3-Day Cards - Stampin' Up! Style

Last weekend was the Susan G. Komen 3-Day Walk in Atlanta.  I had six friends who were walking this year and I wanted to send them each a card.  When you're a participant, you can receive mail while you're at camp.  I remember getting cards last year from friends and family and it really meant a lot to me.  I wanted to let my friends know that I was thinking of them while they were on their 3-Day journey.  Here are a few of the cards I made:



I was so excited when I noticed that our Friendly Phrases Stamp Set had the sentiment "Here's to You."  That's the team name of the group of girls I walked with last year.  I knew I wanted to use this stamp set to make a card this year for the "Here's to You" team!  The 3-Day walk was an amazing experience for me last year - one I'll never forget!!  I'm so proud of everyone that walked last weekend and especially my friends that do this year-after-year!  You are all incredible ladies!!  

I'm also proud to be part of such a wonderful company!  Stampin' Up! is donating $60,000 to the Breast Cancer Research Foundation (BCRF), thanks to the hard work and generosity of our customers and other demonstrators around the world during the Strength and Hope campaign.  :)  Thank you Stampin' Up!

Beau Château Card Set

Happy Friday!!  I'm not quite sure where my week has gone?!  But, here I am.  I want to share with you these cards and box using Stampin' Up!'s Beau Château Designer Series Paper.  I love this paper.... it is just so pretty and feminine.  And with two boys, I don't have a whole lot of feminine around this house!  lol!




Wouldn't this sweet little box of cards make a great gift?  I love the shabby chic, country feel of this paper!!  This box was super easy to create as well.  I can't take credit for the design....  this is one of the items we made at Gifts Galore.  Mandy Grant planned all of the projects (in Spice Cake DSP) and I made them in this suite for display.  I love the way everything turned out.  I'll post more projects from Gifts Galore soon!

Products Used:
Paper:  Beau Château Designer Series Paper, Very Vanilla, Crumb Cake, Soft Suede
Stamps:  Creative Elements, Friendly Phrases
Ink:  Soft Suede
Punch:  Decorative Label (Can you see it?!  On the corners of the card and the end of the sentiment strip!)
Other:  Spice Cake Big Buttons, Chantilly Lace Ribbon, Dimensionals


Creative Chat Favorite:

Friendly Phrases Stamp Set
#126151 (Clear Mount) - $14.95
#126149 (Wood Mount) - $18.95

Oooh, how I love this stamp set!!  The font is fabulous, the sentiments are perfect, and several of them fit inside the large oval punch (which means they fit inside the Embossing Frames)!  So fun!!

I hope you have a fabulous weekend!!

Halloween Cello Bag Treats

Happy Monday!!  Last week, a few of us got together to make some Halloween treats for classmates and teachers.  Here are some of the goodies we made:


I've shown you the Halloween Matchbox already in this post, but aren't those little cello bag treats fun?


I think they would also be really cute with those glow bracelets inside.... wondering if they'd fit?  I'll have to try it!  My son's birthday is on Halloween so we get a little crazy over here with the Halloween festivities!  :)

Did you know that Stampin' Up! now sells 1" x 8" cello bags?!  They are in the Holiday Mini Catalog -- $2.50 for 50!  You can get them HERE in my online store!  They make perfect little party favors or classmate gifts for any occasion.






1" x 8" Cellophane Bags
# 124134 - $2.50


Narrow cellophane bags perfect for filling with a row of treats, a pencil, or anything! Great for gifts—add a tag or topper you’ve created using any punch or Big Shot die. Adhesive on top keeps everything inside. Each measures 1" x 8". 50 per package.








Don't forget - anyone who places an order this month from me, gets entered into a drawing for the FREEBIE of the month.  Check out the free Stamp Set HERE!

I hope you all have a wonderful week!  Thanks for stopping by!!
