Butterfly Berry Basket

Hello, everyone! Thank you for stopping by. Today, I am sharing with you a basket that is made using the Berry Basket Bigz L Die from the Occasions Catalog. I believe, there are a lot of things you can use this die for gifts, shower favors, to name a few. I don't know why, but I really like 3-D projects. Maybe, because they are more exciting than just a card. I know, it isn't just a card when you make them yourself. I too love giving cards and making them special for whoever it is I am making them for. I just still tend to like the 3-D stuff more.

This is a list of Stampin' Up! supplies needed to create this.
Cardstock: Crisp Cantaloupe, Calypso Coral, and Best Year Ever DSP
Tools: Big Shot, Berry Basket Bigz L Die, Butterflies Thinlits Dies, and the Bigz Beautiful Butterly (retired)
Accessories: Artisan Embellishment Kit

I still have not totally decided what I want to put into this little basket. I am planning on giving it away as a gift, though. Please, leave a comment if you would like. If not, thank you for stopping by, anyhow. I hope you have been inspired to create a basket yourself!

Now go-n-stamp!!

Curvy Keepsake Box Turkeys

Hello everyone! I hope you had an awesome Thanksgiving! I really had a nice time with my family. I just love being able to spend time with them.
 As I promised in my last post. Here are the turkeys I made for my 3 grandsons. They maybe did not enjoy them as much as I enjoyed making them for them, but that is the fun in being able to give something that you have made yourself. Yes, that gives me a lot of joy!!

When making these I was inspired by another lady that made and shared hers on Pinterest. If you would like to see her turkey you can click here. It is not the top one that you see first that inspired me, but the one that is  next. It was so elegant and more the look that I wanted to create myself.
As I have shared before, I don't like to case what someone else creates. Due to that reason, mine is similar in some ways, and yet different. I decided to share two of the turkeys up close and then one that has the three of them altogether. Each one is just a little bit different than the other ones, but still very much the same.

Stampin' Up! items used to create these little guys:

Cardstock: Always Artichoke, Cajun Craze, Cherry Cobbler, Crushed Curry, Soft Suede, and Whisper White
Tools: Big Shot, Curvy Keepsake Box Thinlits Die, Feathers Framelits Dies, Woodgrain Embossing Folder, 1 3/8" Circle Punch, Owl Builder Punch (eyes), and Petite Pennants Builder (beak)
Accessories: Neutrals Candy Dots, Autumn Wooden Elements, clothespin (not SU!), and leaves (not SU!)

Thank you, once again, for visiting my blog. This is something I enjoy doing and is my outlet. I hope you like what you see and go away inspired to try and create something yourself. There is so much joy in creating something yourself and then giving it away!!

Maritime Curvy Keepsake Box

When I seen the new Curvy Keepsake Box in the Stampin' Up! Holiday Catalog, I knew it was something I wanted to order. I tend to like to purchase the box makers because they are great for little gifts and favors for weddings, showers, and birthdays. You just never know what you will one day be asked to make for someone or you may need it for something personal, for instance, your own daughter is having a shower

This little box is very easy to make. The one you see I created has no stamping in it at all. The images I used are from the Maritime Designer Series Paper. I just cut the whale out using Paper Snips. The tags come with the Curvy Keepsake Box Thinlits Dies. I just used sections of the Maritime DSP for those and then used cardstock to compliment each one.

Stampin' Up! supplies:
Cardstock: Coastal Cabana, Real Red, and Night of Navy
Tools: Paper Snipe, Big Shot, and Curvy Keepsake Box Thinlits Dies
Accessory: Baked Brown Sugar Thick Baker's Twine

I think this would be really cute to use as favors for a little boys birthday party. Thank you for checking out my blog. Please, be inspired to create one yourself.

Spiral Flower Fry Box Favor

I had a hard time trying to decide if I wanted to purchase the Hamburger Box or the Fry Box. You can tell which one won out. Not only did I want to try out the Fry Box Bigz Die, but I also wanted to try out the Spiral Flower Originals Die, too. I thought it would make a very nice little favor to give away to someone special. The person that is going to get this is one of my customers.

Stampin' Up! supplies needed to recreate one of these.
Cardstock: Basic Black and Typeset Specialty DSP
Tools: Big Shot, Fry Box Bigz L Die, Spiral Flower Originals Die, and Flower Frenzy Bigz L Die
Accessories:Very Vanilla 1/2" Seam Binding Ribbon and Cellophane Bag (retired), treat of your choice

These would be great to use as a wedding favor! Tell me what you think. Please, leave a comment.
