Gift wrapping with LOVE

Hi Beauties~

How are your holidays coming along? Mine are coming along well, getting ready for 14 visitors this Christmas!!!


I have finally started wrapping some of my gifts and wanted to show you a few things I did to replace store bought bows. I wanted to jazz up my presents and give them just a special flare with inexpensive tree decorations and/or handmade crafts and bows.


Here is my quick video showing you what I did!

Now off to make some fudge, cookies and cupcake treats for my all our new neighbors!!!

DIY - Personal Gifts

Hi Beauties~

Are you searching for the perfect gift for a loved one? That gift might already be in your home. My husband, who loves to do marathons and mudder races has plenty of finisher medallions from his races. So for a quick and easy, personal and sentimental gift, I put placed and arrange them nicely in a shadowbox.


Now instead of having these guys tucked in a drawer, gym bag and wherever else they were set down after the race, they are out for display and shows him how proud I am of his accomplishments. There was hardly any money spent as I found the shadowbox at a garage sale brand-new a few months ago. This is a perfect gift that shows you care about your loved one and what they love. What could be better than that?

My new Pal - Breast Cancer Pocket Letter

Hi Beauties~

As you know, I am greatly enjoying these pocket letters. I'm not only enjoy creating them, but I enjoy the friends that I making along the way. I received this pocket letter from a new friend that lives in Las Vegas.


We decided to do a breast-cancer pocket letter. I had a great time making mine because it gave me time to reflect on the family members and friends who have battled and/or are battling breast cancer. I know it's not October but I feel we can remember hope and pray all throughout the year for everyone affected by breast cancer. I just love this pocket letter. It has so many great things in it like "fight like a girl" and "hope, finding joy in the journey". I also love all the little goodies that are in the pockets.


If you want to learn more about pocket letters and other crafty ideas, make sure to subscribe to this blog as well as my YouTube channel YouTube.com/Stampinupgirl (I made a video of this pocket letter and you can watch it at there)

Thank you so much for your friendship and loyalty!

Easy Peasy Organizing

Hi Beauties~

Well, we've been moved into this house for two weeks now. Last week we were out of town, so I have lived in my new house for one week and I already have a messy junk drawer.


Well, this just was not gonna work for me. So I made a quick trip to the dollar tree and grabbed a silverware caddy and found a home for all of this crazy mess.


aaaahhhh!!!!! Much better, don't you think? Now the rest of the week will be dedicated to getting my "office" aka Jean's Craft Room ready to be productive so I can bring you more videos, tutorials and more!!! If you want to see the full Dollar Tree Haul visit www.youtube.com/stampinupgirl

Target Dollar Spot now Bullseye Playground

Hi Beauties~


I have been so sad without all my inks and paper.  The time is coming soon for me to move into the new craft room.  Until then, as I wait for all the renovation work to be done in the house, I shop!!!  So this week, I went to the Bullseye Playground at Target (formerly know as the Dollar Spot).  I found so many great things at Target and picked up a small array of crafting items.  I am trying to give some variety on this channel, as many of my youtube.com/stampinupgirl subscribers have been asking for more crafty items and such.  I will try to explain in the heading, so for those of you only interested in Stampin' Up! will be able to decifer, if that days post is worth your read and time.  As always, I try to keep up with the times and post things that are interesting to me and want to pass on to you.  Thank you so much for being a reader and subscriber to my blogs and videos. Now, onto the Target Haul video!

How to Create a Pocket Letter

Hi Beauties~
Well, the carpet should be completely installed today (whoopee)!!!  That means that I will be able to move all my stamping and craft things into my new craft room.  And that means, I will be able to get back to showing more and more techniques to you.  I will be so happy, however, I have been able to learn new ideas in the crafting world myself.  It is pocket letters and Pocket letter pen pals.  This has allowed me to create and share.  I am really enjoying it and thought you may like it as well.  You know I am always up for a RAK (Random Acts of Kindness).  Pocket Pals are perfect for being able to share your love of crafting with someone else who shares your passion.  Here is one of the pocket letters that I created and wanted to share it with you.  This particular one is already in the mail and headed off to my new pal on the East coast.

I would suggest you give it a try, it really works well with Stampin' Up! and Project Life items as well.  I will surely be making many more of these!!! For now, here is a picture of the final pocket letter.


I wrapped it with card stock, so none of the goodies would fall out!

How to make your house smell yummy!

Hi Beauties~


I know its been a long time since my last posting, but can I say - I am so super swamped with the new house.  Can you believe that we still have not moved in.  We have painted the entire house and installed new floors as well (this was all on our own).  Now we are just waiting for the carpet guys to come and install the bedroom carpets and we will be moving in...whew... hopefully by next weekend we will be sleeping there instead of our tiny little condo.  So all my stamps are still packed away, so I figured I would show you my annual Stovetop Potpourri.  So if you are interested in making your whole house smell like it is Christmastime, watch this video below.  I know it's only the first week of November, but I am already ready already!!!

Can't wait to get back to stamping!  Even though my product is currently stored away, you can still order your online at my online store.

Washi Wednesday - Just a little

Hi Beauties~

Today's Washi Wednesday is just a quick and easy card. I used just a little bit of Washi Tape on this card as an accent. Just a little is making a big impact.





This card was made out of a project life card. I colored it in a little and then stamped the words with the Pretty Thankful stamp set.
Since this was on black cardstock, I wanted to make sure I could write on the inside and have it show up, so I used the same Hello Honey card as I did with the border on the front. I held this piece in place with just a couple strips of Washi Tape.





I hope you liked this quick and easy card using Washi Tape and Project Life cards!!!

Project Life Cards - half the work is already done!

Hi Beauties~

Are you looking for an easy way to make a quick card. I have found it… It's project life. I used one of the cards in project life to make this beautiful card for my hubby.




All I did was take one of the, already made, small cards and adhered it to a background paper and standard A2 card. Then I grabbed some accessories to "bling" it up a bit and viola, a great little card.

The Project Life "Love" set is perfect for a quick, yet elegant, wedding card.

There you have it, you too can create this great little gift bag. With the Gift Bag Punch Board, a stamp and a few embellishments.
