In honor of Shannon West’s (from Stampin Up) campaign – I’m Bring Birthday’s back – this month’s Creative Circle Blog Hop is a darling, perpetual calendar!

The box has two cubes that can be rotated for the days of the month (remember that the 6 is also the 9), a flip top for the months, and a space int he back to hold your birthday cards so you can actually mail them out! (I am the worse!)

I used the Whisper White Heavy card stock and the It’s My Party Designer Series Paper Pack to make mine. This paper stack has 48 sheets of double sided paper in it! My balloons on the front are from Balloon Celebration and are punched out with the matching Balloon Bouquet Punch.

This card uses the bow from the Cutie Pie Thinlit, more It’s My Party paper and the Elegant Dot embossing folder.

This card uses the Picture Perfect stamp set and Blushing Bride.

And last, but not least, this card uses the Bokeh technique. You can find it on Splitcoast here.

This is a special blog hop! In April, the Creative Circle Team will be doing a Make the Rounds class the day before the Stampin Up On Stage event in Salt Lake City AND doing a Kit To Go option. Here’s a sneak peek of the class. It includes the box and 3 cards-

This is the card holder/box for the class.

For this month’s challenge I’m going to show you an alternate way to use the kit from the upcoming class.

For this design I used the box, fence and grass from the kit. The Birthday Bouquet Designer Series paper is from the Occasions Mini The eggs are made with the Oval Framelits. This is the side view –

The “flaps” are only attached on the bottom so the box opens like this –

I used a small piece of velcro to close the top of the box. Here’s another design –

The stamp set is Balloon Celebration from the Occasions Mini. I used the Balloon Bouquet punch for the balloons. It opens the same way.

Make sure to hop over and see what the rest of the team has made! Hugs, Fran

Welcome to February’s Creative Circle Blog Hop. This month is all about hearts.

I chose Groovy Love and Hello Life stamp sets with the new Watermelon Wonder ribbon for my card. The background is the Happy Hearts embossing folder. This is a cute Valentine – but can also be used for any other occasion.

Make sure to check out the rest of the Creative Circle – and find more ways to use hearts! Hugs, Fran

Creative Circle January You’ve Got Mail and Give Away

This month’s Creative Circle Challenge is You’ve Got Mail – a darling mailbox perfect for Valentine’s Day. Here’s my first mailbox!

My card holding mailbox is made from Melon Mambo card stock and the Brights Designer Series Paper Stack. The lid and flap are done with stencil paste and the Hearts and Stars Decorative Mask.

My cards that fit inside the mailbox are made with No Bones About It. The mailbox easily holds (3) 3 x 3 cards and (3) 4 1/4 x 5 1/2 cards.

These cards were inspired by an “x-ray” card I saw on Splitcoast by Janet Holmes. I thought the idea was so cute!

The little 3 x 3’s fit through the opening under the flap.

Then I switched gears and made a mailbox without the card dividers inside and a window sheet over the opening to hold candy.

For this one, I used Sweet Lil’ Things Designer Series paper and the sentiment from the Occasions Mini set – Greatest Greetings. I punched hearts from every punch I could dig up in my craft room! They are glittered with Dazzling Details.

So now you can choose – cards or treats – or mix it up a bit and do both!
