VIDEO: Petite Pocket Mini Box

You don't need a reason to make this adorable Petite Pocket Mini Box.  Though - mine are for Easter, you can hand these out anytime and your recipient will squeal with delight (just like the ladies in my husband's office did!)

I've seen these little boxes all over for awhile now.  Finally had to break down and make one.  In the video below, you'll see how to transform Stampin' Up! Petite Pocket into a mini box.

DOstamping Celebration Day#1: Holiday Wreath Interlocking Card & Give-a-Way

We kick off our DOstamping Celebration Day #1 with a fun Interlocking Floral Frames Wreath Card & Video. 

This suprisingly easy and fun interlocking card was shared by my friend Julie Davison.  Her card was a summer floral card, but I switched it up for the holidays.  Thanks for your inspiration Julie!

Snowflake Soriee Floral Frame Framelit...Who Knew?

Last month I had the pleasure of attending a stamp camp at Susan Adam's house.  Her stamping studio was an inspiration!  With display boards and samples everywhere, I was in stamping heaven! 

One of her Snowflake Soriee samples caught my eye.  Why?  Because it was made with the Floral Frame Framelits!  Which are flowers, not snowflakes.  However, with an old punch trick applied to the framelits, viola...snowflake.  Brilliant!  That was the inspiration for today's card. Take a look...

Video: Mary Polcin's Interlocking Hearts Framelit Card

Back in March, I attended a Stampin' Up! Regional Event in Milwaukee.  My favorite swap I received was from Mary Polcin.  I oohed and aahed over her Interlocking Hearts Framelit card as soon as she handed to me.  She's one talented stamper.  I knew immediately I would be doing it at one of my Big Shot Club Classes. 

This summer I finally got around to doing it and it was a big hit with my club members!  Thank you Mary!!  My version (shown above) has one less framelit heart.  You can see her card on the video below.  Be sure to check it out, as you'll be surprised at just how easy it is to do!!

The Perfectly Preserved Jar Tag would make for a perfect addition to any gift of homemade canned fruit, salsa, applesauce, jelly, etc.

Perfectly Preserved Apple Cider Pouch

Ever since I made the Scentsational Season Hot Cocoa Pouch (see video), I had it in my mind to make a pouch to hold a apple cider drink packet.  I'm excited to share it with you today.  I enjoyed using the Orchard Harvest Designer Fabric to tie off the pouch with a cinnamon stick.  Added a 3D apple, stamped and cut with the Perfectly Perserved Bundle.  It makes me smile.
