Disney Gift Box...

Just a quick and easy project tonight! We took a fam trip to Disneyland in October, and my cousin helped me plan our days there.  (She is an expert and helped us so much and saved us so much time there by actually having a plan!)  I got her a fun little souvenir to tell her thanks and wanted to make a themed wrapping for her souvenir...

So fun, right!  Just a quick and easy tag with a simple box and ribbon. 


A few punches (some circles...the ears are the 1/2" circle and I believe the head is 1 1/4"...but I don't have it anymore to measure it, the Cookie Cutter builder punch for the bow, and the Duet Banner punch--ON SALE RIGHT NOW!!!--for the sentiment, and the Scallop Tag Topper), stamps, Washi Tape, etc...and you have yourself a fun package!!!

Another quick view...

Hope you enjoy!  Thanks so much for visiting!  Let me know if you have any questions!  designwithink@gmail.com

On Stage Events = Gift Time!!

When I attended Stampin' Up!'s On Stage event a few weeks ago, I shared a hotel with a couple friends.  Of course I had to give them a little gift because I love doing this little tradition!  I just realized I forgot to share it.  Oops!  So thought I better remedy that...


Here is the whole package with their fun little tag.  I had a little notebook and chocolate bar inside.


For the notebook, I barely did anything but I wanted to show the different just a few seconds can make.  I used the "Flourishing Phrases" stamp set, stamped it in Whisper White Craft ink, and then embossed with Whisper White embossing powder.  And That. Is. All. I. Did!  Check it out.  The notebook on the right is how I bought them.  And look at the fun little touch just one stamp can make!


And here is just the stamped notebook...


Then here is how I decorated the chocolate bar...


Used the Flourish Thinlit dies to cut out the black flourish, and just added a few other simple elements. 

Hope you enjoy!  Thank you so much for visiting!  Let me know if you have any questions! designwithink@gmail.com

It's Paper Pumpkin Time...Double Time!

It's no secret, I LOVE MY PAPER PUMPKIN KIT!  It's so much fun to get a crafting kit in the mail every month...all the prep work, thought work, etc taken care for you!  All you have to do is sit down and have some stress-free crafting time!  Also...I send out a card every month to my Paper Pumpkin subscribers...using the stamp set that comes with the kit for that month.  Thought I better share the last 2 cards I have sent...

This was the card from October...


I LOVE that crackle stamp!  I stamped it all over the cardstock piece.  Best part about it...I just messy stamped it.  Didn't try to line anything up, just stamped until cardstock was covered.  And it looked great every time!  It's a BEAUTIFUL stamp!


So fun, right?!  Also...I really like to see fun pretty stamp things in a pile when I'm all done, so here you go...


It's a double post today...here is the card from November...


Love the cards sent in this months kit!  And so easy to keep on creating with your kit is all finished!  Just did some simple stamping here.  I stamped it all on Shimmery White cardstock so there is a fun shimmer in real life. Hard to get a photo of it, but I tried...



So what do you think?!  Hope you enjoy!  Let me know if you have any questions!  designwithink@gmail.com

Need A Gift Box With That Card?! ...

The other day I shared this card...


This card was actually made after a fun little gift box I made, because sometimes you need a little gift AND a card, right?! So here is the SMALL gift box that coordinates with this card...


These are the Clear Tiny Treat Boxes that are in the Annual Catalog.  I LOVE them!  They are so much fun to use.

Colors: Very Vanilla, Mint Macaron, Night of Navy, Copper
Cardstock/Papers: Mint Macaron, Very Vanilla, Petals & Paisleys Specialty Designer Series Paper
Stamps: Acorny Thank You
Tools: Big Shot, Stitched Shapes Thinlits, Triple Banner Punch, Classic Label Punch, Heat Tool
Accessories: Copper Embossing Powder, Clear Tiny Treat Boxes

Now look at the top of the box...


Hard to get a great picture of it, but that is embossed with the Copper Embossing Powder.  Let me just tell you...it is BEAUTIFUL!!!  And goes so amazing with the Copper Foil details in the Designer Paper, from the Petals & Paisleys Designer Paper pack.

This box is so easy to make.  Just make the box, add a strip of Designer Paper, and then make a little focal point for the top of the box.  Would be perfect as a little favor for your Thanksgiving table!


Look at some of the boxes I made all stacked up...


Love it!  Hope you enjoy!  Let me know if you have any questions!  Thanks so much for visiting! designwithink@gmail.com
