Christmas S'mores DIY Treat Kit
Hello! I hope you're enjoying your Thanksgiving weekend! Today I wanted to share an idea for a little treat you can make up for friends, neighbors, teachers, co-workers, etc. I got this idea from my friend Mayra, who made something like this for halloween. I put a mounds bar in because I was out of plain Hershey's chocolate bars, but I would recommend putting in a plain Hershey's bar instead.
I used stamps from an old Stampin' Up! set from a while back, because I just love these little ones, but you could use whatever stamps you have on hand. I die cut the bag topper from the Season of Style Designer Series Paper by Stampin' Up! with my Deco Labels Framelits. The punches I used were the Curly Label Punch, a 1 1/4'' circle, and a 1 3/8'' circle punch.

Christmas Tagables Photopolymer Stamp Set
Hello! I hope you all had a wonderful Thanksgiving and enjoyed spending time with family, if you were able to be with them. I always love Thanksgiving and holidays in general for that reason. I love being with my family! I celebrate it at home, warm and cozy, rather than out waiting in lines or fighting crowds to buy early christmas gifts. The holidays are just more fun spent at home, warm and surrounded by family!
On that note, I'm so excited for another photopolymer stamp set from Stampin' Up! Take a look at what they've come up with for Christmas this year. I definitely want this kit, and I'm sure you will too! I love Christmas and am excited for it, but don't worry, I still love and celebrate Halloween and Thanksgiving too!
I don't know about you, but I'll be adding this to my next order! :)

We added pockets to the front and back cover, so that if you pull a piece out and decide not to use it, you will have somewhere to store it.
We added perforation lines between some of the shapes and extended the design to the whole page so that if you are feeling creative, you can use the negative space as well as the tags themselves.
Finally, we decided that a book full of tags needed a stamp set to go with it, so there's a stamp set designed specifically to coordinate with the punch book.

Thanksgiving Place Settings
Hello! Happy Thanksgiving to all of you reading my blog today. Thank you for dropping by. I hope you have a wonderful day with family and something to fill your belly tonight. Here are the place settings I made to share with my in laws for dinner at my sister-in-law's house. She told me that she didn't need name cards, so I altered the place settings I made for dinner at my parent's house, and decided to forgo the name banner, and just use a single leaf across the belly band for these ones. I like the simplicity of these place settings. They were easy enough to put together while watching a show with my husband, thanks to the Thankful Tablescape Simply Created kit by Stampin' Up! The kit came with all the items I needed to make these little guys, and I'm grateful for simple in my life! The kit is only $19.95, and you get enough supplies to make ten of these (with little chalkboard banner pieces to write names on), a chalk marker, lots of twine, die cut leaves, more chalk board labels, and lots of paper strips for decorating candles, making a table runner, or whatever you want to do with the paper. It's a great kit, and even though today is Thanksgiving, the kit is still available until January 1st, if you decide you want it for next year, or if you want to use the supplies to scrapbook with or make other kinds of crafts. I highly recommend this kit. I even want to buy one more, so that I can do some scrapbooking and card making with everything.
Lastly, I wanted to share a simple card I made to go with an order I delivered last week. I just needed a small card to jot a quick note, and using my fall supplies from the Thankful Tablescape Simply Created kit and the Autumn Leaves Bigz Die from Stampin' Up!, I made this card in a super quick minute.
All of these items can be purchase in my online store, here. Thank you for stopping by today, and I hope you have a safe and happy holiday! See you tomorrow!

More Thanksgiving Decor Ideas
Hello! With Thanksgiving being tomorrow, I wanted to share the last few items I've been making this week. I volunteered to help 'decorate' the dinner table at my sister-in-law's house, and I will show you part of that today. The other part, you'll have to come back tomorrow to see! :) I've had a lot of fun with the Autumn Accents Bigz Die from Stampin' Up! It works with a Sizzix die cut machine or a cuttlebug, which ever you have. I've cut out so many different kinds of leaves. I even cut some leaves out of felt for my son to play with and make pictures with. Today I decided it would be fun to cut out a ton of leaves in many different colors and then sew them together as a garland, since that seems to be very trending right now. I just put all the leaves in a pile, mixing together the colors and shapes, and then as I sewed one, I just pulled another random leaf from the pile to sew next, and here's how the garland turned out. (These pictures aren't the greatest, but the sun hadn't come out yet, so it's crummy indoor light. And I wasn't able to get a great picture of the entire garland from one end to the other, but it actually spans the length of my couch.)
I used various colored card stocks and some with texture, and I love the leaves! I used them again when I made this "Give Thanks" banner. I love banners, so this was a 'duh' idea. I really love the look of the champagne glimmer letters up against the many colored leaves. As I was putting the banner together, I thought about making rosettes to go under the leaves, but that will have to be a project for after Thanksgiving!
I know this last picture isn't the greatest, but maybe I'll get a new camera for Christmas! Crossing my fingers! Anyway, thanks for stopping by today, and don't forget to come back tomorrow for one last Thanksgiving project! I am excited to share it with you! See you tomorrow!

Very Merry Chapstick Holder
Hello! Today I want to share a project I made for my class last week at my home. I love chapstick and use it a million times a day, so I thought up an easy little holder to put a chapstick in that would make a great little gift for a neighbor, co worker, teacher, or friend. I used the circles framelits to cut the circle and scallop circle cut out of Old Olive card stock and Season of Style Designer Series Paper. I layered the two pieces of paper on top of each other with sticky strip, added some chapstick held down with sticky strip, then punched a hole with a single hole punch, tied it closed with some Cherry Cobbler Seam Binding Ribbon, and then stamped a greeting on Whisper White card stock in Crumb Cake ink, punched it out with a 1 1/4'' circle punch, punched another circle out in Cherry Cobbler with a 1 3/8'' circle punch, and mounted the two on a scallop circle punch in Baked Brown Sugar. I added a little rhinestone jewel for an extra something, and that was it! It truly was easy! This makes a great little gift for someone. Chapstick can be pretty inexpensive when you buy it in a 3 or 4 pack like I did, so these are great gifts for any small-large group you may need a little treat for.
Thanks for stopping by today. Don't forget to check back tomorrow, and use hostess code UEEJ6PPB when you place an online order through my store. You can view all the items on sale through December 2 in my store as well. See you tomorrow!

Be Merry Christmas Card
Hello! Sorry I've been absent for a few days, but I've been very busy! I wanted to share just one of the cards that I made while I was away. I have lots more to share with you over the next few weeks. I'm really excited about all of the things I've made since my last post on Thursday. (And I have TONS of cute stuff to share. The only thing keeping me from showing it all right now is time. So you'll just have to check back everyday to see it all! :) ) Here's a card I made at a meeting this weekend hosted by my friend and upline Mayra. Thanks for the beautiful card Mayra! This card uses the single stamp "Be Merry", which happens to be on sale right now during Stampin' Up!'s annual holiday sale. I've posted all the details about that sale below, so scroll down to see what's on sale. You won't want to miss out, I guarantee it!
We embossed the stamp on Cherry Cobbler card stock using the versa mark stamp pad, white embossing powder, and the heat tool from Stampin' Up! I think it looks even better than stamping it in Cherry Cobbler on Whisper White card stock. The best part about the stamp is that it's a tag, making it very versatile. You can't tell it's a tag on this card, because we covered the To: From: part with a small strip of the Season of Style Designer Series Paper. Clever! Then we mounted it on top of another piece of dsp from the Season of Style pack and a strip of the burlap ribbon and a small piece of scallop border punched out in gum ball green. Cute! I love that the stamp can be used for cards and tags! It's on my list for my next order, that's for sure!!!!
Now, here's the info on the Holiday sale:
I'm excited for all the great deals this year. Lots of great stuff! Order through December 2nd to get the discounts, and when you shop with me, use hostess code UEEJ6PPB. Click here to shop in my online store.
