Halloween Invite – Clearance Rack Deals!

Here is a picture of the invite for my sweet daughter’s Halloween party.  Her friends loved it, which made me very happy           photo 3 (9)

So, I bet you’re wondering why I would show this Halloween card in February?  Well, guess what?  The stamp set, Fall Fest, is on the clearance rack for $11.19 and the Fun Fall Framelits are also on the clearance rack for $17.49.  You know next October when you really want this set and framelits, it will be on ebay for a bizillion dollars.  The “Spooky Spooky” etc. is from Mingle All the Way.  Yep, it’s on the clearance rack also at $12.59.  This is a great time to get a sweet deal and be set for Halloween.

On the inside I used the Holiday Invitation set and the retired bat punch.

.Here are the  goodie bags she made for the party using the Paper Pumpkin.  These were so quick and easy.photo 1 (15)

Paper Pumpkin is awesome!  We get a new kit in the mail every month, and Abby and I have a great time putting the cards or projects together.

Abby also made cute bat cookies, Reese’s spider treats and more.  I thought you might enjoy seeing them even though they aren’t stamped.

We also made treats for the teachers. The Fry Box gets a lot of use at my house.

Happy Valentine’s Day

Hope you had a wonderful Valentine’s Day!

Do you think my husband was thinking, “I hope I get a Stampin’ Up! Curvy Keepsake Box filled with Dove Dark Chocolate for Valentine’s Day!”  Well if that’s what he was thinking, he hit the jackpot today!

I made a special box just for him.  He’s also the only one who got a tag saying, ” You plus Me equals Love”  I’m sure that’s the part he liked the best.  My husband and I met when we were twelve and have been married for almost 29 years.  Come to think of it,  I feel like I hit the jackpot being married to Steve for 29 years.  Happy Valentine’s Day Honey!

Reese’s Peanut Butter Heart Box

Who knew Stampin’ Up! had a gift box for Reese’s Peanut Butter Hearts?  My kid’s favorite treat to receive for any holiday is Reese’s Peanut Butter ________!  You know…Hearts, Eggs, Pumpkins, Christmas Trees etc.  Does Reese’s make a Peanut Butter Turkey?  They would like that too.  Anyway, I was wishing there was a cute box for which to gift my Valentine Reese’s Peanut Butter Hearts.  I started trying to figure out what size box I needed, when I noticed that Stampin’ Up! has a 1.75 x 1.75 x 3.25 box size on the Gift Box Punch Board.  This is a great box to put one, or even two Reese’s Peanut Butter treats.

It is a very cute and easy box.  So I made more boxes since I have more kids. 🙂

Then I decided I needed a cute card and matching envelope to go with the box.

I got to see my college son last night at a concert, so here’s what I gave him for Valentine’s Day.

The only paper I used for this project was Real Red Cardstock and the Stacked With Love Designer Series Paper Stack.  I still had the paper sitting out on my desk, when my husband went in my stamping office this morning and created a couple cards on his own.  Here’s the one he made for me.  He also made one for our sweet daughter.  He wrote a note to our youngest son on a post it note.  I guess he decided our son didn’t need another card.

Isn’t he sweet!  You can tell he agrees with my philosophy of making cute and quick cards and gifts.  If you haven’t finished your Valentines, I suggest making a  Reese’s Peanut Butter treat box.
