Today I would like to bring your attention to our Needlepoint Nook Suite available in the Occasions Catalog. Stampin’ Up! always puts together some wonderful suites and this one is no different. You can create some lovely needlepoint projects using this suite. Also, our suites always coordinate to help you create a perfect project. If you can dream it, you can make it with all the products working together. Therefore, take a look at these products in action in the video below. George also shares how the design artists created the suite.
With Sale-a-Bration still going on (through the end of March), you can get these products and take advantage of the sale so it’s a winning combination. All the products are available through my online store.
Be sure to check back on Wednesday. I will be sharing a project using the Needle & Thread Bundle.
Remember Animal Crackers? As a young child, it was always a treat to receive a box of the animal shaped cookies. On a recent trip to the grocery, I spied the Animal Crackers on the cookie aisle and childhood memories returned. Therefore, two boxes were quickly added to my shopping cart – one for each grandchild. Like any gift, a tag is necessary! Therefore, the Animal Crackers Gift Tags were created. Just look at the box front – there ‘s a gorilla and a giraffe! Using the box design as my inspiration, I knew the Hey Love stamp set from the Occasions catalog and the Animal Outing stamp set in the Annual Catalog would be perfect to use for creating the gift tags.
Both my grandson and granddaughter enjoyed their box of Animal Crackers. Did they really notice the gift tag? Probably not but since the tags were quick to make, I was not offended. But it sure was fun “dressing up” the Animal Crackers boxes! Details for creating the tags is below.
Materials:
Hey Love Cling Stamp Set
Animal Outing Stamp Set
Whisper White cardstock (great use of scraps – one piece 3″ x 3″ for giraffe, one piece 2-1/2″ x 2-1/2″ for gorilla, one 1-1/4″ x 1-1/4″ for tag)
Daffodil Delight cardstock (2 – 3″ x 3″ pieces)
Tropical Escape Designer Series Paper (2-3/4′ x 2-3/4″) or select a favorite Designer Series Paper to layer behind Gorilla circle
On Whisper White cardstock squares, use the Jet Black Stazon Ink to stamp the gorilla and sentiment tag. On the larger square, stamp the giraffe off to the side leaving room to stamp the sentiment .
Color the gorilla using the watercolor pencils and blender pen.
Use the Stampin’ Blends to color the giraffe.
Cut both pieces of the Daffodil Delight cardstock with the large Stitched Shapes Circle Framelit. This becomes the base layer.
The “I’m Ape Over You” sentiment is cut with the small Stitched Shapes Circle Framelit.
With the 2-1/4″ punch, punch the gorilla circle.
Cut the giraffe and the Designer Series Paper with the Layering Circles Framelits.
Use snail adhesive to attach the giraffe circle to one of the Daffodil Delight cardstock circles.
Layer each of the pieces for the gorilla tag and attach each layer using snail adhesive. Refer to photo for placement of the sentiment and attach using a mini-dimensional.
Punch a small hole for the ribbon in top of each tag using the handheld punch. Cut desired length of ribbon and baker’s twine to feed through hole and tie to box handle.
The next time you are in the grocery, cruise down the cookie aisle and slip a couple of boxes of Animal Crackers into your cart! Then have some fun creating tags for the boxes!
