How about a little Halloween Gift box that spells out “Boo” as you turn it? Easy, easy to make with the new Gift Box punch board and the Larger Than Life stamp set!
On the 4th side I added the skeleton from Freaky Friends –
I did the images in White Craft ink – and I think the next time I’ll emboss them so they stand out even more. But it’s a cute, fast idea for small candies and I’m going to need a few of them. Hugs, Fran
Holiday Mini fun! When I first saw this set – Santa Stache – I wasn’t sure what I thought! After a bit of playing around with the set and matching mustache die, I think it’s fun! So here is a case of the catalog sample with a few changes using the set, die and blendabilities.
Supplies
Stamp Set – Santa Stache, Christmas Bliss
Card stock – Whisper White, Under the Tree DSP
Ink – Memento Tux Black, Cherry Cobbler
Etc – Mustache die, Cherry Cobbler and skin tone Blendabilities
This is the reverse of what usually happens to me. Usually I love a set and then can’t figure out how to use it – so I’m happy! Hugs, Fran
Here’s a project that I did for the Splitcoast Creative Crew 🙂 The challenge is for the Scrapbook and More Focus: Make a treat and package it. Come play with us!
I used Wondrous Wreath and the new Cafe Bags to make this. First I ran the bag through the Big Shot using the Woodgrain embossing folder then I stamped the wreath. I punched a tiny hole using the smallest hand held punch to attach the Wooden Essential leaf. All the supplies are listed here.
Wondrous Wreath has a matching die set and markers on the stamps so you can line them up. It’s very easy to do. The tag on the bag was made with For All Things which is a beautiful Fall set. You can play along with all the challenges this month by heading here –

Today’s the day you can start ordering from the Holiday Mini! The Gift Box Punch Board (135863) is my favorite product in the catalog. Here is a little box made with the Under the Tree Specialty Designer Series Paper and Get Your Santa on stamp set for the tag. I used the Cherry Cobbler Blendabilities to color the Santa and Cherry Cobbler ink to stamp the “JOY” banner. Tied up with new Cherry Cobbler Linen ribbon, you have a sweet package to hold your gift! Have fun making your Holiday Mini List and checking it twice! Your package is sure to be nice 🙂 Hugs, Fran
Isn’t this a pretty stamp set? It’s called Ornamental Pine and will be available in two days in the Holiday Mini! I used Lost Lagoon as the base, stamped the background with the pine several times and then embossed the pine and pinecone in white embossing powder. To finish it off, I sprayed the entire card with shimmer spray.
Supplies
Stamp Sets – Ornamental Pine
Card stock – Lost Lagoon, Whisper White, Brushed Silver
Ink – Versamark, Lost Lagoon, Cherry Cobbler
Etc – white embossing powder, silver ribbon, shimmer spray
I think this will be one of my favorite stamp sets this season. Hugs, Fran
My favorite new thing in the Holiday Mini? The Gift Box Punch Board of course! This wonderful tool makes the cutest boxes is many sizes – the largest being 4 x 4. Here I used the new Under the Tree Specialty Designer Series paper to create a Christmas box. The paper is really heavy – perfect for these boxes! Around the sides I added trees. There is a new punch in the mini that makes trees – but these were made with the banner punch. I topped it off with the new Mingle All the Way stamp set and the Banner Framelits.
Supplies
Stamp Set – Mingle All the Way
Card stock – Under the Tree DSP, Whisper White. Garden Green DSP, Not Quite Navy
Ink – Jet Black Stazon
Etc – Stampin Write markers (Real Red, Garden Green, Not Quite Navy) Gift Box Punch Board, Pennant punch, Banner Framelits, Cherry Cobbler Linen ribbon, Linen thread
Don’t forget that you still have 5 days left to join Stampin Up and get $150 of product for $99! That’s a great deal! Hugs, Fran
Boo bags! These cute bags are made with the Polka Dot Ta A Bag Gift Bags. I stamped “Boo” with the Larger Than Life Alphabet and made a tag with Freaky Friends. The tag is clipped on with one of the In Color Clothespins. This is the first one I did – then I realized that when filled, the “boo” no longer shows. To fix that, I moved the words up about 1 inch.
And added some bats 🙂
Supplies
Stamp Sets – Freaky Friends, Larger Than Life
Card stock – Bermuda Bay/Tangerine Tango, Whisper White, Motley Monsters DSP
Ink – Jet Black Stazon
Etc – Polka Dot Gift Bags, Fun Frames embossing folders, In Color Mini Clothespins
These will be fun to hand out! Hugs, Fran
Joyful Christmas is one of the sets on the Christmas carry over list, and the list ends on August 27th! So get it while you can! This is an easy version of the card, stamped in Versamark and embossed in gold. I added gold washi tape to give it some sparkle.
Stamp Set – Joyful Christmas

This was one of the most versatile sets in last year’s mini. Don’t let it get away from you! Hugs, Fran
