Fun Christmas Gift Using the Peekaboo Treat Bags

Today I have a really cute gift for you using the Peekaboo Treat Bag.  This bag can be found on page 140 of the annual catalog.  It comes in a package of 10, 5 in white and 5 in kraft.

Peekaboo Treat Bags  Real Red and Garden Green Ribbon Combo Pack  Sweetest Christmas DSP  2021-2023 In Color Opal Rounds  Jo Anne Hewins  Luv 2 Create

I filled the bags with peppermint sticks.  I found these at the Dollar Tree.  They were just the right height.  These bags were so easy to make.  I used the Sweetest Christmas Designer Series Paper.  In fact these scraps were all I needed to help me finish up my pack of DSP.

For the window of the bag, I put a 1 1/4 inch x 4 piece of the Real Red stripe paper over the top and a 1 x 4 inch piece just under the window.  I used Multipurpose glue to hold everything in place.  Along the top I also added a 1/4 x 4 piece of the Garden Green stripe.  Another piece of the same went along the very bottom.

Tie some green ribbon from the Real Red/Garden Green Ribbon Combo Pack into a pretty bow.

The tag was cut from Thick Basic White using the Tailored Tag dies.  The saying is from the Brightest Glow stamp set.  Add some green embellishments from the 2021-2023 In Color Opal Rounds.

I decided that it might be nice to add a little more to my package although it certainly would not be needed.

This is so cute, but it does completely hide what's inside.  That means anything could go there!  The Leaves of Holly bundle with the Holly Berry dies were just what I needed.  Cut both the solid and the detailed leaves from Garden Green.  Match up the two and connect them with a glue dot at the base.  Tuck them up under the tag.  Cut both the solid and detailed berries from Real Red.  Glue the two together.  Glue them in place.

Fall Frame Using the Paper Florist Dies and Earthen Elegance Designer Series Paper

I have another frame for you today all ready to greet the fall season.  This frame uses the Paper Florist dies, Cheerful Daisies dies, and the Dainty Delight dies.  I had seen several frames online for spring by Gail Ellis.  She is an inspired creator.  Check her out if you don't know her.  I decided I wanted to make a frame for fall.

 

Paper Florist dies  fall frame  Dainty Delight dies  Cheerful Daisies dies  Close Up of Flowers  No Frame  Earthen Elegance DSP choice 2  2023-2025 In Color Jute  Jo Anne Hewins  Luv 2 Create

This was so much fun!  It is time consuming, but if you like that, you will have a ball!  It would be difficult to go through and tell you how to make all the flowers.  I just can't make a video right now.  I have my granddaughter Sagan and she takes priority.  I had a lot of shadow in my picture with the frame, so I made a picture without the frame.  You can see it much better this way.

Colors used are Lost Lagoon, Pretty Peacock, Crushed Curry, Cajun Craze with pad, Cherry Cobbler with pad, Early Espresso, Old Olive, Petal Pink with Flirty Flamingo pad, Pecan Pie, Copper Clay with pad.

Those mentioned with a pad had some blending to enhance the flowers.

The vase is cut from the Earthen Elegance Designer Series Paper.  I cut out the pattern myself.  There is a bow around the vase using the 2023-2025 In Color Jute trim.

Add the flowers with glue dots, Multipurpose Glue, dimensionals- whatever seems to work best at the time.

I have another one using a different pattern of the designer paper.

Which do you like best?  The flowers are the same in this one.  I just changed the designer paper.  The frame is 8 x 10.  It's a cheap one that I've had a long time.  Please excuse the shadows!

Thanks so much for joining me today.  Go play around with those dies.  If you don't have them, you just might want to think about that!   Let me know if I can help!

Frame Using the Night Divine Bundle and O Holy Night Designer Series Paper

This frame using the Night Divine Bundle and the O Holy Night Designer Series Paper goes together in a couple passes of the Cut & Emboss Machine.  I think you'll love it!  I found this frame in my cabinets.  There's a lot of stuff lurking in there.  It just seemed perfect for a nativity scene.

Night Divine Frame  O Holy Night DSP  Jo Anne Hewins  Luv 2 Create
The Night Divine bundle is in the upcoming September-December Mini!  It all goes live on September 6th.  You are going to love it!  

The O Holy Night DSP is perfect.  Just measure the frame and cut accordingly.  You can ususally cut the paper to fit the insert and that's a little bigger than what you can actually see from the outside.

My building is cut from Copper Clay cardstock.  I used a Blending Brush to add some more color to make the wood markings show up a little more.

The cows, donkey, and camels are cut from Peacan Pie.  All are sponged around the edges to make them show more distinct.

Night Divine Frame Close Up  O Holy Night DSP  Jo Anne Hewins  Luv 2 Create

The full nativity is cut from Basic White.  I also cut 2 more sheep and some clouds from white.  I love the little curlies on the clouds.  Sponge lightly around the white pieces with Pecan Pie.

Now just add all the pieces like a puzzle.

The star die comes from the Beautiful Balloon dies.  I cut it from the Distressed Gold Specialty DSP.

That's all there is.  I told you it was quick!  Do you see some Christmas gifts in your future?  I just might!  This would also make beautiful Christmas cards!!!

Thanks for joining me today.  I do sell Stampin' Up! supplies so let me know if I can help you.  If you need the mini catalog and you don't already have a demonstrator, please let me know.

Festive Tags Kit: 5 Tag Designs and 5, Yes 5, Cards You Can Make

Hello to you today. 

DEMO_MKTL_SQR

There's a new kit in town called the Festive Tags Kit!  I'll be talking about this kit today.  I must mention first, though, that all of the kits in Kits Collection are on sale during the whole month of August.  Kits are 10, 20, or 30% off.  You need to visit my online store here to see what is available.  Look at the Kits Collection.  These are while supplies last.  Some sold out kits may reappear if it says not currently available.

CUST_LPG1_FESTIVE_TAGS_KIT_US_0823

The Festive Tags Kit has all the supplies to make 15 Christmas tags.  You make 3 each of 5 designs.  The kit has everything that you need.  There is no stamping.  This kit is beautiful, fast, and easy peasy.  Here is an example of each tag.

Tag Kit  Kits Collection  Made As Directed

After making these tags, I decided to turn the tag making supplies into cards.  I have a video to show you 5 cards made from this kit with a few additional Stampin' Up! supplies.  Here goes.

 

I love these cards and they can easily be changed to go with supplies that you might already have at home.  Of course, ordering is good too!

Tag Kit  Kits Collection  Brights 6 x 6 DSP  Gold Foil  Sparkle Snowflakes  Jo Anne Hewins  Luv 2 Create

This card is on a Coastal Cabana  base 5 1/2 x 8 1/2.  There is a strip of Coastal Cabana stripe cut from the Brights 6 x 6 Designer Series Paper.  The size is 2 x 4 1/4.  Add a 1/4 inch strip of Gold Foil butted up against the designer paper.  I punched a hole in the ornament with a 1/8 inch circle punch (retired).  The gold ribbon is from the Gold & Silver Trim Combo Pack from the Online Exclusives.  I used a brand new stamp set coming up in the mini called Sparling Snowflakes.  Stamp in Coastal Cabana.

Tag Kit  Kits Collection  Zany Zoo dies  Jo Anne Hewins  Luv 2 Create

This card has a base of Thick Basic White same as above.  Cut the larger trees from the Zany Zoo dies.  I used 7.  Watch the video to see about spacing.  In the sample above, I used the Tailor Made Tags.  In the sample I made on the video I used a left over tag for this.  Which do you like best?  The ribbon is Garden Green and can be found in the annual catalog called Real Red & Garden Green Ribbon Combo Pack.

Tag Kit  Kits Collection  Black and White Gingham Ribbon  Jo Anne Hewins  Luv 2 Create

I used the Sparkling Snowflakes stamp set with this card.  Colors of the snowflakes are Lost Lagoon, Fresh Freesia, and Pool Party.  Pull in the Black & White Gingham Ribbon.

Tag Kit  Snowflake EF  Red and Green Ribbon combo  JO Anne Hewins  Luv 2 Create

This card is on a base of Lost Lagoon.  I used a new embossing folder called Snowflake Sky 3D.  This time I used the Real Red ribbon from the annual catalog Real Red & Garden Green Ribbon Combo Pack.  I moved the wreath to the red tag background.

Tag Kit  Kits Collection  Simply Elegant Trim  Jo Anne Hewins

I think this is my favorite.  I changed the flower to the pink tag background.  I think that's Flirty Flamingo.  I added silver trim.  This is from the annual catalog and is called Simply Elegant Trim.  On the sample in the video I did not put the trim around the card, but still behind the flowers.  I used another new stamp set here called Magical Meadow.  I thought the stems went along with that set.  They are stamped in Lost Lagoon and Garden Green.

So there you have it.

Tag Kit  Kits Collection  Cards from Kit Components

Here are all of the cards.  So you could just make tags and have 15 total.  You could just make cards and have 15 total.  You can mix and match.  I hope you'll go take a look at the Festive Tags kit.  You can't beat the price!

NC Blog Hop for July It's FAUX-tastic!

Welcome to the NC Blog Hop for July.  Today we are looking for techniques that just might not be exactly as they appear to be.  Our theme is It's FAUX-tastic!

I'm so glad you are here!  You might have come from Tina Lesson's blog.  I'm sure you loved her project for today.  If you are starting here, please make sure that you visit everyone on the hop.  You'll be so glad that you took the time.

I have 2 faux things about my project.  The fold is a faux step card.  It's so much easier than the old step card with lots less cutting.  I also have a faux metal focus piece for the card.

Earthen Elegance DSP  Faux Mettle Technique  Faux Step Card Fun Fold  Tailor Made Tags  Copper Embossing  2023-2025 In Color Jute Trim  2023-2025 In Color Dots  Jo Anne Hewins  Luv 2 Create

I have a video for you today, so I'm not going to go into too much detail.  I'm using the Earthen Elegance Designer Series Paper for the card.  There's also copper embossing.

The base of the card is Copper Clay measuring 5 1/2 x 8.  This is a little different than usual.  Score this at 1, 2, and 4.  You'll also need another piece of Copper Clay that is 3 x 8, score at 4.

Measurements of the Earthen Elegance Designer Series Paper are 3 x 4 for the front of the card. (3 x 8 and folded piece), 1 x 5 1/2 for the front panel at the bottom, and 1 1/2 x 3 for the side panel.  You need 2 that look the same.

For the inside of the card, Basic White 2 7/8 x 5 3/8.

Faux Copper piece is 2 1/4 x 3.  I used the thicker backing for a pack of designer paper.  The Pretty Peacock frame for this piece is 2 1/2 x 3 1/4.

Here's the video with little tips and directions.

 

I hope you found the video helpful.  Here are a few more pictures.

Thanks so much for visiting me today.  The faux metal technique is lots of fun.  You might experiment.  You might could use less layers.

Luv 2 Stamp Blog Hop July 2023

No photo description available.

Welcome to the Luv 2 Stamp Group’s 2023 Blog Hop! We are excited to share projects with you again for the third year. This year we are shaking things up and bringing you all new monthly themes to inspire your next project!
Once you are done with each post, scroll down to the bottom and you will see a list of Blog Hop participants, you can click on their name to go to their post, or you can click the next button to go to the next post in line. Happy crafting!
This month’s theme is ribbon!!!
 
I'm so glad that you have joined me today.  My name is Jo Anne Hewins.  I'm from NC.  I've been part of the Luv 2 Stamp group for around 12 1/2 years.  I'm going to be bringing a little bit of Christmas in July for my project.  I made this Christmas bag for a Luv 2 Stamp group activity back in May.  I love how it turned out and, quite frankly,  I just don't think I can wait much longer to share it with everyone else!  It uses the Lemon Lime Twist ribbon from the Duo Ribbon Pack, a part of the Zoo Crew Suite Collection pictured on pages 46-47 of the annual catalog.
 
Brights 6 x 6 DSP Paper Stack  Zoo Crew DSP  Duo Ribbon Combo Pack  Zany Zoo bundle  Zany Zoo dies  Basic Rhinestones  Fussy Cut  Christmas Bag with Reindeer  Jo Anne Hewins  Luv 2 Create
This bag style can be found on Pinterest.  It's made from two 6 x 6 pieces of designer paper.  I chose to use the Dotted Granny Apple Green from the Brights 6 x 6 Designer Series Paper stack.  Begin with 2 matching sheets of this paper.  This paper has no directionality so it won't matter how you begin to score.  Place your paper along the top of the Simply Scored and score at 3/4.  Turn your paper and score the other 3 sides at 1 1/2.  Do this for both of your papers.

This picture is from an older post and shows how your papers should be folded and trimmed.  Fold down the 3/4 inch side.  One piece has the bottom two corners removed.  The other has simply trimmed on the score lines.
Add a piece of cardboard from a pack of designer paper cut 1 3/8 x 2 7/8 to the bottom of the piece that has the missing corners.
For a more detailed reference my post from January 15th here.  You might also access my video from that post that shows how to make the bag here.  I don't think I need to reinvent the wheel.  Thanks for your understanding!  The post and video are actually from an earlier Luv 2 Stamp Blog Hop in January.
 
Brights 6 x 6 DSP Paper Stack  Zoo Crew DSP  Duo Ribbon Combo Pack  Zany Zoo bundle  Zany Zoo dies  Basic Rhinestones  Fussy Cut  Close Up of Bag  Jo Anne Hewins  Luv 2 Create
 
For the front of the bag, use the Zoo Crew 12 x 12 Designer Series Paper.  For the deer, color the flower with a Light Real Red blend for the petals and a Dark Daffodil Delight blend for the center. The antlers are colored with the Light Crumb Cake blend.  Cut the deer out with your Paper Snips.  She's going to need a Christmas necklace so color some of the Basic Rhinestones with a Dark Cherry Cobbler Blend.  Add her toward the top of the bag with dimensionals.  You might need to trim them for the legs.
The saying is from the Ringed with Nature stamp set.  Stamp in Real Red on a Basic White scrap and trim the words closely.  Add the words with dimensionals as well.
The tree dies are part of the Zany Zoo dies.  Cut 3 large trees in Garden Green and 2 small ones in Lemon Lime.  Glue these to the bag.  Color more Basic Rhinestones for the tree tops.
I think the bag front will adapt nicely to a card front.  These would make some super cute Christmas cards!  So I have one for you!
 
Brights 6 x 6 DSP Paper Stack  Zoo Crew DSP  Duo Ribbon Combo Pack  Zany Zoo bundle  Zany Zoo dies  Basic Rhinestones  Fussy Cut  Christmas Card with Reindeer  Jo Anne Hewins  Luv 2 Create
This card is very close to the card.  I used a piece of the same Brights 6 x 6 designr paper cut to 1 3/4 x 5 1/2.  I added a 1/2 x 5 1/2 inch strip of Zany Zoo Designer Series Paper sticking out of the top.  Tie around the Lemon Lime Twist ribbon and into a knot.  The saying is from the Brightest Glow stamp set.  Stamp on Basic White scrap in Real Red ink.  Fussy cut around it and add with dimensionals.
Cut 5 small Lemon Lime trees and 6 of the larger Garden Green trees.  Add these across the card just above the designer paper and add a couple trees to the lower right.
Cut out the reindeer and add to the card with mini dimensionals.
Color the Basic Rhinestone Jewels with a Dark Cherry Cobbler Blend.  Let them dry.  Add to the tree tops.
So here is a picture of the gift bag and card together.
 
Brights 6 x 6 DSP Paper Stack  Zoo Crew DSP Card  Duo Ribbon Combo Pack  Zany Zoo bundle  Zany Zoo dies  Basic Rhinestones  Fussy Cut  Christmas Card and Gift Bag with Reindeer  Jo Anne Hewins  Luv 2 Create
I think they are so cute together!
Thanks so much for joining me today.  I hope this little bit of Christmas has inspired you!  I hope you'll continue on our hop today featuring Stampin' Up!'s beautiful ribbon.  You'll be glad you did!
