Honey Bee Hive Gift Box & Coordinating Card

stampininthesandLeave a comment

Is this set not the Bees Knees? I was inspired by fellow Demo, Vanessa Stokes, and I was thrilled to be able to pull out my Window Box Thinlits Dies to create a Bee Hive Box! Typing up some super cute “Bee” sayings and printing them on card stock opens up so many possibilities!

Did you know that these dies are currently available in the Clearance Rack? OMGosh! You can create some awesome projects with these! Not just boxes but the inlay dies make fantastic cards too! Or Scrapbook layouts. A Google or Pinterest search will have you deciding these are a must have!

But, don’t delay because the Clearance Rack items are a Limited Supply. Once they are gone, they are gone for good!

Ordering the Window Box Thinlits Dies gets you more than half way to earning a Free Sale-a-bration item too 😉 Download your supply list here and shop following the links below.

Order these dies and enter Host Code NCK3ZJBZ and I will send you the supplies to creating my projects, FREE, as my way of say “Thank You”. If your order is $50 or more, you will also be prompted to select your FREE Sale-a-bration item AND I will also be sending you my latest 4-Card Tutorial as well – so check your in-box. The Tutorial should arrive within 24 hours so contact me if you don’t see it (after checking your Spam folder of course 😉 )

Happy Stamping!

All Dressed Up Summer Tote Bag

stampininthesandLeave a comment

Is this not the cutest little bag?! I’m dying here! So Perfect for handing out my little gifts, mini catalogs, and business cards for my Bag Biz. I CASE’d it from Pinterest. The original was created by fellow demo Catherine Proctor from Australia. She really knocked it out of the park with this one!

It’s a Tropical Escape in the craft room! Straw hats, beach bags, warm sun, sandy beaches, and Pina Coladas under an umbrella! Yep. I got all that from this fun bag 😉

To create this fun bag yourself, I’ve provided the list of supplies you will need below.

Rise & Shine Sale-a-bration Tea Bag/Treat Holder

stampininthesandLeave a comment

I was so excited to see a new stamp set to coordinate with the Cup Of Cheer Dies – which carried over from the Holiday Catalog. I am a coffee addict. Don’t talk to me before that first, glorious sip of caffeine hits my belly, LOL.

But, this set is not just for us Coffee Lovers! It’s for all of the Tea Lovers too.

This little tea bag holder was shared by another demonstrator on our demonstator-only Facebook group. I was immediately drawn to it’s vibrant colors and wanted to give it a go myself.

I have altered the original slightly. If you have seen this before, here are my changes:

  • slightly shorter measurements
  • image layer is a stitched rectangle and is popped-up
  • flap closer tucks under the image layer
  • added a staple and bow to the “tea bag” image
  • added a clothes pin with a punched flower and pearl

I hope you love this project as much as I do. If you try it, and put your own “spin” on it, please visit my Facebook page and share your version with me. I’d love to see it!

To create this project yourself, download the printout and shop my Online Store to gather any of the supplies you need. Remember, all orders of $50 or more qualify for FREE Sale-a-bration item(s) plus my Monthly 4-card Tutorial for even more project ideas.

Christmastime Is Here Gift Set

stampininthesandLeave a comment

This stunning gift set was created with the Christmastime Is Here Suite and various other elements. I love how everything came together.

The Gold Mini Pizza Boxes are a gorgeous way to give a little gift – and, they are food safe so you can even gift a delicious treat 😉 I embossed the lid and wrapped it in a beautiful belly band to dress it up even more.

The flowers on the card were fussy-cut from the Christmastime Is Here DSP. And it did not take as much time to do as you would think 😉

To create your own stunning gift set, order your supplies following the link below.

Creating A Free Skate Pillow Box

stampininthesandLeave a comment

Have you noticed these wonderful pillow boxes?

What a great way to give a gift card, gift certificate, cash, a sweet treat, bauble, or small gift! There are so many fabulous ways to dress up these boxes too! This sample, for example, is full of texture and elegance.

To create this decorative pillow box yourself, I’ve got all of your supplies listed below. 

The Free Skate Bundle is retiring on January 2nd. I’ll be sorry to see it go. It is so perfect for winter cards, gift tags, and scrapbook layouts. I love the greetings in it too. I’m really liking the mixed fonts nowadays. Comet to think of it, this set is a “must have” for the greetings alone.

Oh, I even noticed that the “Capture the Memories of the Season” would pair wonderfully with the Capture The Good stamp set and “Warmest Winter Wishes” pairs with the Let It Snow Suite, scenes you create with the Snow Front stamp set, any of our die-cut/stamped snow flakes… endless possibilities.

Happy Stamping!
