Dislike Gift Wrapping?
If you are like me, you dislike gift wrapping. Stampin’ Up! has some great treat bags that can be used for smaller gifts and with a little of the right designer paper, some scissors or a die, you can make your own originals. These work great for small gifts and are food safe. You can find these on page 140 in the 2022-23 catalog.
Kraft Gift Boxes
You can decorate this using the Sweet Christmas Designer Series Paper and the greetings is from the Santa’s Express Memories & More cards. Use the Iridescent trim from the Santa’s Express Suite. If you want to use it as a box, put a wide Belly Band on it to cover the window.
The Embossed Treat Bags are great to use for a small gift bag. #159251
This is decorated using the DSP Santa’s Express and tied with the real red cotton ribbon. This bag can be decorated in many ways, even a stamped card.
The Peek a Boo Bag Is best used for candy or a baked treat. They do not hold much. These would make good table decorations and individual treats. These have both white and craft bags. 159252
Use the Santa Express Designer Series Paper to decorate this bag.
The last idea uses the Delicate Details Treat Bag # 159148
This is decorated with the Boughs of Holly Designer Series Paper. The flowers are fancy cut and you can add extra leaves. Tie it all up with Evening Evergreen ribbon.
A little designer paper, scissors, a little glue ,and embellishments can turn the Stampin’ Up! treat boxes and bags into some fun fill Christmas wrap.
Materials:
Kraft Gift Boxes
Peekaboo Treat Bags
Embossed Treat Bags
Delicate Details Treat boxes
DSP: Boughs of Holly, Santa’s Express, and Sweet Christmas
Misc.: Scissors, Adhesives, and Ribbon

This simple but sweet holiday treat is easy to do and is great for kids and adults alike. Treats such as Ghiradelli Chocolates, Hershey Mini’s, & Fun sized M&M’s work great. Create a little pouch out of designer series paper, add a cute scottie dog embellishment, some rhinestones and a ribbon and you have an adorable stocking stuffer!
The delightful detail on this pouch comes from the Christmas Scottie bundle:
They're cheerful, loyal, and ready to help you send Christmas greetings! The three Scottish Terriers in the Christmas Scottie stamp set are eager to adorn your handmade cards and gift tags. Choose your pup, then dress it up in festive finery by stamping the bow of your choice. Giving a gift? Add a bow to the two-line image to create a little present. You can use this set for Christmas cards and tags, but the set also includes sentiments you can use all year long.
Here's something fun you can try with this set—use the kissing technique to create a plaid scottie dog (or bow). The kissing technique is easy and fun: Stamp the plaid background stamp in your favorite color ink, then "kiss" (press) the scottie dog stamp onto the inked plaid stamp. The scottie dog stamp will pick up the ink and design from the plaid stamp, and you'll end up with an adorably plaid puppy!
Here's a fun pouch idea to try this holiday season:
Supplies:
Stamp Set – Christmas Scottie (159740) (Christmas Scottie Bundle 159744)
Card Stock – Basic White (159276); Real Red (102482)
Stamp Pads – Real Red (1147084); Tuxedo Black Memento (132708)
Misc. – Stampin’ Dimensionals (104430); Bone Folder (102300); Stylish Shapes Dies (159183); Multipurpose Liquid Glue (110755); Stampin’ Cut & Emboss Machine (149653); Paper Snips (103579), Paper Trimmer (152392); Red Rhinestone Basic Jewels (146924); Scottie Dog Punch (159743); Sweetest Christmas Designer Series Paper (DSP) (159559); Real Red & Garden Green Ribbon Combo Pack (159577); Tear & Tape (154031); Simply Scored Scoring Tool (122334); Small candy such as Ghirardelli Chocolate Square or other “fun” sized treat that is fairly square
Measurements:
· Candy Cane pattern from Sweetest Christmas DSP: 4” x 6”
· Garden Green with White Dots pattern from Sweetest Christmas DSP: 1” x 6”
· Real Red: scrap for bow
· Basic White Card Stock: 3” x 8 for sentiment, stitched circle and dog
· Garden Green Ribbon: 8”
Instructions:
1. Place Tear & Tape of the back side of the Candy Cane DSP – on the 2 long sides and one short side. Lay tape side up on tabletop. Place candy in the middle and remove the tape covering from all edges. Fold the un-taped side to the middle and then fold the opposite side such the DSP overlaps and the tape holds. Pinch the top and bottoms together lining up the DSP edges. If the edges are not lined up nicely, use paper snips to have a straight edge. Use the score tool to create 2 score lines on the taped outer edges.
2. Adhere the Garden Green DSP strip around the center with Tear & Tape.
3. From the Basic White card stock: die cut the approximately 2 ¼” stitched circle, stamp the dog in black ink and punch out the shape with the Scottie Dog Punch, and stamp the greeting with black ink and fussy cut with the paper snips.
4. Stamp the bow with Real Red ink on the scrap of Real Red card stock and punch out bow shape with the Scottie Dog Punch.
5. Adhere the circle to the center of the treat with dimensionals and the dog to the center of the circle with dimensionals. Adhere the bow to the dog’s neckline with multipurpose liquid glue. Adhere the greeting to the treat with dimensionals.
6. Make a bow from the Garden Green Ribbon and adhere to upper left corner of the treat with a glue dot. Add rhinestones as shown in the sample.

Are you nuts about stamping? I definitely am! And it’s easy to go nuts with the Nuts about Squirrels stamp set.
This set features two cheeky squirrels that will look adorable scampering across any of your projects. Create a scene using the acorns, leaves, and tree branch. Mix and match the greetings with the images to create cards for birthdays, get well, and thinking of you. Use the Two-Step pieces to add color to your squirrel, add texture to your leaf, or to create a multicolored acorn. Or if you’re feeling especially artistic, you can color the squirrels using your favorite coloring techniques. No matter where you live in the world, you can customize these critters to match the fauna outside your house. Red, gray, brown—these creatures are just plain cute no matter their color.
Hello everyone! I have a super easy and really fun treat holder idea today. I will be using my Nuts about Squirrels stamp set but you can change the paper and stamp set to match any occasion that you want.
For my holder itself, I chose the Boughs of Holly designer series paper, as one of the patterns would work well:

Snowfall Accents Puff Paint is advertised by Stampin’ Up! As a wintry accent for creating perfect puffs of snow. It does do this very well. Simply shake the bottle before using, apply a thin coating to your artwork and use the Heat Tool to transform it into festive 3D snowflake accents.
However, Snowfall Accents Puff paint is not just for snow! This decorative accent can be used for so many more creative accents. Such as:
· Beverage foam – any beverage that has a foamy layer on top – such as a freshly poured mug beer or a root beer float
· Whipped Cream – top off a dessert image or ice cream shake with a topping of fluffy whipped cream
· Marshmallows – add dimension to a s’more dessert image or a cup of hot cocoa with marshmallows floating on top
· Bubble Bath – imagine a bubble bath overflowing with bubbles – give those bubbles some dimension & texture with this puff paint
· Clouds – add dimension to images of clouds to emphasize
· Stones – give a stone walkway some dimension by adding puff paint to the stones. Then add color after heat setting with a Stampin’ Write Marker or Blends Marker.
Note: Stampin’ Up! Does warn that applying the paint over a stamped image may cause the ink to smear. I did not experience this, but I suggest you test a sample before applying the paint to a piece of artwork that you have spent a lot of time working on.

Did you know that I love to bullet journal? Over the past 3 or 4 years I have been using a bullet journal for my Stampin' Up! business and my life. I post my weekly and monthly goals, I track my exercise and Dutch lessons, my business sales and make notes as I listen to podcasts on growing my social media platforms (Facebook, YouTube and Instagram).
Last year it hit me that I could be using my Stampin' Up! products in my bullet journal too - getting a bigger BANG for my buck so to speak. I showed you how to use dies on your monthly cover page in this post, and your Stampin' Write Markers to add color to your monthly pages in this blog post.
I look forward to each new month as it gives me the opportunity to have a fresh look at my Stampin' Up! products for designing my monthly and weekly posts.
Here's a peek at my July pages. I used the Sweet Songbirds bundle as my inspiration, especially since this is the time of year when I am seeing so many baby birds happily paddling around the canals on my walks each day.
Make your own singing songbird ensemble with the Sweet Songbirds bundle! Stamp the images in different colors for a custom look—a light pink body, a darker pink wing, and yellow feet. Nestle your birds into the nest image or perch them on top of the branch. With multiple everyday sentiments, you're sure to use this cute stamp set all year long!
Here's my bullet journal July monthly spread:
And here's one of my bullet journal weekly spreads:
Do you bullet journal? If you do, you are welcome to copy my idea, or to use it as a springboard for your own ideas!

Did you know that you can create a beautiful beach scene using stamps, ink, paper and dies? I am going to show you how!
This project was designed using the Paradise Palms bundle - perfect for creating a chill island vibe!
Supplies
Stamp sets: Paradise Palms, Waves of Inspiration
Ink: Balmy Blue, Pacific Point, Crumb Cake, Memento Black, Many Marvelous Markers (Soft Suede and Shaded Spruce)
Paper: Thick Basic White, Basic White, Shaded Spruce
Misc: Stampin’ Cut & Emboss Machine, Rectangle Stitched Dies, Palm Dies, Blending Brushes, Foam Strip Adhesives, Stampin’ Dimensionals, Mini Stampin’ Dimensionals, White Shimmer Paste, Palette Knives, Bone Folder, Silicone Craft Mat, Seal Adhesive, Multi-Purpose Glue.
Non-Stampin Up: Removeable Tape, Sticky Note Pads
Instructions
1. Place the largest and third largest Stitched Rectangle dies onto the 4 X 5 ¼ piece of Thick Basic White. Run through the Stampin’ Cut & Emboss Machine. Set frame piece aside.
2. Using the cut piece of cardstock from the above, place two pieces of removable tape somewhat centered to create the “water”.
3. Using the Pacific Point Ink and a Blending Brush, pick up the ink and start moving the Blending Brush off on a scrap of paper. Then move in swirly motions towards the area left open for the water. Continue to add ink to get the water the color desired. Once completed remove the tape.
4. Take a sticky note and Paper Snips and cut to create shapes of clouds. Add a piece of removable tape just below the edge of the water. Place the cloud template at the top of the Basic White CS. Using Balmy Blue ink and a Blending Brush start creating clouds-moving the sticky note as needed to create the cloudy sky.
5. Place a clean sticky note at the bottom of the water’s edge covering the water. Using Crumb Cake and a Blending Brush start blending to form the beach. Once you have achieved the color you want, take the Blending Brush with additional ink and blot several areas to give it a darker sandy look.
6. Using the spatula and Shimmer White paste-lightly add a small amount to form the shapes of waves over the water area. Set this aside to dry.
7. Using the Soft Suede Stampin’ Write Marker, color the three palm trees. Add Shaded Spruce ink to the palms using the Stampin Write marker. “Huff” on the stamp to remoisten the ink and stamp onto a scrap of Basic White.
8. Using the coordinating dies run this through the Stampin’ Cut & Emboss Machine. Take a scrap of Shaded Spruce CS and use the “grass” die to cut a strip. Set aside.
9. Add the form strips to the “frame” and adhere to the center of the card.
10. Add liquid glue to the back of the blended scene and drop into the frame making sure it is centered.
11. Using the Memento Black Ink and the birds from the Waves of Inspiration stamp set, stamp towards the top of the sky.
12. Add Stampin' Dimensionals to the Palm Trees and attach towards the bottom of the sand. Then add the grass using Dimensionals and place over the bottom of the tree trunks.
13. Stamp a sentiment if desired on front or on the inside of the card.
