Well, friends, 2021 Halloween is just around the corner so here's an easy treat or gift bag that you can make in a jiffy! 

This one is created with the Frightfully Cute Bundle (currently on backorder) but you can use any of the supplies that you have on hand to create this for Halloween treats or a little gift.  In fact, you can see a re-make of this bag, the Christmas version, right here.

Notice that I did not use a Halloween designer paper for this bag.  This pattern is in Bumblebee from the Sweet Symmetry Designer Series Paper collection from the Stampin' Up! Annual Catalog.

Here are the simple directions for assembling this easy gift bag for 2021 Halloween or any occasion!

• The card stock for the bag is cut 8-½ x 11. Score on the long side at 4-½, 5-¼, 9-¾, 11. 
• Turn and score at 1-½ for what will be the bag bottom.
  
• Embellish the bag with die-cuts, stamped images, ribbon, and gems to coordinate with your card stock, designer paper, and for the occasion.

Now you are ready to create this bag for any celebration!  It's easy and fun and you can decorate it however you'd like!

This Blessing Box is a special project and the 2021 version is created with the beautiful Gorgeous Leaves Bundle by Stampin' Up!

The idea behind the Blessing Box came to me when so many would often tell me how much it meant to receive a card from me.  And, when my brother told me that he's kept every card that I've ever made for him.  It made me think about those who never receive a little "paper hug" in the mail.  How could that be changed even if only for just a few?

And, thus, the Blessing Box was created.  A little box that holds 3 x 3 cards with a kind phrase, a verse from God's Word, or an uplifting message...just a random act of kindness.  There is no signature, no credit; just sharing in hopes that it will be a blessing in someone's day.

The video goes into a little more detail about how these are shared so I hope you'll watch and make plans to create your Blessing Box.

2021 Blessing Box with Stampin' Up! Gorgeous Leaves

This project is a 2021 Stampin' Up! Christmas card that I hope you will love as much as I do!  With some easy techniques that you can add or omit, this card will be a pretty favorite that your friends and family will love!

The Angels Of Peace Cling Stamp Set (English) [156365] is one that can be used during the Christmas season or any time of year.  This little one carries a little holly sprig and there is a more mature angel.  Both are super sweet and pretty and are fun to color.

This project was originally seen on my YouTube Premiere last week.  You can tune in there on most Thursday evenings to see a new project or two and participate in the LIVE chat.

Here's a look at this card in the making with those easy techniques that I mentioned earlier.

2021 Stampin' Up! Christmas Card with Easy Techniques

Lisa's Inklings:

• Basic White Thick Cardstock [159229] 4-¼ x 11. Score at 5-½.
• Basic White Cardstock [159276] (2) 4 x 5-1/4, (1) 4 x 5 to die-cut
• Polished Pink Cardstock [155710] 1-½ x 4 (sentiment)
• Whimsy & Wonder Specialty Designer Series Paper [156329]- 1 x 3 (snowflake print) and 4 x 5-¼ for embossing paste background layer.  Cut to 3-½ x 5-¼.

Download the Ink and Inspirations Project Sheet PDF Here. This PDF contains project details with measurements and a complete listing of supplies used on this card.

You can save this PDF (linked above) to your files on your device or print it to keep on file.

You can create this card without all the techniques and it would still be a beautiful card and much easier to mass-produce. And, you could always re-create it in a different color scheme.  It would be so pretty in traditional colors, too.  What do you think about this card in pink?  I am loving this color palette featured in the Whimsy & Wonder Specialty Designer Series Paper [156329].

Now that you've read this post, get the supplies you need to make this card. Thank you for tuning in today for this 2021 Stampin' Up! Christmas card with easy techniques.

This 2021 Stampin' Up! Halloween Project is a remake of this box but this one is decked out with the Frightfully Cute Bundle [156493] from the 2021 July-January mini catalog. 

Isn't the blue and yellow a pretty combination?  This little owl is guarding a box full of sweets.  This box could even hold a little gift.

Here's a look at the how-to so you can make this 2021 Stampin' Halloween box, too!

Lisa's Inklings:
Night Of Navy Cardstock [100867] (2) 5 x 6. Score at 1" all four sides, (2) 2-3/4 x 3/4, (2) 3-3/4 x 3/4, (1) 2-3/4 x 3-3/4.
Crushed Curry  Cardstock [131199]  (2) 3-7/8 x 7/8, (2) 2-7/8 x 7/8, (1) 2-7/8 x 3-7/8  plus a small piece to stamp sentiment.
You will need scrap pieces of the other card stock colors to die-cut: Gray Granite  Cardstock [146983] and Early Espresso  Cardstock [119686].
Substitute Crushed Curry for stars since this Be Dazzling Paper is no longer available.

Look at all that chocolate goodness!  Well, to me, anyway! ;)  I always tell Jackie, my husband, NOT to eat the candy in my studio because there is NO telling how old it is.  If he finds this box, he will know these are fresh!

Although designed as a Halloween project, this is a versatile box that you could adapt for any occasion.  A small gift would be nice tucked inside.  Here are some ideas...

• An infant onesie
• A bottle or two of essential oils wrapped in tissue for added protection.  (It would be a good idea to use glue dots or a small piece of tape to keep the box closed.)
• A gift card with a few candies.
• Some Stampin' Up! adhesives for your favorite crafter.
• Scented or specialty soaps.

These are just a few ideas and I am sure you can think of more!

Here is the Ink and Inspirations Project Sheet that you can download or print.  It contains all of the measurements and the products used!

If you'd like to purchase Stampin' Up! supplies, I would be honored to serve you!  You can go here to be directed to my Online Store or you may call me at 409-719-2853 or e-mail me. I will be happy to help you with your order!

Thank you for stopping by today!  Now, it's your turn to re-create this 2021 Stampin' Up! Halloween Treat Box!

Here's a tip for making your handmade Christmas card into a gift!

Not too long ago, these ornaments were shared as one of my YouTube Premieres as well as here on the blog.

I knew that these ornaments would make a great focal point for a Christmas card but wanted to come up with a plan so that these could still be used as an ornament thereby making the card into a gift!

Watch the video below for the plan then we will chat more about it afterward.

When A Card Is Also A Gift

Lisa's Inklings:

• You only need a small dab of glue for this to work.  Start small then add more if needed.
• As mentioned in the video, you can create almost any shape/label into an ornament.
• Before placing the ornament on the card, sign the back and date it.
• Be sure to include instructions inside the card for removing the ornament.

Here's another card idea with a similar ornament.  There are really quite a few possibilities...just take a look through your supplies!

Thanks for tuning in today and I hope you will make some of your handmade cards into Christmas gifts this holiday season!

Let's start the week with a fun project...a gift box for a candle from the Target Dollar Spot! (I think it's still called by that name!)

Anyway, if you are a Target Shopper, then you are familiar with this area of the store which is usually near the entrance.  Our daughter, Kristen, and I went shopping the other day and I had to check out all the fall goodies in this area.  These candles came in several colors with several sentiments and scents...cost: $3.  As a former classroom teacher, I know that I would have loved a little gift like this so I purchased two for Mia's preschool teachers.

Of course, there needed to be a sweet box to hold this candle and the Pretty Pumpkins Bundle [156478]  would make the perfect accents.

Below, you can see the how-to video which is a recording of my Craft & Chat with Lisa LIVE broadcast on my Facebook page.

Lisa's Inklings:

• Cinnamon Cider Cardstock [153078]: For box bottom- 5-3/4 x 11.  Score at 2-1/2, 5, 7-1/2, 10.  Turn and score at 2-1/2.
• Cinnamon Cider Cardstock [153078]: For box lid- 4-1/2 x 4-1/2. Score at 15/16 on all 4 sides.
• Cork Specialty Paper [156393]: (4) 2-1/4 x 2-1/4 and (1) 2-1/2 x 2-1/2.
• Very Vanilla Cardstock [101650]: 3-1/2 x 3-1/2 to die-cut label.
• Brushed Metallic Cardstock [153524]: 3 x 3 to die-cut pumpkin.
• Kraft Paper Pack [156325]: 3 x 3 to stamp and fussy cut sentiment.

Today's project is a 2021 Stampin' Up! Christmas Gift Coupon Folder that made its first appearance on my YouTube premiere this evening. This idea came to me when thinking of Lyla and Mia, two of our grands, and how much they appreciate experiences and special "Honey and Papa" time. 

Since I did not have the Penguin bundle and it's not available for order, I thought that this designer paper that was earned for FREE as a Sale-A-Bration item would be perfect for this project.

Here's a sweet project with a simple spotlighting technique for card making.  This card and video have been ready to share for quite some time and the linen thread is no longer available.  I'll share an alternative during the video.

About the technique...

There is a spotlighting technique that is a little more "detailed" but this method is really easy and I think you will enjoy it for your cards.  Here's a close-up look...

Let's take a look at the video tutorial so you can try it!

Simple Spotlighting Technique for Card Making

Lisa's Inklings:

• Crumb Cake Cardstock [120953] is cut 4 x 8 and scored at 4".
• Basic White Cardstock [159276] is cut 3 x 4 for the outside panel and 3- 3/4 x 3-3/4 for the inside of the card.  You will also need a scrap for the "spotlight".
• Choose a 1-1/4 to 1-1/2 circle from the Layering Circles Dies [151770] for the spotlight piece.
• In Good Taste Designer Series Paper [152494]: 4 x 4
• Substitute (2) 1/4" x 4" strips of Mossy Meadow 8-1/2" X 11" Cardstock [133676] to border the top and bottom of the outside panel in place of the linen thread.
• This card has colored Basic Rhinestones for accents but the Pastel Pearls are perfect!

Now you can create a card with a simple spotlighting technique to add a pop of interest to your handmade creations!

This week's YouTube Premiere featured an alcohol marker and vellum technique for cardmaking.  This is a really fun technique and you may find yourself doing it over and over.  There will be a supply list below but it's important that you have 99.9% Isopropol Alcohol.  This link takes you to the brand that I purchased from Amazon.

There's just a touch of this technique on the card above.  Can you spot it?

The second card was a remake of an anniversary card that I made for Jackie.  You will see the comparison in the video.

Here's the video for your viewing pleasure. :)
