Sneak Peek Holiday Mini #1

Stampin' Up! will be selling Cellophane Bags (1" x 8" - 50 per pkg) in the new Holiday Mini Catalog. Here's a photo of some of the items I choose to place in the bags:  Old fashion candy stick, pencil, Twizzler, Pez refills, Sixlets, Mint Candy Stick,  Chick N Stick, Tootsie Rolls (small narrow ones), and Smarties.   These ARE NOT food quality bags, so all items were individually wrapped by the manufacturer before I added them to the cellophane bag.  Won't these be perfect for Halloween, Christmas, party favors, and so much more.   

Cellophane Bags, Item #124134   available as of September 1st.

Creating some different ideas for the holidays ...  Halloween, Just Because, and Valentine's Day.  Sneak Peek is the Halloween one.   

 We have an amazing BigZ L die that creates 5 different styles of Peekaboo Frames.  This was a must have for me when I saw it in the catalog.   The frame is the light brown part that opens.   The large scallop is our large scallop punch and then I punched a circle in Very Vanilla that I had stamped with Frankenstein image.   They all fit together so well.

Peekaboo Frames, Bigz Die, item #124587 ... available September 1st.

SpookyBingo Bits Stamp Set, Item #123944 - Wood OR item #123946 - Clear Mount is available now for ordering.

Jolly Bingo Bits stamp set, item #120857 - Wood OR item #121187 - Clear Mount is another set available now that would be great when used with the Peekaboo Frames.

Personally, I see many, many uses for the Peekaboo Frames die year round.   I really like how it mixes and matches with many of our stamp sets and paper punches.
 

If you live in the Phoenix Area … Sweeties Candies in Chandler  (Alma School & Chandler Blvd – NW Corner) has a HUGE assortment of individually wrapped candies.   However they do not do mail order.  Their parent company does, here’s the website:

Punch Art Presents Birthday Card

I just finished making cards for a card swap that my Stampin' Up! KreatesKards team is doing this month.   We each create a card or card front out of current Stampin' Up! products to send to others on our team that are participating too.

These are my contribution to the swap.   The presents were made using a square paper punch and the triple layer blossom punch.   A true piece of "punch art".   This is a great way to use up scraps of card stock too.

Stampin' Up! products used:
Very Vanilla Card Stock for the base, item #101650

Misc scraps of Card Stock for the presents and ribbon tops
1 3/8" Square Paper Punch, item #119877
Blossom Bouquet Triple Layer Punch, item #122464
Happiest Birthday Wishes (Hostess Rewards)

Mini Tutorial to make the presents:

1.  Using the 1 3/8" Square Paper Punch, punch out the number of presents you need for your project.
2.  Using the Blossom Bouquet Triple Layer Punch, punch out layer 3 and the same number as the boxes.
3.  1/2 of the blossom will be exposure, so only put glue on the 1/3 to 1/2 of the blossom and attach to the back of the square.
4.  Attach the presents to the card

You don't need to do any cutting of the blossoms.   Presents can be created in any color and may be arranged in any pattern or layering pattern.

Tri-Fold Card - Another Style/Look

A short time ago I posted a tutorial for a Tri-Fold Card.  I made the same card but changed out the accent pieces using:

Boho Blossoms Punch, item #119858
Blossom Bouquet Triple Layer Punch, item #122464

It is interesting to see how the look of a card can be changed just by changing an accent or a color or adding in a new sentiment.
