Come join the parties!

Weekend fun! We are celebrating several birthdays and other events coming up as Tombo and I will be headed to the UK soon. Phew! But sometimes you need more than a card. We are not only celebrating birthdays, we have the end of the school year parties and celebrations like graduations and of course a couple weddings thrown in there also! I find myself looking for quick projects to add that special touch to these events. I recently did a whole birthday themed workshop where we made a card, treat holder and gift bag. I shared the card Thursday, today I want to share the treat holder and bag. While we did these for with a birthday theme- I'm thinking of redoing with a different Designer Series paper for Mother's day luncheon and teacher appreciation week at my grandkids schools. I'm a believer in the KISS principle. Keep It Simple Sister.

This card is a make and take we did last year before the 2017-2018 annual catalog debuted with the cute Birthday Memories DSP! I love the nostalgic feeling of this paper. I used a different piece to wrap around the candy holder. I saw a wrapper like this on Pinterest and just tried to figure it out. The base is 2 x 11, scored at 1 1/4, 3 3/4, and 4 1/4. I punched both ends with the scalloped tag punch, turned the smallest scored piece forward and the other turn score lines away from me. The band is 2 x 6 scored at 1 1/2, 2, 4, 4 1/2,. I wrapped it around the base and adhered on the back with Snail adhesive. The circles on the front are punched with the 1 1/2 and 1 3/8 circle punches. I stamped the saying from

More than Chocolate (143689) and a small piece of candy in Early Espresso and Chocolate Chip. The nuggets are covered with 1 x 3 strips of paper an placed in a 2" x 8" cello bag.(141703). This bag is tired with the 1/4" Stitched-Edge Ribbon( 144199) in Pacific Point. I love the Balloon Honeycomb Embellishment (144124) for just a little extra. I recreated the same treat wrapper with the Cake Soiree DSP and Berry Burst cardstock. On this one, I used the 3/8" Powder Pink Shimmer Ribbon (144151) and the cute little bow from the Mini Gift Bows pack (144127). This one looks like a great shower table favor or something for a Mother's day tea, very elegant.The Whisper White piece in the back can be stamped with a message or can be a place to write or sign your name. I just love making these. So cute and easy!

Birthday Swap

Good day Stampers and Crafters,
It's a beautiful day in Dixie! Finally, some cool mornings. Mind you the kiddos left for school still in shorts this morning, but it wasn't 80 something at 8:00! I want to share with you a card I received in the mail this week. It's from a fellow stamper; we are both members of a Facebook group Stampin Friends. I signed up to be part of a birthday swap group. Each month we send a birthday card to another member of the group who has a birthday that month. THIS is my month! I will send my card, but I will receive a bunch of cards! I am super excited. Joyce Hunt's was the first Stampin Friends card I received. She used the Festive Birthday stamp set and Framelits. Isn't this the cutest llama?

Well, this is a great start to my birthday month. I am watching very day for the postman to deliver the mail! Thanks for stopping by today I hope you have a great stamping day. Be Blessed and be a blessing to someone else today!

I was so excited to be invited to this months blog hop. I LOVE black and white! It's about all you'll find in my closet with a little red thrown in there! It's hard being an Auburn Tiger when your wardrobe yells "Roll Tide!"

This is a big birthday month for our family. So, I am doing cards and lots of birthday stuff like cupcake picks, goodie bags and gift tags. This weekend is Cooperman's party! You can see his card in my last post and then a good friend of ours Jimmy Gibson will be 75 on Saturday! Jimmy is amazing,he and his wife Debbie are both blind. so several of today's projects are for Jimmy's birthday lunch this weekend. For his card I used the the Stamp set Boys will be Boys and added the balloon framelits and the 75 from the Large Numbers framelit dies.

I mentioned we had a lot of birthday's this month. Our oldest grandson will be 9 later this month so I made his card using the same set. I used the more current toy choices for Stephens birthday card. His biological father was killed in the Middle east before Stephen was born. I know he'll love the little solider and what 9 yr.old boy doesn't love LEGO"S.

For my other projects, I made cupcake picks using the Stamp set Party Wishes and the coordinating balloon and cupcake punch.

These are easy to make and I love how they dress up a plain cupcake.The goodie bag is made with the Treat bag framelit and the No bones about it stamp set.I even stamped the tissue paper with the dino skeleton. I was planning on using these for both birthdays. All boys love dinosaurs and Jimmy is as old as one! My final project is a bottle tag. I love to add these to a bottle of something sparkling for a birthday celebration. I hope you enjoyed these ideas for adding creative stamped projects to your birthday party or just for a thoughtful gift. We love birthdays! They are special at our house. It's your day to shine - I believe you can make someone feel really special with a hand-stamped card or treat. Thank you for stopping by today. Please continue on our hop.
