Stampin Up Year of Cheer and Merry Little Labels gift box idea - Jeanie Stark StampinUp

‘Tis the season of giving! I love to create my own packaging for gifts and when it comes to giving monetary gifts (which seems to be the preference for teenagers and young adults)  it’s fun to add a little surprise element. Hopefully this little box does just that! This “never ending money box” is fun and easy to make with just a few supplies…Simply Scored Scoring Tool, adhesive, and washi tape (and $ of course).  You can embellish the box as much or as little as you like.  Pretty ribbon and a tag do the trick !

My son and two nephews are going up north skiing and snowboarding after Christmas so I know they can use a little extra cash.  I thought the gorgeous snowflake paper and sentiment from Merry Little Labels would be perfect for their boxes. It certainly doesn’t look like your typical monetary gift. Take a peek inside…

Washi Tape holds the bills together and you just fold in thirds accordion style to make it look like a lot more $.  I heat embossed the label with Silver Embossing Powder and punched another label using the Silver Glimmer Paper. You can use these boxes for more than just money! I used the Large Letters Framelits to monogram my other box. You could fit jewelry, small candles, etc. in the box.

There’s so many possibilities for how you can decorate these boxes. Yesterday I shared a fun set of “dice” boxes I created for my husband’s birthday. They look totally different from today’s boxes yet they were made the same way.

J is for Joy

Welcome to my Holiday ABC series! J is for Joy and today’s card brings me that! Yesterday I shared highlights from my weekend away with some of my fellow demonstrator friends.  I am still smiling from all the fun we had.  One thing we like to do when we get together is a shoe box swap.  We each design a card to share and put everything needed to make it in a shoe box. Then everyone makes each others card.  This card was designed by Rosanne Mulhern (Heartfelt Stamping). I had so much fun making it.

Stampin Up Perfect Pines and Large Letters Framelits Christmas card idea - Jeanie Stark StampinUp

I love the Large Letters Framelits dies! I admit they are a bit of an investment but once I bought them I have used them for so many cards and projects!  They are great for personalizing or monogramming cards, tags, or gift bags. I used them for an accordion fold card I shared previously that I made for Mother’s Day. (You can see that project HERE.)

Today’s card features a 5 1/2 x 8 1/2 Cherry Cobbler card base which is scored at 4 1/4.  The next layer measures 4 x 5 1/4 and is stamped with the Woodgrain Stamp in Crumb Cake ink. JOY is cut from the Merry Little Christmas Designer Series Paper and could be added to the Basic Black layer with Stampin’ Dimensionals; however, for this card it is layered on top of craft foam that was also cut with the Large Letters Framelits and adhered with Multipurpose Liquid Glue. The pines were cut from Old Olive cardstock using the Pretty Pines Thinlits and adhered with glue dots.

The inside sentiment is from Snowflake Sentiments and is stamped in Cherry Cobbler ink.  The layer of DSP and black cardstock adds the finishing touch to tie it all together.

Black  may not be a traditional color for Christmas but it sure looks striking with the Cherry Cobbler and Christmas pines. I love it! Here’s a photo of Rosanne with her card from our stamping weekend.

Painted Harvest Joy

Stampin Up Painted Harvest Christmas Joy Card Idea - Jeanie Stark StampinUp For inspiration and supplies visit www.juststampin.com

Oh how I love the Painted Harvest Stamp Set!  I am always looking for versatility in a stamp set and this one brings me “Joy”! I used the sunflower stamp as a wreath for this clean & simple Christmas card.

This card layout is one you can use over and over. Just change the DSP and stamp any sentiment on the panel. I used the Large Letter Framelits to cut out the letters in Real Red cardstock. These framelits are a bit pricey but I am so glad I made the investment. They are perfect for monogrammed cards. I use them a lot to personalize cards and gifts.

I stamped the 2 step wreath in Garden Green ink and added the berries in Real Red. The slim 1/8″ Real Red Ribbon makes a pretty bow. The stamped panel is adhered with Stampin’ Dimensionals.

I love the plaid DSP from the Christmas Around the World Designer Series Paper. There are many fun prints in this paper pack.

It’s time to start thinking about your Christmas cards. This is one you could easily mass produce to send. It’s quick & easy to make! My Whisper White panel measures 3 x 4 1/4 and the Real Red layer is 1/8″ larger (3 1/8 x 4 3/8).
