Celebration Labels Tags for the Pals Blog Hop

October 14, 2020October 14, 2020 ~ Jeanie Stark ~ 30 Comments

Hello, welcome to the Stampin’ Pretty Pals’ Blog Hop! This month our Design Team’s theme is “Tag, You’re It” – tags or 3D projects to get you inspired for the upcoming gift season. We hope you enjoy and will be inspired by them! Don’t forget to leave comments! We love hearing from you. At the end of my post, you will find the full line-up to help you “hop” along from Pal to Pal.

I am loving the versatility with the Celebration Labels Dies! I paired the dies with the Harvest Hellos stamp set and Apple Builder Punch to make these tags for some homemade applesauce and apple bread.

One of my favorite fall traditions is to pick my own apples from the orchard then come home and make all kinds of apple recipes! My family loves my apple bread. I decided to take a little (6 1/2 hour) drive to personally deliver some to my adult children last weekend. (*The fall foliage made for a beautiful trip north!)

I also made some bread for my sister and coordinated her tag to match the bread plate.

The Heartwarming Hugs Designer Series Paper I used on each of the tags is part of the 15% OFF sale this month! These patterns can be used for many different occasions throughout the year!

These tags are all about layering! The Celebration Labels Dies have 5 different sizes. They’re perfect to create handmade projects for any occasion. You can click HERE to see some cards I shared previously using these dies.

Here’s a tip to extend your dies for even more layering possibilities! Cut out one of the dies then line up the notches in your paper trimmer and cut in half. Adhere to the top and bottom of the layering die and add a strip across the middle.

Here’s the details if you’d like to make these tags. (FYI…I’m planning to use the pumpkin from Harvest Hellos to make tags for Pumpkin Bread for Thanksgiving!)

Stamp sets: Harvest Hellos (Bundle), Banner Year
Paper: Heartwarming Hugs Designer Series Paper, Real Red/Cherry Cobbler, Whisper White/Very Vanilla, Pear Pizzazz, Soft Suede

Gum Holder Tutorial and Productivity Tip!

October 6, 2020October 6, 2020 ~ Jeanie Stark ~ 2 Comments

Did you know that chewing gum can increase your productivity? According to studies, chewing gum has incredible effects (speeds up reaction time, boosts cognitive abilities, combats sleepiness, and reduces stress)! My son is starting a new business this week and my daughter has her first major grad school test so I thought I would send them both a little something “Extra”.

Stampin' Up! Gum Holder Box tutorial for chewing gum with Playful Pets- Jeanie Stark StampinUp

This gum holder is fun and simple to make. I had to make my daughter the cat version (as Storm is her “study buddy” these days) and went with some retired Country Club DSP for my son. (His new business adventure is virtual golf.) You can customize the colors, etc. for someone in your life! I’d like to thank Tracy Bradley for the inspiration for this gum holder box idea!
Here’s the details:

Measurements:

Cardstock for box: 3 1/2 x 8 1/2
Score on the long side @ 3 1/8, 3 5/8, 6 3/4, 7 1/4
Score on the short side @ 1/2, 3
DSP: 2 3/8 x 1 1/8, 2 3/8 x 2

Directions:

Cut small square and rectangle from short side (* photo below).
Cut 1/2 inch squares from the middle section.
Punch or die cut circle notch from the top of the box.
Use Tear & Tape or Liquid Glue to adhere the sides.
Add DSP panels.
Pop up die cut or punched shape with Stampin’ Dimensionals to slide lid under to keep box closed. *Tip: Fold the lid over and add 2 Dimensionals just under the lid. Add a third dimensional on the bottom of the die cut piece.

Here’s a few more photos for you!
