Sweets for the Sweet Gift Tags

This was supposed to post on Thursday...I'm not sure why I didn't! I'll try to come back to post again later tonight...

I love these little gift tags created with the Sweet Shop Designer Paper from the new Stampin' Up! Occasions Mini Catalog and the Sweets for the Sweet stamp set in the big catalog. Every one of the new 2013 In Colors are featured in the Sweet Shop paper designs. I can't decide which color I like best! I used the coordinating In Color polka dot brads in these tags that helps to pull them all together. So sweet!

Sweets for the Sweet Fun Fold Card

Yesterday I posted the Thank You card that Stampin' Up! sent to me after the Alaska Cruise. (Click here to see it.) They always spoil us on the incentive trips and this one was no exception! One of the pillow gifts we received was a bag full of stamping supplies to use for our make and takes the next day. Inside the bag was the Sweets for the Sweet stamp set (click here to see it in my Online Store), four of the new In Color ink pads, 2-Way Glue, Linen Thread, and a marker. The next day, while we were at sea, there was a special make and take session and we got to stamp three great projects with the new stuff.

I was thrilled to see and use this new Wisteria Wonder Ruffled Ribbon. Don't you love it? It's so flirty and fun! You can get a bit of all the new In Color Ruffled Ribbons with my In Color Product Share. Click here for details.

Sweets for the Sweet Mini Album

I'm almost out of projects to share! That means it's time to get the camera out again and capture what I've been working on. I have a new tutorial I'd like to write up too, so hopefully I can get to that later this week. In the meantime, here is the third make and take project from the Alaska cruise. It's a mini album using the Sweets for the Sweet stamp set. I love that you can use the pieces in that set to make lollipops, pinwheels, and umbrellas. It has lots of possibilities! Click here to find this stamp set in my Online Store. Click here to see more samples using this stamp set.

Here's the inside of the album with pockets for photos and cards for journaling.

Sorry, I don't have instructions to share right now! It's on my list to do a makeover and post another version with a tutorial, but...don't hold your breath! ha ha! I'm just not going to make any promises on a time line.

Just for Fun Pennant Card

I recently found this card on my desk and realized that I never posted it. This is the card that I designed as a make and take for my new catalog open house back in July. I just love the way that it turned out. I wanted to use the Perfect Pennants die for the Big Shot for something other than making a banner.

The pinwheel comes from the Sweets for the Sweet stamp set that I got for free on the Alaska Cruise. Click here to see more samples using this stamp set.

Last Chance Favorites: Perfect Pennants Die Card & Angry Birds Banner

There's just two more weeks to get the retiring stamps and accessories before they're gone! You can view the Retiring Products in my Online Store here. A large majority of the retiring stamps have already sold out!

I really love this card using the retiring Sweets for the Sweet stamp set. The Clear Mount stamp set has already sold out, but you can still get it in wood. The thing I love most about this card isn't the stamp set though. I love the layout! The pennant and scallop circle shape are both from the Perfect Pennants die. The die is retiring AND it's on sale until Monday!

Sweets for the Sweet (Wood), #128742, $25.95

Perfect Pennants Big Shot Die, #123126, Reg: $32.95, SALE: $24.71

Here's a Angry Birds Birthday Banner that I created with the Perfect Pennants die a couple years ago.

How Sweet It Is Jar Card for #GDP178

Since I missed the last Global Design Challenge by just a few hours, I thought I'd jump on the next one early. This weeks' challenge is a sketch challenge. I love a good card layout and already had some pieces cut from my crafting session with my son this weekend. (See pics of Thomas' creations on my Facebook page!)

I love that the Jar of Sweets Framelits cut out the images from the designer paper! It's so easy to create a stack of cards with this designer paper! Check back tomorrow for more Sweetest Thing cards!

Here's the sketch for #GDP178. Play along with me this week and make a card using this sketch as inspiration and then post and share it on the challenge blog!

Clean and Simple Sweet Celebration Card

This is a clean and simple layout that is a great way to show off designer paper -- like the bright and fun How Sweet It Is paper from the Occasions Catalog! The Jar of Sweets die cut both the stamp images and the images from the designer paper,  including the gummy bear jar I used as the focal point for this card.  This was one of the three projects I included on the Inspiration Sheet for our Spring Celebrations class goody bag last weekend.

The designer paper squares are 1-1/2" x 1-1/2". You can substitute any paper and color to completely change the look and feel of this card! If you create a card with this layout, I'd love to see it! Leave a link in the comments below!
