Creation Station Blog Hop - Tweets & Treats

  Hello and welcome

My name is Vicki Boucher, and I am from Melbourne, Australia. This is the latest hop with the design team at Creation Station, if you have come from Martin Stone or you may have started with me. Please make sure you hop around and see everyone's amazing projects. I'll pop a link at the end of my blog to hop around....

The design team at Creation Station are presenting their projects with the theme "Tweets or Treats" anything 3D.

Today's project I've created two Christmas gift packages using the Peekaboo Treat Bags (159252) and other Stampin' Up! products which are located in either the Annual Stampin' Up 2022 - 2023 Catalogue and the Mini July - Dec 2022 Catalogue. I love the treat bags they come in Kraft and White and they are food safe. I've placed a couple of gingerbread biscuits inside them for show. 

Noel Kraft Peekaboo Treat Bag

For my first treat bag I've used the natural Kraft package, using the cluster of stars stamp which is from Spruced Up Stamp Set and stamped it in Crumb Cake ink. I added different types of ribbon and baker's twine for a natural look. 

My go to at the moment is the Celebration Tag Dies which I just love so much! The cute gift tag is die-cut out in Kraft Paper, then I added Soft Suede ink with a Blending Brush and I used the Celebrate with Tags Stamp Set for the To: and From: in Soft Suede ink. The stitched heart & snowflake are die-cut out using Very Vanilla Cardstock and sponged using Crumb Cake ink.

The cute natural wood elements are from the Santa Express Memories & More card pack (159595) there are a variety of different words for Christmas and other occasions, plus stars as well. I use the Fine Tip Glue Pen for these elements.

Made with Love White Peekaboo Treat Bag

Next is a traditional red and white treat bag, this could be for Christmas or any occasion. I love the sentiment from the Celebrate with Tags Stamp Set, I've heat embossed it by stamping the image in Versamark onto Real Red Cardstock, add White Stampin' Emboss Powder and heat set with the Heat Tool. There is a label die to die-cut out the sentiment and I just used the paper snips scissors to cut out the word "with".

I used the same tag die from the Celebrations Tag Dies, die-cut out three tags one in Real Red Cardstock, Snowflake Specialty Vellum and layered over in Basic White Cardstock. The snow flake is die-cut out the same sheet of  Snowflake Specialty Vellum. The cute winter gloves are stamped in Real Red ink onto Basic White Cardstock and die-cut out. To finish off the tag I added White Glittered Organdy Ribbon and White Baker's Twine.

To add some love to the white treat bag, I used the cluster of hearts stamp and stamped the image in Real Red ink. Plus two stitched Real Red hearts.

Creation Station April Blog Hop - Sweet Treat Packages

Hello and welcome,

Today's projects for April 2021 Creation Station blog hop is all about "Sweet Treat Packages" using Stampin' Up! products. There are a number of different stamp sets in both the Mini and Annual Stampin' Up! Catalogues to create into cute packages. I'm so looking forward to seeing all the other design Team Members projects so make sure you click on the link at the bottom of my blog. 

For my project I've used the Mini Pizza Boxes which sadly they are retiring from the Annual Catalogue you have until the end of May 2021 unless sold out. I have created three packages for my blog today. Once I started on one, I just had to create two more! 

I just love the Sweet Ice Cream Bundle on page 49 of the Jan to June Mini Catalogue. The stamp set comes with the Ice Cream Cone Builder Punch and creates yummy projects! I think I'm going to need ice cream after I've finished writing this blog. The weather this weekend in Melbourne is perfect for ice cream.

Each box has a strip of DSP wrapped around each of the boxes, I've cut at 3 1/2" x 10 1/2" and scored at 1 1/2", 2 1/2", 6" and 7"

YUM! 3D Mini Pizza Box

DSP - Fine Art Floral Designer Series Paper I've used the sheet in Bumblebee which goes well with So Saffron and Highland Heather Ink. I'm loving this combination it's so pretty! Using the Painted Texture 3D Embossing Folder I've embossed a piece of Basic White Cardstock cut at 3 1/4" x 3 1/4" and lightly added Highland Heather Ink. It reminds me of layers of ice cream. 

The Mini Pizza Box is coloured in lightly with So Saffron Ink with the Blending Brush.

The Playful Alphabet Dies can create any worlds for your projects so I've created YUM! in a Ombre look with Highland Heather Ink. The Bumblebee Gingham Ribbon ties nicely in a bow around the box. You need sprinkles on your ice cream, so I added the Ice Cream Corner Sprinkles in Daffodil Delight and Purple Posy.

Happy Birthday 3D Mini Pizza Box

DSP - Ice Cream Corner Designer Series Paper I've used the sheet in Cinnamon Cider with the waffle cone print. Cinnamon Cider and Magenta Madness goes well together using ink, paper and ribbon.

I've coloured the box in Cinnamon Cider Ink with the Blending Brush and also on the Basic White Cardstock which is die cut out using the stitched swirl die from the Painted Labels. Using the spotty stamp I've stamped randomly in Cinnamon Cider onto the stitched circle.

Wrapping around the box with Magenta Madness Twill Ribbon and tied in a bow. Adding a few of the Magenta Madness Enamel Dots to finish of this project.

SWEET 3D Mini Pizza Box

DSP - Sand & Sea Designer Series Paper I've used the swirl sheet in So Saffron and Melon Mambo when I see this DSP it reminds me of swirls of ice cream. The colours of So Saffron and Melon Mambo combined together are so sweet and who doesn't want a triple treat ice cream on a cone! I added sprinkles in Daffodil Delight using the Ice Cream Corner Sprinkles Embellishments. 

The spotty stamp was used again but this time on Basic White Cardstock cut at 3 1/4" x 3 1/4" stamped in So Saffron Ink. The Stitched swirl die cut with Basic White Cardstock and lightly sponged Melon Mambo Ink with the Blending Brush. 

I've created a Ombre look using the Playful Alphabet Dies using the letters to create SWEET in Melon Mambo. Finishing off by wrapping the White Polka Dot Ribbon (also retiring) around the box. I've kept the Mini Pizza Box white.

Now it's time to visit the lovely Jeanna Kay to see her amazing creations and visit her blog. I'm looking forward to reading all about her Sweet Treat Packages! I'm sure you will too.
