Customer Thank You Treats!

 

Customer Appreciation Gifties!

Every so often I send treats or a coupon for a free item with your Stampin' UP! order... just a little love in the mail to show my appreciation to my wonderful customers!

 

These are the gifts I've been sending out this week for online Stampin' Up! orders.

If you have placed your order with me and not received a thank you email, and a thank you card in the mail, you may have clicked the "no contact option".  :(   If you think that might be you, please email me so we can get that corrected!

I created these sweet little gifties with the Tag a Bag Sketched Dot polkadot gift bags and the Tag a Bag accessory kit!  I love the sweet doilies, the beautiful tags and the accessories that come in the kit!

As you can see, I have provided a variety of Metallic Foil Doilies in each bag, as a thank you for placing an order with me!  I really enjoy adding these metallic doilies to lots of my projects!!  You can find them on pg 148 in the Annual catalog, and you'll find the gift bags and tags on pg 151 in the Annual catalog.
 

So, if you have not received a thank you card or an email from me, you may have clicked that "no contact" box thinking you were opting out of spam emails... and I don't blame you one bit!!  The truth is, when you click the box for no contact from your Stampin' UP! demonstrator, it means YOU ARE COMPLETELY ANONYMOUS TO ME!!  (insert very sad face here). 

When you order from me, I want to send you:

• a thank you email right away
• a handstamped thank you card within a week
• offers for free catalogs
• your very own Free Stamps with Patty form (to earn free products with me) and a Wish List!

 

If you are not getting those, please contact me so we can get that corrected! ([email protected])

 

Thank you to my faithful customers, I truly appreciate your orders!

Penguin Christmas Candy Goodie Bag

 

If you've been following me for awhile here on my PattyStamps blog, you'll know that I love penguins and that we have a fun stuffed animal penguin collection that comes out at Christmas time.  I also love to buy cute penguin ornaments, figurines, candies, etc.  You can imagine my excitement when I saw the Snow Place stamp set in the 2015 Stampin' Up! holiday catalog!!!  :) :)

Then I found these adorable penguin chocolates for only $1 a box at Big Lots!!  I just had to buy these to make cute little gifts!!

I slipped the candy into a Tag a Bag Sketched Dot treat bag from Stampin' UP!  The little dots on the glassine bags are so cute!!  ordering info is at the bottom of this blog post.

The Snow Place stamp set pairs perfectly with the Snow Friends framelits!

Save 15% on the bundle!

How to make the Penguin Christmas Candy Bag:

• measure your Tag a Bag Sketched Dot Bag (pg 151 annual catalog #138316) and cut a piece of Whisper White cardstock to slip inside the bag (bags may vary slightly in size, but approx. 4-1/2" x 6-1/4")
• use a 4-1/4" x 5-1/2" piece of Whisper White cardstock, folded in 1/2, and stamp the penguin (Archival black ink), top hat (Archival Black ink), greeting (Real Red), snowflakes (Pool Party) and dots (Cucumber Crush) on the front 1/2 of the cardstock
• punch the bottom 2 corners with the Curvy Corner Trio Punch
• slip candy into the bag, in front of the cardstock piece
• slip the folded cardstock over the bag and staple
• tie the red striped ribbon around the top, covering the staples
• add rhinestones to the centers of the snowflakes

Have fun making these for your friends for Christmas!

How To Video: Make a Baker's Twine Holder

 

I have a How To Video Tutorial for you today!

Check it out to see how quick and easy it is to make this very functional yet VERY cute In Color Thick Baker's Twine holder with the Stampin' Up! Tag a Bag Boxes!!

(see video below)

(if you are reading this in an email, please go to my blog to see the video)

 

This great Tag a Bag Box Baker's Twine holder was a gift given to me by one of our Luv 2 Stamp Group members, Nancy Baladad.  She came up with this idea and I asked if I could share it.. so cute!  Then Cindee gave me one as well.. so I have 2 samples to share with you!

I absolutely love how the Tag a Bag Box holder keeps the In Color Baker's Twine all together, and neat.. I had a heck of a time with my previous roll of twine... did you see this post on Facebook a few months ago!?  Ack.. how frustrating!

 

So, Baker's Twine Holder to the rescue!!!

Below: Watch the video above to see a great tip on threading the twine through the hole.

Above and below:  this is the insert that you'll need to score on the Simply Scored board and fold to make an M shape, then secure it in the Tag a Bag box (with Sticky strip or Fast Fuse) to form the dividers for the 5 rolls of twine.

Stampin' Up! Supplies can be found/ordered here:

Tag a Bag Boxes #130927, on page 201, or online here.

12x12 Window Sheets #114323 on page 192 online here.

Simply Scored Board #122334 on page 214, or online here.

Thick Baker's Twine found on page 207: Baked Brown Sugar, Coastal Cabana, Crisp Cantaloupe, Pistachio Pudding, Strawberry Slush

Below: this is the amazingly beautiful Flower Frenzy embellishment that Cindee added to the box she gave me.. she is AMAZING!  Buy your Flower Frenzy big shot die in my online store here.

 Go make a Baker's Twine Holder... you will love it!

Welcome New Luv 2 Stamp Group Demonstrators

 

I love to send a welcome packet to each new demonstrator who signs up directly with me... the contents change with each batch I send out every couple weeks, but I always enjoy including something fun! 

These were in the welcome packets I sent out last week to my new recruits.

Inside each cute Sale a Bration polkadot cello bag was a package of Candy Dots and a Stampin' Up! Pen.  I decorated the tags using a custom stamp I ordered. (click for more info on Personalized stamps).  The tags are from the super cute and colorful new Tag a Bag accessory package!!  You can view all of the custom stamp designs on page 195 in the catalog.

I tied them up with Hello Honey Ribbon. The cute clips are part of the Tag a Bag accessory kit!

This fun kit comes with 20 tags, 10 colored clips, dimensionals, twine and more! 

 

I love these pretty colors!!

Retiring Stampin' Up! Product Blog Hop

 

Welcome!

Welcome to our blog hop featuring Retiring Stampin' Up! products.

Wendy asked me to be a part of this blog hop highlighting retiring products with creations by a few of the Luv 2 Stamp Group members, and I am excited to be a part of this hop!

click to view all the retiring stamps and accessories

Below: my first project features the Tag a Bag tag kit and Glimmer Brads, both on the retiring accessories list.  These tags are great on cards, gifts, as mini banners, or you can use them as bookmarks too!

Check out my Tag a Bag Tag storage solution here!

Below:  the Tag a Bag Bags are cute when decorated with these tags as well!  The image stamped on the tag is from the Tag It stamp set, also retiring this year.  The bag is embellished with accessories from the Tag a Bag Tag kit and also some retiring Coastal Cabana ruffled ribbon.

Below:  the retiring products on this cute note card include:  Gingham Garden Washi Tape, and the small Heart Punch, on a Whisper White Note Cards.  Seriously.. how can this little heart punch retire!?  Eeek!

Below:  The retiring Lattice Big Shot die is featured on this card.  To make this card, die cut the opening in the front of your folded Whisper White card first, using the Window Frame Collection framelits, then die cut Whisper White cardstock with the Lattice Die and place that piece of lattice in the opening.  Place any color carstock behind the opening. Isn't this pretty!?  I used Crisp Cantaloupe cardstock behind the opening and finished off the card with Black Chevron Ribbon and a stamped tag punched out with the Extra-Large Oval punch, layered on a Deco Labels Collection die cut.

Below:  I know I've shared this card before but these leaves are SO pretty and I can't believe this set is retiring, so I wanted to repost this card.  I die cut the card with the Circle Card Thinlits, and stamped it with the Gently Falling stamp set.

As you know the Retiring Stamp set list and Retiring Accessory list went live at 12:00am Monday morning, and several items have already sold out because all retiring products are available “While Supplies Last”. Some of the products we have featured on our Retired List Blog hop may already be sold out, and we apologize for any frustration this may cause. We hope you enjoy the ideas and are able to order the retiring products on YOUR Wish List!

Thank you for joining me from Nicole's blog!

Season of Style Christmas projects from our Skype meeting

WEEKLY DEALS Nov. 19 to Nov. 25 << click to view/purchase now!

Annual Stampin Up Holiday Sale!

-------------------

Luv 2 Stamp Group Skype Meeting is TODAY!

This is just WAY too exiting... today I have about 25 of my Luv 2 Stamp Group demonstrators participating in a SKYPE online meeting!!  I will be initiating a group call twice today, and each time about a dozen of our demonstrators will be connecting with each other across the USA, through the miles, over the river and through the woods.. :)  via Skype!!

We are having a short business meeting where I will be sharing tips and info about the upcoming Occasions catalog and Sale a Bration, and then we are making 2 projects together!  I sent each person the supplies to make the 2 projects below!

  I cut the triangle out of the Perfect Pennants Big Shot die, then used strips of Season of Style Washi Tape and Glimmer paper to cover the triangle.  Decorate it with Rhinestones for some BLING!

The tree trunk is the Ticket Punch!

Background is embossed with the Stylish Stripes embossing folder.

"Long Distance" project packets are always a "challenge" because we cannot send any stamped images, so, I was as creative as I could be and used Washi Tape, embossing folders, punches, ribbon, rhinestones, Glimmer paper and our great Tag a Bag Boxes for our project supplies!

Project #2:

TIP:  before assembling the box, put the washi tape around both sides of the box (while it's still flat)

TIP: put the strip of Designer paper on the clear lid while the lid is still flat.

I decorated a Whisper White "Chalk Talk" tag with punched out pieces of Season of Style designer paper using the new Ornament punch in the Holiday Catalog, then finished it off with the beautiful Cherry Cobbler ribbon!

 

Thank you to each of the Luv 2 Stamp Group members who is joining me today via Skype to spend some time together, and to create fun Christmas projects!

Thank you for your kind comments on my

<<<< GRATITUDE bag from the

Control Freak Blog Tour post!

I had so much fun designing bag fronts in My Digital Studio (from Stampin' Up!), then printing them in my HP Color Laser printer onto the Tag a Bag chevron bags!

Purchase your pack of Tag a Bag Chevron Bags online.

I kind of had a field day creating lots of different bags...

Once I started... I just couldn't stop!

I measured the bag, and created a custom size project in MDS (My Digital Studio) of that size.

Then I designed my bag fronts, saved them as a .jpg and it was easiest for me to import those .jpg images into Word and print from there on my HP Color Laser printer.

Aren't they even cuter when you fill them and decorate them with Stampin' Up! Embellishments?

I created these for Stampin' Up! Customers, Luv 2 Stamp Group downline members, friends and family for lots of different occasions!

 

The fun "For You" tag and labels are from the new Pop & Place Holiday Gift Tags assortment!

I decorated this birthday bag with Cherry Cobbler Chevron Ribbon, Burlap ribbon, a tag from the Chalk Talk framelits, a Naturals button, and some Early Espresso Bakers Twine.

I am so very grateful for sooooooooooo many things, and one of them is all of my amazing Stampin' Up! Customers!  I am sharing 2 projects with you today that I've made for my Stampin' Up! customers.

I'm super excited about this first project.. I just made these this week.  I designed images in My Digital Studio and then printed them on my HP Color Laser Printer onto our Tag a Bag chevron bags!!!

I added Washi Tape, a button and a burlap bow to decorate the bag.

These will be filled with little thank you goodies for my customers this fall.

Watch my blog on Monday, Oct. 21 for more info and more samples of printing on the bags!

Patty's 2nd Gratitude project:

This is one of the Customer Thank You cards I made for my dear customers this month:

I used a background that I created and printed from My Digital Studio, then stamped the Magificent Maple leaf in 3 colors, stamped A Million & One Thanks in Early Espresso ink, and then tied the orange ribbon around the card. 

For instructions on making these file folder cards with the Envelope Punch Board, click to view my video for  File Folder Cards with Envelope Punch Board.
