Sweet Songbird candy nest box – a cute & easy project!

August 11, 2022

Marilyn brought this adorable little treat basket to our Flowerbug's Team gathering a few months ago. I can't believe I haven't shared it here yet!

She used the Sweet Songbirds stamp set & punch bundle to make it. See this bundle here.

Save

Isn't it cute!? She stamped the nests in Soft Suede ink onto Soft Suede card stock and fussy cut them out – one for the front and one for the back.

Save

The box is made with a 3 1/4" square of Soft Suede card stock. Score at 1" on all sides. Cut up on four of the score lines to form your box. Glue the 2 fussy cut nests on the front & back. It fits a few wrapped chocolates inside.

*Tip; before you form your basket, stamp a greeting on the bottom panel if you wish. Smart!

Save

She stamped the greeting on a strip of Crumb Cake card stock and curled it around a toothpick. It's glued behind the bird.

The bird is punched using the Bird Builder punch from Real Red card stock. She sponged around the edges slightly to accent the wing etc. The belly is in White and is also punched out.

Save

It's just the sweetest little treat! Thank you Marilyn!

Over $1800 donated to Minot charities with our big stamping sale Saturday

August 10, 2022
As many of you know we hold a big paper crafting sale in June of each year where my customers can sell their excess or unwanted stamping items. This year we added a second sale that we held on Saturday. Why? Sadly one of my best friends passed away last fall and together with her family we sold her collection of stamping & scrapbooking items.

Here's a picture of some of it!

Save

We did add some items that were generously donated by my customers from the big June sale. 100% of this sale was donated to charities in Minot.

Click on the bold names below to read about them. Feel free to donate to any of these non-profits if you'd like to.
- Matthew 25 – a nonprofit that seeks to match gifts of clothing and household items with those in need in our community at no cost.
- Hairball Haven – non-profit feline rescue. We primarily pull cats and kittens from the Minot, ND
- Project Bee – has provided overnight housing for women at local motels and apartments for chronically homeless women with mental health issues.
The craft items were marked down drastically and people noticed! Not many items were over $3 and the majority was .25 – .50 cents! Our goal was to sell as much as we could to raise money for our charities. It was the biggest success we've ever had at a sale! I am still in awe and shock at how fast the items sold. Over $1800 will be donated to these amazing organizations.

My friend was a nurse and amazingly kind & generous. She would be so happy to know we used her craft items to support others in need in our city.

We had so little left; just 6 small boxes! And the leftovers will go towards another group of ladies that make cards for prison inmates, elderly & others in need. Their group is called Folding Angels.

I apologize to those of you who could not take part due to long distance or poor timing. I know it's a tease and I'm sorry about that. But I did want to share it with you.

Special thanks to my friend Clarisse's daughter, Devin, who helped gather and sort the items to be sold. Also to my faithful and generous helpers that spent hours marking & sorting – Marilyn, Lori, Pat, Becky & Joanne plus the many that helped at the sale. It would not have been a success without the many hours of help and guidance you provided.

Simple stamping with the Simply Fabulous set & Silver & Gold DSP

August 9, 2022

I shared fun ways to use the Silver & Gold DSP on last week's Facebook Live video. See the video here.

Save

I stamped directly onto this foil printed DSP with the Simply Fabulous stamp set seen here. I chose it because of it's bold, solid images.

Save

I decided to feature the newest In Colors – Parakeet Party, Sweet Sorbet & Tahitian Tide. If you love bright, eye catching colors you need these 2-22-24 In Colors! Most of you know I love color coordination; it's why I love Stampin' Up! They have everything from card stock, ink, markers, ribbon to gems in these colors. See them all here.

Save

The greeting is stamped on a die-cut from the Beautiful Shapes dies seen here. I love the unique and playful shape of it.

Below are the measurements for this card.
