My Hello Spring Card Party is this week and I wanted to make a sweet table favor for everyone attending. This Mini Tote Bag Treat Holder is what I came up with:
Using the Medium Daisy Punch to embellish the fronts of the mini tote bags made this project quick and easy to make.

Making cards is fun but sending them to brighten someone else’s day is delightful! Wouldn’t you love to receive a handmade card in the mail? Happy Mail is the best kind of mail!
The Sending Sunshine greeting card I made during today’s Coffee & a Card Livestream would brighten anyone’s day. Whatever kind of day you’re having, those rays of light are sure to bring encouragement!
The “Sending Sunshine and good feelings” sentiment works couples well with the Rays of Light stamp set.
I used a masking technique to shorten the stamped sentiment. This video replay from today’s Livestream demonstrates how I did that.

I made this sweet little gift bag during today’s Make-it-Monday Livestream. It’s the perfect size for tucking in some sweet treats or a gift card.
I used the Country Floral Lane Designer Series Paper from Stampin’ Up! to make the bag. The sentiment I stamped onto the tag is one I’ve used over and over again this Spring. It comes from the Framed Florets stamp set.
The gift bag measures 3-3/4″ wide by 2″ deep. I’ve gusseted the sides and created a flap to close the bag. A 12″ x 1-1/4″ strip of designer series paper keeps the bag closed.
Spring has sprung here in Kansas City and has put me in the mood to make this Sweet Songbirds thank-you card. I used the Sweet Songbirds Bundle from Stampin’ Up! to create the card. I also used one of my favorite 6″ x 6″ paper collections, Regency Park.
Although I could have cut rectangles for the layers, I chose to use the Deckled Rectangle Dies to add some texture and a little more interest.

I’ve got another card to share with you today using paper scraps. I’ll admit it, I’m a paper hoarder and I need lots of ideas to use up my stash of cardstock. Today’s card uses 3/8″ x 5-1/4″ strips of cardstock, the Cloud Punch, and the Playing in the Rain Bundle from Stampin’ Up!
The background created with the paper strips, reminiscent of a rainbow, makes a great background for the clouds and kite die-cuts. Watch this video tutorial for full directions:

Today’s Make-it-Monday project is this Easter-themed treat holder. It’s a mini pocket that the cute, Ghirardelli Chocolate Bunny candies can be tucked inside. I was inspired to make these treat holders by a fellow Stampin’ Up! Demonstrator, In the Pink, Designs by Cathryn.
I have prepared a step-by-step project tutorial for this project that includes cutting and scoring diagrams. The .pdf is ready to download and print for your personal use. If you would like to see more of these project recipes in the future please let me know. Click on the button below to get the project directions.
Today was a true Monday and I had terrible technical difficulties before going live for today’s Livestream. Fortunately, my fix for everything technical – restart all devices – worked and I was able to go on and demonstrate how to make the Easter Bunny Pocket Treat Holders.

Are you wondering what to do with all those designer series paper scraps? Use them! I’ve used eight, 1/2″ strips of paper scraps to create the card I’m sharing with you today.
The vibrant woven background created with the paper strips makes a great background and sets the stage for any sentiment tag.

I used the Decorative Borders stamp set from Stampin’ Up! to make this sweet, wreath-themed card.
I used my favorite coloring tools, Stampin’ Blends, to color the beautiful line art image from the stamp set. The Petal Pink color was drawn from the Country Gingham Designer Series Paper I used as the first layer on the card.
The fun sentiment on the card is from the Something Fancy stamp set and was cut out using the coordinating Something Fancy Dies.
Not one to leave a card without an embellishment, I added a black baker’s twine bow and five Pastel Adhesive-Backed Sequins to finish the card.
I used the Share a Milkshake Bundle from Stampin’ Up! to embellish the card I’m sharing with you today. Who doesn’t dream of floating ice cream dishes and strawberry milkshakes? You can’t get any sweeter than that!
The fun-fold technique I used appears a bit complicated but is actually quite simple when you use a paper trimmer that includes a scoring blade. I used this one from Stampin’ Up!
Here is a diagram showing the cutting and scoring I used to create this fun-fold card base:
Watch this video for complete cutting and scoring instructions:
Beginning March 1, 2023 customers will have access to the Hello, Irresistible Blooms Suite Collection along with other, online exclusive products. I made today’s card using the products from the suite.
I used the emboss/resist technique to create the dreamy watercolor effect on the flower die-cuts. The technique blends so well with the Hello, Irresistible Blooms Designer Series Paper. One of the viewers on my LiveStream today suggested the Crinkled Seam Binding Ribbon. It’s the perfect embellishment for the front of the card.
You will need two pieces of cardstock for the card base. One piece measures 4-1/4″ x 8″ and is scored at 2″ on the long side. The other piece measures 4-1/4″ x 3″. The Hello, Irresistible Designer Series Paper measures 3-3/4″ x 5″ and 3-3/4″ x 2-1/2″. Watch the replay of my Coffee & a Card Live-Stream for step-by-step instructions to make your own corner pocket card.
Valentine’s Day is just a few days away and I have three quick and easy Valentine’s Day treat holders to share with you.
I used the Peekaboo Treat Bags from Stampin’ Up! for the first Valentine’s Treat Holder. After adhering two strips of the Country Floral Designer Series Paper to the top and bottom of the bag, I added a sentiment tag. The tag is made with the Heart Punch Pack and then embellished with die-cuts from the Share a Milkshake dies.
The second quick and easy Valentine’s Treat Holder is this cute chocolate-topped ladybug. I used the Hello Ladybug Bundle from Stampin’ Up! as the base for a heart-shaped Dove chocolate.
The final quick and easy Valentine’s Treat Holder I’m sharing with you today is this wrapped Hershey’s Chocolate Nugget. It’s a 1″ x 8-1/2″ strip of Country Floral Designer Series Paper wrapped around the chocolate. I embellished it with a stitched circle die-cut topped with heart die-cuts.
Watch the video for step-by-step instructions for all three treat holders

Today’s project is a fun, Valentine Apothecary Jar that I made using supplies from Dollar Tree. I purchased these small, plastic mason jars at my local Dollar Tree. I have also seen plastic apothecary jars in the Dollar Spot at Target which would be perfect for this project.
Make these easy jars for table favors, home decor, and coworker gifts. Use different colors for the embellishments and they would be beautiful for a wedding shower. I plan on using them as decoration on my treat table at my Galentine’s Card Party. If you’re local to the Kansas City area we would love to have you join us.
