Love & Hot Cocoa

Hello Stamping Friends!!

I'm so very excited!
Today is the first day of the 2019 Fall/Winter Coffee Lovers Hop!!

 Dare 2B Artzy is once again a lovely SUPER Sponsor and I created this card with the Hop in mind:

 I absolutely LOVE the new Reindeer Games stamp set!! This reindeer is just too cute!!  I was so excited to use the set!

I thought it would be super fun to have him holding a mug of cocoa (or coffee if you'd prefer) and a cookie!  And make it look as if he was dipping the cookie in his warm mug of cocoa!!

Would be super cute with a mug of milk as well!!

Side view:

The mug and sentiment are part of the Cup of Cheer stamp set! And the yummy cookie is from the new Best Teacher stamp set!
I drew my colors from the awesome Snow Much Fun Paper Collection!!  I love this new paper line!!

So happy with how this fun stepper card turned out!!!

Beast Teacher Ever

Hello Stamping Friends!!

I'm on the Dare 2B Artzy Blog today!!

I am once again sharing another teacher gift idea!  This time a Post-It Note Holder!!  Simple, quick and fun!!

I started by first cutting the blue cardstock at 3 1/4" x 8 1/2".  I then scored the cardstock at 1 1/2", 1 7/8", 5" and 5 3/8".

I then used the Square Framelit Die set to die cut the the plaid side of the Paisley Peacock Pattern Paper!

I then added the apple, which I created using the Best Teacher stamp set and coordinating Teacher Die set!

I finished the outside of the Post-It Note holder by then adding the banner with the stamped 'Best Teacher Ever!' sentiment, which is part of the Best Teacher stamp set! I also added a die cut heart from the Pencil Die set!

An inside view:

So fun and easy to create!!


Makes for a nice little gift!

A Teacher...

Hello Stamping Friends!!

I'm on the Dare 2B Artzy Blog today!!

I'm so super excited to share my project with you today!!

I've been wanting to create a fun Stepper Box Card!  I finally found the opportunity to!!

I used the Treat Tower Dies set from Divinity Designs for the package!!  Makes creating these fun packages so fun and easy!!

With all the kids going back to school this month, it's always nice to have something little for their teacher.  Plus it was perfect timing, since D2BA just released some awesome new teacher stamp sets!!

Here is my Stepper Box Card:

I used the Autumn Oasis Collection for all the beautiful pattern paper!  I just LOVE this new collection!!

I used the Rectangle Fancy Framelit Die Set to die cut the layer that I then stamped the 'A Teacher takes a hand opens a mind & touches a heart' sentiment from the Heart of a Teacher stamp set.

I stamped the stem and leaf from the Best Teacher stamp set and die cut using the coordinating die from the Teacher Die set!  I also die cut the apple from the Teacher Die set!  I layered the apple neart the bottom of my box card!

I really like how it turned out!

 A side view:

I added a die cut heart to each of the sides!  I thought it was a nice touch!   The heart die is part of the Pencil Die set!

Are you ready for the inside?!?!

Check it out:

How cool is that?!  I LOVE it!!  So much fun to create!!

I again added a die cut apple to the inside, this time I stamped that 'Teaching is a work of heart' sentiment from the Best Teacher stamp set!!

I also added a die cut heart to each of the boxes!

View from the top:

Yummy!!  I added two truffles to each of the boxes!

But just think of all the fun things you could put in the boxes!!

I'll be making more of these!!
