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

You’re Invited To My Card Funeral

April 11, 2017April 11, 2017 ~ Jeanie Stark ~ 7 Comments

I really love the simplicity of this sympathy card and I will be mourning the loss of the products used the create it. Yesterday Stampin’ Up! posted the retirement list and the Crumb Cake Note Cards (133766), Floral Affection Embossing Folder (#141713), and Affectionately Yours Specialty Designer Series Paper (#141632) are all on the retiring products list and only available WHILE SUPPLIES LAST. I love these products! The good news is some of these are on sale so you can take advantage and get a good deal! Don’t wait though as retiring products tend to sell out fast (especially if they are on sale)!

The base of my card is a Crumb Cake Note Card. You’ve heard me say before how these are such a great deal (20 note cards & envelopes for $6). I added a layer of Whisper White which measures 3 x 4 1/2. I embossed this piece with the Floral Affection Embossing Folder and adhered a layer of 1 1/4 x 3 DSP along the left edge. I stamped the sentiment from Flourishing Phrases Stamp Set in Momento Black ink (also retiring). I wrapped some Whisper White Baker’s Twine, tied a bow, and adhered this layer to my card base with Stampin’ Dimensionals.

I have used the embossing folders in this set on several cards in the past. Before they “Rest In Peace” let’s take a look down Memory Lane at some cards I’ve created with the Floral Affection Embossing Folders.

I hope you enjoyed this little trip down Memory Lane with the Floral Affection embossing folders. I will miss them!!! They are replacing the Crumb Cake note cards & envelopes with Very Vanilla so I am OK with that though I would rather just have all 3 colors to choose from. 🙂

My WCMD Shoebox Swap

December 3, 2016 ~ Jeanie Stark ~ 5 Comments

Simple Christmas Card with Stampin’ Up! Wondrous Wreath Stamp Set

I am reliving all the fun I had in Atlanta as I share with you the cards and projects we made. After dinner on Friday night we had a shoebox swap. Each person that wanted to participate brought a card or project they made and put everything they used in a shoebox so others could create it. We each provided enough supplies for 10 people. I needed to fit everything in my carry on luggage for my flight to Atlanta so I made a simple card that did not require my Big Shot.

This is what was in my shoebox:

Stamp sets: Wondrous Wreath, Flourishing Phrases Papers: Whisper White, Cherry Cobbler, This Christmas Designer Series Paper Ink: Cherry Cobbler Accessories: Cherry Cobbler 3/8″ Silky Taffeta Ribbon, Triple Banner Punch, Stampin’ Dimensionals, Glue Dots

Everything was precut so everyone just had to stamp, punch, and assemble. Here are the measurements:

Whisper White: 5 1/2 x 8 1/2 scored at 4 1/4, 1 x 3 1/2 (for banner)

Cherry Cobbler: 3 1/4 x 4 1/4

DSP: 3 x 4 (You can get 12 pieces per 12 x 12 sheet), 2 1/4 x 6 (for envelope flap)

I made 2 different sample cards so people could choose which one they wanted to make. Let’s face it everyone needs thank you cards after the holidays and this is a great one to mass produce. I have a stack ready to send!

For the thank you card I just tied the ribbon in a knot instead of a bow and attached it to the banner with a glue dot. Either option is quick & easy and still makes a statement. The crisp white really stands out against the DSP. I used Stampin’ Dimensionals to pop up the Cherry Cobbler layer to add depth. Check back tomorrow to see some of the cards I made at the shoebox swap.

Have a wonderful day!
