Party Winners and Another Cute Box

I have a really cute box for you today, but first I need to catch up on party news.  I will admit that I honestly just plain forgot to share the winners' names with you.  I will blame it on the excitement of the Color Revamp.  It is pretty exciting!

I'm ready to announce the winners from my Spring Open House Party.  So... let's do that right now!

Closest answer/winner:

I also had Toby Joe draw out 3 names for door prizes!

The lucky winners are Brenda, Alicia and Marsha.

Yay to all my lucky winners!!!  Your prizes will be tucked in with your orders.  Everyone got some cute little note card envelopes as an extra thank you for your order.  All the prize winners from the party will find some card stock on with their order.  I tried to pick good prizes that were practical and you can really use at home.

Now, let's check out my cute box.  This one is a bigger one and starts with a 12 X 12" sheet of DSP - just for the lid.  I used a 12 X 12" piece of CS for the base.  I love it!  It's my favorite of all the boxes I've made recently (and I've made a lot:)  Enjoy!

Sweet Soiree Tiny Treat Bag

How about a cute, little bitty treat bag for today?  Tie it up with some gorgeous Berry Burst ribbon and you've got a winner!  Enjoy and don't forget to scroll back to my last 2 posts for all the latest news on our Stampin' Up! Color Revamp.  You can say goodbye to colors retiring and get a peek at the new colors --- colors coming back and brand new colors.  If you know me, you know that I love to play with color, so this is an exciting time for me.

How's this for cute?  I love it.

The metallic edged Berry Burst ribbon adds the perfect touch.

In the side view, you can see how the sides are just pinched together at the top.  The ribbon wraps around the entire bag and holds it closed -- so your tiny treats don't fall out:)  You can slip off the ribbon when you need to get inside and you won't tear up your beautiful little bag.

Before we finish up today, let's talk a little more about the upcoming Color Revamp! There are still four color collections, each with ten colors. There is also a new color group called Basics. In order to keep our color collections to exclusive Stampin’ Up! colors, Basic Black, Very Vanilla, and Whisper White were moved out of the Neutrals collection. Also, a few colors were moved into the Neutrals collection, making it more exciting and colorful!
Some additional colors have changed collections as well—you’ll notice this as you look through the new collections below. So, here’s a look again at all of the colors, excluding the Basics collection.

Sweet Soiree Gift Boxes ... With Lids

Are you ready for another fun box ... or two?  This one has a lid and provides the opportunity to create a box and lid with complimentary patterns.  I love it!

The way I tied the ribbon around the lid allows it to be opened without having to untie the ribbon.

Aren't these embellishments cute?  They're from our Sweet Soiree Embellishments Kit.

You can fit 3 Rocher treats in it, all nestled in our Ready Shreddie.  Say that 3 times - fast - and you're set to smile all day.

I love using the CS and coordinating DSP together for this project.  They're so pretty.  To my knowledge, I think this is the first time we've had a DSP that works with Marina Mist.  It's such a pretty shade of blue.

With this DSP and coordinating CS, how could you NOT have a gorgeous little box or two?

Spring Foils Treat Bag : We have a perfect trio!

What do you get when you put Stampin' Blends, a cute little treat bag and our gorgeous Spring Foils DSP into a project?   ----- a perfect trio.  I love how this project came out.  Then, let's wrap it all up with the perfect ribbon and a darling little charm.  And ... don't forget the Ready Shreddie!  I love the name!

I apologize for the weird reflections of some of the image outlines.  It's gorgeous in real life.

A little surprise:
In case you're wondering where I got a Berry Burst Stampin' Write Marker ... you're right.  We don't have one!  So what color did I use?  It's Rich Razzleberry.  Once it dried, it seemed to match the Berry Burst ribbon perfectly.  I love it!
I actually colored some of our Spring Foils DSP in 2 versions.  On some of my papers, I used a Berry Burst Stampin' Write Marker (In Color) and on some I used a Rich Razzleberry Stampin' Blends Marker.  The surprise --- Once they all dried, they both looked so much the same that I couldn't tell which was which.  How fun is that?!

-STAMPIN' BLENDS ... ON HOLD, FOR NOW:
As my customers who just received their orders of new Stampin' Blends keep telling me --- These are addictive!  OK, you've been warned.
Click to see info on free class using Stampin' Blends. 

Important note:
A happy/sad problem right now is that the Stampin' Blends have become so popular, that our supplier can't keep up with the demand.  The 'Blendies', as I like to call them, are temporarily on back order right now, until SU lets us know.  If you were planning on ordering these and taking my free class, don't despair.  I will extend my offer for the class until further notice.  We will have our time to enjoy this fabulous new product, I promise.

Narrow Note Cards ... Lots to Love

Note cards AND boxes?  Count me in!  I love our new Narrow Note Cards!  When I made up some note card sets using my favorite new DSP, tied them together with my favorite new ribbons, added a quick greeting, using a great new punch ..... and then popped them into the cutest little box ever ..... well, what else can I say but WOW!

The box on the left (below) is made entirely with the sturdy DSP.  The box on the right (below) is made from Marina Mist CS and then a piece of DSP added to the front of the box. 

We haven't had a DSP with Marina Mist in it for a long, long, long time ... if ever.  It's such a gorgeous color.  I'm delighted to have some DSP to use with it. 

You can fit several of the note cards with their envelopes in each box.  Did you notice the cute little sequins on the first box? They are adhesive backed!  How cool is that???

Quick run-down of super fun ahead:
