Stampin’Up! Monster Hug & Word Bubble Valentines for My Grandkids!

Stampin’Up! Monster Hug & Word Bubble Valentines for My Grandkids!

Hey there! A couple of days ago I went to Jessica's to make valentines with my grandkids. I started this tradition when Maddie Kate was in kindergarten. She's in 7th grade now, so that's makes 8 years of valentines! I wish I had taken pictures of our first ones, but oh, well, here's this years' installment:

Stampin_up_monster_hugs_1

In past years we've spent a lot of hours making quite elaborate valentines, but since this year I knew I might be more pressed for time with all the commitments I have, I decided to go easy. Ava said, "Wow, Grammie, these are alot easier than last year!" I asked if she still liked them and she said "OH YES!" (guess easy can sometimes be just as good or better?)

For both Ava (in 3rd grade) and Cohen (in kindergarten) I opted for the "Monster Hugs" valentines we still have available on the "Whole Lot of Love" flyer:

Stampin_up_monster_hugs_4

Ava was able to assemble these adorable little "monsters" all by herself, signing the "to: from:" area on the monsters' little bum, removing the protective cover on the adhesive area on the front and adhering the candy, adding the single googlie eye, and then attaching the arms together with the slits just above the monster hands!

Cohen needed a little bit more help, but he managed signing his name to the backside, adhering the candy, and adding the googlie eye. The googlie eye was his favorite part!

I brought Nerds, Bottlecaps, and Laffy Taffy for the monsters to "hug"!

Maddie Kate's were pretty simple too. A strip of Fresh Prints Designer Paper punched on both ends with the Scalloped Tag Topper Punch (my FAVORITE new tool in the Occasions Catalog!), then scored in the middle to create the flat area to attach the candy (chocolate, of course!). We tied to ends together with Real Red 1/8" Taffeta Ribbon, then added the valentine greeting from Teeny Tiny Wishes, cut with a Word Bubble Framelit and mounted on a 1 3/4" Pool Party Scallop Circle. We added just a bit of bling with a Silver Glimmer circle!

Just so you know, I had Jessica take these pictures with her fabulous camera! (I'm still learning how to use mine, but I will get better!)

My hubby came along on this trip, so Jessica fixed us a yummy supper before we headed home. Good times!

That's all for today. You can still order the Monster Hugs (for your little munchkins or grandbabies next year!). Just go to my Online Store by clicking HERE.

Stampin’ Up! Happy Watercolor!

Stampin’ Up! Happy Watercolor!

Hey there! Today is my "Happiest Day" class for February! yay! I love to play with my stamps all on my own, but I love it even more when friends come over to play with my stamps with me!

Today's card is one we will be making in class using the Happy Watercolor stamp set from the Occasions Catalog. This card is inspired by a swap I received from Tamra Davis at Leadership last month:

Stampin_up_happy_watercolor_1

We are using the Modern Mosaic Textured Impressions Folder on the card front, then stamping a flower stem from Simple Stems and adding Sweet Sorbet Designer Paper (free with a $50 order from the Sale-a-bration brochure!) flowers punched with the Pansy and Petite Petals Punches. The greeting is stamped and punched with the Scalloped Tag Topper Punch, then layered on piece of Sweet Sorbet paper that has also been punched with the Scalloped Tag Topper Punch!

Stampin_up_happy_watercolor_2

The Crisp Cantaloupe Twine is from the Sweet Sorbet Accessory Pack (free with a $50 order from the Sale-a-bration brochure!). We are piercing a hole through the card front with a Paper-Piercing Tool to thread the twine through before tying in a bow.

Stampin_up_happy_watercolor_3

Inside we are stamping with a sentiment from Delightful Dozen with Jet Black StazOn ink, then stamping with another free Sale-a-bration item, Petite Petals, with Crisp Cantaloupe, Pool Party, and Pistachio Pudding.

Stampin’ Up! Sweetheart Treat Bags!

Stampin’ Up! Sweetheart Treat Bags!

Hey there! Brrrrr! It was extremely cold here this morning! My hubby had to take a day trip to Kentucky early today, so I was in charge of keeping our woodstove going while he was gone. I had to go out to our storage building to get a few things I had moved there during Christmas (stamping related, of course!) and when I tried to open the door the handle was frozen and I couldn't get back in my nice warm house! Eeek! Well, I just had to laugh, because I'm standing there IN MY JAMMIES absolutely freezing! I thought I might have to go knock on a window for one of my sleeping sons to let me in, but after a few hard whacks with my fist the ice that was keeping the door handle button from moving broke off and I was able to ope the door! Whew!

Today I have a treat bag that could be used for a birthday or for Valentine's Day:

Stampin_up_sweetheart_treat_bags_1

I used the Sweetheart Treat Bags that ae only available until January 27th. The pack includes 12 heart sacks, 12 die-cut labels, and 12 pre-cut pieces of Pool Party Baker's Twine. The item code is #134610 and they are only $4.95.

Here's the entire flyer with all of the Whole Lot of Love products:

Download Flyer_wholelotoflove_demo_12.1-1.27.2014_US-1

I added a bit of Basic Black 1/8" Taffeta Ribbon around the bag, then wrapped the Pool Party Baker's Twine. I stamped the die-cut label with one of the stamps from the Love You to the Moon stamp set in the Occasions Catalog (which you can start ordering from in just a few short hours!)

Inside I used the new Scalloped Tag Topper Punch to create insert to attach a treat:

Stampin_up_timeless_talk_1

I used a stamp from Timeless Talk, stamped in Jet Black StazOn ink and colored with Pool Party and Real Red Stampin' Write Markers. I punched two more Scalloped Tags and adhered them to the back of the Whisper White tag for stability and to give it more sturdiness when the candy was glue-dotted onto it.

A tip about the Scalloped Tag Topper Punch and the Angled Tag Topper Punch, both in the Occasions Catalog: Cut your carstock just slightly less than 2 inches wide to be able to slide it perfectly into the guide tht is part of the punch. Another handy feature of these punches is how they also punch the slot/opening to thread the string/ribbon.

Here's the back side of the treat insert. I adhered a punched Scallop Circle that I had also stamped with another Timeless Talk image:

Stampin_up_timeless_talk_3

Here's another version, stamped again with Timeless Talk:

Stampin_up_timeless_talk_2

Well, that's all for now. Most likely by the time you read this the Occasions Catalog will be live and you can go to my Online Store to view it and shop:

Until tomorrow, have a Stampingrox! day!

Stampin’ Up! Happy New Year With a Scalloped Tag Topper Treat!

Stampin’ Up! Happy New Year With a Scalloped Tag Topper Treat!

Hey there! Happy New Year 2014! Did you stay up late and ring in the new year? I did stay up to see the New Year in, but just stayed at home with my hubby. Not boring, just content.

I have a fun little treat holder to show you today using the new Scalloped Tag Topper Punch from the Occasions Catalog (that starts on January 3rd!)

Stampin_up_scalloped_tag_topper_nugget_holder-1

I think it is pretty appropriate for today, since it uses new Fresh Prints Desginer Paper  and a saying from the new Just Sayin' stamp and framelit bundle. I love this offset polka-dot paper with the Real Red, Whisper White, and Coastal Cabana color combo! The Pool Party 1 3/4" Scalloped Circle is the perfect background for the "whoo hoo!" from Just Sayin'.

This little baby was created with a 2 x 6 inch strip of the Fresh Prints paper, punched on both ends with the Scalloped Tag Topper Punch. A 2-inch piece of paper fits perfectly into the guide on the front of the punch and then is easily punched, including the slot for the ribbon, all at the same time! I added a Silver Glimmer punched Itty Bitty Shapes circle and a Real Red 1/8" Taffeta bow to the top to finish it off! It contains a single Hershey's chocolate nugget!

These would make a perfect tiny treat for birthdays or the soon-to-be-upon-us Valentine's Day classroom treat!

You can begin ordering Occasions Catalog products on Friday, January 3rd, but today and tomorrow you can still order your the rest of your wishlist from the Holiday Catalog!

To shop, go to my Online Store: www.carolpayne.stampinup.net

You can check out the Clearance Rack, new Weekly Deals, all the current catalogs, and Newest Arrivals while you are there!

Well, I've go to fly! I have to finish setting up for my "Stampin' in the New Year Stamp-a-Stack" later today!

Until tomorrow, have a Stampingrox! day!
