When I created my DIY Treat Pouch, I had a purpose in mind. I was heading on an adventure to Italy to do some hiking and I wanted to bring a useful gift for my friend. Here is the pouch I made for her.<br><br></br>

Have you finished creating your adorable Friends for Life cards? Fantastic! Now let's give them a stylish and protective home.

I am thrilled to celebrate my 25th anniversary as a Stampin' Up! demonstrator with Missy Shipman! This milestone is a testament to the joy, creativity, and community that Stampin' Up! has brought into our lives! To mark this special occasion, Missy Shipman, and I are bringing you some exciting alternate projects using the Stampin' Up! Expressions of Kindness Kit.<br><br></br>

I'll guide you through creating a beautiful gift card holder using some of the supplies in this kit. It’s more than just a craft, it's a way to infuse your personality into your gift-giving. Meanwhile, Missy will show you how to make a charming gift box to store your handmade gift cards or small treats in style!<br><br></br>

Embrace Positivi-TEA with a DIY Tea Bag Wallet and Card! <br><br></br>

Forget January blues! Instead, brew a cup of cheer with this easy-to-make tea bag wallet that is perfect for spreading positivi-tea. <br><br></br>

Missy Shipman of Glad Heart Stampers and I are celebrating a milestone—25 years of crafting magic with Stampin’ Up! Missy is one of the most positive people I know, which makes today’s project even more special! <br><br></br>

I LOVE the start of a new year, and I had lots of plans that I couldn’t wait to dive into. Life throws curveballs, and sometimes, like me when I ruptured both eardrums on January 2nd, it disrupts even the best-laid plans. But instead of getting bogged down, I chose to steep myself in gratitude and positivity. It's a mindset dear friends! <br><br></br>

Missy and I teamed up to kick off 2024 with a tea-riffic paper share class, offering this adorable tea bag wallet and card as a bonus for anyone who placed orders during the class.<br><br></br>

At one of my last classes, I surprised my guests with a special treat! I gave each guest a Ube Snowman Treat Box! If you are unfamiliar with what UBE is, it is a purple yam that has a sweet, coconut like taste. Ube is popular here in Hawaii in all kinds of dishes and even desserts!<br><br></br>

This little box is made from one of our new scalloped gift card boxes. If you don’t want to use this box as a gift card holder, just remove the gift card insert and you’ll have space for a fun treat! Want to see the fun “UBE” themed treat I placed inside this box? Watch the video. <br><br></br>
