Catalog Survival Kit in Mini Suitcase

 


Here is one of my Onstage gifts to the Queens of the Stamp Age group! 
I used the Mini Suitcase (online exclusive) to make a Catalog Survival Kit. At Onstage we all got the new catalog and I thought this would be a fun idea for my friends to share with their stampin' friends. 


For the suitcase I cut the Cute As Can Bee Designer Series Paper (DSP)
1" x 2 3/4" & 2 3/4" x 3 1/2"
Bubble Bath: 3" x  3" (die cut with Hearts of Elegance heart and embossed with the 3D Eyelet Embossing Folder)
Petunia Pop: 2" x 2 1/2" (die cut book from For the Books)
scrap of Basic White & Summer Splash


Inside the suitcase I put chapstick, heart shaped paper clips, heart shaped Band-Aid, shopping list and pen, post-it notes (heart shaped), and heart shaped chocolate. Most of these items were found on Amazon or a Costco. 
Are you catching my theme...?

HEARTS!!!


They all fit snuggly inside the suitcase! 

These were a huge hit with my friends! I highly recommend shopping my online store to create some of your own mini Suitcases. 


Happy Stampin' Everyone!!!

New at SU Blog Hop- Beautiful Backgrounds with Hearts

 


Welcome to the NEW AT SU! Blog hop! We are a group of Stampin’ Up! Independent Demonstrators from around the world who are full of creative paper crafting ideas to share with you and get you crafting! We are showing you today how to make
BEAUTIFUL BACKGROUNDS.
I'm Rachael Coon with the Joy of Stampin' with Rachael and I used the Hearts of Elegance Dies to create a fun background for my card!


I made this card using the Hearts of Elegance Dies. This card was made for a Texture Swap at Onstage (a Stampin' UP! Convention). 


All I did was die cut the hearts, glue them onto the Summer Splash cardstock, and picked one of my favorite embossing folders to run through the Stampin' Cut & Emboss Machine. 
This can be used with lots of different shapes that you can die cut or punch out. I kept it all one color, but you could even change up the colors of the hearts/shape. 


I made sure to emboss the inside to match the front and just a little more texture. 



Next time you make a card, give this fun background technique a try!
