Banners for You Sneak Peek of New Products Coming!

Today's project use two new products of the upcoming 2019-2020 Stampin' Up! Catalog! If you don't want to see any of the new goodies yet then stop the bus right there and don't go down any farther, however you really want to see the new stuff! If you would like the new Stampin' Up Catalog find out how to get your copy from me HERE.

 My project used the new In Color Terracotta Tile. I am in love with the new In Colors they are right up my alley and you are going to LOVE them too! I attended Onstage in Minneapolis in April and was so lucky to see some of the new product and it is FABULOUS! You will be able to order from the new Stampin' Up! Catalog on June 4, 2019.

Today's project is a gift I made for our mom's and aunt for Mother's Day. I love making 3 x 3 cards they are just perfect to go with any gift. I used the soon to be retired Banners for You Photopolymer Stamp Set item #141710 and the Itty Bitty Greetings Stamp Set available in Wood Mount (W) item #14664 or Clear Mount (C) item #146667 to create my 3 x 3 card.

Make your message stand out by putting it on a banner. This set has greetings to cover most occasions, big and small. This is a Two-Step Stampin’ set. Combine individual stamps to build the final image you want in the colors you want. This Stamp Set is retiring so be sure to get it before it is gone! Check out the Last Chance Here.

I cut a piece of Whisper White Thick card stock 3" x 6" and scored it at 3" with the Simply Scored Scoring Tool. Using the images from the Banners for You Stamp Set I stamped the flowers in the following colors; Tranquil Tide, Pineapple Punch, Soft Seafoam and Terracotta Tile. I then took the "happy mother's day" from Itty Bitty Greetings Stamp Set; inked in Tuxedo Black and stamped onto the 3 x 3 card. To finish I wrapped some Linen Thread around the card.

This is one of my main go to stamp sets that I own. It has greeting for any occasion and simply is a must have!

On the inside I kept it simple. Stamped a leaf image in Trangquil Tide and the flower in Terracotta Tile. I used the the images from the Banners for You Stamp Set.

The next part of the gift I created was some Terracotta Pots so fitting to go with the new In Color Terracotta Tile. lol I cut out some white vinyl with my e cutter and placed onto the pots. Then place a flower inside and packaged up. I created a cute little tag using the Stitched Nested Label item #149638 another awesome new product in the Stampin' Up! 2019-2020 catalog that you will be able to order June 4, 2019! I created the tags using the Big Shot Die Cutting Machine and zipping the Whisper White Thick card stock through with the Stitched Nested Label; die cutting out a tag. I used the images from Banners for You Stamp Set and inked them in Soft Seafoam, Terracotta Tile and Tuxedo Black Memento Ink. I attached the tag with Linen Thread. The little pots were so fun to create! I have made up some more and have them listed in my Etsy Store.

For my mother in-law hubby wanted to make this for his mom so we did. lol I think I have really rubbed off on him, since that is definitely something I would say to my mom. lol This too is available in our Etsy Shop!

This is another gift we created for our family members and is part of the "Year Gift" we made. If you would like to see more info about this awesome project we created and what I've shared so far click on the little tag on the left side of my blog labeled Year of Gifts or visit HERE or visit my pinterest board  Rubber Redneck Year Gifts to see them all in one spot.

At the beginning of each month; each family had a box to open on the first of the month besides the random days we picked out of each month.  In this month box is a fact sheet we put together about the month it includes the following: the history of the month's name, historical things that happened for the month on select dates, and what the month is know for. (It's pretty cool as I am a huge history buff so I love these sheets we created!) Each month is also know for a lot of things so we just picked a few things that we thought would be fun to learn about. February Box features the following; National Cherry Month, American Heart Month and Canned Food Month.

National Cherry Month was a bit hard to do because it is winter here and no cherries lol so I used some retired cherry paper and wrapped around some cherry tic tacs we found. Then for American Heart Month we picked up cheerios since those are supposed to be good for you and printed out Eat Healthy then die cut out a heart in Whisper White card stock. Canned food month I created a tag using the Banners For You Stamp Set and attached it to the can of corn. I use this set a lot to create tags.

Family Gifts: November Box + Thanksgiving Day

November Month Box

This is another gift we created for our family members and is part of the "Year Gift" we made. If you would like to see more info about this awesome project we created and what I've shared so far click on the little tag on the left side of my blog labeled Year of Gifts or visit HERE or visit my pinterest board  Rubber Redneck Year Gifts to see them all in one spot.

At the beginning of each month; each family had a box to open on the first of the month besides the random days we picked out of each month.  In this month box is a fact sheet we put together about the month it includes the following: the history of the month's name, historical things that happened for the month on select dates, and what the month is know for. (It's pretty cool as I am a huge history buff so I love these sheets we created!) Each month is also know for a lot of things so we just picked a few things that we thought would be fun to learn about. November Box features the following; Puzzle Week, Thanksgiving Family, and Black Friday.

What we did: 

For Thanksgiving: We had a bit of fun with this. I decorated pudding boxes by making punch turkeys. I used some retired dsp from my stash along with card stock. I used the following Circle Punches to create this, 2", 1 3/4", 1 1/4", 1", 3/4", and 1/8 hand held punch. Supper easy and fun to make. These would make great table decorations! I also found some table cloths that you color in that had turkeys and etc all over them. The kids adored them.

Two of the siblings received these photo frames. I used some dsp from another company from my stash to decorate. I modgepodge the dsp onto the wood frame. I found some family chipboard pieces and painted them yellow and hot glued them to the frame.

Then to be funny we have two brothers that we never get to have thanksgiving with on thanksgiving day. My brother works at Target and the other brother hosts an annual gathering at their home. We thought it would be hilarious to provide thanksgiving fixings all but the turkey....what I hadn't planned on is that I would be eating one of these meals. So that prank backfired on me karma right?? lol

Black Friday: Another one of those ideas that we just had fun with, we made 3 kits the same and then a real special one for my brother ;). I put the kits in a White lunch bag, made a tag and attached with some retired washi tape.

This Kit included the following: Notepad, Rubber gloves to leave no fingerprints, ninja star, rubber bands, bat whistle, band-aids, money and hand sanitizer.

As I mentioned my brother works at Target and over the years there are a lot of stories of stuff that has happened to my brother or in the stores he's worked in. So to give my brother a laugh we put this kit together for him along with a paper print out of what each item was for.

The Print Out Reads:

Working Black Friday, we know can be EXTREMLY dangerous so the elves have put together a special survival kit just for you to help you survive all those crazy Target Shoppers. In this survival kit, you will find the following:

1- Camouflage bag aka target bag: (this will help you get past security) and nobody will suspect what is inside.
1- Dr. Scholl’s Insoles: this will help keep your feet fresh and comfortable after spending hours chasing those the crazy shoppers and wayward children.
1- Roll of Duct Tape: use in case of emergency patching or extremely rowdy customer.
1- Hand Sanitizer: to try to stay somewhat healthy, Christmas is right around the corner after all and you need to be healthy to wrap my presents.
1- Whistle: In case you get overrun whistle for help.
1- Set of Ninja Stars: break out these bad boys for the EXTREMELY aggressive shopper. You can also use them to help secure that last item that you are shopping for encase there is competition.
1- Pair of Latex Free Rubber Gloves: wear these in case you end up using the Ninja Stars because you don’t want to be leaving any evidence.
6- Rubber Bands: 2^nd line of defense if all else fails aim for the eyes.
1- Set of Ear Plugs: pop these suckers in if you just need to escape to your happy place.
2- Large Band-Aids: because we know there will be blood.
1- Compress Pad: because we know there will be LOTS of blood.

Here it is all bagged up ;) My brother thought it was pretty funny.

Puzzle Week:

The third week of November is Puzzle week so each box received some of those BB Mazes (to be non traditional lol). We use to get these all the time when I was a kid so I thought it would be fun to include them.

That was what we included in the November Month Box for each family member that they opened last thanksgiving.

Thanksgiving Day Gifts:

This is what we put together for the families to open on Thanksgiving Day. I found some fun craft making kits at one of the craft stores so I thought these would be great to keep the kids entertained. For the younger kids I printed out color sheets. You can find a ton of these on-line for free. For the adults I printed out word puzzles, color images and etc all thanksgiving theme. I used some random dsp from my stash to create a pouch to slide the papers into to make them festive for Thanksgiving. Simple make them bigger than 8 1/2" x 11" I clipped the sheets together with one of our retired clips and tied some raffia at the top. Then added a thanksgiving card to each gift.

Happy Thanksgiving to all!

Family Gift: September Box

Hey Peeps!

Quick family update a lot of you have been asking if we are alive and ok. Yes we are after last year I am just plain exhausted physically because of my RA disease and we both just got run down. So we took the summer off to just recoup and sleep a lot in between all the busyness besides. lol My dad is doing good he had a check-up and he is on track except for he is in a lot of pain still but otherwise he got a good report and now it's just adjusting to not using his arm like a normal. He still can't lift a gallon of milk and is on weight restrictions.

But I am back now working full time on everything! Next few weeks I'll be playing catch up on my blogging. I'll be posting my upcoming online fall classes, customer promotions, finish sharing the year gifts I created, sharing my December Daily (I am going to get that done if it kills me! lol) and much, much more! Grab your favorite beverage and enjoy!

This is another gift we created for our family members and is part of the "Year Gift" we made. If you would like to see more info about this awesome project we created and what I've shared so far click on the little tag on the left side of my blog labeled Year of Gifts or visit HERE or visit my pinterest board  Rubber Redneck Year Gifts to see them all in one spot.

At the beginning of each month; each family had a box to open on the first of the month besides the random days we picked out of each month.  In this month box is a fact sheet we put together about the month it includes the following: the history of the month's name, historical things that happened for the month on select dates, and what the month is know for. (It's pretty cool as I am a huge history buff so I love these sheets we created!) Each month is also know for a lot of things so we just picked a few things that we thought would be fun to learn about. September Box features the following; Chicken Month, National Honey Month, and Fall Begins.

What we did:

National Honey Month: For this right way I know I would do a bottle of honey and decorate it with a tag somehow and this is what I came up with. I printed out National Honey Month onto Whisper White card stock then zipped the card stock through the Big Shot Die Cutting Machine with the retired Tags & Labels Framelits. I took the bee stamp from Dragonfly Dreams Photopolymer Stamp Set item#142924 and stamped the bee above the words using the Memento Black Tuxedo Black Ink Pad and Crushed Curry Ink Pad. I used Solid Basic Black Backer's Twine to attach the tag to the bottle of honey.

This set worked great for National Honey Month! It is called Dragonfly Dreams and it is a Photpolymer Stamp Set.

For Fall Begins: I created a bucket list of things to do for the month of September. I printed it out onto White card stock and stamped leaves all around the edges in fall colors using the retired Vintage Leaves Stamp Set. I found a cute dish towel and pot holder for everyone. I've added the Fall Bucket Printout below for you!

Here is the PDF Tag I created if you would like to make one. Print it out onto card stock.

Download Fall Bucket List

 

National Chicken Month: Yep this was one of those things I thought was interesting who knew Chickens have a national month. lol My plan was type up a recipe that used a can of cream of chicken soup.

The recipe I included came from the back of the Parmesan Cheese container. Then while looking for something on Amazon low and behold was something called rubber chicken sling shots you put them on your finger and pull back and shoot them like a rubber-band, we thought they were hilarious so we added them to the gift..the older kids loved them. I made the chicken punch art using my retired owl builder punch, 1/4 Circle Punch, and 1/8 Handheld Punch in Whisper White, Basic Black, Pumpkin Pie, and Real Red card stock. This was a real fun gift to put together.

  Today's project features 2 of the items on the retiring list the Ready to Pop Photopolymer Stamp Set & Popcorn Box Thinlit. I love these two items and I am sad to see them go since I really thought they were very versatile. I also used them to create one of the gifts I made for our family.

Did you know there is a National Popcorn Day? I sure did not! lol When I saw it listed, I knew I wanted to do it immediately because I owned this set and die and because I LOVE popcorn. I actually pop it like how my family did when I was a kid on the stove in a pan. I just use Olive Oil instead of vegetable oil sometimes we melt butter and put it on there too. This was one of the family gifts for our year of gifts. If you would like to see more info about this awesome project we created and what I've shared so far click on the little tag on the left side of my blog labeled Year of Gifts or visit HERE or visit my pinterest board  Rubber Redneck Year Gifts to see them all in one spot.

The popcorn bowl came from Target's dollar spot. I walked in and there they were exactly 5 on the shelf left. WOW and too funny, they were $5 a piece but we both thought they were cool and wanted to included them. They were heavy and nice well worth the $5. I found read clear jars from the dollar spot at target and filled them with popcorn seeds. We also add microwave popcorn and some butter sprinkle stuff. I decorated the microwave popcorn with a bell band.

Here is a top view to see inside the bowl better.

Using the Ready to Pop Stamp Set I stamped the images then die cut them out using the Big Shot Die Cutting Machine, Popcorn Box Thinlits and Layering Ovals Framelits. Is this not stinkin cute? I then created the popcorn box out of Whisper White card stock again using the Big Shot Die cut Machine and the Popcorn Box Thinlit. I cut strips of Real Red card stock to make it look like the old time popcorn container. I had some left over red straws from the christmas gifts so I added them to the gift to. Overall the gift cost us around $15 per family not to bad if you would like to make this as a gift idea down the road.

Here is one that Stampin' Up! made using the Popcorn Box Thinlit.

See so versatile would work for anything! They used the You've Got This Stamp Set which is another retiring stamp set this year too.

Family Gifts: Easter Bunny

Back with another fun family gift! This is another gift we created for our family members and is part of the "Year Gift" we made. If you would like to see more info about this awesome project we created and what I've shared so far click on the little tag on the left side of my blog labeled Year of Gifts or visit HERE or visit my pinterest board  Rubber Redneck Year Gifts to see them all in one spot.

To create this gift I sued the retired Basket Bunch Bundle from last year's Occasions Catalog. I was so sad this didn't get carried over to our main catalog it was so cute and fun to create with! Remember those Mini Egg Cartons? So fun to decorate too! Inside was random different things for each family. For some of my sister in-laws I found these cute egg shaped wine toppers, change for the kids, some Easter candy, Easter theme socks.

I wrapped the Mini Egg cartons with our retired Succulent Garden Designer Series Paper and Linen Thread. I die cut out the basket in Crumb Cake using the Big Shot Die Cutting Machine and the Basket Builder Framelits. I stamped the bunnies in Early Espresso on Early Espresso card stock. The second bunny was done in Sweet Sugarplum ink on Sweet Sugarplum card stock. Then I zipped the pieces through the Big Shot Die Cutting Machine with the Basket Builder Framelits. I assembled the cute little basket and add the greeting onto it. Then so I could keep track I wrote family names on the basket. Soo Cute! Then finished with a Pearl Basic Jewel.

While shopping hubby found some Easter theme pezz dispensers. He grew up with them as a treat so he wanted to include those in the gift for sentimental reason. lol 

For our nephew I happen to find an Easter bib that was soo cute!! To decorate the inside of the package I used colored tissue and the grass filler you put in Easter Baskets. I honestly have no clue what made me think to do it but I sure thought it made it feel more Easter like! lol

Supplies Used
Stamps: Basket Bunch
Ink: Early Espresso, Sweet Sugarplum
Paper: Whisper White, Early Espresso, Sweet Sugarplum, Pear Pizzazz, Pool Party, Succulent Garden Designer Series Paper
Acc.: Big Shot, Basket Builder Framelits, Mini Egg Cartons, Linen Thread, Pearl Basic Jewels

Family Gifts: St. Patricks Day

Back with another fun family gift! This is another gift we created for our family members and is part of the "Year Gift" we made. If you would like to see more info about this awesome project we created and what I've shared so far click on the little tag on the left side of my blog labeled Year of Gifts or visit HERE or visit my pinterest board  Rubber Redneck Year Gifts to see them all in one spot.

St. Patrick's Day has come and gone but some great ideas for you for next year! Each family did get different items but a couple of things were the same for each family. Everyone received the green nail polish I decorated by punching out a circle in Whisper White card stock stamping in Emerald Envy onto the Whisper White circle, gold coins, trivia cards, and St. Patrick's Day drink recipe (found online) printed it out and stamped on it then attached to a piece of Emerald Envy card stock and laminated it, luck of the Irish message (found online), and catch a leprechaun box.

First Up- How about a Catch a Leprechaun Box! Saw the idea on Pinterest only using a coffee can so I whipped up this baby instead ;)

Directions:

• Cut 1 piece of Chipboard 4" x 4".
• Cut 1 piece of Garden Green card stock 5 1/2" x 5". Score 1" around all sides. Cut on scored lines and fold to create like a lid. Stand the Lid up on end and glue the chipboard piece to the bottom inside.
• I purchased rainbow bags for another project but they were to small so I used them for this. I glued the bag to the chipboard. Then glued a bunch of cotton balls to the chipboard and part ways onto the rainbow bag.
• Cut a craft stick down and attached to the card stock lid and into the cotton balls. Tied a piece of red ribbon to the stick and attached to the bag.
• I punched out some Gold Glimmer Paper using our 1" Circle Punch and then glued them randomly all over to entice that little leprechaun ;)

Pot of Gold! Who wouldn't want a pot of gold!! lol I used the Silhouette to cut out the pot. Then added some more gold glimmer coins to the front of it.

I found these St. Patrick's Day Trivia on Pinterest so I printed them off and then stamped a clover on each one in Emerald Envy. The stamp is something I picked up many years ago by another company. Also in the pot of gold was green nail polish, green bracelets,  gold coins and bubbles that I found in green!

For the families with younger kids I created coloring books for them. I found free color pages online and man is their a ton of them! Stacked the sheets together and then cut Emerald Envy card stock to create a book cover. I stamped the clover and kiss me in Emerald Envy Ink. I printed out each kid's name onto Whisper White card stock and then stamped the clovers across the top in Emerald Envy. Does that image look familiar to you old timers? Yep that was the clover wheel from way back when. Then I finished by adding gold coins to the covers. So fun and cute!

I also found a free printable online for learning St. Patrick's Day Images. So I printed them out and laminated them as well for the younger kids.

So when I purchased the stuff for St. Patrick's Day it was in March...my brother got engaged at the end of Oct. so we had to scramble to come up with something for the future sister in-law. What in the world do you do at the end of Oct as your not going to find anything in this small town for St. Patrick's Day! lol So off to pinterest I go (boy does that save my bacon a lot) and I saw coffee mugs when I searched so light bulb this idea was born. I wish I would have thought of this sooner to do for each family. So we made these using the Silhouette and I'm not gonna lie they turned out pretty awesome! However hubby was ready to drink when we were done. haha I also listed these in my Etsy Store to if you are interested in purchasing a set for next year!

Month Box: January + Bubble Wrap Appreciation Day

Back with another fun family gift! This is another gift we created for our family members and is part of the "Year Gift" we made. If you would like to see more info about this awesome project we created and what I've shared so far click on the little tag on the left side of my blog labeled Year of Gifts or visit HERE or visit my pinterest board  Rubber Redneck Year Gifts to see them all in one spot.

At the beginning of each month; each family has a box to open on the first of the month besides the random days we picked out of each month.  In this month box is a fact sheet we put together about the month it includes the following: the history of the month's name, historical things that happened for the month on select dates, and what the month is know for. (It's pretty cool as I am a huge history buff so I love these sheets we created!) Each month is know for a lot of things so we just picked a few things that we thought would be fun to learn about. January Box features the following; National Blood Donor Month, Hot Tea Month, National Soup Month, Letter Writing Week. For the Hot Tea Month and National Soup Month we included tea packets and a can of soup.

What we did:

Blood Donor Month: We put together a fun kit with a band aid and cotton balls to use after donating blood. I put it all in a cellophane bag. Along with the kit I created a tag to go onto the little package. I printed them out onto Whisper White card stock and made a little red cross from our Real Red card stock. Then attached with some retired Pop of Pink Washi Tape.

Here is the PDF Tag I created if you would like to make one. Print it out onto card stock.

Download Blood Donor Tag

National Letter Writing Week: This is the 2nd Week of January. I picked this event for sentimental reasons. Growing up as a kid my grandparents would go south to Florida and we would write letters to my grandparents so I wanted the kids to write letters. The fun part about this I didn't stop and think about it but kids don't do this anymore we have email and cellphones for texting. My cousin's kids had never written a letter before so it was a great learning experience for them. It was so awesome to have a hand in teaching them something.

Here I am reading the letters I received in the mail!! It was so cool to get letters from the kiddos.

I created a little packet using a Manila Envelope. Inside the envelope was paper, pencil and envelopes. I created a tag to print out and attach to the envelope. I used the Better Together Stamp Set to stamp onto the tag and envelope in Tuxedo Black Memento Ink. I dressed up the envelope with the Pop of Pink Washi Tape (retired).  I had a lot of fun putting this month box together.

Here is the PDF Tag I created if you would like to make one. Print it out onto card stock.

This is a great set and covers a variety of moments and worked perfect for our year gift! You can still purchase this set.

Supplies Used
Stamps: Better Together, Teeny Tiny Wishes, Holly Jolly Greetings
Ink:Tuxedo Black Memento Ink
Paper: Whisper White, Real Red
Acc.: Pop of Paradise Washi Tape, 3 x 4 Cellophane Bags

This was one of the Odd Ball Holidays we did. Bubble Wrap Appreciation Day is January 30th. I cracked up when I saw this and I thought the kiddo's would get a laugh out of it and they did.

Family Gifts: Valentines Day Dragon Fly Dreams

I know Valentine's Day is over but great idea for you to do next year! Get a jump start! This is another gift we created for our family members and is part of the "Year Gift" we made. If you would like to see more info about this awesome project we created and what I've shared so far click on the little tag on the left side of my blog labeled Year of Gifts or visit my Pinterest Board HERE. Follow me on Pinterest so you don't miss out on anything!

  I need something that didn't include candy (some family member's don't eat candy), would work for everyone and all ages (to make it easier on me). I had seen on pinterest ages ago paper firecrackers that someone had made, inside where rolos so I thought that idea would be perfect for all the males but instead of rolos I did a roll of pennies! The chapstick holder idea I saw something similar on a blog years ago somewhere and had saved it to my idea folder. Which Stampin' Up! obliged me by coming out with a bumble bee and thinlit. I swear they were reading my mind when I was planning out the year gifts! lol Then we printed out the fact sheet for Valentine's Day.

The kids loved them! It's a very inexpensive gift too! I had a little under a $1 into this gift.

Rubber Redneck Quick Shots:

• You will need a roll of pennies.  Cut a piece of Real Red card stock big enough to fit around a roll of pennies and to over lap the end.
• Punch out a piece of Gold Glimmer Paper with the 3/4" Circle Punch.
• Cut a piece of Black Pipe Cleaner and wrap around a pen or pencil to curl it.
• Punch a hole through the Gold Glimmer Circle and run the piece of Black Pipe Cleaner through it. Then attach to the roll of pennies with a Glue Dot.

Supplies:
Paper: Gold Glimmer, Real Red
Acc.: 3/4" Circle Punch, Paper-Piercing Tool, Stampin' Pierce Mat
Misc: roll of pennies, black pipe cleaner

My next project used the following items.

This is the Dragonfly Dreams Photopolymer Stamp Set item #142924. This came out last year and when I saw this I was soo excited as I love Dragonfly's! It is a gorgeous set!!

What makes this set even more awesome the matching Detailed Dragonfly Thinlits item #142749!! I LOVE these!!

We have lots of chap-stick lovers in our family so I thought this idea would be perfect! I thought the Burt's Bee Chap-Stick was perfect for this little gift! lol

Rubber Redneck Quick Shots:

• Cut a piece of Whisper White card stock the exact width of the length of the chap-stick you purchase.
• Take the bumblee bee image from Dragonfly Dreams Stamp Set; ink it in Daffodil Delight and stamp onto the Whisper White card stock.
• Zip a piece of Basic Black card stock through the Big Shot with the Detailed Dragonfly Thinlits die cutting it out. Tip use the Big Shot Die Brush to remove all the little pieces. Then glue over the stamped bumble bee. So cute!
• Take the stamp from Tin of Cards Stamp Set (retired) ink it in Tuxedo Black and stamp below the bumble bee.
• Ink the stamp from Sealed With Love Stamp Set (retired) in Real Red and stamp below the greeting.
• Cut a piece of Real Red card stock a little bit bigger than the Whisper White card stock.
• Glue the Whisper White and Real Red card stock together.
• Punch 4 holes using the 1/8 handheld Circle Punch through the layers.
• Attach the chap-stick to the tag with Solid Whisper White Baker's Twine.
• To finish add a heart to the bumble bee from the Metallic Enamel Shapes.

Stamps: Dragonfly Dreams, Sealed With Love, Tin of Cards

I had some fun Valentine Treat Bags that I got from Target's Dollar Spot. Everything was packaged into the bag and then I created a tag for the outside using the Sealed With Love Bundle that has since retired. I cut a piece of Whisper White card stock. Stamped the greeting in Old Olive and the hearts in Calypso Coral. I die cut out a piece of Real Red card stock using the Big Shot. I attached to the bag with a piece of sending love ribbons (retired).

Family Gifts: Super Bowl Sunday + Prize Winners

Happy Super Bowl Sunday! This year the Super Bowl is in our state and sadly I am not going to be at it nor our Vikings Team :( But I have an awesome Super Bowl Party Gift idea for you all! This is another gift we created for our family members and is part of the "Year Gift" we made. If you would like to see more info about this awesome project we created and what I've shared so far click on the little tag on the left side of my blog labeled Year of Gifts or visit my Pinterest Board HERE.

This package contained so many fun things and was a blast to make!

1. I found a Football Bingo Game On-line. I laminated it so Erasable Markers could be used over and over on it, so it could be used year after year. Here is the Bingo Game I found: Download Football-bingo-1-8
   
2. When researching about the Super Bowl I found a Trivia Fact sheet that I thought was really interesting and thought the die hard sports fans in our family would like it. This is the website I found them on HERE. You can't print them so you will have to save as an image to your computer and then  print them out. The answers are right below each card.
3. I picked up craft wood sticks at walmart and using my silhouette cut out the football shapes out of card stock and attached to the sticks. I did them in the Viking Colors.
4. The cups we found at the Party Store they have a section with football theme items. We put the markers, little footballs, and little decorative sticks into the cups.
5. I made a little football box that would hold juice boxes for the kids. I will have a video on how to make the box soon on my blog.

Here are some close ups.

The ribbon on the sticks is actually ribbon from my grandma's stash she was big into crafts so it had some nostalgia to it giving it to her grandchildren and great grandchildren.

The little football box. I used White Washi Tape on it.

To package the gift I recycled brown bags and used some white washi tape to decorate like a football too. lol

The second gift I have to share was for Groundhogs Day we kept this one pretty simple.

Do you remember this image I shared long ago for our daily journal project? I love this cute image so much I printed it off onto card stock and turned it into a card for groundhog day! Then we printed out the history about groundhogs day. Hubby and I both learned some things we did not know.

Family Gifts: Christmas Countdown Day 25 + GIVEAWAY

Back with the last Christmas Countdown Gift Day 25. If you would like to see all the Christmas countdown gifts check out my Family 25 Days Christmas Countdown Board on pinterest, follow me on pinterest so you don't miss out on anything!

Day 25 Family Frame

Our last gift for the Christmas Countdown was a Family Plaque we created for each Family. We used the first letter of everyone's last name and the silhouette to add the family onto the glass. Each frame and letter was painted in the colors that they told me where either their favorite or to match their homes. We had a hard time getting a good picture of the P and M frames.

This was the card we created to  put with the gift. I printed our message on the Whisper White card stock then decorated it using the retired 25 Days and Greetings from Santa Stamp Set. I used some washi tape I had in my stash.

That's the end of the 25 Days of Christmas Countdown! Thank you for following along and I hope it gave you some great ideas. :)
