Halloween Treat Box Using Stampin Up’s Owl Punch

Video | | marialrussell

Now that Fall is almost here, it’s time to get decorating and crafting so by the time Halloween comes, you’re ready to sit back and enjoy it. One of the things I love to do is to make Halloween treats. On this video, I am sharing on how I created this treat box. I’m not exactly sure where I got the box measurements, but the topper is what made it cute. I used the Stampin’ Up!’s Owl Punch. I never thought I would get a lot of use for this punch but ever since I got it, I’ve been using it almost everyday with all of my crafting projects.

I hope you all enjoy this video.

Envelope Punch Board

I never thought I would ever be excited about a product that makes envelopes, until I found out that Stampin’ Up! has launched this new product – The Envelope Punch Board.  WOW! I have tried other envelope makers but this one is so easy to use and even a novice crafter can make beautiful envelopes. Check it out and go to my Online Store to purchase one. http://mariarusselldesigns.stampinup.net

Happy crafting!

Fall – My favorite Season

Fall – My Favorite Season

I don’t know about you guys, but once the month of September comes, I feel so excited to decorate my home.  I go to different craft stores to not only get my supplies, but also to check out some inspiration and ideas.

Recently, I became an Independent Demonstrator for Stampin Up!  I was really inspired by the many people who continually share their ideas online, or get together at their home to do some crafting.  When I joined, I was gifted with a kit – The Thankful Tablescape Simply Created Kit.  I was not only impressed with the quality of products that Stampin Up has to offer for crafters like me, but also the “interior decorator” side of me became intrigued.  I didn’t realize that Stampin Up also has a home décor line.  Not a lot – but if you use your imagination, there are so many possibilities and endless crafting projects to do.  Needless to say I really love the kit.  I posted this YouTube video on my channel, but I also took photos for this Blog.
