Holiday Scrap Tins Make Great Presents

"Simply Scrappin Kits are awesome!! This one is christmas Jungle for ONLY$19.95 PG. 164-167
They include 6 sheets of designer double sided paper (3) of each and 8 (2) each textured cardstock. This is my favorite part you receive 6 sheets (2) each of die cut adhesives (stickers).
The die cut adhesives alone would total over $20 bucks in a local craft store!
I used a chipboard holiday ball on the front with designer paper to cover it with a die cut adhesive with the Reindeer in the middle. I have some of that rope twine left from last years Holiday Mini and I love it!!
This scrappin kit has two completely different looks you can go with. that is what I love about Stampin' Up! they never fail to surprise me when I really look at the paper and how it all inter twines with the embellishments, cardstock, stamps, ribbon and you find it all in one place .
This scrap tin has the NEW DASHER stamp versamarked on they front two pages, I love DASHER! He is fun to do the fading technique!
He really should have been called Prancer he's very prancy!! LOL
I think this scrap tin is very rich, deep and classy.
What do you think? Leave your comments below!!

This one has the 3D Snow flake on the front as the focal point with designer paper and chipboard ran through the BIG SHOT at the same time so it fits perfectly just adhere it together and I used designer paper and die cut adhesives on the middle.


This one has old olive and real red throughout vs the deep garden green,
and the funny part is it just on the other side of the paper in the kit!
Boy, this is alot of work. I sold 8 this week at the market so I have to restock and prepare for my upcoming crop shows this month!

**Remember all Simply Scrappin Kits can be custom ordered for you or you can purchase the tutorial for $24.95 it includes directions to prep the kit and assembly directions as well as the link to the wholesaler to order the DVD tins that fit this pattern! So you can make your own Holiday gifts!

NEW Sweet Treats From Stampin' Up!

This is my first adventure with the NEW stamp set Sweet Treats coming out in the Holiday Mini Catty TOMORROW!! You can begin ordering from it.
Supplies:
Cardstock: Black, Perfect Plum, Cast a Spell Designer Paper(pg.161)
Stamps:Sweet Treats (Mini Catty) When you stamp the image you use your 1 3/4" circle punch to punch out the middle of the image and put a sweet treats cup in it. They have adhesive on the back. TIP: Use a piece of transparency behind it to keep the candy secure and put the image over the cup and adhere it to your card.
Accessories: Eyelet border punch, black and white 1 1/4 " grosgrain ribbon, I attached the punch from the inside of the stamped image to the card with cord.
HUGE TIP: Do not make your card to stand straight up and down, make it vertical because with the candy it is top heavy and will not stand up! Make it A frame.
If you would like to order any of these products to make some wonderful Halloween cards or attend one of my Holiday card classes go to my SU web site at www.whitneyrichardson.stampinup.net

Baby Shower Ensemble

I forgot to include the pictures of the NEW baby carriage die cut !
So my pics are a little out of sequence. SORRY!Just keep reading it all comes together!!
This is the baby shower invitation we are using for this shower. The onezie is also a great
invitation piece as well.

You have alot of room to give the details of the shower
embellish and decorate.

Baby Shower Ensemble
Sample

My customer Brianna is hosting a baby shower for her best friend in November and I will coordinating the event and helping the gang make all the favors, invitations, table centerpieces thank you gifts,etc...

Close up of the flower Fold die cut in action making a pot full of posies!


I used a Kiwi colored pot I found a few months back and put a cone shaped Styrofoam
piece in it and cut the top of the cone off and covered it with plastic grass left over from easter matched the pot perfectly. I used long Bamboo skewers I got at Wal-Mart in the housewares section same aisle as the silverware and utensionals for only 97 cents for like 50.


TIP: I used the first 3 flower folds on the die to make my flowers and used dimensionals to adhere them together. Then I doubled the flowers one facing one way on the skewer and another on the back facing outwards. Giving you 6 total flowers. To adhere flowers to bamboo stick I put sticky strip on the bamboo stick front and back! VIP, glue dots won't last!Sticky strip is a must if youwant your flowers to stay put!!

This is the centerpiece for the table. The heart is made with the Movers and shakers die cut and then the purpose of the elaborate centerpiece it is also a game! Each guest will bring a copy of a picture of themselves as a baby and we will
pop it out with the heart punch and mount it to the flowers and then every one will guess who's who!How fun is that!!


This scrap tin is made especially for the mother to be to put her
bridal shower pics and the last few pages is for the notes of who the presents are from so she can send out the thank you notes we are going to make her!

I am having so much fun with this new baby carriage die cut from Sizzix which my friend Kim from our local scrap store ordered for Brianna. She wanted this carriage for the invitations.

This is a Stampin' Up! #2 die cut box with a pink perk twill 1 1/2" ribbon. I love this ribbon.
These will be great for favors and easy to just pop out and then decorate.
This one is generic, but can be customized for each individual mother to be.

This is the onezie die cut from Sizzix it takes 12x12 cardstock in order to make it and it cannot be used with any Sizzix machine smaller than the BIG SHOT. Remember all the extended die cuts are too wide for the cuttlebug and side kick (FYI)
For this shower we will use these for save the dates and put a magnet on the back so guests can put it on their refrig so they won't forget!!

This is a candy kiss tent its a quarter sheet of cardstcok scored at 3 1/4 , 2 1/4 & 1.
Use sticky strip on the last panel and stick on 5 candy kisses. then use sticky strip to seal it.

**I am currently taking customer orders for any or all of these items. If you are interested in any of the Baby shower ensemble pieces, please email with the # of guest and your colors of your shower and ESPECIALLY the date. remember to please give me at least 45 days if possible, I can do rush orders with exception. For pricing and more details contact me at
This is a cute # 2 2 box doubled with one handle with the modern punch for the handle
This is like a drink carrier so to speak and u can use it for games, party favors, etc.
These can be used for all type of events! Join my stamp club and learn how to make your own!

Also, the onesizes can be used for games too, like writing a note to the mom -to-be
on children. good luck, etc....

I found a few of these plastic boxes and I decided to decorate one of them for the ensemble!
But there are many things you can use them for.....teachers, Halloween!
Hope you enjoyed my baby shower ensemble, let me her your comments!!

Oh' Sunny Day!

This tin was created with the Stampin' Up! Sunny Day Simply Scrappin Kit and I have enough left over to make one or two more supplementing the paper of course. That is why it so nice to have all the SU cardstock colors on hand!

Inside of the tin the embellishments are small and work well with the scrap tin concept.

Scrap tins are great because you can finish them in a DAY!! Love INSTANT GRATIFICATION!!
This is my absolute favorite DSP SU has ever came out with! Nouveau chic!

This is perfect if you want to take your pictures and change the tone to black and white.

This tin has a top note that has been die cut a second time and then embossed in silver with my fav stamp from All Holidays, check out how to cut the top note again at http://stampingupnorthwithlaurie.blogspot.com/
My friend Laurie's blog she has step by step instruction photos

I made this in a flip scrap album as well, which allows you to put larger pictures and journaling on the side.
