Last Day of Sale-A-Bration!

By Amy · Comments (1)
Wednesday, March 31st, 2010

I can’t believe that the end of Sale-A-Bration is here… kind’ve sneaked up on me–how about you?

This adorable (and easy) money holder birthday card was made with the FREE Sale-A-Bration set called ‘Happy Moments’ #118664 wood, #119125 clear mount.

I stamped the ‘outline’ image of the gifts on the Razzleberry Lemonade designer series paper twice… once on front and once on the back and cut out two gifts to make them look ‘wrapped’ in our designer paper.

If you missed the memo these last three months, you get one SAB set or accessory with each $50 in catalog purchases.

Details of this card:
4 x 11 inch Melon Mambo cardstock (scored at 3 ¼ x 8 inches)
2 x 3 ½ White cardstock
2 ½ x 3 ¾ Crushed Curry cardstock
Razzleberry Lemonade Designer Series Paper
– 3 ¾ x 2 ½ striped designer paper
– 3 x 2 ½ tiny yellow/orange floral design
Silver brads, 1 1/16th inch circle punch
Eyelet border punch
1 3/8 inch Jumbo circle punch
Crushed Curry polka-dotted grosgrain ribbon
Melon Mambo marker

You can view the Sale-A-Bration mini catalog HERE… and remember to either place your order online or contact me!

Gift Tag Holder

By Amy · Comments (3)
Tuesday, March 30th, 2010

I have so much of the ‘Cottage Wall’ designer paper left over from my Stamp Festival so I thought to put it to good use!

At my team meeting last week, we made this adorable ‘tag’ holder (which was an idea that I flagrantly stole from the very talented Becky Roberts who made me one for a private ‘Take 3′ swap at Leadership).  What a nice gift this makes!

And as a funny coincidence, Amanda Coughlin this morning posted her CASE of a Becky Roberts project tutorial she purchased for our swap in January!

The body of the booklet is a 3 1/4  x 10 1/2 inch piece of Razzleberry Red cardstock, scored at 5 & 5 1/2.  The ‘pockets’ inside are 3×5 flat cello bags (#103104) lined in white cardstock (so the tags really show up).  The other coordinating color is Old Olive.

If you made this to hold the 4×6 flat cello pockets, this would make a nice photo holder, don’t you think?

While I used a different designer paper/color combination, I loved her designs of the tags (and hers were WAY more detailed than mine) so I copied three of them with what I had on hand.

The middle mini-pocketbook is fully functional in that it opens!  The pocketbook is a piece of designer paper folded in half and punched with the large oval leaving out the bottom seam so it opens.  The purse ‘clasp’ is the very small oval punch decorated with the Trio Flower (#109183) punch and a crystal brad held shut with a glue dot and the handle is the medium oval punched out and then the scalloped oval punched out above that!

The tag on the right is a flowerpot made from the ornament punch upside down, the leaves is the Sizzlit Die – Stampin’ Up! ‘Little Leaves’(#114511) and again the flowers are the Trio Flower punch.

Accessories Used:

Scallop Trim **ONLY AVAILABLE TWO MORE DAYS** #118402
Two-Step Bird, #117191
Trio Flower, #109183
Small Oval #107304

Chocolate Easter Bunny

By Amy · Comments (1)
Thursday, March 25th, 2010

Ah, those three beautiful words every woman wants to hear… ‘chocolate Easter bunny’!

The fabulous ‘single’ stamp ‘Chocolate Bunny’ (#116980, $7.95) is available for a limited time while the Occasions Mini Catalog is available… don’t miss it!

I made a simple ‘treat sleeve’ with a 2 1/2 x 10 inch piece of Mellow Moss cardstock and folded it back up on itself to form a pocket.

The best part is the ‘chocolate’ on the bunny! I stamped the bunny in Chocolate Chip (how appropriate!) Crafter’s Ink (#101816) and heat set with Crystal Clear embossing powder (#109130, $4.75) on Creamy Caramel cardstock.

The floral stamp in Blush Blossom on Blush Blossom paper is from ‘Razzle Dazzle’ (#116714, $18.95) set.  The pocket is held together with Moss brads from the Soft Subtles brads assortment.

One important thing to remember about the ‘handle’, punch out the jumbo circle and THEN punch out the flower… it is close to impossible the other way around, LOL!

Materials & Dimensions:

2 ½ x 10 inch Mellow Moss cardstock
(scored at 6 ½  inches)
2 ¼ x 3 Blush Blossom cardstock (for front panel)
2 ¼ x 3 Creamy Caramel (for the bunny)
2 ½ x 2 ¾ Close to Cocoa (for the flower punch)
2 ½ x 2 ¾ Blush Blossom (for the scallop circle punch)
Blush Blossom dye ink
Chocolate Chip Crafters Ink
Crystal Clear embossing powder & Heat Tool
1 ¼ inch jumbo circle punch
Scallop Circle Punch
Extra Large Fancy Flower punch (118073)
Earth Elements brads (Olive)
1 1/16th inch circle punch
Dimensionals™, Chocolate Chip narrow grosgrain ribbon

Great Grads Money Holder

Great Grad

GreatGradDetail

If you still a graduation this weekend, here is an easy money holder  was made with the retiring ‘Great Grads’ set.   Yes, my loyal readers will know that I recycled this idea from last year!

<— I have included the directions sheet for creating this ‘money holder’… just click on the thumbnail.

This is a totally simple card that holds shut with just the slit punch.  There is nothing fancy inside (no pocket or anything) because, face it–they are just going to shake the money out and probably not even read your note!

This is a money/gift card holder that I’ve done in the past but with an adorable ‘old fashioned soda shoppe’ type exterior!

I have seen the Candy Lane Designer Series Paper (#113980, $9.95) used as a window overhang like this and decided that it would be the perfect cover for a birthday money gift.

I had a lot of feedback about my post the other day (See: Rose Accordion Bookmark Card) and the dimensions for it.  I have updated that post to include more details, click here to view it again.

Chocolate–My other obsession…

By Amy · Comments (7)

Chocolate HouseWhere have I been?  Well, up to my elbows in chocolate… which is a family tradition for the Celona family.

For about 20 years now, I have made candy as gifts to friends and neighbors (that live near enough to deliver by hand).  I have included not only the photo, but an ‘extreme’ closeup (when you click on it).

I say that I make it, but it is truly a family affair and there are no shortage of teenage girls these days to help with chocolates to be made. Making chocolate houses...

My daughter Katherine who was ’tiling’ the roof with non-pareils, the walls were molded by my daughter Sarah & her friend Brittany.   And you can see below also the ‘before & after’ shots of the houses in construction. Read More→
