Halloween Treat Holders

It’s that time of year to prepare for Halloween!  In today’s post, I have two Halloween treat holders tutorials for you.  Both use the Online Exclusive Potion & Spells bundle.  The Halloween Spells Designer Series Paper is a new release and can be found in the Patterned Paper section in the Online Store. 

The Toil and Trouble small Kit Kat treat holder is very quick to assemble.  The treat holder is not just for small Kit Kit bars but will also hold a variety of small candy bars.  The Cauldron treat holder does take a little bit more time to create.  However, it’s size allows you to add a small cellophane bag filled with treats.  The tutorial links for both of these Halloween treat holders can be found below the project photos.  

Note: The Potions & Spells Bundle is currently unavailable but will be back in stock the week of October 14.

Christmas In July 2024 – Season of Green & Gold Double Box Fun Fold

Presenting a double box fun fold card using products in the Season of Green & Gold Suite Collection. This is project four of Christmas in July 2024. The Season of Green & Gold Suite Collection is an Online Exclusive product from Stampin’ Up! Using the coordinating two stamp bundles in the suite along with the gorgeous Seasons of Green & Gold Designer Series Paper makes it easy to create a beautiful card. The double box fun fold card design is perfect, especially for special cards. The design allows recipients to easily stand the card for display. Even better, the card folds flat allowing it to be inserted into a basic envelope for mailing.

Simply Zinnia Fun Fold Card

Wow! Can you believe we’re approaching the end of May?  It’s been an interesting month here in Georgia as for the past month, we have been serenaded by the cicadas.  The 13 year and 17 year made a joint appearance.  In addition to their loud noise, it wasn’t unusual to have one or more fly into you when outdoors. Fortunately this week it has quieted, so it seems the mating ritual has ended in Georgia.  Were the cicadas present where you live?  Now onto details about today’s card…

Today’s project features products from the Flowering Zinnia Suite Collection which includes the Simply Zinnia Bundle.  The Flowering Zinnia Designer Series Paper and the 3D Zinnia Embossing Folder.  These products are Online Exclusives meaning the products are available to view in the online Stampin’ Up! store and not in a catalog.  For the May card classes (in person and kits to go classes), all Online Exclusive bundles were used. 

A fun fold card featuring the Simply Zinnia Bundle.

This fun fold card design is unique.  It looks like a regular card but when opened, there’s a side panel.  And of course, the side panel allows for more embellishing!

Sending Cheer Christmas Gift Tags

It’s two weeks until Christmas…are your gifts wrapped yet? I still have gifts to wrap but am ready with gift tags for the presents. In last month’s card class, we made Christmas gift tags using the Sending Cheer Bundle from the Sept-Dec. Mini Catalog from Stampin’ Up! Combining the Sending Cheer Christmas gift tags with the Tailor Made Tags Dies makes creating quick and easy. Need multiples?…It’s a breeze to do! To add “a little extra” use the Christmas Tidings Embossing Folder but you can substitute with any embossing folder.

If you haven’t purchased the Sending Cheer Bundle – act fast! It’s on the Last Chance retiring list. It may not arrive in time to use for this Christmas but you’ll have it for next year. Plus there are elements appropriate for year round use. In addition, the Christmas Tidings Embossing Folder is also retiring and is currently discounted too.

Three Christmas gift tags using the Sending Cheer Bundle and the Tailor Made Tag Dies from Stampin' Up!
Cut Dimensions:
  •  Basic White Cardstock: (3) 2-1/4″ x 4-1/4″ for tag die cuts; 2″ x 4″ (3) for stamping
  • Real Red Cardstock: 2-1/4″ x4-1/4″ (tag die cut), scrap for sentiment layering
