handmade cards and gift ideas – Page 2

Valentine’s Day is next week so it’s time to get those cards and treats ready to send or deliver. I used the Bouquet of Love Hybrid Embossing Folder with Word Wishes and Love You More Than Dies to create some sweet Valentine treats for my adult children. Stampin' Up! Word Wishes Dies and Bouquet of Love Hybrid Embossing Folder Valentines with Mini paper Pumpkin boxes - Jeanie Stark StampinUp
This is a card and treat all in one! I decorated the front of the Mini Paper Pumpkin Boxes like a card and filled it with my family’s favorite chocolate treats. (I even coordinated the cardstock with the candy.) These treats are so yummy as well as quick & easy to make! I love using the different colored M&M’s for every holiday.
Stampin' Up! Love You More Than Dies and Bouquet of Love Hybrid Embossing Folder Valentines with Mini paper Pumpkin boxes - Jeanie Stark StampinUp
The Mini Paper Pumpkin Boxes are food safe and make it so easy to gift homemade treats! This is the perfect sentiment for these treats! I love word dies and the easiest way to apply these is to use the Adhesive Sheets. Simply adhere the adhesive sheet to the cardstock before cutting out the dies. Then just remove the backing and adhere.

Let’s take a closer look at what you get with the NEW Bouquet of Love Hybrid Embossing Folder.
Stampin' Up Bouquet of Love Hybrid Embossing Folder - visit juststampin.com for inspiration and ordering information - Jeanie Stark StampinUp
This set is so cool because you can emboss and die cut at the same time. It includes 9 dies and an embossing folder. I used the large heart die with the embossing folder and ran it through the Stampin’ Cut & Emboss Machine in both Magenta Madness and Fresh Freesia cardstock for a two tone look. I love the stitched detail and great impressions you get with this set. You can purchase this set as a bundle with the Love & Happiness Stamp Set (and save 10%). I used A Wish for Everything Stamp Set with the Happy die from Word Wishes.

My daughter’s favorite color is purple. For my son, I used Early Espresso DSP for a more masculine look instead of embossing with the floral.

I tied each with ribbon for a pretty presentation and secure transport through the mail. You can view the complete list of products I used below.

Here’s the recipe if you want to make these yummy treats!

Today’s the day to sign up for my April Card Kit and 3D Project Buffet to go! I have another fun kit for you this month! As always my kits are intended to be versatile so you can use different stamps sets that you already have. Here’s the details if you are interested in my monthly kit:

Just Stampin’ Kit Buffet TO GO cost: $20 (includes shipping and handling)
*Don’t wait to order…Last month’s kit sold out in 3 days!

Just Stampin’ Buffet TO GO Kits include:

Pre-cut supplies for four projects (3 different cards and a 3D project). *Stamped images not included, in accordance with Stampin’ Up! policy.
Envelopes for non 3D projects
Pre-punched items and/or die cuts and textured embossed

Photo Tutorial and directions to complete each project (sent via email)

Orders need to be placed by April 25th. I will email you when your kit is shipped (~ the week of April 26th) and will include the directions to put your kit together.

Here’s how you can reserve your seat at the buffet table:

Email me (j.stark@myactv.net) with “Just Stampin’ Kit Buffet” in the subject line. *Make sure you include your mailing address! Then send payment through PayPal. To do this, go to paypal.com, sign in or register for an account, click “Send” and fill in my email address (j.stark@myactv.net). Fill in the amount ($20 which includes shipping), and Continue.

My “Kit Buffet TO GO!” is intended to make it easy for you to be able to see and try out different products while being able to substitute different stamps you already have.

And you don’t have to worry about having coordinating designer series paper to go with the cardstock, the right color ribbon to match, or other embellishments…everything is in the kit and shipped to you! You just need to stamp and adhere.

Here’s my 3D project (seed packet holder) from last month’s kit. Stampin' Up! Dragonfly Garden Seed Packet holder with Ornate Garden Designer Series Paper - Jeanie Stark StampinUp

I am sharing the tutorial with you today so you can get an idea of what’s included in my kits as well as my easy to follow instructions.

My kit arrived today and I’m so excited! What great cards and I love the flexibility. They’re beautiful. Thanks, Susan

I love the way everything coordinates (which is my biggest challenge) and the kit was so well organized with the pieces for the box all together neatly in a glassine envelope. Such attention to detail!

I haven’t had much time to craft lately but I did these in a jiffy and they are sooo cute. Thank you for offering this for us!
