Sep 24, 2018 | 2018 Holiday Catalog, Halloween |
All week long I’m going to be featuring this adorable stamp set from the Stampin’ Up! Holiday catalog called Trick or Tweet. It’s a cute little Halloween stamp set with animals dressed up in costumes – a dog, a cat, an elephant, and a little chick. They are so cute!
Today’s project was one that I created after finding Glow in the Dark candy at the store. Well the candy doesn’t glow in the dark but the wrappers do. So I wanted to use our clear tiny treat boxes with the candy inside. If you leave it out in the light it “charges” up the wrapper so that it will glow later in the dark. And the wrappers are a perfect match to our Lemon Lime Twist color!
Supply List
- Trick or Tweet stamp set
- Clear Tiny Treat Boxes
- Lemon Lime Twist card stock
- Basic Black card stock
- Whisper White card stock
- Lemon Lime Twist Ombre Ribbon
- Basic Black Baker’s Twine
- StazOn Black ink
- Stampin’ Write Markers – Lemon Lime Twist, Pineapple Punch, Pumpkin Pie
- 1/2″ circle punch
- 1-1/2″ circle punch
- 1-3/4″ circle punch
- 1/8″ handheld punch
- Corrugated Embossing Folder
- Big Shot Die Cut Machine
I cut a 2″ strip of Lemon Lime Twist card stock and ran it through the Big Shot inside the new Corrugated Embossing Folder. I put that inside the Clear Tiny Treat box to fill the space around the candy inside the box. The little chick was colored with the Stampin’ Write Markers. Tie the ombre ribbon around the box and then add the finished tag.
Be sure to catch me on my FB Business page – At Monika’s Place on Wednesday afternoon for a Facebook Live showing you some other cute treat ideas with this stamp set. I’m planning to go live at 3:00 pm EST.

Sep 12, 2018 | 2018 Holiday Catalog, Big Shot, Cards, Designer Series Paper |
There are two unique things about this card – first it is square and second there is NO stamping! That’s right I have a card today with no stamping on it. It doesn’t happen often but it does happen. One of the things I love in the new annual catalog is the Thank You Thinlits die – it’s a single die that says Thank You. It does have a coordinating stamp set that creates a bundle option for you but the die works on its own and makes an easy no stamping card.
I used the new Country Lane Designer Series Paper from the Holiday Catalog that just went live. One of the coordinating colors in the paper is Cajun Craze so the thank you was cut from that. In order to maximize the beautiful paper each 12 x 12 sheet was cut into 4″ squares – that gives you 9 pieces from one sheet. Since I had square pieces for my paper layer I decided to stick with a square card – cutting my Mint Macaron base to be 8-1/2″ by 8-1/2″ and score it at 4-1/4″ – the spine could be either at the top like I have it here or on the left side for a side opening card. I used bits of my mini dimensionals to add the thank you to the front of the card and finished with a little piece of Linen Thread tied around it in a bow.
Supply List
- Thank You Thinlits
- Country Lane Designer Series Paper
- Mint Macaron card stock
- Cajun Craze card stock
- Linen Thread
- Mini Dimesionals
- Big Shot Die Cutting Machine
You could make a custom sized envelope with the Envelope Punch Board but I just stick mine in our Medium Sized Envelopes. This is a quick and easy card to make a stack of. Do you make very many card with no stamping on them?

One of my favorite things to use for pillow gifts in the Stampin’ Up! catalog are our packaging options. You can find them on pages 192-193 in the Annual Catalog. A new option in this catalog is the Kraft Pillow Boxes. Initially I thought they were just plain Kraft boxes, but upon receiving them in my order they are printed with Polka Dots. While coming up with my ideas for the Getaway weekend – I often like to give some type of adhesive and this time the Multi-purpose Liquid glue was the perfect gift for my Call Me Clover color AND the glue fits inside the pillow box! The perfect solution.
To decorate the box I stuck with Call Me Clover embellishments. First a strip of the Animal Expedition Designer Series paper. Then some of the Call Me Clover ribbon. Stamp the little tag with a greeting in Call Me Clover ink and add few leaves that are Copper Embossed on Call Me Clover card stock and die cut with the coordinating dies. The tag is tied on with Copper Metallic Thread. Now everyone has a bottle of glue to use on their creative projects throughout the weekend.
Supply List
- Kraft Pillow Box
- Animal Expedition Designer Series Paper
- Call Me Clover 1/8″ Grosgrain Ribbon
- Copper Metallic Thread
- Copper Embossing Powder

One of my favorite things to do is to make little gifts for everyone that attends my retreat weekends. In July I hosted a Getaway Retreat weekend for my PAWS team and some other local demonstrators. We had a fun creative weekend together and I showered them with little gifts throughout. This week I’ll be sharing with you what I gave them. My theme was the new 2018-2020 In Colors.
On Friday when everyone arrived they had a sign with their name at the table plus a notepad and matching pen. This was their Lovely Lipstick gift. The notebooks and pens came from the office supply store and I decorated them with Designer Series Paper and tied them up with ribbon and a tag. It was the perfect thing for taking notes on the shoe box swaps everyone shared and for making a wish list!

- Lovely Lipstick 1/8″ Grosgrain ribbon

Here is a closer look at the tag. I stamped the “stamp” image and water colored it, then fussy cut it out to add to the tag.
I shared the name signs yesterday but here it is again. The supply list is below.
