Nothing’s Better Than…

September 13, 2020September 17, 2020 ~ Jeanie Stark ~ 7 Comments

How would you finish the statement, Nothing’s better than….? Yesterday it was fresh air and friends for me! My friend Susan and I met at Ramsey’s in Annapolis. The three of us enjoyed a socially distanced picnic in the park. It was the perfect afternoon! I packed a picnic lunch with sandwiches, fresh fruit cups, and some yummy chocolate brownies for dessert! Stampin’ Up! Mini Pizza Boxes and the new Mini Coffee Cups provided the perfect picnic packaging!

Framed Sunflowers Card and Tealight Candle Box Gift Idea

August 5, 2020August 7, 2020 ~ Jeanie Stark ~ 13 Comments

I can’t stop creating with the Celebrate Sunflowers Bundle! It is such a versatile set! It’s on my list of Favorite Things from the annual catalog and today’s projects are just another reason why! I love making cards to coordinate with gifts!

Stampin' Up! Celebrate Sunflowers and Well Written gift set idea for a friend - Jeanie Stark StampinUp

It’s easy to see the inspiration for my card and box came from the adorable tea light candles I purchased from Amazon. I love that 4 candles fit perfectly in the Mini Pizza Boxes for a cute little gift to “brighten” someone’s day!

Stampin' Up! Celebrate Sunflowers Mini Pizza Box gift idea for a friend - Jeanie Stark StampinUp

The sentiment from the Paper Pumpkin Sunshine kit was perfect to go with the candles! I stamped the small sunflowers in Bumblebee Ink and colored them with So Saffron and Cinnamon Cider Blends. I used the Layering Squares Dies to cut out the sentiment and scalloped layer. It makes a nice statement when you open the box. And you don’t even have to untie the gorgeous gingham ribbon to get inside! I just wrapped that around the box, tied a bow in front, and secured with a Mini Glue Dot.

I am really missing getting together with my friends!!! The Well Written Dies (and coordinating Well Said Stamp Set) have sentiments for so many occasions. This one is simply stated!

Stampin' Up! Celebrate Sunflowers and Well Written Dies missing you card idea - Jeanie Stark StampinUp

The key to making this card easy was using the new Adhesive Sheets (found on page 172 in the annual catalog). Trust me…you need to add these to your next order!!! I easily adhered my cardstock to the adhesive sheet, ran the sunflower die and the sentiments through the die cut machine, removed the adhesive backing and adhered to the card! So simple!!! I added an embossed layer with the Scripty 3D embossing folder. I love how this simple step adds a little texture! I used the Stitched Rectangles to make my frame and cut strips of the new Foam Adhesive Sheets to adhere the frame to the card.

I wanted to carry the framed sunflower look from the card to my gift box. I used the Layering Squares Dies and the same technique with the Adhesive Sheets for the sunflower and word die.

A Magical Birthday

November 4, 2018May 15, 2019 ~ Jeanie Stark ~ 8 Comments

My daughter is turning 21 next week! We like to give birthday “experiences” and this year we surprised her with an early celebration. We sent her the confirmation for her plane ticket for Fall break however; instead of a ticket to fly home, we sent her a ticket to Orlando! She did not know that was her destination until she went online to check in 24 hours in advance and thought her dad had messed up the flight. LOL Needless to say, she was thrilled when she found out she was going to Universal Studios (the Wizarding World of Harry Potter) and we would be meeting her there. We are HUGE Harry Potter fans and I can still remember reading aloud all seven books to her. Our son lives in Massachusetts and he took off from work and flew in to surprise her. We had a wonderful time!

We had a few other surprises for her too!

I found a “golden snitch” bracelet and made a special holder (which could also be used to hold a gift card).

I love that you pull the ribbon to reveal the gift/card inside.

Stampin Up Detailed With Love and Broadway Bound 21st birthday gift card holder - Jeanie Stark StampinUp

Details:
4 1/4 x 5 1/2 Gold Foil scored at 1 1/2 and 4. Punch a hole in the center using 1/4″ circle punch. Adhere with tear & tape on back.
Cut ~12″ ribbon and loop around cardstock (Gold Glimmer Paper) and slide inside.
Insert ribbon through hole and tie a knot.
Decorate front as desired. I used Broadway Bound DSP and Gold Metallic Ribbon.
Pull ribbon to view/open.

We love to play family games and I found this fun idea on Pinterest.

I printed the cards on Whisper White cardstock and cut them out. They were the perfect size to fit in a Stampin’ Up! Mini Pizza Box!

This is a quick & easy gift that would be great for any Harry Potter fan! I included the links below if you want to make this. It’s not too early to make some fun stocking gifts! You can purchase the mini pizza boxes from my online store.
