Hi Beauty~

Well another week has come and gone, but this week, the LOVE continues on.  It's Valentine's Week and that means plenty of hearts!!!  This week's 365 Create Happy Planner Layout isn't any different.  I know many of you will have the same thought as I do, because, let's face it... We love LOVE, Hearts and someone special (even if it's a fur baby someone special).  So enough chatter, here is this week's Plan With Me spread.

And of course, here is the video with lot's of chit chat and planning.

I hope you like it and plan along with me.  I am in the process of creating a monthly Planner Kit, that can be purchased.  I will have that out soon, so be on the lookout for it!  Until then Happy Planning in you Happy Planner, Filofax, Erin Condren, Recollections, Dollar Tree Planner or any planner that works best for YOU!  Thank you for being a TRUE BEAUTY!!!

DIY Apothecary Jars for only $2.00

Hi Beauties~

I am having so much fun making these Do It Yourself Apothecary Jars.  I use just two items from the Dollar tree and some paint and glue that I have on hand.  I am totally loving the look.  I will continue to look for different style jars to see what other designs I can make, but for now  Here is the first one I made so far.

Isn't that fun looking?  Imagine having many of them with either different items in them or maybe even painted a different color.  They would make cute DIY Gift Ideas with items that the receiver would like. The ideas are endless.  Of course, you won't believe how quick and easy it is to make.  Here is a video showing you how I did it.

The longest part of making this was only waiting for the paint to dry.  If you try to make one of these yourself.  Please let me know by tagging #BeautyandtheStamper on Instagram.  I love to see all the things you all make.

A new little one is on his way!!!

Hi Beauties~

I am getting ready for my newest grandbaby.  So we will celebrate with a shower. 

I made these cute little favors for each lady who will attend. 

Please see below on how I made these very quick and easy, yet still very pretty and special.  The tag attached will have the following saying:

"Burn this tea light on the night
Once the stork has made its flight
With a flicker of the flame
Please say a prayer in Wyatt's name"

 

~ My daughter found this idea on Pinterest, so I am not sure who to give credit to for the poem and idea, but whoever it is, THANK YOU!!!

See the video below to see how fast and easy it was to make these.

Love is surely in the air, in this week's Plan With Me series.  Love of Chocolate that is... My stickers are all scratch & sniff and my planner smells yummy enough to eat! Here is my finished layout along with another picture of what my grandson added to the planner.

Washi Wednesday - Faux Washi Technique

Happy Washi Wednesday!!!  As promised, I am going to show you how I got the look of Washi tape with just some copy paper, Stampin' Up! Paper Trimmer, stamps and ink.

I am loving this new trick I found to make my own faux looking Washi Tape.  Here is a sneak preview of the technique.  Tune in tomorrow to my YouTube channel www.youtube.com/stampinupgirl to find out how I did this.  Make sure to subscribe to this blog and to my YouTube channel, so you will never miss any of my tips, techniques and great specials.

Here is another cute little label.  Can you tell me which punch I used to get this label?

Also, remember to think outside the box when creating you greeting cards and scrapbooks.  I used the round array stamp set here.  The close-up below I used to create the middle of this beautiful flower.

Hope you enjoyed today's Stamping tips.  See you tomorrow to show you how I created the faux washi tape.

Washi Wednesday - Halloween Greeting Card

Hi Beauties~

I am falling in L-O-V-E with Washi Tape.  So much so, that I think I want to try something new with Washi Tape each week.  For my maiden Washi voyage, I am trying something very easy... a simple Halloween card.  Here is the Halloween card I made using the Witches' Brew Washi Tape from the Stampin' Up! Holiday Catalog.

 

See this card made by watching the video below 

  Wasn't that fun?

Attach embellishments to your projects with style! 3 designs per package; 3/8", 1/2", 5/8" widths. 5 yards of each design. Acid free, lignin free. Coordinates with our Witches' Brew Designer Series Paper. Here is a little random information I found on Washi - ENJOY! Washi (和紙) is a style of paper that was first made in Japan. Washi is commonly made using fibers from the bark of the gampi tree, the mitsumata shrub (Edgeworthia chrysantha), or the paper mulberry, but also can be made using bamboo, hemp, rice, and wheat. Washi comes from wa meaning Japanese and shi meaning paper, and the term is used to describe paper made by hand in the traditional manner.
