More Wishes and Beary Christmas DSP

I have another More Wishes project to share with you today.  I shared a cute box yesterday for my Twelve Weeks of Christmas Series using this set.  This card is so fun and quick! You can easily mass produce this one this year!  I paired up the More Wishes Set with the Beary Christmas DSP.  I love the DSP and I love using these busy patterns with the big, bold greetings from the More Wishes Set.  I added some trees from the Beary Cute Set.

Twelve Weeks Of Christmas Week 5-More Wishes Lindt Bear Box-VIDEO

It's week 5 of my Twelve Weeks of Christmas Series!  This time I'm breaking out the Christmas chocolates thanks to the giant box of Lindt Chocolates I found at my local Costco.  I'm looking forward to all the Christmas treats being stocked later this week after Halloween!  Yay!!!  Today's treat is completely adorable and perfect for quick stocking stuffers.  I kept this one pretty festive with reds and greens so that any of the Lindt cuties could be substituted for the bears.  In case you can't find the bears in your area, Lindt usually has other packages like snowmen or Santas.  I love this treat box!  It's simple, quick and cute!  What more could you ask for!

Instead of black for my bee I went with Early Espresso and Daffodil Delight.  I love the warmth of the Early Espresso.  The body and wings are punched with the coordinating punch, I punched the wings in vellum for some fun texture.  I added some pops of color with Lemon Lime Twist and Sweet Sorbet.  Who would you send this cute card to?

Hey Chuck Chicken Soup Box-VIDEO

I'm breaking out the always cute Hey Chuck Bundle for today's project.  I think it's super cute!!  You'll want to make this for your friends and family who are feeling a little under the weather.  Today we're making a treat box that holds a packet of chicken noodle soup.  So cute!  I think anyone who gets this adorable gift would instantly feel better!  What a sweet way to let them know you're thinking of them!  

stampin up, hey chuck

I am using lots of bold and bright colors for this one.  The box is Berry Burst with Lemon Lime Twist grass and Pool Party sky.  I kept the coloring of my chicken fairly simple.  All of the colors are listed below in the supplies.  I die cut the sun and weather vane from Daffodil Delight and Starry Sky Cardstocks.  

stampin up, hey chuck

The box is pretty flat and opens like a book.  To keep it closed I added some Iridescent Ribbon.  Any ribbon would be perfect here.  I used the Deckled Circles for my focal point.  If you don't have these yet, get them on your next order in my Online Store.  I finished with some sequins, by far my most favorite embellishment.

Fluffiest Friends Sweet As Honey Sneek Peek!

I have another sneak peek project for you using the Fluffiest Friends Bundle.  This bundle will be released November 6, 2023 as part of the new Online Exclusives release.  If you can't wait until then for this sweet set grab it now when you join Stampin' Up!  When you purchase the Starter Kit you can add preorder items in your Starter Kit!  How amazing is that!  Just one of the great perks of being a demonstrator.  I also shared this project last week also featuring this bear.  I love the other images in this set but I LOVE the add on dies that coordinate with the bear, like the branch and hive.  So cute!  

stampin up, fluffiest friends

I colored him with our ink and Water Painters on Watercolor Paper and used some Blending Brushes on the background.  I don't watercolor much, it's a coloring medium I'm not super comfortable with but I'm trying to use it more because practice makes perfect right!  One of the awesome dies in the bundle create that arched window shape.  I love that and it works amazing to help spotlight your images.  Sooooo cute!  I stamped my greeting and fussy cut it to fit better on my card.  I love this look but I know it's a little finicky, If you choose not to fussy cut it just stamp it along the top or bottom of the card.  It's equally adorable there too!  

My greeting is also from a brand new set called Bee My Valentine.  This is part of an amazing Bundle of products!  These products are only available now to demonstrators who have signed up for Stampin' Up!'s virtual conference in November.  If you join my team in October you get FREE registration to that event, allowing you to also order the suite early!  Otherwise it will be available in my Online Store in January.  

I have a full supply list below.  You can shop for these products in my Online Store.  Get this bundle in your Starter Kit when you join my team today!

Twelve Weeks Of Christmas Week 4-Festive and Fun Tissue Holder-VIDEO

It's week 4 of my Twelve Weeks Of Christmas Series and today's project is adorable and you can give this one out all season long!  It's great for everyone!  I'm using the Fun and Festive Stamp Set.  This one is soooooo adorable.  I love sets with cute critters, this one doesn't disappoint!  I'm also using the Throughout The Year Set for my greeting.  Both sets are in the Mini Catalog. 

stampin up, festive and fun set

My box today holds a little pack of tissues.  I got a bulk pack from Costco but I'm expecting places like the dollar store and big bulk stores to have Christmas themed packages coming soon.  Feel free to plug in a Christmas one instead!  If you don't want to do tissues, play with the measurements and slide in a candy bar or other treat.  The concept is the same.  

stampin up, festive and fun set

I used LOTS of Stampin' Blends to color my image.  Check out my supply list below.  I have them all listed below.  You could also watercolor or use colored pencils to color it in.  Get creative.  Stamp a stack and get the kids to help color them in!  Don't have all the colors I used?  No problem, use what you have, cut back on some of the colors so you don't have to use as many.  I used two different greens-cut back to one!  Make all the gifts the same color instead of three different ones.  Make the scarf and ice skates the same color as the birds.  The image is so adorable no matter how you color it!  Have fun and don't stress about it!
