Hearts come home at Christmas, and for many people, home at Christmas includes SNOW! Today’s card features Stampin’ Up! Embossing Paste being used as snow. This simple technique gives the card a little added texture, and the Palette Knives made it super easy.

Okay. I’ve gotta have one. How do I get in line?
With the launch of this tool, we’re trying something different: testing a new reservation system. It acts like a true preorder: you reserve your spot and we guarantee shipment as soon as the product arrives in our warehouse. Demonstrators and customers will place reservations and receive their product at the same time. This system will allow us to get the product to market as soon as possible while avoiding backorders and efficiently managing inventory.
The global launch will feature two reservation windows. The remaining window is December 5-30, 2017. The tools will ship in the order in which the reservations are received, so order soon! This is the last chance you’ll have to order the Stamparatus until the 2018-2019 Annual Catalog goes live in June 2018. Unless you join my team, in which case you’ll be able to preorder from the new Annual Catalog in May!
For each reservation window, please note the following:
Limit is 1 tool per person per reservation window.
Customers may participate in both reservation windows.
In order to reserve your Stamparatus, you are required to provide your credit card information, so have it handy.
Credit cards will not be charged until the Stamparatus ships from our facility. When you close your order, be sure to verify that your credit card and shipping information is correct.
Today I’m sharing one of the Make & Take projects from last week’s Candy Hearts team meeting. You can see the swap cards from that meeting here. I used the new Merry Patterns stamp set, the one you get with a qualifying order until October 31. Find out more HERE.

Welcome to InKing Royalty’s September Blog Hop! Today’s Tricked Out Treats Blog Hop is filled with spooky, fun projects for Halloween. We are excited to share our creations with you today and hope these projects inspire you. After you read my post, I hope you’ll hop over to the next person on the list at the base of this post.
Today’s project falls under the category of “simple projects.” You could whip out a bunch of these little treat bags in no time, plenty enough for all your Trick-or-Treaters, neighbors, coworkers, friends, the mailman,… anyone really. The large stamped image is from the Creep It Real stamp set, which contains several fun Halloweeny images and sentiments. Take a look:
Basic Black card stock (CS) cut to 3″ x 3″, and scored in half at 1-1/2″
Pumpkin Pie CS cut to 1-3/4″ x 3″
Stamped with the Creep it Real stamp set:
mouth image in Basic Black ink onto a piece of Whisper White CS (I used regular Whisper White CS, but you can use the Thick Whisper White CS for more stability.
Colored using Stampin’ Write Markers:
lips in Real Read
gums in a lighter shade of Real Red , using a Blender Pen
Cut using Paper Snips:
mouth image
Assembled the treats bag:
put Pumpkin Pie CS in bottom of a 3″ x 6″ Gusseted Cellophane Bag to help keep it flat
put candy corn into the bag
folded over the top of the bag, folded Basic Black CS over it, and stapled it on
top of mouth image glued onto the Basic Black CS
That’s it!

On the TA September Blog Hop, we are sharing some of our favorite products from the 2017 Holiday Catalog. It’s impossible for me to narrow it down to just one…or two…or three… But for today I decided to go with the Merry Little Christmas Mega Suite.
There are so many wonderfully coordinated products in this suite, for card making AND gift wrapping! It includes the Merry Little Labels Bundle (Merry Little Labels stamp set and Everyday Label Punch,) the Carols of Christmas Bundle (Carols of Christmas stamp set and Card Front Builder Thinlits Dies,) Merry Little Christmas Designer Series Paper (DSP) and coordinating 12″ x 12″ card stock (CS) pack, Merry Music Specialty DSP, 7/8″ Striped Ribbon, Acetate Card Boxes, Green Sprigs, Jute Twine, and Mini Ornaments. Holy cow, that’s a lot of cool stuff!
Here’s what I made:
I used some of the products from the Mega Suite to make this gift box
Here’s what I did:
Cut and scored with my Stampin’ Trimmer:
12″ x 12″ Kraft card stock (CS) scored 3″ from each side, then one score line at each corner cut (the center section should be 6″ x 6″)
Merry Little Christmas Designer Series Paper (DSP) cut to 9-9/16″ x 9-9/16″, then scored 1-3/4″ from each side, then one score line at each corner cut (the center section should be 6-1/16″ x 6-1/16″)
This is the same basic diagram for both pieces. Cut solid lines and score dotted lines.
Stamped with the Merry Little Labels stamp set:
sentiment in Basic Black ink onto a scrap of Kraft CS
Die cut using the Stitched Shapes Framelits:
sentiment with an oval die
Die cut using the Layering Ovals Framelits:
scalloped oval from Basic Black CS, just a little bigger than the sentiment oval
Assembled the box:
folded all score lines on both pieces of paper and burnished with a Bone Folder
glued the tab at each corner to the inside of the adjacent side – do this for all four corner and for both pieces of paper
put the lid on the box, then wrapped Jute Twine around it and tied a bow
glued the sentiment oval onto the Basic Black CS scalloped oval
adhered the sentiment to the top of the box using Stampin’ Dimensionals, being careful not to put any along the center, so the twine can slide underneath

I like to decorate my whole house for Halloween. I even want the tissue boxes to be Halloweeny. The Spooky Night Designer Series Paper with witch hats on it seemed perfect for a cute and festive, yet spooky tissue box cover. And it’s so easy, you just won’t believe it. It’s almost like wrapping a gift. This is one of the vertical cube-like tissue boxes (about 4-1/2″ on each side and 5″ tall) but you can certainly apply the same method to the long, horizontal boxes.
Here’s what I made:
Here’s what I did:
Cut and scored with my Stampin’ Trimmer:
Spooky Night Designer Series Paper (DSP) cut to 12″ x 4-1/2″
DSP cut to 6-1/2″ x 4-1/2″
DSP cut to 8-1/2″ x 8-1/2″ for the top
Die cut using the Layering Ovals Framelits:
Selected three sized of oval dies, the smallest of which was almost as big at the hole in the top of the box
Pumpkin Pie card stock (CS) cut with the middle sized die, then the center cut out with the smallest die
Basic Black CS cut with the largest die, then the center cut out with the smallest die
cut a hole in the center of the 8-1/2″ x 8-1/2″ piece of DSP with the smallest of the three dies
Assembled the cover:
Be sure not to make the cover too tight, or it will be too difficult to remove it and put it on a new box
the two 4-1/2″ strips of DSP wrapped around the box and glued together at both ends – be careful not to glue the DSP to the box itself, unless you want it to be permanent, instead of a removable box cover
the 8-1/2″ x 8-1/2″ piece of DSP centered on top of the box and folded down the sides, then burnished the creases with a bone folder
cut one crease line at each corner with Paper Snips, then put it back on top of the box with the first DSP pieces wrapped around the sides of the box – be sure the sides pieces go all the way down to the bottom of the box
top piece of tissue box cover, fold dotted lines and cut solid lines
glue the folded over bits of DSP to the sides, tucking the corner pieces under the adjacent side.
adhered ribbon with Tear & Tape, being sure to cover the seam where the two pieces of DSP meet.
Pumpkin Pie CS oval glued onto the Basic Black CS oval, lining up the center holes
Basic Black CS oval glued onto the top of the DSP box cover, lining up the center holes
