Lovely Lavender Hostess Gifts

January 27, 2024January 27, 2024 ~ Jeanie Stark ~ 2 Comments

I’ve been in New York this week visiting my daughter. I used the January 2024 Lovely Lavender Paper Pumpkin kit to make a hostess gift set for her.

The tag from the kit was perfect to go with the lavender plant I picked up at Target. I also used the die cuts from the kit on the easel calendar card. Here’s a look at the intended cards/projects designed for this January 2024 Lovely Lavender Paper Pumpkin Kit.

You can Click HERE to watch Stampin’ Up!’s how-to video to help you assemble the kit as intended. This kit coordinates with the Perennial Lavender Suite in the Spring Mini Catalog. I used the Perennial Lavender Designer Series Paper and the Purple Shimmer Gems from the suite on the calendar card I made. The leaves and lavender die cuts are from the Paper Pumpkin kit.

Here are the details to create the calendar easel card.

Measurements:

Card base (Highland Heather): 4 1/4 x 11, scored @ 2 3/4 & 5 1/2
Cardstock Layer (Gorgeous Grape): Cut 2 @ 5 1/4 x 4
DSP (Perennial Lavender): Cut 2 @ 5 1/8 x 3 7/8
Cardstock Layer (Highland Heather): 2 1/2 x 3 1/4 (for calendar), 3 1/4 x 3 1/4 (for Sticky Note)
Basic White: scrap to stamp sentiment (from So Sincere) and die cut with Thoughtful Expressions Die

Directions:

Fold & burnish card base.
Adhere DSP to Gorgeous Grape cardstock. Adhere one layer inside card base.
Adhere calendar to cardstock layer. Place die cuts from Lovely Lavender Paper Pumpkin kit on cardstock layer and adhere with a few Mini Glue Dots. Adhere calendar to DSP layer covering the bottom of the die cuts. Stamp sentiment and cut with Thoughtful Expressions Die. Adhere beside die cuts with Stampin’ Dimensionals. Adhere this layer to front of card only applying adhesive on the bottom section on the card so it adheres below the score line.
Adhere sticky note pad to cardstock layer and adhere to card base. It is the stopper for the easel.
Embellish with Purple Fine Shimmer Gems.

Bee Mine Valentine Bag for Tic Tac Toe Challenge #239

January 18, 2024January 18, 2024 ~ Jeanie Stark ~ 2 Comments

Happy Thursday! Today is the first Tic Tac Toe Challenge of the new year and I am honored to be the designer this week. Here’s the challenge board I created.

I used all nine elements on my project this week.
Stampin' Up! Be My Valentine bag with Bee Mine Designer Series Paper-Jeanie Stark StampinUp
I love to make cards and 3D projects to coordinate with gifts I give. This “Bee-utiful” bag will hold the little bee hand puppet I am giving to a sweet little 2 year old who definitely “makes my heart buzz”.
Stampin' Up! Be My Valentine Bundle and Tailor Made Tags with Bee Mine Designer Series Paper gift idea-Jeanie Stark StampinUp
The sentiment and bee are from the Be My Valentine Bundle. I love it when a stamp set comes with a coordinating punch! The Bee My Valentine Stamp Set is un-bee-lievably cute and versatile! You can stamp the bees in different colors and in any direction, as the body is completely symmetrical. No matter how you use this bundle, your crafts will have their own buzz around them!

This project is simple to make and I have some tips to share with you for using the Bee Builder Punch. First, let’s take a closer look at this adorable Designer Series Paper from Stampin’ Up! called Bee Mine.

Stampin' Up! Bee Mine Designer Series Paper-visit juststampin.com for inspiration and ordering information-Jeanie Stark StampinUp — Product colors: Basic Black, Daffodil Delight, Lemon Lime Twist, Petal Pink, Pool Party, Sweet Sorbet

This paper is full of bright colors and pastel patterns to help you celebrate all of your occasions centered around love. Each page offers new possibilities. You can fussy cut the individual bees, die cut the striped and gingham paper, or use the jars of honey paper for a unique card base. Mix and match the color palette to create something special for each recipient. Every craft is simply meant to bee! You can easily use the patterned paper past Valentine’s Day as each sheet is double-sided and there are some beautiful flower designs to welcome spring.

Here are the details to create the gift bag. *Thanks to Sam Donald (aka Pootles) who provided the measurements for the bag.

Start with a piece of 12 x 12 DSP. *Make sure the pattern is facing the right direction.
Score on the first side at 2″, 5 3/4″, 7 3/4″, 11 1/2″
Turn and score on the other side at 2″. *The 2″ score line will be the bottom of your bag.
Fold on score lines. Then cut the score lines along the bottom of the bag just up to the 2″ score line.
Remove the 1/2″ rectangle at the bottom and miter the end.
Add Tear & Tape along the 1/2″ end and fold over to adhere.
Fold in the side flaps, fold down the top flap and add Tear & Tape along the bottom flap. Fold bottom flap up to adhere.
Use the Tailor Made Tags Dies to cut two tags. Cut the larger tag using DSP and another in Basic White.
Stamp sentiment and hearts on tag. Embellish with Adhesive-backed Hearts. Adhere tags askew with Stampin’ Dimensionals.
Thread tag through ribbon then wrap ribbon around bag and tie a bow in front. Punch hearts from Sweet Sorbet cardstock using Bee Builder Punch and adhere to ends of ribbon with Mini Glue Dots.
Stamp and punch bee and add to tag with Stampin’ Dimensional.

*Bee Builder Punch Tip
Use the Bee Builder Punch to punch a template. Lay the template on top of the white cardstock you are going to stamp. Stamp inside the template. Then punch all the pieces at once. Viola!

Looking Back at 2023 in 3D

December 29, 2023 ~ Jeanie Stark ~ Leave a comment

I love to make gifts and treats for my family, friends, and customers. Today I’m sharing some of my 3D projects from 2023. *Click on the image to view the original post.

The Cracker & Treat Box Dies (Item #159182) make these quick & easy to create for any occasion!

The Heart Punch Pack and leaf dies made it easy to create fun table favors. You can easily substitute different punches or dies. I made these another year with Christmas trees.

These note pad covers are fast and fun to make! Choose your favorite Designer Series Papers and give these as gifts or for yourself. Our family plays games and we use these to keep score.

Another quick & easy table favor/treat holder. A few score lines on a piece of cardstock and decorate as desired. Great to have on hand to give out to coworkers, waitress, hairdresser, postal workers, etc.

The Pretty Pillowbox Dies were one of my favorites!!! I used these dies for so many things without ever making a pillowbox! LOL

The box bag below is fun to make with any Designer Series Papers. A great way to gift $, small gifts, or treats. The Beautiful Balloon Dies (Item #161456) are so versatile and make great tags or embellishments for different projects.

These In Color Treat Bags (Item # 161752) really come in handy for quick gifting! They are food safe so you can fill with your favorite cookies to share with friends, neighbors, workers, etc. A quick & simple tag with some cardstock, DSP, and ribbon and you are good to go! I embellished these with the Tailor Made Tags Dies (Item # 155563), Circle Sayings Bundle, and Cheerful Daisies Bundle. Grab some bags and use what you have!

The Tricks & Treats Dies (Item # 162225) is retiring soon (on Jan 3)! These dies make quick & easy bags all year long! The finished bag is 3 x 4 x 1 and holds more than you think! You’ll want these in your collection! I use them often! Great for hostess gifts!

Do you have a favorite project from the past year? I’d love to hear from you! Leave a comment below.
