Thank You Card with Stampin' Up! Hello Beautiful

Thank-you-card-hello-beautiful-1Here's a fun thank you card created with the Stampin' Up! Hello Beautiful Bundle (English) [158047].   The abstract stamps and shapes can really make some pretty and unique cards.  You can see another card, a fun fold, that was made with the Hello Beautiful Bundle HERE.

Another element that really contributes to this card is the coordinating paper, DSP.  It has a variety of abstract and fun prints with splashes of gold.  Making intentional die cuts with that hexagon die can really show off that metallic shine.

Hello-beautiful-thank-you-carddHere are some measurements and details so that you can re-create this card.

Makeover Magic #2 - Handmade Gift Box

Makeover-magic-handmade-gift-box-2Today's project is a makeover of a handmade gift box from a previously recorded video tutorial. 

The original project was created and shared a few months ago as a holiday or hostess gift.  I love packaging tea towels or kitchen towels with our pretty Stampin' Up! goodies and making the presentation really special.  We've all heard of the adage, "presentation is everything",  and as paper crafters, we like to think that is most certainly true!

Here is the original project below. Notice the tag on the "makeover" is adhered to the box front rather than hanging from the ribbon wrap as pictured below. 

Magid2-handmade-gift-bagLet's take a look at the video below for the how-to.

Handmade Gift Box

Here are some quick details for this handmade gift box.

Lisa's Inklings:

  • Waves Of The Ocean Designer Series Paper [159982]is cut 8-1/2 x 12.
  • Score at 2, 5-3/4, 7-3/4, and 11-1/2 on the long side.
  • Score at 2" on both ends of 8-1/2" side for top and bottom.
  • The top will be turned to the inside for support.
  • The bottom will be cut as shown in the video to form the box bottom.

Makeover-handmade-gift-box

If you're curious about the towels that are used for these projects, I really love the Pioneer Woman brand towels and I have also used towels from Hobby Lobby and JoAnn Fabrics.  You can see another of these towel packaging projects HERE.

If you're ready to create this project yourself, you can find the supplies listed below.  If you do not have a Stampin' Up! Demonstrator, I would be honored if you chose to order from me.  Each order from my online store allows me to continue to share with you.  Thank you for your support of my business.

Now that you've seen how you can make a handmade gift box for a special presentation, visit the online store to get your supplies!


Fun Fold Card with Hello Beautiful

Missing-you-handmade-card-hello-beautifulIt's a surprisingly fun fold card with the Stampin' Up! Hello Beautiful Bundle (English) [158047] for today's project.  This card was one of the two which were featured in a video tutorial that aired on Thursday evening on my YouTube Channel.

(Be sure to take a look at this fun fold from last week, too!)

The abstract shapes and stamps in this bundle really allow you to just let those creative juices flow! The coordinating Abstract Beauty 4" X 6" Specialty Designer Series Paper [158039] is gorgeous and you will love the fun 4x 6 size.

This fun fold is one that I call the V-Fold Pop-Up.  It's super easy to create as you'll see in the video.

Fun-fold-pop-up-card-hello-beautifulLet's take a look at the how-to below.  This is the first card featured in the video...take a look!

Fun Fold Card with Hello Beautiful

Lisa's Inklings:

Happy National Children's Craft Day!

Children-crafts-dayHappy National Children's Craft Day

Little ones (aka Littles) love to craft.  My granddaughters and I always have several craft sessions while we are together.  And, it's usually their idea.

There are so many benefits to crafting for youngsters.  Here are just a few off the top of my head...

  1. It requires the use of their imagination.
  2. It's a great alternative to screen time.
  3. It contributes to the development of an appreciation for the arts.
  4. It helps to develop a sense of accomplishment.

While "our" crating sessions usually involve paper crafts, their possibilities are endless with just a box of crayons, colored pencils, or watercolors and household items.

Here's a nice article on National Children's Craft Day with some ideas and more benefits of crafting.

And, below are a few photos of our two oldest granddaughters with their creations!

childrens-craft-dayLyla wanted to draw the image from my stamped card and color it on her own. Below is her finished creation! Isn't it fabulous?
childrens-craft-day

--->Here are some photos of Lyla making some cards for her friends at school.


Mia loves to glue die-cut and punched shapes and apply self-adhesive embellishments to create collages on card stock or card fronts.

childrens-craft-day

Mia loves to use scissors, too. :) See her little fringe cuts on her design above?

childrens-craft-dayShe loves to use punches and here she is using lots of self-adhesive stars for her project.

If you are a paper crafter or cardmaker, here are a few suggestions that you might want to have on hand to craft with your "littles".

Another great idea is our Stampin' Up! Kits Collection.  Everything you need arrives in a neat little box in the mail. The kits offered change according to availability but you can't go wrong by checking HERE in my Online Store.

Whatever supplies you use whether paper crafting supplies or household items, encourage your littles to be creative and celebrate National Children's Craft Day.
