Here’s a cool bottom fold card I learned from Linda Heller. I changed it up to create a masculine card using the Well Suited Designer Series Paper.

The Happy Dies are so versatile as you can use it for so many different occasions (birthday, anniversary, graduation, and more). Just add whatever sentiment for the occasion on the inside.

Punches have always been a favorite of mine! They make it so quick & easy to create beautiful projects. The Scalloped Tag Topper Punch and Small Bloom Punch are two of my very favorites! I am sad to see the last of the Circle Punches retire as I love these for sentiments on card fronts and more!

Tags, Tags, Tags & 12 Days of Giveaways Day 6

December 17, 2020December 17, 2020 ~ Jeanie Stark ~ 16 Comments

I love to make homemade tags. They are really quick & easy with the Tags, Tags, Tags stamp set and coordinating dies. You can stamp and cut 3 at a time! What a great time saver! This set is from the annual catalog and I have used it a lot!

Here’s a sweet tag and gift I made for a former student who was in a recent theater performance of Elf. This sentiment (and hand sanitizer) was perfect for the occasion! (*Thanks to Meg Loven for the Elf sanitizer idea!)

How stinkin’ cute is this?! It was so quick & easy to make! The little elf sanitizer wrap starts with a 5 x 1 1/2″ piece of DSP from ‘Tis the Season. The belt is a 1/4″ strip of Real Red Cardstock (snip a piece off one end for the middle of the buckle) and a 3/4″ square of Silver Foil. Cut a piece of Whisper White using the Warm Wrap Dies for the bottom. The buttons are punched from the Confetti Flowers Border Punch. Here’s what it looks like before I adhered it to the bottle.

Use a bone folder to lightly curve the paper before adhering to the hand sanitizer bottle. So much fun to create and sure to bring a smile!

I stamped the elf tag in Shaded Spruce, colored with Stampin’ Blends, and cut out with the Trio of Tags Dies. I wrapped the elf sanitizer in a cellophane bag and added the tag with Mossy Meadow Diagonal Striped Ribbon (50% off) and gold cord from the Wonder of The Season Ribbon Combo Pack (also 50% off).

You can view the complete product list below. *Several of these items (including the DSP) are retiring and on SALE!

You can see more tags I made with this set HERE and HERE.

I love punches and Stampin’ Up! currently has 3 different ones that are great for making tags. *Click on the image to view in my online store.

Simply punch one end of a 2 x 4 1/4 strip of cardstock with any one of these punches and have fun adding some DSP and using what you have to stamp and embellish! Here are some simple tag ideas I made. These are quick & easy to create.

The tags above were created with the Delightful Tag Topper Punch, Plaid Tidings Designer Series Paper, Pine Tree & 2″ Circle Punches, and the Perfectly Plaid & Banner Year Stamp Sets. Below is a little different version using the Scalloped Tag Topper Punch with some retired DSP and dies.

Even though some of these tags are from past years and include retired products, I hope they inspire you to use whatever dies, punches, and DSP you have to have fun creating handmade tags! It’s really all about a homemade holiday and a great way to use up those little scraps of paper you have leftover!

So Much Happy for Ariane’s Birthday!

November 10, 2020 ~ Jeanie Stark ~ 11 Comments

Today is my daughter’s birthday! I wish we could be together to celebrate! Here’s the birthday “cake” card and little gift I sent her. Stampin' Up! So Much Happy birthday card and acetate gift box idea - Jeanie Stark StampinUp
Can you guess her favorite color? I always make purple cards for her! I love this birthday cake card idea from Brenda Quintana. It is real easy to make with the Happy Dies. I used both the dies and stamp set from the So Much Happy Bundle to create this gift set. Stampin' Up! So Much Happy bundle - visit juststampin.com for inspiration and ordering information - Jeanie Stark StampinUp
The So Much Happy Bundle includes the So Much Happy Stamp Set and the Happy Dies. Make birthday cards, graduation gifts, and other papercrafting projects with the So Much Happy Stamp Set. Decorate your projects with fun die-cut elements—balloons, streamers, and more with the coordinating Happy Dies! You can create so many fun projects and cards with this bundle! Here’s the details to make the card:

Measurements:

Purple Posy (Card Base): 4 1/4 x 11 scored at 5 1/2, scraps to punch flowers
DSP (Playing With Patterns): 4 1/4 x 4 3/8, 1/2 x 4 (inside)
Whisper White (icing): 2 pieces 4 1/4 x 1, 4 x 4 (inside)

Directions:

Fold and burnish card base.
Line the top of the letters on the Happy Die with the fold of the card base and run it through the die cut machine.
Adhere the DSP to the card front.
Use the Scalloped edge die to cut 2 pieces for icing. *Run each piece through with different parts of the die to get a different look for each.
Adhere icing strips to the front of the card.
Punch flowers using the Small Bloom Punch and Confetti Flowers Border Punch. Adhere to card with Mini Glue Dots. Add Pearl Basic Jewels to flower centers.
Adhere Whisper White layer inside. Stamp sentiment in Highland Heather and adhere DSP strip along the bottom.

I have been making a lot of these acetate gift boxes lately. I enjoy making cards and gifts to coordinate!
Stampin' Up! Clear Acetate Gift Box idea with So Much Happy stamp set - Jeanie Stark StampinUp
I enjoyed reading your comments and ideas for what to put in these 3 1/8 x 3 1/8 acetate boxes! Here’s what I put in this one.

Stampin' Up! Acetate Box with Scalloped Tag Topper Punch and So Much Happystamp set - Jeanie Stark StampinUp

A year ago I never would have thought that I’d be looking for a necklace to attach a mask. It’s a useful and practical gift for this year. I also added some chocolate (of course)! The acetate box holds 6 wrapped Hershey nuggets as well as the necklace. I used a piece of coordinating cardstock in the front of the box and cut 6 1x 3 in. strips to wrap the nuggets. I added a small pearl and flowers punched with the Small Bloom Punch and Confetti Flowers Border Punch to each one. Usually we like to give a birthday “experience” every year but there’s certainly nothing usual about this year! This year has provided enough new “experiences” and she wants/needs a desk for her apartment. I’m hoping this birthday is better than last year! If you follow my blog you may remember she had to take her graduate exam on her birthday last year and the Uber van she was in was involved in an accident. She spent most of her birthday in the hospital.
She’s not planning to go anywhere today!!!

Today’s the day I promised to announce the blog candy winner of the kit to make the poinsettia acetate box. And the winner is…Bernice P! Congratulations Bernice!

Thanks to all who left comments sharing ideas! I’d love it if you could leave a comment wishing my daughter a Happy Birthday today! She’s doing research and working hard to help during this pandemic and stop the spread of the coronavirus!

You can purchase any of the products I used to create today’s projects from my online store. Click HERE or on the images below to shop! *Orders of $40 or more receive EXCLUSIVE monthly tutorials (via email) featuring the Poinsettia Petals Bundle.

I have had an enormous response to my Special Edition Holiday Kit to go! I can only make so many each month and I am positive this one will sell out soon! If you haven’t ordered yours yet, don’t wait! Click HERE for details.

Have a great day! Stay safe! Stay well!
