Punches and Dies in Red, White, Blue, and Green

Good morning.  My first thought was that I wanted to make a card to celebrate July the 4th, but I would just use red, white, and blue.  Of course my mind went to flowers.  You must have green with flowers, right.  So I love my card, but it doesn't cry out July the 4th.  It's the thought that counts, I hope. Here is my card.

Start with a base of Starry Sky that is 4 1/4 x 11.  Score and fold at 5 1/2.  Run another piece of Starry Sky through the Cut & Emboss Machine with the Hive 3D Embossing Buddy.  This paper measures 4 x 5 1/4.  Glue down to the base.

Most of my images are punched or cut from the 2022-2024 In Color 6 x 6 Designer Series Paper Stack.

The bottle is punched from Orchid Oasis  using the Vintage Bottle Punch.  Add with dimensionals.

The leaves are punched from Parakeet Party using the Bough Punch.  Parts of them are added with mini dimensionals and parts are glued down.

The flower blossoms are cut using the Cut & Emboss Machine using the Hippo dies.  These dies are part of the free Sale-a-Bration items that can be earned with purchase.  The flowers were added with glue.  You could use glue dots.

Embellish with the Heart Pearls.

The sentiment is stamped using the Cottage Rose stamp set.  Stamp on a white scrap in Starry Sky ink.  Cut using the Stylish Shapes dies.  Run some of the White Seam Binding around the card and adhere to the bottle so that the tag will cover the ends.  Add the tag with a mini dimensional on those end corners.  Tie a bow with the seam binding and put in place with a rolled up glue dot.

For the inside, the words are again from Cottage Rose.  I used some left overs to add just a little stem and flower.  I think that looks cute.

I hope you have a wonderful 4th of July week.  Maybe you'll have some time to stamp!  Our granddaughters are coming to spend 4 days with us this week!  Can't wait!

Peekaboo Treat Bags with the A Fish and A Wish Bundle

Today is the day that our July-December Mini catalog goes live.  We also begin Sale-a-Bration.  I think you should be able to click on the picture and get the download of the catalogs.  I do have catalogs to send or share if you don't already have a demonstrator.

 

Hello to you today.  The Peekaboo Treat Bags are in the Stampin' Up! annual catalog on page 140.  You get 5 white bags and 5 craft bags in the package.  It's a great buy at $6 for the package of 10 bags US.  I had a post earlier this week using these bags and today I want to share another example.  Both use the A Fish and a Wish Bundle with the Fish Builder Punch.  I'll share the link for the earlier one here.  Here is a picture of today's project.

For this project, Stamp the plants in Pear Pizzazz using the A Fish and a Wish stamp set.  I used some of the Masking Paper to cover the top of the window before stamping the plants up top.  Now stamp the waves or water stamp.  I stamped off using Pool Party ink.  From the picture I see the waves do not show up very well.  You might want to stamp full force.

Stamp the fish, 2 large and 1 small on a strip of Basic White 1 inch wide.  I used Sweet Sorbet.  They match the Swedish Fish perfectly!  Punch out.  I like that the stamped image can be turned to face either way and still look right.  Add the fish with dimensionals.

In my earlier post I talked about shortening the tag from the Tailor Made Tags dies.  I'll add a picture here to show that I cut the first tag.  Place the die on the tag a little bit down.  You'll feel the stitching kind of lock in place.  Cut again.

Stamp the plant and the waves on the tag.  Add the little fish with dimensionals.  Add the tag to the bag using a couple dimensionals near the top.

Tie the Pool Party Sheer Ribbon around the bag and tie into a bow just above the hole in the tag.  Secure with a glue dot.

Here's a picture of the two different projects I completed with the Peekaboo Treat Bags.

Thanks so much for spending some time with me today.  I am an independent Stampin' Up! demonstrator and I would love to earn your business if you don't already have a demonstrator.  I do send a group of tutorials out each month to customers who purchase $50 from me.  Usually there are around 25 made up from different demonstrators.

3D Thursday Lemon Up Some Peekaboo Treat Bags!

Welcome to 3D Thursday!  Today I have the cutest Peekaboo Treat Bag decorated with lemony goodness.

This bag is called the Peekaboo Treat Bag.  It comes in a pack of 10 bags.  You get 5 in white and 5 in craft.  They are food safe and even have a zip lock closure.  The best thing is that you get 10 bags for only $6!  So here is the bag I made for you today.

These lemons are made using the Fish Builder Punch!  They are so easy and cute!  We'll be using the A Fish & A Wish stamp set along with the punch. Together they make the A Fish & A Wish Bundle with a 10% savings.

To make the lemons, punch the smaller and fatter fish from a 1 inch strip of Daffodil Delight card stock.  You'll need 7 of them.  Now, with your Paper Snips trim off the tail.  Trim up and around and try to match your cut to the other end of your lemon.  Sponge around the lemons with the Daffodil pad and a Sponge Dauber.  Now use the larger fish on the punch.  Punch 7 of the tails of the fish from Granny Apple Green.  You don't need the whole fish, just the tails.  Add your leaves to the lemon with glue dots.

Use the Tail Made Tags dies to make your tag.  Cut it from Thick Basic White card stock.  To make the tag shorter simple place the did on top of the tag you just cutting and lowering the top.  You can feel where the stitching on the tag kind of locks in place.  Cut again to get your shorter tag.  I used the second largest tag.

For the saying, you will need to cover the Here so you just have the for you.  I covered the word with tape, inked the stamp, and then took off the tape before stamping near the bottom of the tag.  

Add all lemons with dimensionals.

Add the tag with dimensionals.  Then wrap about 13 inches of the Black & White Gingham Ribbon around the package.  Tie a bow and secure it with a glue dot over the hole in the tag.

Fill the bag with 9 lemon drops.  Give your creation to a friend.

Let me say that I was inspired by our annual catalog to make the lemons using the Fish Builder Punch!  If you would like the download PDF, Download Lemon Up a Peekaboo Treat Bag.  I'll have another version for a treat using these bags in a few days.  Please check back with me!

Our 3D Thursday group will return in September.  We are losing Debbie Henderson and I will not be returning.  It's been so much fun, but I'm just simplifying my life a little.  Keep on visiting 3D Thursday in September for more fantastic 3D ideas!

Embossed Treat Bags and Leaves of Holly Bundle

The Embossed Treat Bags are in the 2022-2023 Annual Stampin' Up! catalog on page 140. These bags are strong and sturdy.  They are a good size.  Measurements are 4 3/4 x 6 1/2 x 1 1/2.    You get 10 bags for $7.50.  I recently had a Luv 2 Create Team Meeting and we used these bags for one of our projects.  Here is what we made.

We used the Leaves of Holly Bundle to decorate the bag.  You can find this bundle on pages 24-25 in the July-December SU Mini Catalog for 2022.  As well as the stamp set, we used the Holly Berry dies.  The secret to putting all of the pieces together is our Adhesive Sheets!

For the bag I used Real Red, Cherry Cobbler, Old Olive, Mossy Meadow, and Basic White card stock.

For the leaves use Pear Pizzazz for the outline base of the leaves.  For the detailed part use Mossy Meadow.  Put adhesive sheets on one side of the card stock before cutting.  Then simply peal the adhesive from the back to add the detailed piece to the outline piece.

The tag has two leaves that are detailed and cut out as part of the tag.  I used adhesive sheets on the back of the entire tag.  There is a die to cut out from Old Olive to put behind the detailed leaves.

The basic berries are cut from Real Red.  Cut out the detailed berries from Cherry Cobbler.  Don't forget to add the adhesive sheets to the back of the Cobbler paper.  Add the berries with dimensionals.  

Stamp the saying on Basic White using Mossy Meadow ink.  Cut the tag with the same dies.  Add with dimensionals as well.  

Finish the design with some of the red ribbon from the Real Red & Garden Green Ribbon Combo Pack found on page 9 of the mini catalog.  This is very nice ribbon and ties into a beautiful bow.

There is a lot of die cutting for this project but once that is done, the rest goes together easily by using the Adhesive Sheets.

I wanted my team to see how beautiful these bags are.  They are sure to come in handy for Christmas or for any giving.  They would be great for treat bags at a birthday party.  You can even color these bags with out blending brushes or by spritzing them using our refills.  I'm so glad I have a few left over to have on hand.

Thanks for joining me today.  My next few posts will share more of the projects we made at my Luv 2 Create Team meeting.  Remember that the July-December Mini Catalog goes live on Friday, July 1st.  Need a catalog.  I'm happy to send one to customers and future customers if you don't already have a demonstrator.
