Paper Crafting Blog Hop - Sunshine & Rainbows Popping Up

 

Welcome to the Paper Crafting Blog Hop! The February 2022 blog hop includes Stampin' Up! Independent Demonstrators from around the world!  Talented Demonstrators from all over the globe including the United States, the United Kingdom, and Australia are participating!  Get ready to be wowed by a variety of creative projects and design styles!  You may have arrived from Joy's blog.  What a fabulous project she had!

We are featuring anything but a card this month! Below is the treat holder that I created using the Rainbow of Happiness Bundle and Sunshine & Rainbows Designer Series Paper from the Sale-a-Bration brochure.  This little giftable is based on my little lunchbox notes I've made in the past.


You can fit TWO of the square chocolates in this cute treat holder!  It's great for a co-worker, a teacher, or anyone that needs a little sunshine pick-me-up!


I used Stampin' Seal to adhere the first chocolate and then was able to slide in the second...it fits nice and snug, but you could always adhere the two together.

Here's how I assembled this cute little thing:


Start with a 2-3/4" x 8-1/2" piece of Pool Party Cardstock (you can get four treats out of one sheet).
Score at 4", 6", and 8".  You'll add a strip of Tear & Tape to the 1/2" portion.  Place the rainbow die at the middle score line and run through your Mini Stampin' Cut & Emboss.


Now you'll cut out a rainbow from the Designer Series Paper and adhere it to the die-cut portion of the card.  If you don't know this trick for adding glue to narrow images see below.  I used the Silicone Craft Sheet, Multipurpose Liquid Glue, and a sponge.  Add a dollop of glue to the silicone mat, pick up with a sponge or dauber, and add to the back of the die-cut rainbow.  Adhere the small piece of DSP (2-3/4" x 2") to the Pool Party Cardstock just below the rainbow.



Adhere your chocolates to the inside toward the top of the last scoreline.  Fold the front over the chocolates making a "tent" and adhere near the edge of the chocolates by the 1/2" strip covered in Tear & Tape...leaving about a 1-1/2" portion of the Pool Party cardstock where you'll adhere the Cloud Punch with the stamped sentiment using Stampin' Dimensionals.  I added a little bow using the White Glittered Organdy Ribbon for just a bit of sparkle.

Hopefully, the photos above help with the directions I wrote!

Annual Valentines 4 Vets


The Grant Township community members made over 150 valentine cards for our local vets in the Fox Lake Area and the Midwest Veterans Closet Valentines 4 Vets event!  Find out more about this organization here:  www.midwestveteranscloset.org



We used extras of last year's valentine paper, stamps, and Paper Pumpkin to make quick and easy cards so we could spend time writing messages of appreciation and gratitude to veterans.


These young ladies from the Lake County Scholarship Program were a HUGE help in boxing up chocolates and helping the attendees with card-making!  And with clean up too!


Our Junior Miss Fox Lake Area traded her crown for a scrap bin just for a bit!


And our Miss, Teen, and Little Fox Lake Area Queens delivered the valentines 
to our local American Legion chapter in Fox Lake.

A BIG thank you to all that came out to help so our 

community could spread some love and appreciation!

Don't miss the Sale-a-Bration!


It's February and that means we have less than a month to take advantage of 2022 Sale-a-Bration!  Who doesn't love FREE stamps or Designer Series Paper?!?!??
With a qualifying order you get to choose your free gift.  And if your WISH LIST of crafting supplies is long, consider being a host or be a super-smart shopper and join the Stampin' Up! community of Demonstrators!

Which SAB gift is YOUR favorite?  Mine is the Sunshine & Rainbows 6x6 Designer Series Paper.  I love how it coordinates with one of my favorites from the 2022 January-June Mini Catalog...Rainbow of Happiness Bundle.


Next up is the Special Moments stamp set....21 different sentiments to add to your cards!

And Friendly Hello stamp set AND 12x12 Designer Series Paper!

Loving the retro-feel of the Driving By stamp set.  So cute to use with the paper piecing technique (check back to see how to do that!). The Catching Butterflies set is pretty cute too!


Do you love Designer Paper as much as I do? #DesignerSeriesPaperRocks. 
Daffodil Afternoon 12x12 DSP does remind me of the kitchen decor of yesteryear, but is beautiful for making cards!

The Simply Marbleous 6x6 DSP is a great backdrop for your projects.  It sure does pair well with the Awesome Otters stamp set!

And we can't forget Island Vibes!  I always fall for a pineapple...they work great for new home and hostess gifts (being a symbol of hospitality).
