Bella Bleu Set

It has been a while since I have posted anything new. It is not because I have not been working on any stamping projects, but because of work and getting home and being tired. Pretty lame excuse, I know, but the truth.

My mom had a birthday towards the end of June. I wanted to use my baskets and blooms die for the very first time, of which, I think it turned out really cute. I think it is easy to use and put together. I put some jelly belly's into a cello bag, tied it with a ribbon, and put it inside of the basket. I bought some clipboards at a local craft store that you could totally design yourself. I was really wanting to buy one of those long pads of paper to attach to it, but of course, I could not find any paper to match at the time. Lastly, I made a card that would match the basket and clipboard.

These are the items I used to create this set. Almost everything is Stampin' Up! The clipboard used is not.

Cardstock: not quite navy, kraft (crumb cake), very vanilla, and bella bleu DSP

Classic Ink: not quite navy and crumb cake

Stamp sets: itty bitty bits, tiny tags, teeny tiny wishes, and sincere salutations

Tools: big shot, baskets and blooms die, build a brads, 2 3/8" scallop circle XL, corner rounder, crop-o-dile, top note die, and the eyelet border punch

Accessories: 1/4" very vanilla grosgrain ribbon, 3/8" kraft taffeta ribbon, and bitty buttons

I hope I have inspired you to create something too. It is fun, relaxing, and a stress reliever to do this. Please leave me a comment.

Thank you for stopping and looking at my blog.

Now go-n-stamp!!

Treat Bags

I needed to make something up fairly fast for my Wednesday night class of girls at church. I just bought some candy and put it into cellophane bags that I had already bought from a local craft store quite a while back. I used retired ribbon to tie the bags shut and retired cardstock to make the tags.
The colors used were river rock, blue bayou, and soft sky. The snowflake was from the stamp set snow swirled, which is still a current set. I used the scallop circle, 1 3/8" circle, and the 1 1/4" circle punches. I know I could have added glitter to make them even nicer, but I just wanted to get them done quickly and least messy.

Now go-n-stamp!!
