If you haven’t watched my recent videos you may not know that we have moved from Minot, ND to Bismarck, ND this month. It’s been a super busy time of downsizing, selling excess, packing and moving.
Why did we move? Well, there are many reasons but mostly my husband retired and we moved to be closer to our son and other family. It was very difficult to leave our beautiful home but we will love our new home too. Here’s a picture of my office/craft room before I was able to unpack. I’ll share new photos once I’m settled.
In that back doorway is a walk in closet; that will help with storage! I did find a nice L shaped desk and hope to get that set up today; then I can really set up my room.
This is why I’ve been missing in action lately; it’s hard to do both stamping/business and moving/getting settled. So I’m taking a bit of a break in August. Have patience with me; I’ll be back to blogging and videos soon!

Check out this CUTE project I made on last week's Facebook Live. It's an adorable hat that doubles as a treat box. Besides Christmas this could be perfect for a child or a baby shower!
The two hats are made with our Layering Circle dies and Whimsy & Wonder specialty DSP. I used the largest scalloped die and the largest smooth die in the set. To get the sides of the greeting strips I used the round end of a punch. *tip shared in the video here. They are 1/2" and 3/4" in width.
Below is the template for the box; please watch the video below to see how it's put together.
I kept to the colors in the Whimsy & Wonder DSP for my card projects. Mostly Mossy Meadow, Mint Macaron & Polished Pink. I made the lower left card ahead of time and the right during the Live video. Look at the detail on these die-cuts! So many choices!
Every tree and accent was die-cut using the Whimsy & Wonder DSP, Silver foil paper & Mint Macaron CS. The tag is from the Tags & More set of dies seen here. The embossing folder is called Wintry 3D and it comes in a pair seen here.
I wanted to include some silver embossing for the ornaments card and used an entire panel of the pretty Specialty Paper on the card front. I pulled in Mint Macaron & Polished Pink from the DSP and coloring to coordinate. That's my favorite thing about Stampin' Up! – our color coordination. No more shopping for things that match!
This card below is probably my favorite of the three. I die-cut a white tree from my card front (4 3/4" X 3 1/2") and sponged it with Polished Pink ink. Then I added a piece of designer paper behind the window and offset the sponged tree.
What a neat but quick Christmas card this would be!
The right side is adhered down so only the left side of the card opens up. It's different yet fun and simple. You will need a paper trimmer to cut the card front.
I chose to use the Tidings of Christmas designer series paper in the Stampin' Up! Annual Catalog. See it here or on page 133.
