Hi Stampers. Melinda has been at it again, this time she made Counting Sheep Post-It Note Holders. When she first saw the Counting Sheep stamp set and Sheep Dies in the August Sale-a-bration brochure, she HAD to have them! Since then, she’s been making some adorable projects with them.
My husband and I were lucky enough to be recipients of these beautiful little gift bags. (Mine is the pink one, LOL).
This months little gift came with Turtle Bites candies. She explained that they should have been in the gift bags from last month made with the Turtle Friends Bundle. To see that project CLICK HERE.
Once I pulled the Counting Sheep Post-It Note Holders out of the bag, I couldn’t get over how adorable they are!
Each Counting Sheep Post-It Note holder held a post it note pad inside.
Aren’t those sheep just the cutest?!?!
She stamped the sheep in Memento Black ink and colored with the Stampin’ Blends. The light Smokey Slate marker was used just to accent the wool. She colored around the outside of the sheep with a Pool Party marker before die cutting them out using the sheep dies. I love this affect.
The sentiment is from the Counting Sheep stamp set and is stamped here in Polished Pink ink. It was then die cut out using the Stitched So Sweetly Dies and adhered with Stampin’ Dimensionals. Pretty amazing that she made these Counting Sheep Post-It Note with a bundle that was FREE with her order. What are you getting for FREE?

Hi Stampers. Welcome back to a Crafty Collaborations Paper Pumpkin Blog Hop. This month we are inspired by the Hope Box Paper Pumpkin kit. Good news – if you missed out on this one – you can still get it! While supplies last of course…
I used my Hope Box Paper Pumpkin kit to make an alternative card and decorate a Mini Paper Pumpkin Box.
Above is a photo of what came in the kit. You may notice that it has multiple languages. Personally, I don’t have a need for the pieces with the other languages, BUT I was able to use those parts anyway!
Do you see my label in the middle of this card? It’s made up of two of the labels in a non-English language. I stamped the word hope on the back of one and cut a second one in half and adhered it to the first one to create a border.
Because the back label was cut in half there was a small gap on the sides of the label. To cover this up, I used the Label Me Fancy punch to punch a slot of each side.
For my card base, I used one of the pink bases from the Hope Box Paper Pumpkin kit. The layers are also front the kit and were already pre-cut and ready to go, making this super easy!
Next, I used the 3/8″ Blushing Bride frayed ribbon to feed though the slots, wrap around the small layer (from the Hope Box Paper Pumpkin kit) and attach on the back of this layer. This layer is then attached to the card front using Stampin’ Dimensionals (so the ribbon attached on the back would not bulge). As an accent, I attached three of the small butterflies (from the Hope Box Paper Pumpkin kit) and three Opal Rounds to the card front.
Using the stamps from the Hope Box Paper Pumpkin kit, I stamped the sentiment in Bermuda Bay ink and the Butterflies in Polished Pink ink on the inside.
I also decorated one of our Mini Paper Pumpkin Boxes with more pieces from the kit. Covering the box is one of the pink card bases from the Hope Box Paper Pumpkin and some Pattern Party DSP. The kit included the large butterfly and tag along with some wide Blackberrry Bliss ribbon to put around the regular box the kit came ink. I substituted the smaller Blushing Bride ribbon to keep in scale with the smaller box.
Below is a line-up of the blogs on our hop today. Follow along and be inspired by all the talent in our group!

Hi Stampers. Melinda has been at it again! She made me an adorable little gift set again. This time she used the Turtle Friends bundle and the Sharing Sunshine stamp set. I don’t own either of these, so this is a great way for me to showcase a team member AND some additional products!
This was how she presented the gift to me. The post it note pad holder was in the cello bag with some paper grass inside. (She is so great about presentation!)
This is after I took the stuff out of the cello bag.
She has made me this mini post it note holder before – using different stamps and different colors, of course. CLICK HERE or CLICK HERE to see those.
Inside the ombre gift bag was the cute paper clip and a “That’s It” bar. I had never seen the paper clip or the snack before, but I did find them on Amazon – see links below.
She used the Tailor Made Tags with Basic White and In Color DSP with Polished Pink ribbon to make the tag. Using the Turtle Friends stamp set and the Turtle punch, she added that over the tags. The sentiment is stamped onto a strip of Basic White CS that had been die cut using the Rectangle Stitched Dies.
How cute is this paper clip!?!? I had not seen these before. It’s a 4″ paper clip and she added the turtle to the top. There is a turtle on each side and the shell is added as an additional layer using Stampin’ Dimensionals. Thank you, Melinda, for sharing your talents with us!

Hi Stampers. As you know, I’m currently on vacation. This is a box of San Francisco Giants (SF Giants) Thank You and Happy Birthday cards in a gift box that I made for the friend I am staying with.
This handmade box easily holds three Thank You and three Happy Birthday SF Giants cards with envelopes.
The SF Giants baseball themed gift box is made in two parts and one slides over the other.
The card starts with a Basic Black card base 8-1/2″ x 5-1/2″, scored at 4-1/4″, followed by a 4″ x 5-1/4″ layer of Very Vanilla. Next up is a 1-1/4″ x 5-1/4″ strip of Pumpkin Pie CS and a 1″ x 5-1/4″ strip of Very Vanilla.
I stamped “thank you” in Memento Black ink onto that Very Vanilla strip, adhered it to the Pumpkin Pie strip and adhered the two the card front using Stampin’ Seal. Using the Hat Builder Dies, I die cut the hat from Basic Black CS and the stars from Basic Black and Pumpkin Pie CS (with Adhesive Sheet on the back). The S & F were die cut from Pumpkin Pie CS (with Adhesive Sheet on the back) using the Playful Alphabet Dies.
Inside this card I stamped the “You’re the Best” sentiment from the Hats Off stamp set in Pumpkin Pie ink.
This card is basically the same, only this time I stamped “Happy Birthday” (from the Sweet Ice Cream stamp set) in Memento Black ink.
I placed three stars because I’ve been told (by those more artistic than me) to add those types of elements in odd numbers.
This time, I stamped this sentiment (from the Lighthearted Lines stamp set) in Pumpkin Pie ink on the inside layer.
The SF Giants box is decorated with the Hostess Only Pattern Party Designer Series Paper, followed by a 1″ strip of Pumpkin Pie CS. For the focal point I used the Layering Circle Dies to die cut a Basic Black scalloped circle and a Basic White straight circle. To this I added a small baseball cap (die cut with the Hat Builder Dies out of Pumpkin Pie CS) and some elements from the Batter Up! Paper Pumpkin kit. The baseball on top is added using Stampin’ Dimensionals to make it kind of appear as if it’s been it by the bat. (Note: to learn to make the box – watch my YouTube video below).
I think my friend is really going to like these cards. Might even need to make a set for my daughter, who is also a HUGE SF Giants fan!

Hi Stampers. Melinda has been at it again! This month she brought me this awesome Mini Paper Pumpkin Box Office Set! How cute is this!?!?
Her gift came in this clear cello bag and she attached a coordinating 3″ x 3″ tag decorated to match the box.
Isn’t it adorable? She used the new (host only) Pattern Party Designer Series Paper paired with one of our new 2021-2023 in-colors – Polished Pink! (one of my favorite colors!)
Inside this adorable mini paper pumpkin box were some adorable office trinkets. She’s made several of the mini post it note holders for me before. You can find her “Snailed It” version HERE.
You can’t really tell by the photo, but the paper clip is HUGE and she sandwiched it between two die cut flowers from the Pretty Perennials bundle.
The cute flowers on the right side are mounted on tiny little clothes pins with a magnet on the back. She is SO creative! Thank you so much Melinda for your adorable gift and your treasured friendship!

Hi Stampers. Happy Monday! I hope you had a restful weekend and got to spend some time stamping. I’d like to brag on my Creative Royalty Team today. They are a group of super talented and super sweet ladies. For Valentine’s Day, Melinda had brought my husband and I these adorable Snailed It mini post it note holders. They even included chocolate Hershey kisses! Yum!
My friend and team member, Melinda, comes by my house once a month to pick up her card kit for our team meeting. Melinda never comes empty handed! She brings the cutest little treats!
Last month it was these cute gift bags with mini post it note holders in them. She brought one for me and one for my husband. They were packaged in Stampin’ Up! cello bags, stuffed with paper grass and kisses and then tied with the red twine.
The front of the post it note holder is covered with DSP and then has a stitched square on dimensionals. Over that is a snail (from the snailed it stamp set) that was stamped in Memento Black ink and colored with the Stampin’ Blends. The snail was then die cut using the snail dies. “Hello” was stamped onto Basic White CS and punched out using the Classic Label Punch.
I am super sad that the Stitched Shapes Dies and the Classic Label Punch – both used above – are being retired. If you don’t have these yet, you want to snag them up before they are gone!
These are cute, practical and had yummy chocolate. Thank you so much, Melinda, for your kindness, generosity and for choosing me as your team leader. I appreciate you!
