split in half at Michael’s. I also found snow flakes to put in there so you can shake the ornament to get the snow flying!
I colored some snow on the tree using the white gel pen.
This is how I created the scene before it was glued together with Tombow glue. After you stamp the image on the Very Vanilla card stock, trim along the ground line. Then adhere to the Pool Party circle, lining up image to the underneath one. I cut out the scalloped circle with my ecutter!
This style of gussted bag and insert was shown to us at Convention this year. I turned it into a Christmas themed one! Picture some yummy Christmas treats or a gift in this little bag!
DSP is 3 3/4″ x 10″
Scored at 1″, 6″ and 8 1/2″
Ink edges of flower in Early Espresso ink
(Make sure if there are words on it you score in the right direction!)
I will be sharing projects from the Holiday Extravaganza that took place on Saturday! Here’s a photo of the holiday bags the girls received. Inside were the projects, plus lots of Stampin’ Up products! I found the bags at Oriental Trading Company.
Here’s one of the projects, a clipboard to showcase a Christmas photo (here’s my two grandbabies!) I found the clipboards online from Pick a Plum and Joann’s.
At Founder’s Circle, I was invited to attend Susan Adams and Janet Baker’s class during one of our “down days”. Here is one of the projects we made, isn’t it adorable? I LOVE the witch hat made with the doiley!!!
Here’s a photo of the underside of the witch hat. There is a glue dot at the tip of the hat to keep them together.
Here is a photo from Convention of the demonstrators who earned Founder’s Circle. I was BLESSED to be among them! We got pampered this past weekend in St. George, UT. The BEST part of this weekend was seeing all the friends I have met over the years!
One special friend is Becky Roberts! 🙂 I always look forward to our time together. Becky is a ROCK STAR at Stampin’ Up and it’s so fun to get to spend quality time with her at this event.
We do a little gift exchange at Founder’s Circle. Because her birthday is around the corner (and there’s NO WAY I could ship this to her without it getting ruined!) I decided to give her birthday gift a little early. Both she and I share a LOVE for coffee, so I couldn’t resist putting together a coffee themed gift.
Here is the gift basket with everything in it.
This was the card I made her. Stampin’ Up doesn’t have a coffee cup stamp like this anymore, but that didn’t stop me! You just have to think outside of the box! The new corrugated paper works great for coffee huggers on cards!
The next item was a MINIATURE shopping cart! If you know Becky and follow her blog, you know she has a fettish for shopping carts! LOL Inside I made a paper bag pattern (just found one on the internet and shrunk it down to the size I wanted.) Inside is a wrapped package of Altoids, which you need after drinking coffee so you don’t have coffee breath. LOLThe next item was a TEENY TINY coffee cup card. No pattern for this, I just kind of cut it as I went along. It fits inside the Curvy Keepsake Die, which I cut out of a windowsheet. This cup card is about 1 1/2″ tall if I remember right! I put real coffee beans on the bottom to go with the theme.On the inside is a charm that looks like a Starbucks logo that will fit on her Pandora bracelet.
The next item was a couple of sugar cookies I made. I found a Starbucks logo cookie cutter on Etsy HERE. The trick to making these cookies is to use a shortbread type recipe so the dough won’t spread out when you bake it. I tried a couple recipes and my favorite one was found HERE.The next item was a coffee cup with her name on the logo. I bought these from Groupdealz. I have been watching for these to come back on their site because I want to order more, but no such luck. 🙁 I think you could make this with an ecutter and vinyl if you wanted to. Inside the coffee cup was dark chocolate chocolate with an espresso bean inside. I found the candy at Trader Joe’s. Hope you enjoyed these!

This past weekend, I held my “weSTAMP Regional” event. This event is for team members. We always have such a wonderful time! I will be sharing projects and displays from that event.
Our first presenter was the talented and creative CJ Boyce! She WOWed us with Fall and Halloween projects. CJ even made the table runner!
This was a party favor that everyone received. My downline Jackie Rossell (and Sue Parker helped, too!) got the assembly line going. I found the pattern on Splitcoast Stampers HERE.
Would you like to be included in our weSTAMP Regionals? This event is EXCLUSIVE for team members! Even if you are out of state, you can participate! Contact me and let’s chat about all the fun in store for you if you join my team!
Here are some Convention gifts I made for friends! I love theme gifts, and these bags are filled with caramel apple treats!
The little gift bag tags are actually caramel apple suckers (you can find them anywhere at Halloween time, but Cracker Barrel always sells them.) I think they are made by Charms. I adhered a caramel apple made from card stock ontop of the sucker, then slipped it in a clear envelope to make the apple wrapper.
In back of the sucker treat, I made some homemade caramels (they don’t stick to your teeth either!)
The pattern for the apple is hand drawn. Once you make the pattern you can enlarge or shrink it down! Here it is!
I also included in the gift bag was caramel corn. I think this is the recipe that I make the most in our house! You can find the recipe HERE.
This candy is Werthers Caramel Apple. Again, I found these at Cracker Barrel.
This little Berry Basket (made from Stampin’ Up die) has lots of goodies in it! I found the cute little APPLE Kerr jar candles at Hobby Lobby. I filled the basket with more homemade caramels. The tag has a tiny little caramel apple (shrunk down from the pattern above). I used the stamp set “You’re So Sweet” on the tag.
Last but not least, good ol’ Cracker Barrel had Caramel Apple Sugar Babies!
Here’s another one of my Convention swaps – a fun little nugget holder! Notice the tongue on the frog – simple to make! it’s a 1/8″ strip of Watermelon Wonder cardstock rolled up! I made a little slit in his mouth and stuck the tongue through it.
The nugget holder is a 2″ x 8 1/2″ strip, scored at 3 1/2″ & 5″.
The extra spots are made using the Cupcake Builder and Owl Builder Punches
Here’s a triple gift card holder that we made at my weSTAMP Team Meeting last month. You’ve just got to get that brick embossing folder! There are so many ways to use that! It is larger than our other embossing folders, which is so nice because you can make the bricks to vertical OR horizontal!
Dimensions of card holder is 9 1/2″ x 4 1/4″
Score lines are at 3″, 3 1/4″, 6 1/4″ and 6 1/2″. Inside pockets are 3″ x 2 1/4″ and have a 1 1/4″ circle punched at the top.Don’t forget WEEKLY DEALS, get them before they run out at that price!
I think this is the most FUN MOTHER’S DAY I’ve ever experienced!!! It was so great to have our family all together again. Usually our son is gone because he was in the Air Force.
I whipped up some cards for my daughter and daughter in law because they are both experiencing their FIRST MOTHER’S DAY! It’s so much fun having grandbabies in the family!!!!
These cards were made with the leftover pieces that were in this “Hello Life” kit. Here is the kit shown below.
