Pick of the Week at The House that Stamps Built!

Hello there!


It's my day to share a Pick of the Week at The House that Stamps Built. The Repeat Impressions Stamps that I picked to showcase are:


Here is my project...some fun but clean and simple treats for Thanksgiving:


Let's get started!

You will need one piece of cardstock measuring 5.25" x 2.25" for your candy 'tray'.
With the short edge at the top of your score board, score at 3/8" one each outside edge.


You will need a second piece of cardstock that measures 5" x 2". 
With the long side at the top of your score board, score at 2.5"


On the 5" x 2" piece, decide which is the front, and begin stamping as desired. I used a Kaleidacolor ink pad with my Repeat Impressions Stamps, and a bit of Washi tape to decorate mine.

Now, it's time to wrap 5 nugget candies. The wraps are cut from patterned paper, and measure 3.25" x 1".  I just used my tape runner on the back and wrapped them up!


Put a glue dot on the bottom of each wrapped nugget, and place it on the 'tray'.


When your tray is full, slide it into a 2" wide plastic bag. I get mine at Hobby Lobby or Wal-Mart.


You'll need to fold the plastic bag down a bit for the 'cover' to fit right.  I used Scor-Tape on my 'cover' so that it would stick nicely over the plastic sleeves.

Ta-da!


Won't these be pretty at your dinner table on Thanksgiving Day?
Or...teacher gifts, postman, UPS driver, Wal-Mart checker, someone you meet in town that looks sad...the possibilities are endless!

Hope you will give this a try - it really is easy, makes such a fun project, and is a great way to use those scraps of cardstock and yummy paper that we tend to save ration hoard!!!

For this week only (10-28-19 through 11-3-19)), get 20% Off the stamps used in Patti’s creation above when you use the coupon code POTW102819.

Hugs and blessings,

A few more never seen items...

Happy Saturday!

Here are a few more items that have never seen blogland!

Give me a shout if you have questions, otherwise, enjoy!

First, this is a rack that my BFF Shirley's hubby built to hold my wooden stamps (well half of them, anyway)!  I love having them where I can see them, but use wooden stamps so seldom anymore. The rack is fabulous, and Wayne did a wonderful job.








Another effort using Yupo Paper, Alcohol Inks, and Alcohol Lift-Off Ink Pad






Thanks for stopping by!

Lots of Chocolate Bars!

Howdy, friends!

I made up some fun candy wraps for the small sized candy bars, and thought I'd share them today. They can be decorated for any occasion, and you get 10 of the bars for just over one dollar, so what a bargain!

I'd love to take credit for this design, but I found it on Angie Juda's blog: chicnscratch.com




Here's the 'recipe' for success!

Cardstock Base: 7.5" x 3.5"
Cut and score on long side at: 1.25", 1 5/8", 2 7/8" 3.25"
Designer paper: Cut one at 3.25" x 3.25" 
Cut one at 3.25" x 1"

Once you score the cardstock, you will know where to attach your Designer Papers, and where to adhere your Scor-Tape (or adhesive of choice).

Have fun with these - Once pieces were cut, I made ALL of these in 2 hours while in my recliner with my feet up!

Hugs,
Patti J.

Shine on little die...shine on!

Hi there, crafty peeps!
I'm here today with my post for Die-Versions Dies.
I may possibly have a new favorite DV die!
If you recall, I made some little table favors for Thanksging/Fall, using the Die-Version Whispers "Chrysanthemum" DVW-4 x 4-121 Die.  
As I looked at my blog post a few days later, a light went on - pun intended!
Why not replace the candY with a candLE?  Whoop whoop!

Candles unlit

Candles lit - lights on

Candles lit - lights off

Candles lit - lights on - view from the top!

There are two for fall/Thanksgiving, and two for Christmas/winter.
Which are your favorites?


Now, I'm thinking Birthdays, Baby Showers, Wedding Showers....oh my, the possibilities are endless!  Little die, let your light shine!!!

In case you didn't get here for the Die-Versions, Great Impressions Blog Hop, here is what this die looks like as a candy favor:


Thanks for stopping by today!
Hope you get your own Chrysanthemum Die - would love to see your creations!

Be sure to stop in and check out the daily inspiration on the Die-Versions Blog!

Hugs and grins,
Patti J.
