Welcome! I’m sharing a fabulous valentine gift set with products from the Love You Always suite. Are you ready to get a head start creating your valentine cards and treats? We will be using a little old, a little new and lots of shine and sparkle.
Elisabeth, my granddaughter will be receiving this one from Nana. I love everything about this sweet Valentine gift set. The simplicity both the card and box allows you to crate multiples quick and easy. Don’t like to cut and score treat boxes? You don’t have to, Stampin’ Up! has already taken care of that for you. On page 11 of the new Jan-June Mini Catalog, you’ll find the Love You Always Treat Boxes.
My sweet girl likes things shiny and sparkly. I think this card fits the bill.
I love making my own custom embellishments. And that’s just what I did on this one. Because I used the dies in the Be Mine Stitched set to my advantage, I was able to step things up.
Be sure to check out the Annual Catalog as well. That’s where you will find the “A Grand Kid” set. If you have grandkids, this is the set for you.
These little boxes measure 4 1/16″ x 2 11/16″ x 1 1/2″. That’s a very generous size to fill with your kiddos favorite chocolates.
One of the best parts is that you don’t need any glue when constructing the box. It’s an interlocking design, so sturdy and easy to decorate.
Ready to create a batch of your own? I’ll show you how.

Sometimes you just need a little happy. Rainbow Glimmer paper to the rescue. It’s a little marriage made in heaven; the fun, bright and happy rainbow glimmer paper and the Ridiculously Awesome stamp set. This little gift set is the perfect “happy” to brighten someone’s day. Who wouldn’t love glimmer paper in hues of Bermuda Bay, Blackberry Bliss, Granny Apple Green, Magenta Madness and Mango Melody?
My grandkids are going to love this fun, happy and bright treat. I’m going to fill the little treat box with their favorite chocolates. I making mine a going back to school, after the holidays kinda treat.
By using the Sunflowers Dies, you can select any section of the Rainbow Glimmer paper for your sunflower background. That’s what gives the each of the sunflowers a different look. But, I think they are both beautiful.
Because I paired the paper with the Ridicuously Awesome stamp set, I was able to convey my message of love and sunshine and happiness with my kiddos.
The Rainbow Glimmer paper coordinates perfectly with the Artistry Blooms DSP. Talk about vibrant colors and bright designs. Check it out on page 148 of the Annual Catalog.
I couldn’t discard even a smidge of the glimmer paper, so I’ve formed a little grid to dress up the inside of my card. On to that sweet little treat box.
This is one of the easiest little treat boxes ever!! The finished box is 4″ x 3″ x 2″, big enough to fill with lots of treats. Start that assembly line and crank out a batch to share with friends, family and of course those kiddos in your life.
By using the Rainbow Glimmer paper on both the handle and bellyband it ties together nicely with the sunflower card. And I little bit goes a long way!
The “You are my Sunshine” sentiment is dear to my heart. A truly Louisiana classic, I used to sing that one to both of my kids growing up. Time to share that with my grandkids in some way.

It’s day 2 of It’s Fall Y’all! And nothing says fall like pumpkin spice, right? Today, we will be creating this cute Little Debbie Pumpkin Spice Roll Treat Holder. This is another project that features the Celebration Tidings bundle from Stampin’ Up!
I love the way you are able to die-cut different size labels from the Celebration Labels die set to create the perfect size images. Mango Melody is fast becoming one of my new favorite fall colors. It’s such a rich, warm tone and goes so well with Cajun Craze. That’s my top favorite fall color.
Add in just a little Cinnamon Cider and you’ve just a achieved fall perfection in my opinion. The stinkin’ cute pumpkin comes from the Autumn Essentials die set. You’ll want to take a second look at that set. I totally missed it at first and now I keep pulling it out to give it a play.
Did you know you could go to the Little Debbie website to locate any treats you are searching for? Just type in your zip code and it will locate nearest store to you, with that treat on the shelves. These pumpkin spice rolls were just what I was searching for. Yummy and oh so fall inspired, don’t you think? I’m happy to share my video tutorial so that you can see how quick and easy you can create a whole batch of these.
Here’s how the magic happens.
Treat Holder – Mango Melody CS – 5 1/2″ x 7″, cut with the largest die from the Celebration Labels set.
DSP Treat Holder Mat – Plaid Tidings DSP – 4 1/4″ x 6″, cut with the second largest die from the Celebration Labels set. Glue the two die cuts to one another, score each side at 2″. Punch a hole for your ribbon in the top center of the label.

It’s that time of the year! It’s Fall Y’all. My fall treat bag topper is the first in a three-part fall series.This week I’ll be celebrating fall week with the Celebration Tidings bundle from Stampin’ Up! I found the Pumpkin Pie Pretzels at my local Dollar General.
My fall treat bag topper was created with Mango Melody cardstock (one of my new favorite colors) and the Plaid Tidings DSP. I’ve got a little secret to share. October 1st, that fabulous DSP will go on sale. Be sure pick up a couple of packs for all your fall projects.
Because I cut the labels in different sizes, I was able to layer them up for my custom made fall treat bag topper. All you need to do is fold it in half and voila, you’ve got yourself the easist project ever!
Next, just stamp your tag, cut a few little sprigs and pop it onto the topper. You’re ready to gift this to your hairdresser, nail tech, kiddos teachers, postal delivery person and so many more that touch your life. Just a little somethin’ somethin’ to show you care and appreciate them.
Here’s how the magic happens.

The Heartwarming Hugs Suite is all about treats and gift giving. Capture the feeling of sitting inside on a wintry day alongside a warm cup of cocoa. You’ll love the packaging possibilities of the mini coffee cups and carriers.
Creating this sweet little carrier was so quick and easy. I’ve used a little of almost all the elements in the Heartwarming Hugs Suite.
