Candy Corn Halloween Treat - Stampin UP! Baker's Box

 

Halloween-treat-bakers-box-stampin-up-yum-pattystamps

I have had this cute Baker's Box framelit die for a few months, and finally took it out of the package (I'm sure that's happened to you!)... How cute is this!? It's the perfect size for a Halloween Treat or any party favor size treat box!

You'll find this great Baker's Box framelit die on pg 171 of the Annual Stampin' Up! Catalog (#138279).  Die cut it with your Big Shot in any paper or cardstock color or pattern for any occasion!  And add a cute little window to your box with one of the 3 shapes included in the framelit set, and then add a piece of window sheet inside the opening!

I found it to be about the easiest box to put together out of all the Big Shot dies Stampin' Up! offers!  Really helps to use the new Tear & Tape, found on pg 156, #138995. It's great for holding boxes and 3-d gift packaging together!

Light bulb moment pattystamps

I just have to share this fun light bulb moment with you!!  I wanted to get some of the candy corn out of my treat box, and didn't want to untie the whole thing... hello.. did you know that you can just pop out the spout like a little milk carton!  wowza!!

Halloween-treat-bakers-box-stampin-up-pour-spout-pattystamps

Want to see it in action!?  Watch my Baker's Box Video here!

And another cool tip for you ... trim the new Spider Web doily to any size you wish if it's too big for your crafting project!!  Check out what I did to layer a smaller doily behind the YUM tag!

Above: this is what the spider web doily looks like after you trim it down!  Watch my blog later in the week to find out what I did with the "outside" of the doily!!  Oh and talk about recycling... the tag is just the die cut piece from the front of the box!! Uh Huh!  how cool is that!?  :)

Halloween-stampin-up-boo-to-you-framelit-pumpkin-pattystamps

Above: the adorable little pumpkin image is stamped with a new stamp from the 2015 Holiday catalog, called Howl-o-ween Treat, and then die cut with the coordinating bundle framelit set called Boo to You!  sweet!

Do you remember the hugely popular slit punch from several years ago!? I know it's been on eBay for LOTS of $$.. well, now you can have a slit punch AND two amazing corner punches all in our new Curvy Corner Trio Punch, available 9/1/15!

Vintage Leaves Fall Card Set - Stampin' Up!

 You will love how easy it is to color and create these beautiful Vintage Leaves note cards!!

Vintage-leaves-stampin-up-4-cards-fall-pattystamps

 
Even though the weather here in the San Francisco Bay Area doesn't know it.. Fall weather IS on the way... the weather here can't make up its mind!! One day it's 100 and the next it's 70..  and we still don't have rain.. but I know that fall weather is coming so I wanted to get ready with some pretty Vintage Leaves fall cards to share with you!

Vintage-leaves-stampin-up--card-fall--blessing-pattystamps

These pretty vintage leaves are really easy to stamp and color with Stampin' Sponges and Stampin' Up! ink pads.. you can see my tutorial below in this post!  Did you see the Vintage Leaves set in the annual catalog on pg 88?  Item #138802. If you don't already have the framelit dies, don't miss the "Bundle and Save" 15% discount on the Vintage Leaves Bundle!

Vintage-leaves-stampin-up--card-fall--happy-hello-pattystamps

The 2 cards above feature the Brick Wall Embossing folder background, with Vintage Leaves images stamped over the embossed paper.  The Brick Wall embossing folder is found on page 174 in the annual Stampin' Up! catalog (#138288) and it's 6"x6" in size, which allows you to emboss a card front in either direction, or, emboss something larger than a card!  For these note cards, I used the 3-1/2"x5" Crumb Cake Note Cards & Envelopes on pg 149 in the annual catalog (#133766) and only embossed the front with the embossing folder in my Big Shot.

Brick-wall-embossing-folder-stampin-up-card-pattystamps

 

The 2 cards below feature a NEW 2015 Holiday catalog embossing folder called Woodland.  You'll find it on pg 39 of the Holiday catalog.. AND you'll find me using it a lot this fall.. I LOVE it!! The possibilities are endless with this folder!

Woodland-embossing-folder-stampin-up-trees-card-pattystamps

Vintage-leaves-stampin-up--card-fall-grateful-2-pattystamps

Did you see the pretty corrugated paper accent on each card?  I love this new package of Stampin' Up! Corrugated paper - you get 2 sheets of white corrugated paper and 2 sheets of Kraft corrugated paper.. 4 total 12x12 sheets for only $7!! #138317 on pg 148 of the annual catalog.

Don't like to "fussy cut"?  No worries.. all the leaves are die cut with the coordinating Leaflets framelit set!! yay!

Vintage-leaves-stampin-up--card-fall-grateful-pattystamps

OOh, and I LOVE this grateful die cut!!  It is a part of the "Seasonal Frame Thinlits Die" set on pg 40 of the Holiday catalog.. another item really easy to miss!  I applied it with the new Fine-Tip Glue pen.. another gem not to miss in the Holiday catalog!

Vintage-leaves-stampin-up--card-fall--celebrate-pattystamps

Coloring and cutting these leaves is SOOO easy! I stamped a sheet of each size leaf onto Very Vanilla cardstock, then simply used a Stampin' Sponge to sponge random colors over each one!  I die cut them with the matching Leaflets framelits! Wow! Quick and easy but a lot of Wow!

<< This is the Bohemian Borders Stamp set from Stampin' Up! (found on pg 96 of the current catalog).

Hmm... I can hear you saying.. but it's not a flower set, Patty!  :)

Yep, you are right.. it's not a flower set.. this set was a fun challenge for me to use but I love what I came up with... check out the photo below my video .. I have been taking photos in stores for about a month to use as inspiration for this stamp set, especially after I realized there are  Bohemian patterns EVERYWHERE in the stores right now!!!

 WATCH MY VIDEO TUTORIAL BELOW!

If you are unable to view the video in an email feed, click here to see it on YouTube

 

Bohemian-borders-design-inspiration-3-pattystamps

As explained in the video above, I took photos in the store and used them as inspiration for my stamped projects!

Can you see how I used the idea/inspiration below to create the card?

Bohemian-borders-design-inspiration-pattystamps-stampin-up-2

This is one of the handstamped cards I showed you in my video above - I love the combination of the Bohemian Borders and the Flower Shop pansy flowers!!

Gift Card Holder for Eric's Birthday

 

PATTYSTAMPS-WEEKLY-DEALS-BANNER

 

My Sweet Hubby recently had a birthday, and one of the gifts I gave him was some gift cards to one of our favorite restaurants.. Fuddruckers!  AND, since I am a Stampin' UP! Demonstrator, of course I couldn't just give him gift cards in an envelope or a card, right?  So I made this!  It's just a Sketched Dots bag (#138316, pg 151) from Stampin' UP!, folded in 1/2 and wrapped with some designer paper and ribbon!!

 

Gift-card-holder-birthday-pattystamps-stampin-up

I used a piece of birthday cake paper from the Cherry On Top paper stack (#138443, pg 144) and accented it with Night of Navy Seam Binding Ribbon (#134571, pg 159) and stamping and candy dots also in Night of Navy.  You will find ALL of the products you need to create this project at the bottom of this post.

Gift-card-holder-tin-of-cards-birthday-pattystamps-stampin-up

It's so easy.. just fold a Sketched Dotted bag in 1/2, but not exactly in 1/2.. leave it a little uneven so you have 2 fun pockets to fill!

Gift-card-holder-tin-of-cards-birthday-pattystamps-stampin-up-sketched-dots

I love the pretty font on the happy birthday greeting, I stamped it using my "Tin of Cards" stamp set (#138946, pg 110).

So, what do you think.. super easy way to create a fun gift card holder, right!?

Tips for the Banner Triple Punch from Stampin' Up!

 

One of the swap cards I took to the 2015 Stampin' UP! Convention with me was a card with a cute banner and wooden element word on it.. you may remember this card:

Watercolor Wash Background Video Tutorial

 

Birthday-blossoms-watercolor-wash-background-stampin-up-card-pattystamps-flowers Thank you for your kind comments about my Watercolor Wash background swap card!  I posted the card HERE during the Stampin' UP! Convention, and swapped it with my fellow Control Freak friends!! Their cards were AMAZING! I'll be featuring them in an upcoming blog post!

WATCH THE VIDEO below to see how to create this beautiful background using water with your background stamp!

  

If you are reading this in an email, click the image above, or click here to watch it on my blog, or click here to watch it on my YouTube channel.

Birthday-blossoms-watercolor-wash-background-stampin-up-cards-pattystamps

As I mentioned in the video, you don't have to use water on this Watercolor Wash background stamp.. in fact, it turns out beautiful without water, but I wanted to try it with a spritz of water and loved how it came out!

I love it when you can use a stamp in more than one way!

For more details about this card, see THIS BLOG POST.

The cute little cards feature the Pretty Petals paper stack.. don't you love these patterns?

Find the paper stack on pg 144 in the Annual Stampin' Up! catalog (#138442) or HERE in my online store.
