Party Animal Suite- My Favorite Projects

Here’s some of my favorite projects I’ve made with the Party Animal Suite which will be available starting Jan 4, 2017.

The Balloon Adventures stamp set (#142823) and Balloon Pop-Up Thinlits Dies (#142753) were used to make this fun card. This stamp set and dies also make awesome shaker cards.

I love making Snickers boxes. A full size Milky Way or Snickers or 4 Bite size candy bars will fit in this box. Here’s the directions. The Party Animal DSP is used on all these projects (#142738)

Here’s a fun way to give a gift card with a note.

You’ll need the Stampin’ Up! Kraft Tag a Bag Gift Bags(#138315) to make this project.

You only need one 12 x 12 sheet of DSP to make this gift bag. Here’s the directions for the gift bag.

I got the idea for a box of tags from Kadie Labadie. Here’s her directions to make the box.

I loved making these tags with the balloons hanging off the tags and their cute curly strings.

The 8 x 8 Double Pocket Treat Holder is perfect for holding 3 x 3 cards and other treats. You can find the directions here to make 6 x 6, 8 x 8, or 12 x 12 Double Pocket Treat Holders.

The 6 x 6 Double Pocket Treat Holder is the perfect size for Ghirardelli treats.

It’s quick and easy to decorate a Stampin’ Up! Clear Tiny Treat Box (#141699) to make a gift extra special. I made the double bow with the Bow Builder punch (#137414).

Another favorite box of mine is the 3 Nugget Box. Who am I kidding? I have all kinds of favorite boxes, bags, baskets, and I love making cute and simple cards too! Here’s the directions to my 3 Nugget Box and directions to my 5 Nugget Box.

Do you have a cute 2017 calendar for your desk? Here’s the link to another of my Coaster Calendar plus Post it Notes which also has a You Tube link to directions.

This scrapbook page is showing my adorable nephew, Gavin, and my father celebrating Gavin’s first birthday. It’s easy to make scrapbook pages because the Stampin’ Up! products coordinate so well.

I started out as a scrapbooker, but in 2003 someone at KinderMusik showed me a Stampin’ Up altered notebook and I was hooked. I joined as a demo and it was the best decision ever! It makes my heart happy to stamp and create. I hope it blesses others when I give them my cards or gifts. I know it blesses me interacting with you through this blog. If you live in the U.S. and want to get your stamping supplies at a discount , join me and a very fun group of stampers. Starting Jan 4 you can choose $125 in products for $99 and get any two additional stamp sets for free! Please email me at Beth@StampingMom.com for more information.

This simple birthday card is made with the Iconic Occasions Host stamp set from the 2017 Occasions catalog. This set can be chosen with Stampin’ Rewards earned by purchasing or hosting a party of $150 or more. Everyone needs a stack of simple birthday cards ready to mail.

I also made these 3 x 3 cards with the Iconic Occasions Host set. The coordinating box holds four cards and envelopes, but I was having so much fun making them I couldn’t stop at four. I don’t have the directions written up for this box, but please let me know if you’re interested and I will put in on my To Do list.

I hope I’ve convinced you that the Party Animal Suite is pretty awesome! You can order any of the products starting Jan 4 here.

Snickers Boxes

My favorite box to make is the cute and simple Snickers Box made with the Envelope Punch Board. When I was making Display samples for the Kansas City Stampin’ Up! convention, I couldn’t resist including this box.

At the Thanksgiving Dinner at our house, my nephew’s wife saw my Stamping Studio and was excited to make something. Allie ended up making Christmas Snickers boxes for her entire fifth grade class in Manhattan, Kansas. I know the kids are going to love them! I wish I would’ve taken a picture of her boxes.

These beautiful Christmas Snickers boxes were Margaret Coffey’s 3-D Swap at the Kansas City On Stage event. I was blessed to meet her as she shared her boxes with me, and told me she used my directions to make them.. Here’s the link to the directions.

Here’s other Snickers boxes I’ve made the last couple of years.

If you make a Snickers Box, please send me a picture and I’ll share it with everyone! As Pat Knight taught me, you can fill them with a full size Snickers or four mini Snickers.

So I got my very tall son, Keegan, to help me with the lights on my tallest tree last night. Unfortunately only a short string was still working. He thought we should put them at the very top so when I bought the replacement lights, I wouldn’t need his help. That boy is always thinking!

Here’s my nativity set which I absolutely love! It was hand made in Australia by one of our camp counselors from Okoboji, Paul. Did you notice anything different about this nativity set? Typically in the USA our nativity sets don’t include kangaroos. Sadly my kangaroo got his feet broke off during our construction project. I’m hoping I (ie Superman) can glue him back together.

Ruth Sollberger, I thought you would especially appreciate my kangaroo. Ruth is my sweet friend who is a Bible Study Fellowship group leader and Stampin’ Up! Demo in Australia.

Blessings,

Beth 🙂

Party Animal Birthday Gift Tags

These birthday gift tags and coordinating box were so much fun to make! I got the idea for the box of tags from Kadie Labadie. Here’s the link to Kadie’s instructions for the box.

Isn’t it adorable?! Thanks Kadie for the directions!

I hope you’re not tired of seeing my display stamper projects. Hopefully you’re convinced that you need the Balloon Adventures and coordinating Balloon Pop-Up Thinlits Dies?!

Abby and Keegan spent a couple hours this afternoon at a local senior living facility helping senior citizens with their technology. I can’t remember if I’ve told you that for Abby’s Senior Honors project she started an organization called Tech Support for Seniors. She’s recruited high school students and most every Saturday they visit a senior facility and give free help to the residents. Some Saturdays they go one place in the morning and another place in the afternoon. The most common request they get is, “How do I connect to the wifi?” The high school students earn “silver cord hours” or volunteer hours. The senior citizens get to meet some really neat kids and get help with their cell phones, ipads etc. Abby has gotten some really sweet emails from people who appreciated the help they received.

While Abby and Keegan were gone, Superman and I tackled putting together our very tall Christmas tree. After the entire tree was in place, Steve decided it wasn’t stable, so we ended up picking the whole tree up out of the stand. It was going to be my job to hold the tree while he fixed the stand. However, the “tree trunk” is in two pieces and came apart unexpectedly. I believe if we had been filming this ordeal you would be laughing hysterically right now. Some how after much maneuvering the tree is back in the stand and pretty much standing up straight. I’ll let you know if it falls over during the night. Our next step is lights and ornaments. I wanted to mention to Superman that I would like to also put a tree up in the new Sun room, but after 30 years of marriage I decided timing is everything and I’ll wait to make that request at a later date.

Hope you’re having a good weekend. Please comment at the top of this post and let me know what Christmas preparations you have done.

Blessings,

Beth 🙂
