Freebie Friday Warm Hugs

 WOW you guys.... I don't typically jump on the Christmas prep wagon so soon, but this pandemic and new-found Stampin Up adventure has me wanting to make this Christmas holiday extra special!  We NEED that, right?!?  So this week I'm featuring more Christmas prep goodness with two cards and an easy gift box featuring Stampin Up's limited edition holiday bundle:  Warm Hugs.  To be quite honest I purchased the WHOLE SHBANG.... the entire suite of products that includes DSP, dies, TWO stamp sets, embossing folders, paper cups with holders, ribbon, embellishments... you get my point.... A LOT!  Now, if you're making a crazy amount of cards and gifts for Christmas, this suite is SOOOO worth the investment, but today we're just featuring the bundle in the suite:  Warm Hugs Bundle.  As always, the link to the free PDF with all the products used and measurements will be posted below the last pic in this post.... check it out.  Remember, any order in my online store using Hostess Code 7FHHJEE2 will receive all three of these make n' take kits for free, CLICK HERE to go to my online store.  

So I've been focusing on keeping all the projects quick and easy as I figured with us being so disconnected from friends and loved ones this year, we'll be wanting to increase the number of cards and gifts going out.  Well.... if you're having to pound out 100+ of anything, you want to keep it simple and easy to "assembly line" it!  First up is the banner card:


There is NOT going to be an easier card!  hahahahaha!  Easy, straight forward and if you replace the embossed piece with the star sheet from the Wonderful Time Refill kit (that we featured in the recorded video) that saves you even more time!  But I DO love the pop from that Tin Tile 3D embossing folder.  BTW, because I replaced it with the star sheet from the refill kit, it mysteriously came up missing on the product list.  Just so you have it, here's the item number:  151801 and the price on that embossing folder is $10.00.


Okay... next up is the gift box made simply using one of the mini paper pumpkin boxes.  This thing will fit SO much!  I intend to fill it with holiday tags and gift it.  But you can fill it with candy, cards, I've seen hot cocoa fixins and s'mores fixins.... even a tool set!  Check pinterest for TONS of ideas!


Last up is this label card featured on the mini paper pumpkin box project above, this one features a tag from that oh-so-versatile Hippo Happiness Bundle!  Now, I'll be honest, when I first saw that set I thought it was a little too cutesy for my taste.  Turns out I was TOTALLY wrong and it is an AMAZING set with TONS of different labels and those cutesy images have been used way more than I would have originally imagined.  I mean, "when in doubt be a unicorn".... GOLD!  And I did put that Tin Tile 3D embossing folder to good use again!  I am IN LOVE with that folder at the moment!  Anyway, another simple card you can do a million of quickly!!!  Here's the link to this week's FREE PDF:  CLICK HERE, and if the hostess code looks familiar... that's because it is! hahahahaha!  Due to time constraints this week we're recycling from last week!  LOL!

Okay everyone, that about does it this week.... have a great one and be on the lookout for November's AWESOME Christmas class.  Schedule will be released next week.  I can hardly wait to show you all the goodies coming in this class..... DID SOMEONE SAY INTERACTIVE MINI BOOK????

MY VERY FIRST CRICUT CARTRIDGE GIVE AWAY!

Ok ... so the time has come. I've got some BRAND NEW, NEVER BEEN USED, STILL IN THE PLASTIC Cricut Cartridges to give away over the next couple of months and it starts with one of my ALL-TIME FAVORITES...... Hannah Montana! YAY! I LOVE this cartridge! It's got the most beautiful guitar images along with musical notes and FIVE fonts! I used the regular font and the rock star font to create my Father's Day card this year (see above). I also used the Hannah Montana cart (see below) to create a beautiful butterfly (FREE Gypsy cut file HERE ), and am currently working on a project using the gorgeous solitaire diamond. There's a rose and lips and decorative hearts, even a Pegasus ! There's just so much on this cartridge.... I use it a lot! To call this a "font" cartridge is terribly misleading. It's been a long time favorite and now I'm THRILLED to be able to give it away to one of my awesome readers! So here's how to win: Become one of my follower

The Old Clunker

A few years back I received a Creative Zen Micro Photo for Christmas. It was wonderful! The fact that I could finally carry around all my music in a super small (or I thought at the time)2.25" x 3.5" music player was sheer freedom from carrying around that old, large, portable cd player and I won't even go into the tons of music cds that also had to go along for the ride. Ok... so I'll mention them briefly, hahahahaha! And I was also surprised by how much lighter this music player was. At 5.5 oz., wearing it fashionably on an armstrap to the gym put me in the leagues with the top fitness buffs. Then something shifted... I was no longer hip, or in, or cool anymore. Suddenly everything shrunk and my music player was now a gigantic dinosaur! What the heck?!? Now everyone was sporting music players that were as big as the face of a watch and were a million times lighter than mine. All of a sudden I was back in the 7th grade trying to convince my mom to buy me the latest
