SSINKspiration Anything But a Card: Disney Cruise Treats!

Good morning! This summer is flying by, can't believe we leave on our cruise in a few short weeks. I've mentioned before that we like to give little gifts to our servers and stateroom hosts who always make our trip so magical so for today's SSINKspiration blog sharing anything but a card I decided to share one of the treats I've made for the cruise.

I used the Popcorn Box Thinlits and cut the box out of Real Red cardstock and then used the Burlap stamp set to stamp some texture all over the box. I used the 2 1/4" and 3/4" Circle Punches to punch the pieces for my Mickey head and then since this is a cruise I used the Seaside Embossing Folder to add some waves. I used the scallop trim die (in the same thinlit set) and some Silver Foil cardstock to cut some rick-rack pieces to decorate the top of the box. The greeting is from the One Big Meaning stamp set and was stamped in Real Red on Whisper White cardstock and then cut out with the Classic Label Punch (I did sponge around the edges with Basic Black ink) and then attached the greeting with dimensionals.

To finish off the treats I used one of our gusseted cello bags, filled it with chocolates and then tied it with some Silver 3/8" Metallic Edge Ribbon (absolutely love this ribbon!!)

I haven't decided if I'm just going to make more of this same design for the gifts or do different one's (a lot will depend on my ability to pack these to arrive at the ship safely) but I love how cute this is and know little treats are always appreciated for the crew who work so hard!

Star Wars Fun on a Disney Cruise

Good morning! We have been having a wonderful time on our Disney cruise and yesterday was our Star Wars Day at Sea which was a lot of fun to see Star Wars characters, activities, etc. as well as so many guests on the cruise really getting into the fun and dressing up. As in past cruises the cast members on the ship have really gone above and beyond to make our vacation truly magical so we like to give gifts to the different staff, specifically our dining room team, stateroom host, and the kid’s club staff and candy is a little something special we can offer since they spend so much time on the ship working. Since this was a Star Wars themed cruise I decided to make the packaging all Star Wars themed, thanks to the fabulous inspiration from Tami White (see her projects and tutorial HERE). I am not a punch art expert by any means but using Tami’s guide I was able to adjust the size of my Death Star and Millennium Falcon’s to fit my packaging (given Aidan’s birthday party was Star Wars themed and all the gifts for the cruise I made about 45 Death Star and Millennium Falcon’s for different items, oye!

The first project was little kraft bags and I stamped the background using the Gorgeous Grunge and Timeless Texture stamp sets and the greeting is from Sassy Salutations. I used the XL Oval Punch to punch out the greeting and attached the elements with dimensionals and used some retired ribbon to tie up the bag.

The second project is a larger bag of treats for the kid’s club staff and I used one of our gusseted bags and then made a tag, using all the same supplies (made a smaller Death Star) and cut the tag out with the Big Shot and Chalk Talk Framelits.

This is a fun, easy card that is great if you need to make multiples and is nice and flat to make the post office happy. You could easily change the greeting to make this a Christmas card as well (there’s plenty of time to still make your holiday cards this year if you haven’t started yet).

I hope you enjoyed a little bit of our fun and have a great weekend!

Disney Cruise Treats, Inspired by a Card: Merry Everything

Happy Thursday! I'm so excited, we're officially on vacation and get to board the Disney Dream in just a few short hours. I have to say our family loves all things Disney, and especially Disney Cruising, it really is relaxing and magical!! One thing that really sets Disney apart is the service they provide, the Castmembers (CM), aka cruise staff, really go above and beyond to make your trip special. In return we really like to do a little something for our dining room staff, stateroom host, and the kid's club personnel to let them know we appreciate their efforts. For this trip I made these little treat bags filled with goodies (since we've been told the CM's don't have a lot of space and access to everyday items). Of course I had to decorate it up and I received a wonderful card from my friend Michelle Suit, and knew it would be perfect for the cruise. I used the Gorgeous Grunge stamp set to stamp on the bag and then used lots of different punches to make the pirate Mickey. The tag is a sneak peak of the new Merry Everything stamp set and matching punch (which will be released next month in the Holiday catalog). Then I just used some Basic Black Chevron Ribbon (and retired Real Red Grosgrain ribbon) to make a cute little knot.

Here's a picture of Michelle's original card, isn't it beyond cute? I kept the colors and most elements the same since they were perfect but I did downsize the punches to make the Mickey head a little smaller for the bag. You could easily use these bags for birthday or holiday treats, or just to let someone know you're thinking of them.

I know the CM's will love the treats and we're looking forward to a fabulous time.
