Simply Adorned™ EVERYTHING

This is our wonderful Simply Adorned™ 1" Square Charm I jazzed up a little bit!   Our EXCLUSIVE Stampin' Up! Simply Adorned™ Jewelry is fabulous!  I love how the charms pop all the way open, to allow for easy access.  The glass on the front is beveled to allow for dimensional designs.  The coolest thing about this 1" Charm, it has glass on the front and back (only the front glass is beveled).  Can you believe how much I was able to fit inside this charm!

OK, so I didn't stop with the Charm!  I felt like the 24" Chain needed some action.  I got the idea from our Stampin' Up! Co-founder and CEO, Shelli Gardner, at Leadership in Phoenix. Here's the one Shelli made for her sister, Vonna, as a birthday gift.

   The Stampin' Up! Simply Adorned™ Jewelry line is very versatile.

BUTTERFLY BOX CARD

Let someone know, how much they inspire you, with this inspirational Butterfly Box Card.  There's even enough room to place a small gift inside the box.

Mukibug Tips:

• The finished dimensions of the box are 3-1/2" wide X 2-3/4" tall X 3-1/2" deep.
• Here are the PDF Dimensional Instructions for creating the box.
  Download March_Gift_Box_Pattern and Download March_Gift_Box_Lid_Pattern
• The vivid colors of the Shades of Spring Designer Series Paper™ determined the ink colors I used to rubber stamp.
• To create the hole on your tag, using the 1/2" Circle Punch, punch a Orchid Opulence™ circle and punch another circle out of Certainly Celery™.  On the Certainly Celery™ cardstock, punch another hole around the 1/2 Circle hole, using the 3/4" Circle Punch™.  Adhere both the Orchid Opulence™ 1/2" circle and the Certainly Celery™ circle ring to the tag.  Use the Crop-A-Dile™ to punch a hole through the Orchid Opulence™ circle.
• See how to make your custom sized tag here.

CELEBRATE BUTTON FLOWERS CARD

I am CRAZY about our Kaleidoscope Designer Series Paper™ (see below) and you can see why with this simple "celebrate" card.

Mukibug Tips:

• The clear button on the top was created easily by using the 3/4" Circle Punch™ on the Kaleidoscope Designer Series Paper™.  I used the Paper Piercing Tool™ to poke the holes in the button.
• The Circle Circus™ rubber stamp set was perfect for the stamped design behind the buttons.
• The only rubber stamp I used in the Embrace Life™ rubber stamp set was the flower stem!
• I was excited to realize the small words from the Celebrate Everything™ rubber stamp set fit perfectly with the Medium Jewelry Tag Punch™.  (I'm in love with those little tags!)
• I used Taken With Teal™ ink to stamp the sentiments, instead of Tempting Turquoise, because it was deeper in color and gave more weight to the overall look.  I knew to use Taken With Teal™ because the Color Coach™ shows me Dynamic Duos™ in our Creative Color Combinations™.
• When I lined the envelope, I covered the adhesive, so use some 2-Way Glue™ to seal your envelope, when it's time.

Below is a list of all the products I used to create this card.  You can order on-line 24/7 and NOW during our SALE-A-BRATION promotion, you will receive, for FREE, one of OVER 80 products with each $50 purchase!

LATTICE BUTTERFLIES CARD

Just a little splash of color with these five bright butterflies!  This is another one of those BIG SHOT cards!  It's only 4-1/4" X 4-1/4" but it's loaded with lots of action.  This is the first chance I've had to use my *new* Stampin' Up! Lattice Bigz Die™.  I love it!  Every time I look at it I see something different.  Sometimes it's congruent circles, another time it's four petal flowers, then there are times I see just leaves.  It makes a great background to these five handsomely embossed butterflies.  Our *new* Stampin' Up! Beautiful Wings Embosslits Die™ is fabulous.  So how did I ever PAPER CRAFT before I had my Stampin' Up! BIG SHOT by Sizzix™?

Mukibug Tips:

• I rubber stamped all my little expressions on Whisper White cardstock and then punched them out using the *new* MEDIUM JEWELRY TAG PUNCH™.
• I picked them all up, held them all neatly together and punched through ALL of them just once with my 1/16" CIRCLE PUNCH™ to create the hole for the crochet string (available anywhere knitting & crochet supplies are sold).
• My lattice is up off the card thanks to the skinny left overs on my DIMENSIONALS™ adhesive sheet.  I just snip those narrow pieces on the edges and use them behind the thin lattice.  The lattice is magically floating above the surface of the CLOSE TO COCOA card.

SALE-A-BRATION will be coming to an END on March 31st!  Be sure to take advantage of receiving FREE product with every $50 order.  Purchase the Lattice Die, Beautiful Butterflies embosslits die, Medium Jewelry Tag Punch and some Dimensionals and you've earned a FREE SAB product.  It really is a great offer and it only happens ONCE A YEAR!

Mini Birdhouse on the Fence Project

Our current OCCASIONS MINI CATALOG is packed with so many fun PAPER CRAFTING products.  I had fun cleverly disguised the Mini Milk Carton into a charming birdhouse on a white picket fence!  Our new Stampin' Up! Mini Milk Carton Bigz L Die™ is a BLAST! This was a Paper Pal Arts Inspiration Challenge #31. Wide open challenge, huh!

My little birdhouse actually lifts off the fence to reveal a hidden treat in the picket fence cup.  With Easter just around the corner, you would obviously put chocolate eggs down inside the picket fence cup!  Or perhaps little jelly beans.  Whatever fits will be a delight to whomever receives this "tweet" little project!

Mukibug Tips:

• Before assembling the nicely die cut milk carton, I rubber stamped all over the outside of the carton with a rubber stamp from the SPRINKLES rubber stamp set.  I also punched a 3/4" CIRCLE in one side for the birdhouse door.
• I also added a small piece of WINDOW SHEET over the punched circle hole.
• The roof was made with a 2-1/2" X 4-1/4" piece of SOFT SUEDE cardstock.  I scored it at 2-1/8" using my PAPER CUTTER with a refill SCORE BLADE.
• The WHISPER WHITE Picket Fence cup is 3-1/2" X 7" (score at 1-1/2" across one of the long sides to create the bottom flaps.)  Also score at these measurements for the sides of the Picket Cup (1-5/8", 3-1/4", 4-7/8", 6-1/2").  This will leave a 1/2" flap for an adhesive closure.
• Punching out all the little birdie extras was so easy using the *NEW* XL 2-Step BIRD PUNCH (don't forget to punch out a little extra wing for the back side of the birdie.)
• Notice all the little items like the cute little MEDIUM JEWELRY TAGS punched with little expressions from the TINY TAGS rubber stamp set.
  
•  ADDITIONAL ASSEMBLY NOTES:
  
  1. Die cut your birdhouse, with CRUSHED CURRY™, following the assembly instructions that came with the STAMPIN' UP! MINI MILK CARTON BIGZ L DIE™(it explains where to put adhesive).
  2. Punch the edges of the SOFT SUEDE roof using the SCALLOP EDGE PUNCH.
  3. On the WHISPER WHITE Picket Fence Cup, cut the four bottom score lines up to the 1-1/2" score line mark.  This creates your flaps for the bottom of the box.
  4. Punch the top edge of the WHISPER WHITE using the PINKING HEARTS BORDER PUNCH.
  5. Use STICKY STRIP on the 1/2" WHISPER WHITE Picket Fence flap and adhere to create a open ended box.
  6. Run the WHISPER WHITE cardstock through the CRIMPER.
  7. Close up your flaps on the bottom of the WHISPER WHITE Picket Fence Cup.
  8. I first punched a hole in the top of the SOFT SUEDE roof; then, I put it on top of the milk carton and marked where the hole needed to be on top of the carton.  Each of these holes was punched using the CROP-A-DILE™.  The POLKA DOT ribbon tie through the holes.  I did add some adhesive under the roof to hold it down against the carton.

ASTONISHING CARD

If at first you DO succeed, try not to look ASTONISHED!  Just roll with the luck and take it like it's an every day occurrence.  I'm having fun using the HEART TO HEART PUNCH™ to make all my four leaf clovers.  Are you ready for Spring?

Mukibug Tips:

• Rubber stamp the tall green INSPIRED BY NATURE™ grass before adding your 1/4" X 4-1/4" Old Olive™ trim.
• The cute polka dot pattern comes from the SHADES OF SPRING Designer Series Paper™ and it measures 2" X 4-1/4".
• The four leaf clover was created using the larger of the three hearts punched from the HEART TO HEART PUNCH™.
• The fun sentiment comes from the FULL OF LIFE™ rubber stamp set.

Purchase the whimsical Full of Life rubber stamp set, the Heart to Heart Punch and our double sided SNAIL permanent adhesive and you've earned your FREE Sale-A-Bration product!

Stampin' Up!'s Beautiful Butterfly™ Garland

At The Little Birdie Secret's Blog Party, last week, I noticed some darling blue bird garland hanging from the tables, for decorations.  When I inquired where they found such darling "bird" garland, Mandy said they made it!  It was created by sewing the die cut shapes through a sewing machine and allowing the chain stitch of the sewing machine to continue a little bit, before entering the next piece of die cut cardstock.  Well, of course I had to come home and make some!  With all my fabulous Stampin' Up! punches and die cuts, I got busy right away.

Using the Stampin' Up! Beautiful Butterflies Bigz Die™, I die cut butterflies in three different colors and  I punched out some 3/4" circles in Very Vanilla™.  Having everything punched and cut, I headed to the sewing machine to create my garland.  This is so cool!  You have just got to try this yourself.

Here is a list of the supplies I used to create this fun garland.

SWEETEST DAY EVER

YUM!  Wishing you the SWEETEST DAY EVER!  This is one of five projects we will be doing at January STAMP CAMP.  I love the SWEET TREAT CUPS™ on a card.  They are fun to design and and even more fun to receive!  We are also now offering a HEART TREAT CUP™ and STAMP SET PROMOTION, just in time for Valentines day.

The round cups fit perfectly inside the large flower from the PETAL PIZZAZZ™ stamp set (shown below).  Our 1-3/4" CIRCLE PUNCH™ creates the hole, and the self-adhesive lip on the Sweet Treat Cup holds the cup right in place.  Our FULL HEART PUNCH™(113693) punches the perfect heart to accommodate the heart shaped cups.  I used jelly beans in the cup for this card, but here's a list of 100 SWEET CUP IDEAS to fill your Sweet Treat Cups.  This list was created by Janet Wakeland, Sr. Director, Stampin; Up! Independent Demonstrator, and she was gracious enough to share her list with all.  Thank you Janet! :D

Listed below are all the supplies used to make my card.
