Fruit Basket Bundle for Facebook Live

Hello everyone! I wanted to share with you the projects that I made today on Facebook Live, featuring the Fruit Basket Bundle that is retiring at the end of the month. I absolutely love this set and  found some fun little treats that worked perfectly with it. There is a PDF at the end of this post with the supplies and measurements. 

You can see the video by CLICKING HERE
First up, I shared this little box that holds some Chewy Lemonheads. I found these at Dollar Tree and they were sold in a pack of 5. They were a perfect match with this suite of products. 
The punches in this set don’t include a cherry punch, so I created one using the Bouquet Bunch Framelits Dies. I love looking for fun, different ways to use die sets. 
I also made an alternate box using a citrus theme, which also works well for these treats. We also determined in my Facebook Live that there are other treats that would fit in the box, with a few modifications to the measurements, like Tic Tac Gum. 
The second project I shared is this cute gift card holder pairing up the Fruit Basket stamp set and Tutti Frutti DSP with the (also retiring) Mini Treat Bag Thinlits Dies. 
I added a little pop of texture to the gift bag using the Softly Falling Embossing Folder. 
The little pull-out card holds a gift card perfectly and you can even write a little message on the card behind the gift card. 
The last project I shared was this watermelon gum holder! Although I did have some of the measurements written down incorrectly on the video, they have been corrected on the PDF. Thank you for your patience with my little oops. :)
This Extra Sweet Watermelon gum was also found at Dollar Tree and there are 4 packs bundled in the package. This would also work with any flavor of gum, just change up the colors/stamps, etc. I also added a little space to write on the inside. These would be great little gifts or even a fun idea for a craft fair. 

All of the products I used to create the projects will be listed along with the measurements. 

Also, if you put in an order in my online store ($30 minimum) by Monday May 7th, 2018 at midnight, I will send you these three make and takes for free! You will receive all of the supplies to create the projects but it will NOT include any stamped images (per Stampin’ Up! policy).  

Please use Hostess Code XRX2GXF9 

That’s how I will know that you ordered and so that you get your make and takes. ($30 minimum)
If your order is over $150, please DO NOT use the Hostess Code, so that you can earn the Hostess Rewards. I will still send you the make and takes, along with an extra gift. 

Remember, orders must be placed by Monday May 7th, 2018 at midnight for these make and takes. 


Thanks so much for stopping by today! I hope you enjoyed these projects. Remember that I’ll be back on Facebook Live next Thursday May 10th at 2:30pm CST, so be sure to join me then. Until next time...

Have a HAPPY day!

Clean and Simple Tutti-Frutti Hello

 Hello there! I’m not sure where this week went. Time sure flies, doesn’t it? One of my goals for the new year was to come up with some regular weekly posts on my blog. So welcome to the first edition of Clean and Simple Thursday! As many of you know CAS cards are not my usual “thing." Don’t get me wrong, it’s not that I don’t love the style, I just struggle with knowing when to stop adding layers and embellishments to a card. I’m also challenging myself to make cards that are easy to pop in the mail, so hopefully trying to focus on CAS cards regularly will help. 

I actually created 16 of these cards for our monthly team swap at our meeting earlier this week. One craft supply I tend to collect but rarely use is washi tape. I think I might have mentioned how obsessed I am with the new Tutti-Frutti Suite of products in the new Stampin’ Up Occasions Catalog. I decided to focus on focusing on showing the new Tutti-Frutti Washi Tape a little love on this one.. I like how it adds a fun pop of colors and pattern without adding a lot of bulk. After I got all of the washi tape down, I decided to add a tiny “slice” of the Myths and Magic Glimmer paper, because…well, it’s just SO pretty! 
The Fruit Basket stamp set is photopolymer, so it is really easy to line up the images. That’s always a great thing! The sentiment is heat embossed for a little extra something-something. Finally I added a little baker’s twine bow and a couple of rhinestones. I really like the end result and I hope you do as well. 

Thanks for stopping by today! Please leave a comment and say hello if you have a chance. I’ll be back tomorrow with another project. Until then, I hope you have a happy day! :)

Tutti-Frutti Greetings

Hello there and happy Saturday to you! Well, the first week of 2018 is in the books. That sure flew by, didn’t it? Today I wanted to share with you a card that I created for a swap with a few (ok, 35) of my fellow Stampin’ Up demonstrators. These went out the last week of December and today I received my swaps back in the mail and was blown away by the amazing cards I received.

I am absolutely loving the Tutti-Frutti Suite of products in the new Stampin’ Up Occasions Catalog! I have been using them non-stop and actually am finishing up an all new Class To-Go which I will be posting here on my blog really soon.
This stamp set has the most adorable little images and then there are 4 matching punches to make cutting them out a breeze. I did fussy-cut the bowls which became pretty easy once I cut about a dozen of them. I decided to use the new Myths and Magic Glimmer Paper to make that single pear stand out and play off the “You are the Sweetest” sentiment. If you know me, you know I LOVE some sparkle and in this case, a little bit is all you need. Then I colored in the “stem” very gently with a Stampin’ Blends marker. I added a lot of dimensionals to the fruit and the little basket to make them stand out. They tied in perfectly with the Tutti-Frutti Designer Series Paper, as well. 

I added the little doily layer to being a little more texture to the card. One little tip I learned, cats LOVE to destroy those paper doilies. Because of a particularly naughty feline, I didn’t have enough doilies for my swaps. She shredded about 5 of them before I caught her! Thank goodness my awesome upline met up with me to loan me some to finish my cards. Crisis averted! 
Here is a look at all of the little bowls of pears while I was in the process of getting my cards ready for the swap. It was a lot of work but when you are doing what you love, it is so enjoyable at the same time. Although I will say that fussy cutting almost 40 of those little fruit bowls made me question my decision a few times. Haha! 
Thanks for stopping by today! I hope you have a great weekend and can get some time to do something crafty. All of the products I used to create my cards are listed below. You can shop anytime in my online store by clicking on any of the supplies below. Remember that for every $50 you spend right now, you can earn FREE product from the Sale-A-Bration Catalog.
