I bet I’m not the only one who shops and sees color in Stampin’ Up! names! (My daughter bought a lovely Crushed Curry top! LOL) I keep my color swatch book in my purse so I have it when I’m out shopping. (I also have one that I keep in my craft room.) You never know where you’ll find inspiration! Today I have a new look for the Wood Crate Framelits and a peek at some of the new Designer Series Papers.
Yesterday was my first venture out since I had surgery on my arm. My daughter drove me around to run a few errands. I felt like I hit the jackpot at the Yankee Candle store…votive candles were 1/2 price! I pulled out my swatch book and found colors to match our new In Colors! I was like a kid in a candy store. I couldn’t wait to get home and create!
I love all 4 of the new patterns in the 2019-2021 In Color 6 x 6 Designer Series Paper (though I will miss the polka dots!). I cut 2 pieces of each using the Wood Crate Framelits. The crates are so quick & easy to put together as it cuts and scores at the same time. Just add adhesive to the flaps and bottom of one and adhere the two pieces together. The new Scalloped Linen Ribbon (available June 4th) added a nice touch with a simple knot for a bow. Look at this beautiful ribbon!
These candle crates are perfect little thank you gifts for hostesses, teachers, hairdressers (or friends who spoil you with gifts and food following surgery). What a great idea for craft fairs! Here’s a close up of each of the crates with the new In Color Designer Series Paper patterns. (These same patterns will be available in 6 x 6 paper packs for each color family.)
Do you have a favorite pattern?
These were so much fun to make I just couldn’t stop! Guess What?…The new Woven Threads Designer Series Paper (available June 4th) coordinates with the new In Colors! Look at these fun mix of colors!
Here’s a close up of these fun designs…
I couldn’t help myself and I had to try a little mix and match.
Hmmm….I think I like it better with the matching candles. What about you?
So, are you convinced you need this die before it retires (or sells out)? Yesterday I shared some other ideas using the Wood Crate Framelits. If you missed that post, you can view it HERE.

OMG, these are totally gorgeous! I don’t have the crate framelets–but I think I will tweak the idea and just make a crate without the slits~maybe emboss the paper?? I ordered the new In-color DSP right away because I LOVE the new prints–best they’ve ever offered, don’t you think? And yes, I like the new in-colors, too.
Take care of your arm, and heal rapidly. Thanks you for taking the time to post [and create for us] during your convalescence. Sending you healing hugs!
Jeanie, I love how creative you are!!! The colors are perfect! I never thought about taking my swatch book with me. And you took a ribbon that I did not really like and made me love it! So cute!
How fun are these? I love making the little crates and now I want to copy your idea. I am not a candle person but darn I can give them even if I don’t burn them. I wish I had the papers and ribbons and papers now to give but I guess I just will have to wait which is ok. I love these. Once I have the stuff to make these and hoping I can get the new in-colors, I can give them to my customers. They have borrowed my crate die before but this will be a way to get them to see some of the new paper and ribbon. Jeanie, you are the best! I had to smile with Ramsey’s comment about the ribbon, I thought the same. Now, I need to readjust my shares with you which I am glad I didn’t E-mail you yet.
Hope your arm is healing well.
Those are just plain cute! Good eye to find matching candles! You are so creative! Hope you are healing well.
Thanks Susan! I do believe I am on the right road (finally) to healing and hopefully pain free!
This Is the funniest blog post I’ve read today! Those candles….I can’t believe how well they match the new in colors! My 15 year old daughter and I were talking about needing to buy bath and body works lotion when I came upon your post. Now she wants some candles and said I now have a reason to buy some paper and aren’t the stores close to each other, I don’t need to drive out of my way?!
So glad I gave you a reason to shop!!! LOL Have fun!
Morning Jeanie! I like the two matching candles. Your candle colors are perfect. Glad you feeling better and are out and about and had a good time with Ariana.
Have a blessed day. 🙂
We think alike Nancy!
OMG! I do the same with the color names whether it is shopping or just in general. I love your crate and candle idea….awesome and definitely casing. I agree with Ramsey and Chris R….was not keen on that ribbon but you sold me! Thanks for the inspiration….feel better and sending healing hugs 💜 (gorgeous grape heart)
Mary Ann, I think we are sisters from another mother!
Om my goodness these are so super cute!
Thanks Jill!
I am so in love with this idea!! What a fun idea for birthdays or Christmas gifts. Do you have the names of the Yankee candles? I don’t have the cardstock yet to compare them.
Thanks JoAnn! The Yankee candle scents I used were: Bahama Breeze, Life’s A Breeze, Fresh Cut Roses, Lemon Lavender, Strawberry Lemon ice. Have fun creating!!!
I finally got this framelit ! So glad I did and I am thrilled to see what you put in yours . I make little treats for my daughter to give her friends at work and they would love these candles . Like you I will miss those DSP polka dots ,but I just love the gingham too bad we can`t have both !!
Loved your displays !!
