Cozy up with a Cup O' Kisses ~ Monday Montage

Welcome back to Monday Montage!  Thanks for hopping along with us each and every time...we love sharing our paper crafting passion with all of you!

 

It's a cold, rainy dreary day here today...perfect for cozying up with a yummy cup of coffee or hot chocolate.  Or maybe even a Cup O' Kisses!  A couple weeks ago I participated in a Holiday Craft Bazaar and made these cute little coffee cup treat boxes.  They sold out in the first hour and I ended up taking orders for about 2 dozen more!  Since I've been working away on getting them done, I thought I'd share them all with you.  Thanks to my Utah BFF and fellow Monday Montage Hopper, Wendy, I was able to find these adorable little 4 oz coffee cups and lids.  I wrapped them up in DSP and filled them with Kisses and placed them a in fun little drink carrier...LOVE them!

A JOYful weekend of wreaths

Happy Monday friends!!!  Hope you all had a great weekend and did something crafty :-) I know I did!

Saturday night my house was filled with 19 awesome and oh-so-crafty friends who gathered to create their very own curly paper wreath.  Inspired by the amazing talented Alanna of Sleepless Stamper, my friends and I spent the evening curling paper, pinning paper, making banners and just havin' FUN!  We even Skyped with my amazingly awesome friend Wendy of Wickedly Wonderful Creations who also had a group of her friends over makin' wreaths too! Skype stamping is the BESTEST!!!

I know I have already posted my wreath once before, but I wanted to share it again after our fun night together on Saturday.

I'm so super sad that I forgot to take pictures while everyone was here :-(  But a couple girls posted their wreaths after they got home, so I can at least share those!

Kendra made the Cherry Cobbler wreath and added her bow in along the bottom left side...LOVE it!  Jordan's wreath was all full of bright, colorful awesomeness!!!  She brought a few other strips of paper to match her Christmas décor (Melon Mambo, Old Olive, Raspberry Ripple) and added them in with the Winter Frost DSP.  This picture doesn't do her wreath any justice...it was beautiful!!!

 

Having all of these wonderful ladies in my house and Skyping with another group of amazing crafty ladies reminded me why I love my hobby job so much! Seeing the smiles on everyone's faces and hearing the kind words of thanks from everyone warms my heart!  I am beyond blessed and grateful that Stampin' Up! has brought so many great people into my life!

 

Happy Stamping friend!

A Krafty Little Snowman

Happy Thursday friends!  Today I have my individual post for Stylin' Stampin' INKspiration.  I LOVE the Kraft Gift Boxes and was so happy when two new ones showed up in the Holiday Catalog.  If you remember, one of my

Artisan Finalist entries was a Kraft box that I turned into a cute little cupcake holder.  Using that same idea, I turned some more Kraft Gift Boxes into this fun little snowman!

Isn't he fun?!?!  The middle box is the Decorative Window Gift Box, which I have used for so many different things.  I wanted a window to match in the other two boxes, so I tore them apart, ran them through my Big Shot with the Circle Framelits, glued them back together and slid in a piece of Window Sheet...voila!  A cute little stackable snowman gift box!

I tore up some Whisper White cardstock to fill the inside of each box, but I plan on filling them with some special Christmas treats for a very special friend who loves snowmen!

 

Supplies Used:

Paper ~ Basic Black, Whisper White, Pumpkin Pie, Window Sheet, Red Glimmer Paper

Other Supplies ~ Kraft, Decorative Window and Extra-Large Kraft Boxes, Pretty Presents Designer Bows, Neutrals Buttons, Circle Framelits, Basic Black/Basic Gray Satin Ribbon (leftover from the Halloween Banner accessory kit), Circle Punches, MDS (Holly)

 

Thanks for stopping by today!  I hope I have INKspired you to create something fun today!

 

Happy Stamping!
