A Fantastic TREAT! – Easy hostess gift idea

Posted on by Shop Manager
08 Jul

A little glitter can go a long way. You can dress up any ordinary object and make it sparkle.

Do you need a quick hostess or gift idea? Check out this cute jar of kisses. We took a basic mini jar added a little dazzle. The silver jar lid was in need of a little sparkle. All you need is silver glitter card stock, a small jar and candy.

 

We used a circle punch to cut out a circle shape that matched the diameter of the jar lid. We added a little more pizazz with a hand stamped tag and a few tassels. The tag also features a small peek of silver glitter card stock.

Supplies:

It’s your DAY TO SHINE! – coloring and stamping on glitter card stock

Happy Monday! Let’s start off the week with a happy and life affirming message, ‘It’s Your Day to Shine’!

This fun card makes our white glitter card stock shine! Have you tried coloring on glitter card stock? It’s easy to do if you take a careful and light touch approach. Since our glitter card stock does not shed, the glitter stays put.

For this card we used a stamp set and dies from Concord & 9th. The lightbulb was stamped in an archival black ink on our glitter card stock. Then we colored the light bulb using various shade of yellow Copic sketch markers. Next we stamped the greeting inside the lightbulb. We used a basic stamp alignment tool (like a Misti) to stamp the greeting multiple times to for better ink coverage and to get that deep black ink look. The image was then cut using the coordinating lightbulb die and a Big Shot manual die cutter. The card came together quickly from there.

Card supplies:

  • White glitter card stock (non-shed)– ETC Papers
  • Silver metallic card stock
  • Yellow and white card stock – ARC Papers
  • Stamp set of choice – we used a retired set from Concord & 9th
  • Alcohol based makers – we used Copic markers
  • Sequins – Studio Calico
  • Washi tape
  • Library card from Studio Calico
  • Archival Ink – We used Ranger Archival Ink
  • Adhesive
  • Die cut machine – We used a Big Shot
  • Stamp alignment tool – We used a Misti

Proudly made in the USA!

Did you know our wood products and manufactured in the USA? Yes! All of our Real Wood Papers are grown nationally from sustainable forests.

A little on how our Real Wood Papers are produced:

Large sheets are carefully extracted from nature’s canvas, pressed into thin sheets and backed with either paper or adhesive. Then they are cut and packaged into our assortment of fine products and ready to be shipped to you!

We created this USA Map home decor piece using a roll of our Rustic Birch Wood paper.

Supplies: Rustic Birch Wood Roll, 12×18 piece of chipboard, USA map outline, ribbon, paper flower embellishments, hobby blade and hole punch.

  1. Line a piece of 12″ x 18″ chipboard will a roll of Rustic Birch Wood paper. Press flat and remove all air bubbles.
  2. Trace the outline of the shape of the USA on the backside of the chipboard. Make sure the USA map is flipped so it is right reading from the front of the project.
  3. Cut out the USA shape with scissors or a hobby blade.
  4. Arrange an assortment of paper flowers on top of the Rustic Birch Wood USA. We placed our flowers over the Pacific Northwest.
  5. Punch a hole on each and hand hang with ribbon.
