I love M&M's, and this treat holder is perfect for those mini-M&M's. I found the food grade tubes at Amazon. I used the Cute Halloween 6"x6" DSP  for the decorating of this box. Using many of the various sheets to create this colorful treat that anyone would be happy to receive. 

I have a tutorial created from previous paper that gives all the supplies and measurements in both Imperial and Metric. Please ask for it in the comments below. I will include the basic cut directions here.

Luv 2 Stamp Blog Hop Birthday Blackberry Beauty Criss-Cross Card

 Welcome to the Luv 2 Stamp Group’s 2021 Blog Hop! We are excited to share projects with you this year. We hope to inspire you to create beautiful new projects. Each month we will have a different theme based on the next month’s celebrations using Stampin’ Up! products. When you have completed each post, be sure to scroll down to the bottom and you will see the list of Blog Hop Participants. You may either click on their name to go to their post or click the NEXT button.  Happy Crafting, and I hope you enjoy this month’s theme: Birthdays!

My order of Blackberry Beauty finally came last night. I could now begin creating with this lovely suite of products. I can see these products being used to make all kinds of cards, not just birthday cards. 

I decided to try a card that I have never tried before. I made a vertical and horizontal Criss-Cross Fold Over card and decorated envelopes. I took inspiration from Rachel Tessman.

Looking at these gorgeous papers I saw the owls right away. I couldn't help but think about the owl in Harry Potter! This owl is bringing birthday wishes for one lucky person!

I used the same paper but I just folded them slightly different, decorating with the Blackberry Ephemera pack. This awesome package contains ready-to-use pieces that match perfectly with this DSP. I changed up the labels, adding  brushed metallic DSP  to one, the new Brushed Metallic Adhesive Dots on two, and the lovely Gold Shimmer Ribbon on the other. The Basic White piece is an insert where I stamped Happy Birthday on the top of the cardstock with Blackberry Bliss Ink using the birthday stamp from Sweet as a Peach Polymer Stamp Set. 

Check out the video from Rachel Tessman for step-by-step directions:

Luv 2 Stamp Blog Hop Christmas Wise Men Shaker Card

Welcome to the Luv 2 Stamp Group’s 2021 Blog Hop! We are excited to share projects with you this year. We hope to inspire you to create beautiful new projects. Each month we will have a different theme based on the next month’s celebrations using Stampin’ Up! products.

When you have completed each post, be sure to scroll down to the bottom and you will see the list of Blog Hop Participants. You may either click on their name to go to their post or click the NEXT button.  Happy Crafting, and I hope you enjoy this month’s theme:Christmas.

 

My favorite stamp set in all of the July-December  Mini Catalog is the Wise Men Bundle, so I knew I wanted to try this for my creation this month. I am pairing this with my other top choices, Peaceful Place, Silver Foil Specialty Paper, the Merry Melody 3-D Embossing Folder, and Subtle Shimmer Sequins to make this a shaker card.

Since the intricate die for the Wise Men is very detailed and more square than rectangular in shape. I changed the size from an A-2 card to 5-1/2" x 5-1/2". It should fit in a 6" x 6" envelope. Here are the measurements for this card if you would like to try!

Basic Gray  Card Base                 5-1/2" x 5-1/2"

Silver Foil Specialty Pack            5-1/4" x 5-1/4" (Emboss with Merry Melody Embossing Folder)

Peaceful Place DSP                       4-1/4" x 4-1/2" (Cut out with the Moroccan influenced die)

Basic White                                   (Die cut the 3 wise men.  Color with Stampin' Blends of your choice.)

Basic Gray                                     5-1/4" x 5-1/4" (Inside piece)

In order to make the shaker card, I used 2 plastic sheets cut smaller than the Peaceful Place DSP. Attach one and use the adhesive foam to create your well. Add the Subtle Shimmer Sequins to the "well." Adhere the second plastic sheet. Add this piece to the layered base, as shown. Place the die cut wise men and position with Dimensionals. Create  a sentiment tag and heat emboss the star and the Wise men still seek Him. Adhere flat on top of the wise men. Glue Smoke Grey piece on the inside to allow for stamping and writing a message .

Are you ready to start making Christmas cards yet?

The other sheaf is cut from Soft Succulent. The Bumbee-colored flowers are cut from the Harvest Meadow DSP. There is just the right amount of print!

The Base is Moonlight Madness matted with the Harvest DSP. Colors and Contours is used for the Basic White layer. Thank you is stamped in Moonlight Madness.

Luv 2 Stamp Blog Hop Red, White, and Blue Challenge with Create with Friends

Welcome to the Luv 2 Stamp Group’s 2021 Blog Hop! We are excited to share projects with you this year, we hope to inspire you to create beautiful new projects. Each month we will have a different theme based on the next month’s celebrations using Stampin’ Up! products.

When you have completed each post, be sure to scroll down to the bottom and you will see the list of Blog Hop Participants. You may either click on their name to go to their post or click the NEXT button.  Happy Crafting and I hope you enjoy this month’s theme: Red, White and Blue!

 Here is my sample for the Red, White, and Blue challenge. I wondered how I could make a patriotic card with no patriotic paper. The challenge was on. Beginning with a larger base than typical, I layered Night of Navy, Basic White, and Poppy Pararde. In order to offset the dark colors, I used the light blue striped piece from the You're a Peach DSP. With this canvas I needed a focal point.  Daisies are the ticket. I used the Daisy Punch. But what could I use that is red, white, and blue? I remembered the Neutral  6"x 6" DSP (Night of Navy) and the Brights DSP(Poppy Parade). The rounded squares will give added texture and interest for the flowers, as well as preparing the flower to look more dimensional with my fingers or stylus. Don't forget a daisy from Basic White, too. I embellished the flowers with matching Rhinestone Jewels. 

Next, I went looking for the perfect sentiment and label. The Stitched So Sweetly Dies  are  perfect for a tag featuring the bold "Celebrate" from the new Create with Friends stamp set. Of course, "Celebrate" was stamped with Poppy Parade!

So with a little imagination  I think I succeeded in this challenge. What do you think?

Cutting and Scoring Dimensions

Night of Navy         6"x12", scored at 6"

Basic White             5-3/4" x 5-3/4"

Poppy Parade           5-1/2" x 5-1/2"

Night of Navy          5-1/4" x 5-1/4"

Peach DSP               5-1/8" x 5-1/8"

Basic White              5-3/4"x 5-3/4" (Inside)

Celebrate                  Poppy Parade

Label                        Stitched So Sweetly

Night of Navy and Poppy Parade 6"x6" DSP
