Oh Joy! It’s Watercolor Christmas!

Today’s card is a quick and simple Christmas card featuring the Watercolor Christmas stamp set!

I absolutely love the fonts in this stamp set! You may have missed this stamp set on page 34 of the Holiday Catalog, because it’s showcased with the Watercolor Christmas Project Kit. However, you can buy this stamp set separate from the kit – yippee! It’s one of my favorites from the Holiday Catalog.

This card went together in a matter of minutes, thanks to some of the coordinating products in the  Quilted Christmas Suite! I used the Quilted Christmas Designer Series Paper and the Quilted Christmas 1/4″ Ribbon along with the coordinating colors of Real Red and Garden Green. Easy peasy!

Thank you so much for stopping by today! I hope you have a wonderful & blessed day!

  • Crumb Cake card base – 4-1/4″ x 11″, scored and folded at 5-1/2″ (or folded in half)

P.S. I Love You Mini Card

Today’s card is a mini card featuring the Seasons of Whimsy stamp set!

This is the host set from the Holiday Catalog and it can be yours with a qualifying purchase or workshop totaling $150 or more! This stamp set can only be purchased with Stampin’ Rewards. It’s a great multiple holiday set! Here’s a closer look at the samples in the catalog:

For the ribbon/bow, I punched a 1/8″ hole in the left side of the sentiment piece (including the Basic Black scalloped circle) that I could thread the ribbon through. So the right side of the ribbon goes under the circle pieces and comes up through the hole to meet the left side of the ribbon, where I tied the bow. Then I added a black rhinestone to the center of the bow for a cool effect.

I colored the heart with Real Red and a Blender Pen. Quick, easy, and sweet! I’m going to tuck this little mini card in my husband’s briefcase (smile).

Thank you for stopping by today! I hope you have a wonderful & blessed day!

Measurements:
  • Real Red cardstock base – 3″ x 6″, scored and folded at 3″ (or folded in half)

Mini Coffee Cup & Gift Card Holder

Today’s project is mini coffee cup & gift card holder for Halloween!

I followed Dawn Griffith’s tutorial and had so much fun putting it together! This project features the Spooky Cat stamp set and Spooky Night Designer Series Paper. It’s designed to hold a gift card in the back “Happy Halloween” belly band – how awesome is that! Talk about a special treat for someone!

I ordered these mini coffee cups from Webstaurantstore.com. The cups and the lids are sold separately and in different quantities – cups are sold in quantities of 50 and the lids are sold in quantities of 100! Here are links to each: Mini Coffee Cups, Mini Coffee Cup Lids. They’re pretty inexpensive, so why not?

I’ve included the measurements below for you, which are largely the same as Dawn Griffith’s, but I did change the circle punches I used for the coffee cup lid. I wanted to hide the hole in the lid – a 2″ circle covers it and I just adhered it using Multipurpose Liquid Glue. Then I continued to nest smaller circles on top (see supplies list below).

For the mini coffee cup wrapper, I found a cut file (SVG) from Randi’s Crafty Creations to use with my Silhouette. There are other pieces/parts included in that cut file, but you should be able to ungroup everything and remove the parts you don’t need and just cut the wrapper. Otherwise, you can just take apart one of the coffee cups to create a template to use!

QUICK TIP: To line up the 2″ circle punch where you want it, punch a 2″ circle out of scrap paper and adhere it where you want to punch the 2″ circle on your project. Then line up your punch over that scrap piece of paper for a perfect punch-out!

I hope you’ll try making some these – they’re  so fun! Have a wonderful & blessed weekend!

Measurements:
  • Basic Black cup holder base – 2-1/2″ x 11″
    • Scored along the long side at 4-1/2″, 7″, 7-3/4″ and 10-1/4″
  • Pumpkin Pie pieces
    • 3/4″ x 6-1/2″ (belly band)
    • 2-3/8″ x 3-5/8″
    • 2-3/8″ x 5/8″
  • Spooky Night DSP pieces

Merry Café Card with Gift Card Pocket

If you are looking for last night’s Facebook Live video, you can find it HERE!

Today’s project is a quick and easy card with a gift card pocket featuring the Merry Café stamp set!

This project is very similar to THIS project that I shared previously, just with slightly different measurements. This card was also largely inspired by the Merry Café sample in the Holiday Catalog:

Our catalogs are one of my favorite places to go for inspiration! Doesn’t this card make you want to go out and buy a pumpkin spice latte? It’s a perfect way to give someone a Starbucks card to show your appreciation for them. Here’s what the inside looks like:

If you have any questions about this card, let me know! I’ll include all the measurements below so you can recreate it. I didn’t create another video because the basics of this card are so similar to my previous card like this (which already has a video) – the dimensions are just slightly different.

Thank you so much for stopping by today! I hope you have a wonderful and blessed day!

Measurements:
  • Early Espresso card base – 4-1/4″ x 11″, scored along the long side at 5-1/2″ and 9″
  • Cajun Craze layers:
    • 3-1/4″ x 4″
    • 5-1/4″ x 4″
    • 3″ x 1″ (strip for behind coffee cup)
  • Very Vanilla layer (inside) – 5″ x 3-3/4″
  • Painted Autumn DSP layers:
    • 3″ x 3-3/4″
    • 1-3/4″ x 3-3/4″
    • 2″ x 1-1/2″ (for layer behind sentiment – glue sentiment to DSP and then fussy cut sides)

Tricked Out Treats – InKing Royalty Blog Hop

Welcome to InKing Royalty’s September Blog Hop!  Today’s Tricked Out Treats Blog Hop is filled with spooky, fun projects for Halloween.  We are excited to share our creations with you today and hope these projects inspire you.  After you read my post, I hope you’ll hop over to the next person on the list at the base of this post.

My project for today’s blog hop is this super fun Ferrero Rocher tote all dressed up for Halloween!

Here’s a different angle:

There’s a little handle created with the 1″ circle punch and it holds 2 Ferrero Rochers – how cute it that?! I found a similar project while browsing Pinterest from a fellow German demonstrator (Bastelbine is the name of the blog, but it seems to be no longer active) and I decided to convert the measurements and give it a try!

Don’t the rhinestones make the o’s look like eyes? Not sure if that was the intention of that sentiment, but, if not, it’s a happy accident!

Here’s my Facebook Live video tutorial:

Here’s the template I shared:

MEASUREMENTS:
  • Basic Black treat holder base – 4-1/4″ x 9-3/4″
    • Scored along the 9-3/4″ side at 1-3/8″, 2-3/4″, 4-7/8″, 7″ and 8-3/8″
    • Scored along the 4-1/4″ side at 1-3/8″ and 2-7/8″ and also scored at 7/8″ and 3-3/8″, but only down to the 2-3/4″ horizontal score line on both the top and the bottom
  • Spooky Night DSP (2 pieces) – 2″ x 2-5/8″
    • Make tick marks along the 2″ side at 1-1/4″ (both sides)
    • Make a tick mark along the 2-5/8″ at 1-5/16″ on the side closest to the 1-1/4″ tick mark
    • Cut diagonally from the 1-5/16″ mark to the 1-1/4″ mark (see video for more details)

Thank you for hopping along with us! I hope you’ll hop along to the next stop on the blog hop, Lisa Pretto at Ink Big Academy Stamps. There’s lots of inspiration to be found in this group – and you don’t want to miss it!
