Thanks for stopping by today, and Sweet Stamping!
Yesterday I shared with you my project for the 3D Dinner & Swap in Salt Lake City. You can see that post here. Today I’m excited to show you some of the amazing projects I received in the swap.
Karen Oster made this sweet little bag containing a bag of Hershey Kisses.
This adorable purse made by Sherri Brown opens up completely. It’s a 12″ x 12″ sheet of Designer Series Paper, scored and folded. She added a Velcro dot to keep it closed.
This sweet Mini Treat Bag made by Brenda Bierens contained a teapot shaped lollipop and some little candies with teapots on the wrappers.
Monika Davis’ little bear box contained a bag of tiny gummy bears. Isn’t it adorable?
Debbie Callon’s cellophane bag is adhered to the inside of the folded card stock.
Diane Squires made this Kraft Tag a Bag folded in half to make an extra pocket. There were chocolates in the back pocket and a card in the front.
Penny Nelson’s little bag contains a tag that is folded on the end so it will pull out a gift card.
Jeanna Kay made this cute little bag and tag using the Going Places suite of products. The star-shaped cookies are the perfect accompaniment.
I wanted to be sure you saw all four sides of Elaine Laycock’s Curvy Keepsake Box, since they’re all decorated differently.
This sweet little shopping bag made by Yvonne Sutton contained earrings made with the Botanical Garden Jewels.

No, it isn’t an exotic dish you’d see on one of those cooking challenge shows. It’s much simpler. It’s a Polka Dot Cone Bag filled with Tangerine flavored jelly beans, and tied with Wild Wasabi Seam Binding and Old Olive Baker’s Twine, to look like a carrot.
This is the third and final Easter project from the March Stamp Club gathering. To see the previous two, click here and here.
This is just about as quick and easy as they come. Put a level 1/3 cup of jelly beans, or other small treats, into the bag. Twist the top to close, and tie with a piece of Wild Wasabi Seam Binding Ribbon.
Stamp the sentiment (we used this one from the Circle of Spring stamp set) on a piece of Whisper White card stock and cut it with the 1-1/4″ Circle Punch. Punch a small hole with the 1/8″ Circle Punch to make a tag. Use Old Olive Baker’s Twine to tie the tag onto the bag.
And that’s it! These provide a lot of bang for the buck. They’re super quick and easy, and make wonderful favors.
Here’s what we used:
Today I’m sharing with you another project we made during our March Stamp Club gathering. You can see the first project here. This Easter Basket made with the Berry Basket Bigz Die is much easier than it might look.
First we assembled the basket using Crumb Cake card stock for the body and So Saffron CS for the handle and trim. We attached the handle with Tiny Brads, so it can be rotated out of the way to fill the basket. The Piercing Tool and Stampin’ Pierce Mat are perfect for creating the tiny holes.
We scored a 4″ x 12″ piece of Old Olive CS along the long side at 3″, 6″, and 9″. Then we cut along the long side with Fringe Scissors, cutting with the full length of the blades to make long blades of grass. We taped the two ends together to make a square, then inserted it into the basket. We curled and scrunched the blades of grass to hang over the basket’s edges.
We used a Gusseted Cellophane Bag to hold treats and tied it with a piece of Pacific Point Stitched Satin Ribbon. Since the bag is very tall, we tucked the top of it down behind the bag. You could also cut the top of the bag, but we opted to tuck it so the eggs would be more visible.
We cut eggs from the Pretty Petals Designer Series Paper Stack and from So Saffron CS using the Extra Large Oval Punch. We stamped the sentiment from the Teeny Tiny Wishes stamp set in Pacific Point on the So Saffron egg. We glued the eggs to a piece of Old Olive CS cut to fit into the basket and tapered to create a stacked shape.
Note: this sample also has a couple of Pacific Point/Whisper White eggs (top and bottom right) cut from the Brights Designer Series Paper Stack.
We tucked the egg stack into the back of the basket, and voila, an Easter Basket! Wouldn’t your loved ones enjoy receiving their Easter goodies in this?

This weekend I’m in Phoenix, AZ, spending some quality time with, and learning a lot from, some wonderful Stampin’ Up! Demonstrators from all over the country. Lisa Pretto of InkBig Academy is the organizer and leader of the weekend. I thought one of the projects we made in the January Bloomin’ Love Bundle Class would be a perfect thank you gift for her, so today I’m sharing that with you.
The sour cream containers – so called because single servings of sour cream usually come in containers shaped like this – are incredibly easy to make, even though they look much more complicated.
For today’s container, I started with a sheet from the Love Blossoms Designer Series Paper Stack. The 6″x6″ size is perfect for this project, so no cutting required!
On the side of the paper that will be on the inside of the container, I put strong adhesive (I recommend Tear & tape or Fast Fuse) along three of the edges. Then I rolled the paper and adhered the two sides together to create a tube.
NOTE: If the paper design has a definite direction, make sure you put the adhesive along the top and bottom edges and along one side edge.
I pinched the bottom end closed, with the seam along one edge of the bottom.
I used a gusseted bag and twine from the Filled With Love Paper Pumpkin Kit Refill and filled it with Candy Hearts. This and other past Paper Pumpkin kits and refills are available for purchase to any current Paper Pumpkin subscriber.
I pinched the top of the container closed, with the seam in the center of the top. This created the interesting shape, with one end flat in one direction and the other end flat in the other direction.
NOTE: Don’t over fill the bag before putting it into the container. It should be skinny enough to insert without it getting caught on the adhesive around the interior edge of the container.
I stamped the word FRIEND, from the Bloomin’ Love stamp set, in Rose Red on a piece of Whisper White card stock, then punched it out with the Sweetheart Punch. I used the same punch to cut a heart out of Blushing Bride Glimmer Paper. Then I glued the two hearts together.
I used the heart punch from the Itty Bitty Accents Punch Pack to cut two hearts each from two different designs in the Love Blossoms DSP Stack and from Rose Red CS. I glued them together along a length of Whisper White Baker’s Twine, sandwiching the twine between the two hearts, and tied the twine around one of the gold clips from the same Filled With Love PP kit refill.
I used the clip to attach the two glued-together hearts as well as a gold heart doily and length of pearl trim from the Love Blossoms Embellishment Kit. The layers make it look much more complicated that it really is.
Here’s what I used today. Click on the images below to get what you need to make your own sweet sour cream container!

Prepaid Paper Pumpkin subscriptions make fantastic gifts. I got several of my family members subscriptions last year, and I gave them their first kit all wrapped up. This year I gave them subscription renewals, so I made these cards to let them know to expect more kits in the coming months.
I’ve been saving the pumpkin cards that come in each of my kits. I used Stampin’ Dimensionals to attach them to the fronts of 5″ x 6″ Pool Party card stock card bases. I wrote a personal note inside each one with my Real Red Stampin’ Write Marker.
I used my Envelope Punch Board to make the perfect size envelopes out of Real Red Envelope Paper.
I gave each card in a gift bag with some new stamping tools.
I love sharing my love of stamping, and Paper Pumpkin is such an easy way to do that. Consider giving subscriptions to your family and friends for birthdays, Christmas, or any other occasion.
