Have you started thinking about Valentine’s Day treats? Can you believe how fast January is whizzing by?
Today I have a quick and easy treat bag that you can seriously make in just a few minutes!
Start with a 9″ x 2-7/8″ piece of Painted with Love Designer Series Paper and score it at 1″, 3″ and 7-3/4″. Fold on the score lines.
Insert your paper into a 3″ x 6″ Gusetted Cellophane Bag. The 1″ & 3″ score lines will go into the bag first and create the bottom.
Add our Sweet Soiree Ready Shreddie (crinkle-cut paper) to the bag along with some yummy candy.
Fold the top fold over to close the bag and staple it shut. Another option is to add a clip at the top.
Just like that, your bag is done! All that’s left is to add a sentiment but it isn’t absolutely necessary. I used the Layering Ovals Framelits and a stamp set that you can get FREE now, during Sale-a-bration with a $100 purchase (before tax/shipping). It’s called Happy Wishes and comes with 16 stamps! Watch the video below to see the set in action!
Here’s the same bag with a banner at the top which is a die in the Lots to Love Box Framelits Dies.
All of the supplies I used to make my bags are listed at the end of the post. When you’re ready to shop, just click any of the images and you’ll head over to my Stampin’ Up! online store. For every $50 you spend, you get to choose a Sale-A-Bration gift and this year, several items are available with a $100 purchase.

Today’s card is a fun one because it’s a pocket card! The folds create a little pocket where the Whisper White cardstock slips in. It would be easy to add a gift card with glue dots and when the cardstock is lifted out of the pocket, ta da!, a gift card!
This card is one of the ones featured in my January Card Kits. When you place an order with me in the month of January using the host code BCDR6NRJ, you’ll receive all of the supplies to make today’s card along with two other cards (you need to provide adhesive, ink and stamps). All of the paper will be cut, scored, punched, die cut and ready for you to assemble! A PDF will also be included with pictures, measurements and supply lists.

This month, there’s no minimum order needed to receive the January Card Kits and PDF and if you bump your order to $50, in addition to receiving a Sale-a-bration item from Stampin’ Up!, you’ll also receive an extra goodie from me in your thank you package. Click here to start shopping!
Sale-a-bration is the most fun time of the year! Why? FREE PRODUCT!! My card today was made using the Lots of Lavender stamp set, one of the free sets you can pick out with a $50 order. In fact, you can pick something different with every $50 you spend (before shipping/tax).
I made my first Stampin’ Up! purchase nine years ago during Sale-a-bration! I placed my order online and was shocked at all the free goodies I received. My order was over $150 so I received 3 Saleabration items plus the Hostess Rewards. I fell in love with the products (especially the color coordination) and purchased the starter kit the very next month. My only intention was to get a discount on all my future purchases. That was it! But then I started gathering my friends together to stamp because I wanted to share with them the fun I was having. Then I started several clubs and one thing led to another. BUT, I could have just been my only customer if that’s what I wanted.
When I bought the Starter Kit, Stampin’ Up! chose what was in it. Today, you can pick what YOU want! The kit is $99 but you pick $125 worth of product PLUS during Sale-a-bration, you can choose 2 extra stamp sets! If you love the product and know you’ll be purchasing in the future, why not get the Starter Kit? There’s no pressure to sell, unless you want to. If you purchase the Starter Kit during Sale-a-bration, you’ll have until then end of June to reach the quarterly minimum of $300 plus you’ll receive 20% off of all your own purchases. Sounds fun, doesn’t it? If you’d like to join, click here or please, feel free to email me with any questions you might have!
Back to my project! I created this card as part of a challenge from my team leader, Dawn, using the sketch below. I changed it up a little bit but the sketch gave me something to start with!
Calypso Coral: 11″ x 4-1/4″ scored at 5-1/2″ 3/4″ x 2-1/4″ for banner
Gold Foil Sheet: 3/4″ x 4-1/4″ 3-1/4″ x 2-1/2″ scrap for scalloped circle 3/4″ x 2-1/4″ for banner
Painted with Love Specialty Designer Series Paper: 4″ x 4-1/4″
Whisper White: 3″ x 2-1/4″ scrap for sentiment 3/4″ x 2-1/4″ for banner
I colored my flowers with Stampin’ Blends and used Memento Ink. I also used Memento Ink for the sentiment.
I wanted to give you an exact measurement for the banners but they can be shorter than 2-1/4″. The white one on my card is 2-1/4″ but the others could definitely be shorter. It all depends on how you want them to look on your card.
I used two Stampin’ Dimensionals on the right side only of the gold scalloped circle. The gold foil that the flowers are adhered to also have Stampin’ Dimensionals on the back, so the left side will already be raised.
All of the products I used are listed below. For easy shopping, just click on any of the pictures and you’ll be taken to my Stampin’ Up! online store. Use the host code and receive a package in the mail from me with 3 card kits: BCDR6NRJ
Valentine’s Day is just around the corner and this little treat bag is quick and easy to make! I always include a little handmade gift in my thank you packages when anyone places an order and this month you’ll receive one of these treat bags!
I used the gorgeous Painted with Love Specialty Designer Series Paper, new in the Occasions Catalog. This paper is packaged with (12) 12″ x 12″ sheets and six of the sheets have gold foil accents – so pretty! It’s ideal for Valentine’s Day but it can used for any occasion as only two of the designs actually have hearts on them.
Painted with Love Designer Series Paper: 9-1/2″ x 3″ scored at 1-1/4″ & 5-1/2″
3″ x 6″ Gusseted Bag: cut bag down to 4″ or you can just fold over the excess
Powder Pink 3/8″ Shimmer Ribbon: approximately 13″
All of the supplies I used will be listed below. Click any of the pictures in the list and you’ll be directed to my Stampin’ Up! online store. If you have any questions, don’t hesitate to email me.
Add a strip of Tear and Tape at the top of the cellophane bag and attach it to the inside of the treat bag. Then add your treat inside.
Attach Stampin’ Dimensionals to the back of the Powder Pink 1-3/8″ scallop and attach to the front of the treat bag.
Wrap the Shimmer Ribbon around the treat bag in the middle of the top flap. This will keep the bag shut. No adhesive needed!
When you purchase the Starter Kit for $99, you’ll choose $125 in product from the Annual and Occasions Catalogs (had your eye on a Big Shot?). Plus during Sale-a-bration, you can choose two additional stamp sets – a value of $101 (bundles, kits and Sale-a-bration stamp sets are excluded). For more information, feel free to contact me or click here!
I really love hearing from you! Leave a comment or question in the month of January and your name will be entered to win some Stampin’ Up! goodies from me! Come back on February 1st to see who the winner is!
Today’s card uses the beautiful Sweet Soiree Specialty Designer Series Paper. Because it’s a speciality paper, the paper is heavier than our regular designer series paper and this packager has silver foil accents on one side. It’s really pretty!
Stampin’ Up! makes it so easy to coordinate their paper and cardstock! On each package of designer series paper, all of the colors that will beautifully match are listed on the back. Sweet Soiree coordinates with: Berry Burst, Calypso Coral, Daffodil Delight, Flirty Flamingo, Marina Mist, Olive Olive, Powder Pink, Rich Razzleberry, Whisper White and our Silver Foil.
Marina Mist: (base of card) 11″ x 4-1/4″ scored at 5-1/2″ scrap for scalloped square
Rich Razzleberry: 5-1/4″ x 4″ scrap for scalloped square
Sweet Soiree Designer Series Paper: 5″ x 3-3/4″
Whisper White: scrap for square with sentiment
Vellum: scraps for 4 leaves
Attach Stampin’ Dimensionals to the back of the Marina Mist scalloped square.
You can add a small amount of adhesive to the vellum leaves or simply attach them to the Stampin’ Dimensionals already on the back of the square.
Stamp your greeting first and then die cut it using the Stitched Shapes Framelits.
Finish the card by adding two enamel shapes on both sides of the sentiment.
If you have any questions about this card, please don’t hesitate to email me! I’m happy to help!
Don’t forget that you’ll receive free product for every $50 purchase now during Sale-a-Bration! One of the most popular items in the catalog are the cute Party Pandas.
All of the products I used to make my card are listed below. To purchase any of these products, click on any of the pictures and you’ll be taken to my Stampin’ Up! online store. For orders under $150, please use the current host code: BCDR6NRJ
Happy Friday! Today is our youngest daughter’s 35th birthday! Wow, it’s hard to believe our “baby” is 35! When she was born my husband was in the Navy. The month before her birth, he left on the aircraft carrier, the U.S.S. America, and didn’t come home until six months later. Yep, he missed her birth. That was really difficult but I had my parents with me at the hospital and my mom was my coach in the delivery room. Sweet memories! Happy Birthday, Erin!!!
Today’s card uses the new bundle, Charming Cafe, from the Occasions Catalog. The bundle includes the Charming Cafe stamp set and the Cafe Builder Framelits dies (these products can be purchased separately but the bundle saves you 10%). You have the option to leave the center where I have the sentiment (which is included in the bundle) as is or to cut it out. To see all that’s available in this bundle along with some tips for using it, be sure to check out the video below!
Powder Pink: 4-1/4″ x 11″ (base of card) & 3-3/4″ x 5″ (second layer)
Whisper White: 5-1/4″ x 4″ (first layer) & approx. 3-3/4″ x 3-3/4″ for the flower frame with sentiment
If you’re worried about getting your sentiment straight, stamp it FIRST onto Whisper White cardstock and then use the Framelit to cut the frame out. After I had colored the frame, I was worried about getting my sentiment crooked. Stamping it first solves that problem!
Emboss the Powder Pink cardstock (top layer) using the Layered Leaves embossing folder.
Use Stampin’ Dimensionals to pop the frame up. You’ll love the dimension it gives to the card.
Add a glue dot to the back of your bow to attach it to the card.
Thanks for stopping by! All of the Stampin’ Up! products I used to make my card are listed below and simply clicking any of them will take you to my online store. Don’t forget that for every $50 purchase, you can choose a Sale-A-Bration gift!
I love hearing from you! Leave a comment in the month of January and your name will be entered to win some stamping goodies from me! Check back on February 1st to see if you’re the winner!
