This week the Rose Wonder Thinlits and the Mini Treat Bag Thinlits are both on sale! Here are several past projects that I created with both of them. Unfortunately the paper that I used on the treat bags is no longer available. I’ve included a video from Stampin’ Up! at the end of the post showing you how easy the treat bags are to assemble.
For more information about any of these products, if you click the pictures, you’ll be taken to my online store.

I’m late in my announcement but the winner from last week is
Jen Amaro!
Congrats Jen! You’ll be receiving three Treat Bag kits in the mail!
Today’s card uses some masking and it was my first time trying this technique. My flowers are from the set Helping Me Grow and my sentiment is in the Rose Wonder set.
I used Memento ink to stamp my flowers and colored them in with Copic markers. Using some masking paper, I stamped and cut out two flowers. I stamped one flower onto my Whisper White card base and then covered it up with the mask.
Then I stamped on top of the mask to give the illusion of one flower being behind the other one. Sometimes I had to place the mask on two flowers at a time. It’s a fun technique!
I’m definitely a beginner using Copic markers but I do love them. For my purple flowers I used: V01, V04 and V17 and the yellow ones are: Y1, Y15 and Y17. I outlined the edges with C3. I wanted to use some Wink of Stella for a touch of sparkle but I didn’t have any on hand. Don’t you hate it when that happens?!
Thank you for stopping by today! I’ve listed all of the Stampin’ Up! products that I used below. If you have any questions, don’t hesitate to ask!

I will always be very straightforward and honest with you. I ordered Paper Pumpkin when it first came out and I didn’t care for it. I subscribed and unsubscribed several times. BUT, I have been a loyal subscriber now for over a year and a half. Why? Because the projects are so cute AND I get a Stampin’ Spot and stamp set every month.
Stampin’ Up! sent out their millionth kit in March and they want to thank their Paper Pumpkin subscribers in April with an extra free stamp set! If you’d like to give it a try for a month and see if you like it, this is the month to do it. It is very simple to sign up but you need to do it by April 10th (this Sunday)! Click here to sign up!
Here are a few stamp sets that I’ve received in my PP past kits and my supply of Stampin’ Spots!
If after a month you decide that you don’t like it, simply unsubscribe before the 10th of the next month. It’s that easy!
Here’s a video from Stampin’ Up! that shows the contents of the kit that came out in March.

I love making cute AND easy projects and today’s project definitely fits under both of those categories. Since its Throwback Thursday I am recreating a treat bag I originally made last spring. You can see that original post HERE.
I’ll show you how easy it is to make this treat bag but first, as I mentioned yesterday, I’m celebrating my 7th Stampiversary with Stampin’ Up! this week! In honor of that, I am going to send out three of these Treat Bag kits to one lucky winner. You’ll receive a fun package in the mail with all the supplies you’ll need. I will cut, score and add the adhesive and you’ll just need to fold the flaps in (you’ll need to supply your own stamped image per Stampin’ Up!).
To enter to win, just leave a comment telling me which of the soon to be retiring In Colors (get them while you can) is your favorite! I’ll add an extra entry for you if you tell me which one is my favorite! I’ll announce the winner on Sunday, April 10th. I’m sorry but this is only open to U.S. residents.
Let me show you how easy it is to make the treat bag! You’ll need a piece of cardstock or DSP (I used Birthday Bouquet Designer Series Paper).
Card stock or DSP measurement: 5-1/2″ x 8-1/2″
Score on the portrait side at 1-1/2″
Turn it around to the landscape side and score it at 1-1/2″, 4″, 5-1/2″, and 8″
Now you will do some cutting and folding on the score lines (there’s some funky line above my score line, please just ignore that). When you lay your paper down to replicate my cutting, be sure the design you want on the outside is facing towards you and that the 1-1/2″ score line is down towards the bottom. Cut on the score lines indicated below. You’ll remove the piece on the right side, trim one of the flaps (this helps the bag fold up with less bulk), and take off a hair on the sides of the other pieces (again, less bulk).
Next, add Tear and Tape or Fast Fuse in the two areas shown below. The flap on the right hand side with the adhesive will attach to the opposite side to form the box. The flap with the adhesive will hold the bottom of the box together. I’ve put the adhesive on that particular flap so that it will face towards the back of the box (that will make more sense when you assemble your box).
You could pierce a hole at the top and attach ribbon but I decided to add a clothespin with some ribbon and my sentiment. Easy!! I’ll list all of the supplies that I used below. To place an order, just click on any of the products and you’ll be directed to my online store. Any questions, don’t hesitate to ask!
