Last year I shared a video on how to use the Cracker and Treat Box Die, and created one for different holidays. It was such a lot of fun that I decided to make a Valentine version featuring the Country Bouquet Stamp Set and coordinating Country Bouquet Punch to show that a cracker is not just for Christmas!
Continue readingThis makes such a pretty gift to put a few goodies in as a gift for friends and family. As you can see from my photo I had some fun making several of these – choosing my card color from the colors in the decorative paper. Oh…. and the punch I could not remember in the video is called Lovely Labels Pick a Punch!
Continue readingI love to have treats to give if we have guests or even if we have been invited to dinner, taking a little treat for each person makes my heart happy. The Cracker and Treat Box Dies are just perfect for whipping up a whole bunch of them, just choose the colors to meet your occasion. As for filling them…………. I give lots of ideas in the video. 🙂

In today’s video tutorial I share how to make a pretty little bag to fit a 30g tube of hand cream as well as a technique for creating the topper with the Elegant Tag Punch.

When Stampin’ UP! 2020 Aug/December Mini Catalog came out earlier this year it had the Little Treat Dies, perfect for creating and wrapping a little gift. I experimented and found I could get a mini hand sanitizer in one or a couple of those famous chocolate squares! I am sure there are lots of other goodies out there that would fit in as well.
Continue readingI am so grateful for my lovely customers who shop with me for their Stampin’ Up Supplies. I try to give a little gift each month and for April I chose to decorate some Ghirardelli Chocolate Squares.
These are so quick and easy to make, you can get 6 out of a single sheet of card and 36 pieces of DSP from a 12 x 12 sheet. The colors I chose to use are directly from the Happiness Blooms DSP and the greeting from the A Good Day Stamp Set (which is about to retire so get your order in as soon as you can so as not to miss out (there is a link below)
I have one more Christmas themed treat box to share before the BIG Day. As many of you may know I am an ex-pat Brit living in North Texas for a little over 16 years.
One of the Christmas traditions in the UK is to have Christmas Crackers on the table. In our family we used to pull them after we had eaten the main course and before we tucked into the dessert of Christmas Pudding and Mince Pies with either brandy butter or whipped cream.
I have said on many occasions that I love to make 3D items and what can be better than a 3D with chocolate! I chose to make them in classic Black and White then used the Year of Cheer Designer Series Paper which allowed me to bring in some gold and silver.
This would be perfect for your Christmas tablescape but change up the colors and you can have a treat holder for birthdays, wedding, showers, baby – just about any celebration you can think of. Continue reading
I love to take candy (sweets) and make them into something a little bit special. I have been decorating Hershey’s Nuggets for several years now – giving them as thank you’s and selling them at craft fairs in the run up to Christmas. They are very quick and easy to do, taking just a few supplies……. and you can use them for just about any occasion you can think of. The ones I am sharing today were for a July 4th dinner we were invited to a couple of weeks ago. Continue reading
I love to teach and to share and I really love when one of my lovely ladies shares one of her creations with me. The one I am sharing in this, my 500th blog post, was from a class I did back in October and I share it with the full agreement of Kim, who created it.
