Stampin' Addicts Occasions Mini Blog Hop - Create a Cupcake

Welcome to another wonderful hop hosted by the demo's from Stampin' Addicts!! We are each featuring different stamp sets and accessories from the New Occasions mini!! Better get a pen and paper ready for all the things you will be adding to your must have list (not like I need any help)!!

If you are following the hop in order then you have just come from Barbara's Creative Stampin' Spot and saw all her wonderful project's using Bring on the Cupcake ... too cute!!

I will be showcasing the stamp set Create A Cupcake, this a great set for birthdays and the build a cupcake punch works perfectly with this set. That's one of my favorite things about Stampin' Up! is all the coordinating product. Anyways on to the projects!!

This is a little 3x3 card. it's a pretty simple card and would look great as a gift tag for those birthday gifts. I used the new pompom trim along one side of the card ... it's a fun dimensional little accent!!

This project was almost straight out of the mini catalog. I changed the rosettes to ribbon instead and added the button. I love how every mini and catalog is jam packed with ideas especially when you need something in a hurry!!

This last project is my favorite!!

It's a fun little pop up stand card!! This was so much fun to make!! I hope to make a tutorial shortly to show you all how to put it together! So keep an eye out for it. This card is 3 1/2x3 1/2 and to open the card you just take off the belly band on the right and when you flip the front of the card to the back you clip the silver clip to keep it standing up.

Hope you enjoyed my projects using Create a Cupcake and I hop you enjoy the rest of the hop. The next stop is Mary's Stamp and Scrap which she will be sharing some fantastic idea's using You're a Gem! Happy Stamping!!

Gift Cards Galore

Hope you all are having a Very Merry Christmas!! Just wanted to show you the different gift cards holders I made for my gift card gifts this year.

The top and bottom ones are for your average gift card size and the one in the middle is for those larger gift cards like I Tunes. Enjoy your day and Happy Stamping!!

Gift Ideas

I have been wanting to make one of those tissue box holders forever and finally got the chance to make this one.

I do have to say it took me awhile to make and I am not sure why as they are really simple. This one I gave to my mom to use for the Holiday season.

This cocoa gift set I made for my Secret Santa gift over on splitcoast. I made it using the Box #2 die and cutting 2 of the them, I then tape then together back to back. Very simple and it cam out super cute!! Happy Stamping!

Serene Snowflakes Galore

Like I said before I tend to make cards on the fly with whatever happens to be on my desk and Serene Snowflakes has been there for awhile now.

The top three uses the Northern Flurry embossing folder and the last one uses the Vintage Wallpaper one. the last 2 are my favorite!! Happy Stamping!

Quick and Simple Gift Bag

Here is a simple but cute gift bag using the mini craft bags. These were made by Judi for our Christmas class. I'll be saving mine to use again and again. Happy Stamping!!

Simple Christmas Case

I got this idea from a card I had seen at convention, the only thing that same is the layout otherwise I changed everything else.


I was trying to figure out how it was embossed with the secondary color so I made a couple of cards to figure it out. The top card I just rubbed on my ink after I had embossed the paper using the Vintage Embossing folder. That wasn't quite right so I rubbed my ink onto the folder directly for the second one and it worked! So you rub the ink on the folder that is indented which is the side that usually has the sizzix/SU logos. Happy Stamping!!

Paper Ornament and Card

Here is a simple card that would also be cute as a gift tag.

It measures about 2 1/2 by 3 1/2.

Here is the paper ornament I made for my tree this year.

It was really simple to put together and again uses dimensional folds scallop "technique". I have a tutorial I will have ready after Christmas showing how I do it. It looks great with my paper cone ornaments!! Happy Stamping!
