Stamping Expressions

Altered Gift Tin

  My favorite cookies come in this tin - Moravian Spice Cookies!  I love this little tin and plan to fill it with peppermint Hershey's Kisses as soon as I can find them!  The paper and stamps are from the Holiday Collection Stampin' Kit (114447) featured in this month's Country Living magazine.  The Top Note Bigz die fits nicely around it for a simple tag or label.  Check back soon for more ideas from this kit!   Happy Stamping!

Chipboard Post-It Notes

 These chipboard coaster note pads are fun to make and very easy to put together.  I gave them as teacher gifts and when they run out of notes all they have to do is attach a new pad. I traced around one of the coasters onto Designer Series Paper - Bali Breeze on the left and Jersey Shore on the right as well as coordinating cardstock.  I used the Tombo Adhesive and covered one side with DSP and the other side with cardstock.  The Corner Rounder punch works great for creating the nice smooth corners.  I used my Crop-A-Dile to attach a Jumbo Eyelet in the center and tied it up with coordinating ribbon. 

Wouldn't this be a fun class?  Email me today if you would like to get a group of your friends together and we'll schedule a date!

Happy Stamping!

 

 

Rub-Ons Glass Jar

I had saved this cute jar from Christmas but didn't know what I would do with it until I started playing with the Rub-Ons.  They went on easily and I just made sure that they were completely adhered before I peeled off the backing.  It now sits on my desk filled with Ghirardelli chocolate squares!

Check out the Rub-ons in the Occasions Mini - they would really cute o the Die-cut Blooms!

Email me if you'd like to order some.

Happy Stamping!

Hoppy Easter!

Spring is my favorite season because I love rabbits and the signs of new life. 

This is an altered Altoid tin that I turned into an Easter gift filled with grass & chocolate eggs.

I spray painted the tin (inside & out) with white paint.  I covered the top & bottom with Bashful Blue cardstock.  I adhered 1/4" Bashful Blue grosgrain ribbon around the outside of the lid and the striped  Bashful Blue grosgrain on the outside of the bottom.  The Crop-O-Dile made it easy to punch two holes for the ribbon handle. I just knotted the ends of the ribbon inside. The bunny & eggs are from the retired set, Bunny Hugs.

Blessings to you and your family!He is not here; He has risen! 

A Breezy Box

Did anyone else hoard these mailboxes from Target?  They are too cute!!

This is from the Bali Breeze Designer Series Paper group.  I glued pink grograin ribbon around the edges of the ends.  I also used  Rose and Purely Pomegranate ribbons on the flag.  I used the Scallop punch for the flag and the front end.  I  layered Rose and Pomegranate flowers from the new Boho Blossoms punch  on top of a Pomegranate scallop.

I wonder how many Hershey's Kisses it will hold!
