Label Me Pretty for Secretary’s Day

April 30, 2017 ~ Jeanie Stark ~ 15 Comments

Last week was Secretary’s Day. I teach at a small private school and our secretaries wear many hats. They are pretty amazing and go above and beyond the call of duty! I made these little gifts for them.

I am a sticky note addict and would be lost without my list of things to do and remember! I found these sticky notes at the Dollar Store and love how they match perfectly with one of the new In Colors, Lemon Lime Twist.

I shared how I made the sticky note holder in a previous post. You can click HERE for the measurements and directions. I used the new Fresh Florals Designer Series Paper Stack which features the 2017-2019 In Colors. I love the patterns in this set (they are from the Floral Boutique Designer Series Paper)!

Do you notice anything else new?

I used the new Pretty Label Punch and Label Me Pretty Stamp Set on the front of the holder. These will be available as a bundle when the new catalog debuts on June 1st.

I think everyone could use a sticky note holder at home or the office. I need to put one by the phone so my husband can write down who called me when he takes the message. (He always forgets to tell me!) Make one for yourself and one to share. Here’s another look at today’s project and the supplies I used to create it.

Stamp Sets: Label Me Pretty, Flourishing Phrases Ink: Peekaboo Peach, Lemon Lime Twist, Tempting Turquoise Papers: Pear Pizzazz, Peekaboo Peach, Tempting Turquoise, Whisper White, Fresh Florals Designer Series Paper Stack Tools & Accessories: Pretty Label Punch, Simply Scored Scoring Tool, Trimmer, Stampin’ Dimensionals, sticky note pad, golf pencil

A Parade of Cool Treats

April 27, 2017 ~ Jeanie Stark ~ 5 Comments

Yesterday I shared a gift card holder using the Cool Treats Bundle. You can see that post HERE if you missed it. I promised to share some swap cards I received at the Stampin’ Up! OnStage event I attended in Richmond. Enjoy these really “cool” cards.

Here’s a close up so you can see she even added Wink of Stella to the ice cream treats.

I love how this card opens. You can see the inside sentiment from the front of the card.

It is such a “treat” to see all the “cool” ways others use this set. What do you think? FYI…The Cool Treats stamp set and Frozen Treats Framelits will be in the new annual catalog; however, they will no longer be offered as a bundle. If you want to save an extra 10% you need to buy the bundle now before it’s too late!

Cool Treats

Stampin Up Cool Treats Gift Card Holder idea - Jeanie Stark StampinUp

Today’s gift card holder is made using the Gift Card Envelope & Trims Thinlits and the Cool Treats Bundle. I find most teenagers hard to buy for. They usually just want/need money. I prefer to give a gift certificate or gift card and enjoy making fun cards to go with them. After a ballgame the kids like to go to the local Friendly’s for a bite to eat and/or ice cream. I chose the colors for my card from the gift card and Tasty Treats Specialty Designer Series Paper.

Stampin Up Cool Treats Gift Card Holder idea - Jeanie Stark StampinUp

People often ask me how I choose my color combinations. I get inspiration everywhere…clothes, bedding, home decor, catalogs, and even gift cards. When I looked at this gift card, Watermelon Wonder and Peekaboo Peach popped out at me. I pulled out cardstock in those 2 colors to start and made my gift card holder with a piece of 6 x 6 Peekaboo Peach.

Then I needed a belly band so I flipped through my designer series paper swatches (which I purchase from my upline, Susan Itell at simplestampin.com). I keep them in a basket in my craft area and refer to them all the time!!

I thought the sprinkles pattern from the Tasty Treats Designer Series Paper would be perfect for this card. The belly band measures 1 1/4 x 9. I wrapped it loosely around the gift card holder and secured it with Fast Fuse adhesive. (You want to make sure you have room for the gift card and can move it easily on and off.)

Next, I chose colors from the DSP to cut my ice cream scoops using the Frozen Treats Framelits. I cut the dish from another piece of DSP and popped it all up with Stampin’ Dimensionals on a Whisper White circle I cut from the Layering Circles Framelits.

My projects seem to evolve as I work. I decided to emboss the inside of the card holder using the Confetti Embossing Folder to tie in the sentiment I wanted to use and the sprinkles on the DSP. My Whisper White measures 2 1/2 x 3 3/4. I layered it on a piece of 2 5/8 x 3 7/8 Watermelon Wonder and adhered it to the inside of the card.

I hope today’s project inspires you to look for inspiration all around you. I often sit down with an idea of what I want to make and half the time the project I end up with isn’t at all what I originally planned. Don’t be afraid to use what you have and let your project evolve as you go. I’m usually happy with the end result and the recipient doesn’t know I didn’t make what I originally planned.

Stamp Set: Cool Treats Ink: Watermelon Wonder, Early Espresso, White Craft Paper: Peekaboo Peach, Watermelon Wonder, Pool Party, Early Espresso, Whisper White, Tasty Treats Specialty Designer Series Paper Tools & Accessories: Gift Card Envelope & Trims Thinlits (retiring), Frozen Treats Framelits, Layering Circles Framelits, Confetti Embossing Folder (retiring), Stampin’ Dimensionals

Also, the Cool Treats stamp set and Frozen Treats Framelits will be in the new annual catalog; however, they will no longer be offered as a bundle. So… if you want to save an extra 10% you need to buy the bundle now before it’s too late!
