Stampin' Up! Are you Pinning? {Pinterest)

My dear friend, Lorrie turned me onto Pinterest. I joined to show my Stampin' Up!  cards but then have discovered that I am finding great recipes and home decor ideas!


Here is my Stampin' Up! Card site if you would like to follow: http://pinterest.com/snowmanlover/


I made Pulled Pork last night and Peanut Butter Cup Cookies. I thought I would share the cookie recipe with you.  Now these are a bit overdone because my son will get sick if they are undercooked. Next time I need to cook them less. I kept them in for about 11 minutes and the recipe called for 8 minutes.

Recipe:
Peanut Butter Cup Cookies

1 3/4 cups all-purpose flour
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 cup butter, softened
1/2 cup white sugar
1/2 cup peanut butter
1/2 cup packed brown sugar
1 egg, beaten
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
2 tablespoons milk
40 miniature chocolate covered peanut butter cups, unwrapped

Preheat oven to 375 degrees F .

In a small bowl sift together the flour, salt and baking soda; set aside. In a large bowl cream together the butter, sugar, peanut butter and brown sugar until fluffy. Beat in the egg,
vanilla and milk. Slowly add the flour mixture; mix well (at this point you can store the dough in the refrigerator until you are ready to make the cookies). Shape the dough into approximately 40 balls and place each into an ungreased mini muffin pan. Bake at 375 degrees for 8 minutes. Remove from oven and immediately press a mini peanut butter cup into each ball. Cool and carefully remove from pan; the chocolate will be runny for several hours.

There are several different recipes out there on Pinterest. There is also a recipe on the back of the Peanut Butter Cup bag.  I got the recipe here: http://pinterest.com/pin/120415936/


TIP: Freeze the peanut butter cups before inserting into the hot dough.
Hope you enjoyed? From time to time I like to show recipes on here on Sundays!

Stampin' Up Spice Cake Flower...Here is one for you, Shauna!!!

One of my sweet customers,Shauna,  loved this flower that I posted yesterday.

She commented on my FB post.

So  I am sending you one!!!

I made a beautiful post yesterday {here} on several items in the Spice Cake line but only heard back on FB comments and not on my blog:(

 I Really LOVE to hear your input and get your opinions.  I even asked questions about which looked better (with or without the flower on the box?)  and if anyone wanted to see a video??? I really do love hearing back from ya'all!!!

Anyway, Here is how I made the flower....

I cut the flower with Fun Flowers Sizzix Die

using Spice Cake Designer Paper

I inked the edges with a sponge using Soft Suede Ink

I stamped the sentiment from Tiny Tags and punched it with my Jewelry Tag Punch

I added some little Vintage trinkets and that is it!!

Shauna, I will be sending you one in the mail, since you loved it so much!

Who wants some Stampin' Up! Spice Cake!!

That is Stampin' Up! Spice Cake Designer Paper, Buttons and Fabric!


I absolutely LOVE our new Fall Colors. I am not an orangey person, so these colors, just make me so happy!


There are so many possibilities. Actually  this is a box! Yes, one of our little Craft Boxes. I covered the sides with 2 layers of Designer Paper and the top with 2 layers as well.  I used one of our large buttons and threaded our 1/8" Satin Ribbon through it. Then I cut a strip of our Spice Cake Fabric to tie around the top. The flower was made with our Fun Flowers Die. 

Top View

Love these big buttons!! Here it is without the Flower. I actually made the Flower for a card and not the box. What do you think, With or Without the Flower?

This is my matching card. I actually made the flower for the card first and then put it on the box

I showed my little girl and she thinks the flower makes the card too busy. I think so too so I plan to revamp it

This is our Fabric. Isn't it gorgeous! I can't wait to make fabric flower pins!! 

Would you like a video of how I made this set???

A little Stampin' Up! Thank you Card and It's a Wrap Occasions Treat

Hi friends! I hope you are having a great Labor Day weekend. We finally got some cooler temps tonight and enjoyed a breeze on our friend's gazebo this evening. We have not been able to go outside all summer due to the heat, nor have we had a breeze. It was lovely.
On the way to my friend's house for a swim party (no one swam), I quickly made up this little card and thank you token for my daughter's friend's Mother. She drives my little girl to horseback riding lessons each week and we wanted to drop off a big bouquet of flowers for her.


The card is somewhat cased from my friend, Jill. I used Berry Blossoms Designer Paper, Curly Cute and Simply Sent Sentiments. In Color Ruffled ribbon, Scallop Circle Punch and 1 3/8" punch. It is so much fun to cover the little nuggets.

Here is a close up. I used our Clear Envelopes for the bag!! Topped it with a Top Note Die cut, (thanks dear friend Lisa) and a bit of In Color Ruffled Ribbon.

Hope you enjoyed my second post of the day!  I hope to be posting daily if life does not get in the way!


Have a wonderful weekend!

Ho-Ho- Holiday Hostess Clubs! Stampin' Up! Holiday Mini Catalog Sneak Peek!

How about a Sneak Peek from the Stampin' Up Holiday Mini Catalog!! 

I created this card using some really cute paper, punches and stamps from the Holiday Mini Catalog which begins in 3 days!!

How would you like to join my Holiday Hostess Club!

What does this mean?

I need 4 "members" to sign up and commit to ordering $37.50* in Retail (plus ship and tax) amount from either the Main 

Stampin' Up Catalog or the NEW Holiday Mini Catalog 

that will begin in September and go through December.

This "Club" will last 4 months and you will be responsible for ordering $37.50 in September, October, November and December.

I would like gather orders by the 1st of each month and payment is due the 3rd of each month, starting with September.

What do you get for being a Hostess?!!

Do you have to clean your house or get outside orders? NO!

What Hostess means, is when it is YOUR month you get to choose $25 in Retail! There are some fabulous "Hostess Only" items and these "cost" less! So you might find one valued at $22.95 but it will only use up $13 of your hostess $25! Or you can chose any product out of either catalog for your $25! 

Let me tell you, this HOLIDAY MINI is the best and you will want it all!

Most of my clubs are from Long Distance Members. If you live out of town there will be a Reship/paypal fee* added to the $37.50. 

Please reply soon if you are interested so I can get a Holiday Mini Catalog sent to you, if you sign up for a Club!

Thank you, Barb

p.s I currently have many clubs going, this is for new club members who are willing to start in September and go until Dec 1st
