Pizza and Soda Pop Anyone?

Hello again!

I thought I would share with you today the cute little Pizza Box and Soda Pop treat box I made!  When I first saw the stamp set, I knew right off I'd be making a trip to our big Sweets Shop Candy store in the Phoenix, valley area.  Do you remember eating these as a kid?  Yes, I did try one as an adult and hmmm, not so sure I could call this a favorite anymore!  But I will leave my childhood memories alone and choose to remember them as yummy, along with the wax lips and Halloween fangs!!

These cute little Mini Pizza Boxes come in packages of 8 for $6 and they are the perfect size for giving gifts, 3'x3" Notecards and envelopes (pkg of 40, $9) and of course treats!  I packaged a few of the wax bottles in one of our 3'x6' gusset cello bag (pkg of 25, $4.50).  Just fold it over, secure with some washi tape, and then wrap a little strip of cardstock and designer series paper around it to secure with a belly band!  Simple and Easy!
For the Mini Pizza Box I chose to feature the DSP and cut strips to decorate the side edges of the box, layers for the top along with cutting out a couple bottle shapes from the fun DSP patterns too, added a little pop of a For You stamped image and called it ready to go!

You can find the Mini Pizza Boxes and Notecards in the Holiday Catalog section and the Gusset Cello Bags in the Annual Catalog.  Thanks for stopping by and shopping with me if I can assist with any of your stamping needs & wants!

Stamp Set and DSP - coming soon in the Occasions Catalog & SAB Brochure!

Thank You, you're the best!

Hi!

Happy HUMP Day!!  Hope you are having a great week!  Today I had to put Miss Rachel on a plane to Florida as she's attending her sorority's Grand Convention as a representative board member for her Univ of Az chapter.  She's pretty excited so I'm happy for her to have the experience.  It means for me that the house will be completely quiet for a few days with everyone gone.  I guess it's perfect time for me to focus on getting myself ready for our trip to Thailand!  Thanks to my amazing customers, awesome team members and a lot of hard work, I earned the SU incentive trip last year and it's almost time to get to enjoy it!

Maybe I'll get some stamping done in these next few days as well as some more organizing.  I'm finally able to start using my arms to lift again, as long as I can do it and feel no pain during or after.  Try being restricted to less than 5-10 lbs and waist high for 9-10 months --- quite the change and makes for some wimpy arm muscles!

Well, let's move along to today's sample!  A secondary option for a cute, quick Thank You card!

This card features the same Notecards & Envelopes, a strip of DSP, a touch of the 1/4" Stitched Edge Ribbon (Old Olive here), and stamped images on the envelope that were colored in with the watercolor pencils.  The greetings are from the All Things Thanks stamp set, a truly wonderful set I might add - yes, you need it!  And the top left is from the Mini Treat Bags thinlits, the banner tag and the bow, and those are popped up with dimensionals.

I hope you have enjoyed the samples I've shared!

Hugs

Rhonda

Thanks For Everything

Hello!

I just had a great few days over the weekend with my older brother who was in town for a business conference and then he extended his stay with us for a few extra days.  He is the first of my immediate family I have been able to see since being diagnosed with cancer, it was just great to get a hug from your big brother!  I can't wait to see my folks and younger brother when we travel back to Michigan for my oldest nephews wedding, but that's not until January!  And Dave's folks are coming for a trip in September so it'll be super nice to have them here as well!  We traveled right after my diagnosis to Omaha and visited Dave's sister Cyndi, so she was the first to give me hugs!  As I sit here after dropping Steve off at the airport it kind of just hits ya, family is family - just something about it.  I love and feel loved so much by so many friends for which I am truly blessed, and yes we do say and mean it that some friends are like family ... but there's a little something extra about family being family.  I'm sad he's gone and find my eyes teared up giving him a hug goodbye, but cancer has taught me to set aside the tears of sadness and turn them into tears of joy for the opportunity to have had the time with him!  So putting on a smile and drying my eyes!!

Anyhow, I know you're here for the pretty stamped stuff but I just wanted to share a little bit of life too!

I think these next couple of posts will probably close out the samples that I created for my On Stage presentation in San Diego in April.  So ... we have had a party banner, invitations, and treats so far - what else?  Why of course we need the all important THANK YOU's!!

Here's one version!

This card is one of our Whisper White Notecards and Envelopes.  I used a strip of DSP on both the top edge of notecard and the envelope to tie them into the same party theme!  The notecard has a few images stamped and I used the watercolor pencils to color them in.  Probably added some Wink of Stella as well!  The Thanks is from All Things Thanks stamp set, stamped in Pacific Point ink to coordinate with the 1/4" Stitched Edge ribbon as well  Cut out those circle layers with out Circle Layering Framelits.  Tah-dah!!

Stop by tomorrow for a second Thank You option!

Fall Fest, Awesome Friend

Hello there!

Here we are with one of my favorite SIMPLE cards from our Fall Fest event.  It features a band from the MOMENTS LIKE THESE Project Life by Stampin' Up! card collection that is layered over some background stamping with the Awesomely Artistic stamp set.  Such a subtle simple color scheme but to me the card really pops and it's really pretty in person!

For this particular Fall Fest we featured FIVE stamp sets in total along with a variety of other items like the PLxSU card collection kit and a dsp stack sampler.  We try to use all of the items across all of the sets to really show how versatile and complimentary our product offering can be.

Join us sometime if you are in the Phoenix area!

Fall Fest, follow your heart!

Howdy!

Here we are with another one of the projects from Fall Fest that featured the MOMENTS LIKE THESE Project Life by Stampin' Up! card collection!  These were super fun and quick to make!  I think I have a new favorite go to method now for quick but adorable cards!

This card uses 2 cards from the collection, and we have just trimmed the red hearts pattern to fit above the black dotted card panel, combining two cards for a quick and great background for our adorable little trailer image from You're Sublime!  Again stamped on the Shimmery White and watercolored in our image and popped it up!

Come back for more!
