Strawberry Treats!

This gift box was inspired by another Stampin' Up! Demonstrator Diane Heatherington.  I took her idea and twisted it a bit.

I used the Mini Pizza boxes and stamped the strawberries before I folded it.  The pink tissue paper is from a gift I received from my husband.  I found the Hershey Strawberry Heart chocolates, and added the calyx from the punch with a glue dot.

What an excellent way to show someone you really appreciate them.  It's not just a thank you it's a special thank you treat!

Blossoms in Bloom Congratulations!

One of the teacher assistants I work very closely with won Support Person of the Year at my school campus!  I'm thrilled for her - she works so hard and helps me out more than she knows.  I'm very grateful to her and tell her often.

I actually had the card base stamped, and just added a few fun things for her and will present this to her when we're back at school.

I actually made 6 or 7 of these panels.  I just love our new In-Colors so much!  I set up the largest blooms stamp on my Stamparatus and then after the main image was stamped, added in the smaller images with their individual colors with smaller blocks.  The greetings are popped with dimensionals and the ribbon is adhered with a glue dot.

Stacked Ice Cream Cone

Slimline cards really are the thing lately!  The latest ice cream suite really lends itself to a much taller than 'normal' card.  I added lots of details to this towering pile of ice cream!  The sprinkles are adhered to the card with the Liquid Tombow glue.  They didn't take long to dry.

I cut a piece of DSP as the background, and made sure it peeked out from behind the white.  I stamped sprinkles in coordinating colors, and adhered the scoops with dimensionals.  The Happy Birthday was stamped in Blackberry Bliss ink.

Hidden Surprise Fun Fold Card

This is the first video I filmed for crafting!  I've been on Zoom calls with students teaching Math since August, so I feel I've got a little experience.  Since we've been out of school on Intersession, and snow days, I've had to teach Math from home.  It's practically impossible without a document camera.  My husband stepped in to save the day, and ordered one for me!  The beauty of having my own camera like this - I can use it for teaching, and I can use it for crafting! 

I'm still working out some bugs (like the shadow issue), but it seems to be working just fine!  

I hope you enjoy my first crafting video.

Card base:  5 1/2" x 6 1/2"  Score the 6 1/2" side at 4 1/4".

My Top 5 List for the Occasions 2021 Catalog (not exhaustive)

While this list is not exhaustive by any means - there are other suites and stamp sets I really like, I chose these as my Top 5.  Click on the links to go to my page to purchase.

Occasions 2021 Top 5

1.Hydrangea Hill Suite Collection
	This Suite has it all! Gorgeous papers, beautiful ribbon, a great stamp and die set as well as some beautiful pearls and specialty acetate paper. The pearls really add a beautiful touch to projects when paired with the ribbon.
2.Many Messages Bundle
	This is my #1 MUST HAVE from this entire catalog release. With one stamp, and one die cut (22 images), you've got enough greetings to add to cards for a LONG time! Stamp in all different colors, and store in a small tackle box - PERFECT! Die cut blanks, and use them with other greetings stamps - SPECTACULAR! This was the first stamp set I ordered from this catalog.
3.Sweet Strawberry Bundle
	Did you know I have a Strawberry kitchen? We LOVE strawberries here! I've been making all kinds of fun things with this bundle. It pairs with a Sale-A-Bration bundle beautifully.
4.Woodland Wonder Photopolymer Stamp Set
	This stamp set is just the CUTEST! It's a lot of fun to color, and it is adaptable to make any size card you need.
5.Happy Thoughts Cling Stamp Set
	The different fonts in this stamp set give you so many options for cards and gifts. It's one of those go-to stamp sets. I always suggest this one as a hostess stamp set, or a purchase just because has all the greetings you could possibly need.
