1,000 YouTube Subscriber Giveaway!!!!

UPDATE!!!! Misty Rowland is the Winner!!! Thank you all for your support!!!

Oh my I am so excited to reach 1,000 subscribers on my YouTube channel!  I have been more consistent lately, by adding content I hope you have all enjoyed.  I must admit, it took me some time to get into the YouTube side of my business.  And I think it's because I was looking at it as a business only, instead of sharing my love of papercrafting. I needed to look at YouTube as sharing my love of Stampin' Up! with the rest of you.

And with a day job I couldn't find the time as I was  already sharing, and enjoying,  papercrafting on Periscope. (Periscope is live streaming, you can watch on a downloadable app or on your PC at Periscope.tv) I realized this weekend, I can do both!!!  If I kept my YouTube videos short and not too much fuss editing.

To celebrate this milestone, I wanted to have a giveaway.  I love RAK's (random acts of kindness), especially when it's giving someone Stampin' Up! products!!!

Here are the details for the giveaway:

1. Share you favorite video from my channel. - 1 Entry
2. Comment below "Shared" - 1 Entry

Update!!! Sorry this is open to U.S. residents only :(

What You will WIN!!!  
July 2017 Paper Pumpkin (designed by Stampin' Up! CEO Sara)
6x6 Paper Stack - Cupcakes & Carousels
2017-2018 In-Color Enamel Shapes
plus a surprise!!!


This will be open till October 30th, 5pm Central.  I will draw a name that evening and announce on my Faebook Page!



Thank you from the bottom of my buggy heart!!!

Hugs from the Bug,
Denise

Coffee Cup Treat Box or is it a Planter??


In getting ready for my first craft fair as a Stampin' Up! Demonstrator, I have come found some great ideas. 

One of them was the Coffee Cup Treat Holder, which I made several of.  But then I thought, how can I make this a little diverse?  Oh why not a planter, with seeds....wouldn't that be a great Christmas present for the avid gardener??  

Check out my YouTube below for a few more versions.

Measurements & Supplies for the holder, including links to Online Shopping:

Old Olive Cardstock - Cut a 2 1/2" x 11" strip of cardstock. Score at 3/4", 3 1/4", 4" and 6 1/2".

2" circle punch - Use to punch a center hole in between the 3/4" and 3 1/4" score marks. This is the hole your cup will sit in. Save the 2" punched out circle for use later.

Fold score lines in, bringing the bottom 3/4" flap to be glued to the back side large flap. This will form the cup holder. Adhere with fast fuse or liquid glue.

Cut a strip of 1/2" x 6" Old Olive cardstock. Wrap it around the cup and glue the ends together in the back. - This will be used for the seed packet in front (or gift card)

Delightful Daisy Designer Series Paper - for wrap around cup, the template - I cut one of the cups and then cut the top and bottom thick pieces. (see video please) - for the strip on front of holder 2 3/8 x 5/8"

Daisy Punch & Stamp Set Bundle - I stamped and punched two Daisy's in Crumb Cake Stampin' Ink.
  Cut both daisy's, by removing the 3 petals and than layer alternately, add dimensionals on back and adhere to 2" circle cut earlier (add sentiment first though).

1/2" Circle Punch & Softly Falling Textured Impressions Embossing Folder, Early Espresso Cardstock - take a 1" strip (any length longer than 3/4") emboss, than punch out a circle for the "black eye"

Teeny Tiny Wishes Clear Mount - "Just For You" sentiment

For top of lid -
1 3/4" Circle Punch - punch out of scrap Old Olive Cardstock
1 1/2" Circle Punch - punch out of scrap Delight Daisy DSP

Measurements & Supplies for the seed packet:

Delightful Daisy Designer Series Paper (DSP) - cut at 4 5/16" x 4 7/6"
 1. Long Side - score at 1/2", 2 3/4"
 2. Short Side - score at 1/2", 4"

Other Supplies Used:

Snail Adhesive, Simply Scored, Stampin' Trimmer, D Block, H block

YouTube on How to Complete, including where did I put the seeds?

Sparkling Cider Bottle Box

I was looking for some gift and craft fair ideas, and came across this bottle of Sparkling Cider. But then I had to come up with a box for them.  I scanned the internet and found a similar one but it had no details so I broke out my copy paper and designed a box.


I love copy paper for creating 3-d projects, as it takes me several times to get it all the right measurements.  This one I will say though was fairly simple. 

I would love to see your versions of this box!!!

Recipe for the above:
1 – 8 ½ x 11 Cardstock Whisper White
4 – 6 x 2 ¼ Merry Little Christmas DSP
1 – 3 ¼ x 2 Old Olive
1 – 3 ¼ x 2 Vellum
1 – 16” piece of Jute Twine
1 Green Sprig
Stampin’ Up! Basic Black Archival Ink
VersaMark
Embossing Buddy
Clear Embossing Powder


Measurements:
On the long side of your paper (11” side) score at 2 ½, 5, 7 ½, & 10
On the short side of your paper (8 ½” side) score at 2 ¼ and 7 ½


I have a YouTube on how to put this together, below.


And during the month of October, Stampin’ Up! is having a Buy 3 Get 1 FREE on most Designer Series Pack & Hostess Special.


 

Also, when you purchase $50 (at one time), you will a FREE package of our new Acetate Card Boxes in November from me!!!!  Please make sure you use the October Hostess Code – 4TGPFQYW
