Cool Treats for Teacher Appreciation

I have a quick post for you this afternoon. As you probably know, it was Teacher Appreciation Week this week. I would have loved to do something for Jenna's teacher every day, but that just wasn't going to happen this year. So we did a fun gift today, and her teacher loved it!

I thought the Cool Treats stamp set and Frozen Treats Framelits would go perfectly with an ice cream gift. The card is just flat, and we wrote on the back. Ice cream toppings fit nicely in the 6 x 17 Gusseted Cello Bags, and I tied it all up with the Lemon Lime Twist Mini Striped Ribbon. Most of these products are retiring, so make sure to snatch them up before they disappear! This gift would also be great as an end of the year teacher gift, so if you missed out on Teacher Appreciation, keep that in mind.

Stamps: Cool Treats
Ink: Flirty Flamingo, Pool Party, Lemon Lime Twist, Crumb Cake
Paper: Flirty Flamingo, Whisper White
Accessories & Tools: Frozen Treats Framelits, Big Shot, Whisper White Baker's Twine, Silver Mini Sequin Trim, Lemon Lime Twist Mini Striped Ribbon, 6 x 17 Gusseted Cello Bags

Happy Stamping!

Sprinkled With Love: Paper Pumpkin May 2017

Today's post is all about Paper Pumpkin! Have you heard about Paper Pumpkin? It's one of my favorite products that Stampin' Up! offers! Paper Pumpkin is a monthly subscription kit, and every month you get all of the supplies to make a set of cards or a project, all wrapped up in one little box. Here are a few pictures of past kits to give you an idea.

This month's kit was donut-themed, and there were supplies to make 9 round cards, plus lots of extras!

I also made an additional card to give you an idea of what you can do with your leftovers and a few extra supplies.

To get the words to line up correctly in the circle, I did cut my stamps apart. You can do this to gain a little more versatility with your stamps, and they line back up perfectly like a puzzle so that you can use them as intended too. The extra supplies I used on this card were Crumb Cake, Powder Pink, Soft Suede and Whisper White cardstock, Tasty Treats Specialty DSP, Stitched Shapes Framelits, Layering Circles Framelits, Frozen Treats Framelits, and the Big Shot.


Each Paper Pumpkin kit comes with at least one ink spot and an exclusive stamp set. Those are yours to keep and use over and over again, so it's a good way to build up your ink collection! If you're not satisfied with a kit you receive, just contact Stampin' Up! and they will make it right. However, there are SO many alternative ideas every month on Pinterest and in the Paper Pumpkin Fan Club group on Facebook that I've never had a problem finding something fun to do with my kit. I really enjoy getting some fun mail every month, and having an easy and cute project to put together (that someone else thought up and designed for me)!
