I have several Crystal Light containers just sitting around waiting to be turned into something special. I had an idea yesterday. My husband and I are going to be the AWANA Commanders at our church beginning this fall. In our AWANA we have a store to motivate the kids to learn their verses. I thought I’d try these special Pencil Cases in the store and see if the kids like them.
Motorcycle stamp set
I used our Motorcycle stamp to decorate this container for some little guy. I used Stampin’ Write Markers in Pear Pizzazz, Poppy Parade, Concord Grape and Peach Parfait to color in the motorcycles. These are In-colors and seemed like the “in” sort of thing to do.
Flower Fancy stamp set
The motorcycles took me a while to stamp and color so when I got to the second container I was looking for something fast and easy. The Flower Fancy stamp set fits the bill wonderfully with it’s two step stamping. This one didn’t take any time at all to stamp and put together.
So, what do you think? Will they interest any of the kids? We’ll see!
I’m a little late with my Stamp-A-Holic challenge again. Sorry! This week has been absolutely crazy but I finally had a chance to sit down and do some stamping. I had this sketch to work with and I decided to use it on a journal. Since that’s a 3-D item, I have 30 minutes to work.
Time to start!
I have my idea and I’m ready to go!
Vintage Wallpaper embossing folder
I grabbed up a piece of Whisper White cardstock and ran it through the Big Shot with the Vintage Wallpaper embossing folder twice (this sheet of paper is 5 3/4″ x 8″ in size). Then I used the Spiral Border Punch on one side.
Concord Crush ribbon
The next step was to grab up some Whisper White taffeta ribbon and my Concord Grape Stampin’ Write Marker. After a little coloring I had my own Concord Grape taffeta ribbon, a whole bunch of it!
Becuase I Care stamp set
The Because I Care stamp set along with Concord Grape, Bashful Blue, Pear Pizzazz and Always Artichoke work wonderfully together!
Stampin' Up! On Board Art Journal
Next I grabbed up a Stampin’ up! On Board Art Journal and some Tombo Multi Adhesive ready to do some serious adhering to the front of that journal!
Done!
It looks like I’m half a minute over my time. Think that will be okay?? Do you want to see the finished journal?
Art journal - decorated!
Here it is! My journal. Now, to be totally honest, I don’t journal. However, I’ve been challenged to try journaling about my stamping and what I try with my business and how it works. It should be interesting.
Because I Care Journal
Here’s the front view. I like the texture, the colors and all the ribbon! What do you think? It should be interesting to see if I keep up with writing in it now!

I think this is the last handmade box for a little while (a couple days anyway). I made this box out of Pacific Point cardstock and the Vintage Vogue stamp set. The box is perfect for giving handmade cards along with envelopes for a gift! The lid of the box is made from acetate so [...]
I hope you’re not tired of seeing handmade boxes yet! With two box classes it’s kind of hard not to show off the beautiful handmade boxes we’re making! I promise I will get back to hand stamped cards and scrapbook pages one of these days soon! I used the Flower Fancy and Because I Care [...]
I had fun making this little box! Of course the fact that I was using the lovely Because I Care stamp set probably helped! It’s always fun to work with this level 1 hostess stamp set As in my one handmade Because I Care card, I used Concord Crush, Bashful Blue and Whisper White. If [...]
