Favored Flowers Gift for the Tic Tac Toe Challenge – TTTC197

Happy Thursday! You know what that means… it’s time for another Tic Tac Toe Challenge!  I love these challenges as they get me creating with different elements I might not have used otherwise. Today’s project is a great one! And it’s super simple and quick to create!

I love to make these covered notepads to give as gifts. They are great for a hostess, friend, …really just about anyone! I always bring one to my sister and my daughter when I visit. We love to play card games and are always looking for paper to keep score. Personally, I am lost without my daily “To Do” list! I love that with just some simple decorating I have a pretty notepad on my desk!

I used the gorgeous Favored Flowers Designer Series Paper. There’s only 12 days left to grab this paper for FREE!!! During Sale-A-Bration you can choose a free gift for every $50 you spend. I love this patterned paper!

Coordinating Colors: Basic Black, Blackberry Bliss, Calypso Coral, Evening Evergreen, Fresh Freesia, Mossy Meadow, Petal Pink

The Fragrant Flowers Bundle in the Mini Catalog coordinates with this paper. I used the dies from the bundle to cut the flower from the DSP.

The Pretty Flowers embossing folder compliments the floral patterns nicely.

Here are some more 5 x 8 covered notepads I made with different patterns.

For these I used the Go To Greetings Stamp Set. “Just A Note” was perfect for these notepads. I love the different fonts and having different sizes for the each of the sentiments. This really is a “Go To” stamp set!

I used each of the different sizes on my notepads. I did a little fussy cutting one one, added a banner on another, and stamped on DSP. Here’s a look at each.

Here are the details:

  • Cardstock 1: 10 3/8 x 8 (cover) scored at 5 1/16 and 5 5/16, 4 1/4 x 1 1/4
  • Cardstock 2: 4 1/4 x 7 1/4, 4 1/4 x 1 (embossed or use DSP)
  • Designer Series Paper (Favored Flowers): 4 x 7,  die cut flower

I also covered the inside of the notepad. I used cardstock with a DSP strip for one and just DSP for another.

  • Cardstock 2 or DSP (for notepad binding): 2 x 5 scored at 1 and 1 1/4
  • Designer Series Paper (Favored Flowers): 3/4 x 5 (layered strip)

Adhere the cover on the notepad binding before adhering the notepad on the inside. You need to use a strong adhesive to adhere the notepad. I prefer the Multipurpose Liquid Glue for this. *Note-These notepads fit in the Stampin’ Up! 6 x 8 Cellophane Bags which are perfect for gifting!

Time for Tags and A Few More of My Retiring Favorites

I’ve been sharing projects showcasing some of my retiring favorites. If you missed my posts for This Little Piggy or The Honey Bee Bundle, you can view them HERE or HERE.

Today I’m showcasing a few more of my retiring favorites: the Stitched Labels Dies, Kraft Pillow Boxes and Time for Tags Stamp Set. I used all three of these to make a Quick & easy gift for any occasion!

Stampin' Up! Time for Tags and Stitched Labels Dies Pillow Box idea- Jeanie Stark StampinUp

The Time for Tags Stamp Set has 5 different tags as well as different sentiments to add to them. You can color the tags with your Stampin’ Blends, Watercolor Pencils, or ink and a blender pen. This is a versatile stamp set that can be used for all kinds of tags or cards.

The stamp set coordinates with the Timeless Labels Punch for quick & easy punching. I cut out the Stitched Labels Die to add a layer to pop up the tag. Then I took the Polka Dot Tulle Ribbon and looped it through the right side hole and then around the pillow box. I put one ribbon end through the hole on the other side and then tied a bow. So simple and pretty!!!

Any one of the tags could be added for a quick & easy gift. Pop in a gift card with some chocolate for a birthday, a little bib or booties for a new baby, etc. Hooray for You is great for graduations, new job, retirement, etc. And Something For You can be used anytime!

Do you prefer the white layer or colored cardstock layer? I’d love to hear from you.  Leave a comment below. I’ll pick a random winner to send one of these Layered Tag Pillow Boxes.

I have used the pillow boxes for so many different occasions: table favors, Advent boxes, a birthday banner, gift card holder, sweet treats, etc. They are so versatile and a great deal at just $5 for a set of 10! Click on the photos below to view the original posts.

Best Dressed Sweet Friend Swap Card

Stampin' Up! Best Dress Honey Bee thinking of you card idea for a friend - Jeanie Stark StampinUp

I made this card for a swap I’m participating in. I love this sentiment from the Honey Bee Stamp Set.  I can’t seem to stop playing with this set!  It is so versatile! Check it out!

Stampin' Up! Honey Bee Stamp Set - for inspiration and ordering information visit juststampin.com - Jeanie Stark StampinUp

This my featured stamp of the month. (*See details below.) I have been making a variety of cards and gifts with it! Click HERE to see one of my new favorite fun fold cards.

This is one of my “go to” layouts for a quick & easy card! I chose the beautiful floral DSP from the Best Dressed 6 x 6 Designer Series Paper pack then chose my coordinating colors of Lovely Lipstick and Petal Pink.  Here’s the measurements:

  • Card Base: Petal Pink 5 1/2 x 8 1/2 scored at 4 1/4
  • Layer 1: Lovely Lipstick 3 3/8 x 3 5/8
  • DSP Layer: 3 1/4 x 3 1/2

I stamped the sentiment in Lovely Lipstick on Whisper White and cut it out with the Stitched Shapes Dies.  It is layered on Lovely Lipstick cut with a Scalloped Oval Die and popped up with Stampin’ Dimensionals.  The butterfly is from the Butterfly Gala stamp set and stamped with Lovely Lipstick on Whisper White and colored with Clear Wink of Stella.  It is punched out using the Butterfly Duet Punch. I also used the leaf punch and punched 2 from Old Olive Perennial Essence Vellum cardstock. Such a pretty combination of colors! Punches make it quick & easy!

I added some layers on the inside with the coordinating cardstock, DSP, and the matching mini butterfly.  I left it blank for a personal message but this sentiment works for many occasions (happy birthday, get well, congratulations, etc.)
