The Color Street Makeup Must-Haves for Busy Moms

1. Color Street Eye Shadow Palettes

When you need to create a stunning eye look in just minutes, Color Street’s eye shadow palettes are your new best friend. These easy-to-blend shadows come in a variety of shades, allowing you to create everything from a natural daytime look to a smoky, dramatic evening style. Whether you’re heading to the office or chasing kids around, these shadows will stay put all day long without creasing or fading.

Quick Tip: Use a neutral shade for a quick work-ready look and add a pop of shimmer on the eyelids for a touch of glam.

2. Powder and Balm Blushes

Color Street’s blushes come in both powder and balm formulas, so you can pick the one that suits your lifestyle. The powder blushes are perfect for a soft, natural flush, while the balm blushes provide a dewy finish, making them great for those on-the-go days when you need to add a little life to your skin.

Quick Tip: Dab the balm blush on the apples of your cheeks for a fresh, youthful look in seconds!

3. Tri-Flex Mascara

For moms with no time to spare, mascara is a game-changer. Color Street’s Tri-Flex Mascara is designed to define, lengthen, and volumize your lashes, giving you an eye-catching look in just one coat. The flexible brush allows for a precise application, so you don’t have to worry about smudges or clumps. Plus, it’s long-lasting, which means you can go about your day without worrying about touch-ups.

Quick Tip: Apply one coat for a natural look, or build up the layers for more dramatic lashes when you need to turn heads.

4. Powder and Balm Highlighters and Bronzers

Want to add a little glow to your face? Color Street offers both powder and balm highlighters and bronzers that blend seamlessly into your skin. These products are perfect for giving you a sun-kissed glow or a soft radiance—just the right touch for a refreshed and energized look. The best part? These products don’t require a lot of effort to apply.

Quick Tip: Apply bronzer to the high points of your face (like your cheekbones, jawline, and forehead) to create a natural contour. Add highlighter to the tops of your cheekbones and down the bridge of your nose for a lit-from-within glow.

5. Lip Oils and Lipsticks

Whether you’re running errands, playing at the park, or heading to a meeting, Color Street’s lip oils and lipsticks can instantly enhance your look with minimal effort. The lip oils hydrate and nourish your lips, giving you a soft, glossy finish. If you’re looking for more coverage, the lipsticks provide rich color that lasts for hours.

Quick Tip: For a fuss-free, natural look, swipe on a lip oil. For more bold, lasting color, go for a lipstick that matches your vibe.

Putting It All Together: The 5-Minute Beauty Routine

As a busy mom, you might not have an hour to get ready in the morning, but with Color Street, you don’t need one! Here’s a quick, 5-minute makeup routine that’s perfect for busy moms:

1. Start with the Eye Shadow Palette: Sweep a neutral shade across your lids and blend. Add a little shimmer for extra pop.
2. Apply the Tri-Flex Mascara: Coat your lashes for volume and definition.
3. Dab on the Blush: Whether powder or balm, apply a touch of blush to your cheeks for a healthy flush.
4. Glow with Highlighter and Bronzer: Add a little bronzer for warmth and a dab of highlighter to the high points of your face for radiance.
5. Finish with Lip Oil or Lipstick: Choose a lip product that matches your mood and finish off the look!

Stampin’ Up! for Gift-Giving: Create Custom Wrapping, Tags, and Cards

The holiday season and special occasions bring the joy of giving and receiving thoughtful gifts. But there's something even more magical when you add a personal touch to your gift-giving — custom wrapping, tags, and cards! With Stampin’ Up! products, you can take your gift presentation to the next level and turn ordinary presents into extraordinary treasures. Whether you’re wrapping gifts for a birthday, Christmas, or a “just because” moment, here are a few DIY projects to inspire you to create personalized, handmade gift wraps, tags, and cards.

1. Create Custom Gift Wrap with Stampin’ Up!

Why settle for store-bought gift wrap when you can create your own unique designs using Stampin’ Up! products? Here's how you can design custom wrapping paper that reflects the personality of your recipient:

DIY Stamped Gift Wrap

Supplies Needed:

• Stampin' Up! Ink Pads (choose colors to match the occasion or theme)
• Stamp Sets (Floral, Geometric, or Fun Patterns)
• Large Roll of Kraft or White Paper
• Clear Acrylic Block
• Adhesive (for attaching your wrap)

Instructions:

1. Lay out your kraft or white paper flat on a large surface.
2. Choose a stamp set that fits the theme of your gift. For a birthday, you might use balloons or confetti; for Christmas, try using snowflakes or ornaments.
3. Using a clear acrylic block, pick up your stamp and press it firmly into the ink pad. Stamp the design onto the paper in a scattered or repeating pattern, making sure to leave some space between stamps for a balanced look.
4. Let the ink dry before cutting the paper to size and wrapping your gift.
5. Add a touch of elegance by stamping a sentiment like “Happy Birthday” or “Merry Christmas” directly onto the paper.
6. Use a letter stamp set (like Stampin' Up! Classic Letters) to spell out the recipients name or personalized message

Not only does this technique create one-of-a-kind wrapping, but it’s also an eco-friendly option that reduces waste. Plus, it's a great way to match the wrapping paper to your recipient’s favorite colors or a special theme!

2. Personalized Gift Tags with Stampin’ Up!

Gift tags are a small yet meaningful addition to any present. With Stampin’ Up!, you can design beautiful, one-of-a-kind tags that stand out and make your gift feel extra special. Here's a simple project to help you create custom tags for your gifts:

DIY Stamped Gift Tags

Supplies Needed:

• Stampin’ Up! Tag Punch or Dies
• Stamp Sets (appropriate for the occasion)
• Ribbon or Twine
• Stampin’ Blends or Markers
• Adhesive

Instructions:

1. Start by using the Tag Punch or dies to create your base tag from card stock. You can choose any color that suits your gift or holiday theme (red for Christmas, pink for birthdays, etc.). If you don't have any tag punches or dies, simply cut a piece of cardstock to your desired measurements.
2. Next, stamp a sentiment or decorative image onto the tag. Try layering different stamps, such as a large image in the background with a smaller sentiment in the foreground. Stampin’ Up!’s intricate stamp designs are perfect for this layered look.
3. Add some color to your tag with Stampin’ Blends or markers. Whether you choose to color in your stamped images or just highlight certain parts of the tag, this adds a nice touch of detail.
4. Punch a hole in the top of the tag and tie it with some twine, ribbon, or even a decorative clip.
5. Finish off the tag with a bit of sparkle using embellishments like rhinestones or glitter to give it an extra festive touch.

This custom tag will make your gift feel more thoughtful and personal, showing that you took the time to add a creative touch.

3. Handmade Cards to Complement Your Gifts

No gift is complete without a heartfelt card. With Stampin’ Up!, you can easily create cards that match the theme of your wrapping and tags, giving your gift presentation a cohesive and polished look.

DIY Greeting Cards

Supplies Needed:

• Stampin’ Up! Cardstock (for the base)
• Stamp Sets (choose one that fits the occasion)
• Ink Pads
• Adhesive
• Embellishments (like ribbons, sequins, or brads)

Instructions:

1. Begin by cutting a piece of card stock to your desired card size. A standard A2 card size (4.25” x 5.5”) is a great choice.
2. Fold the card stock in half to create the card base.
3. Stamp the front of the card with your choice of images and sentiments. Use layering techniques to add depth, such as stamping a large image on the background and adding a smaller sentiment in the foreground.
4. For added texture and interest, emboss part of your card with a Stampin' Up! embossing folder, or add a touch of shimmer with Wink of Stella or some sequins.
5. Inside, write a personal message, and your card is ready to go!

The best part about making cards with Stampin’ Up! is the variety of styles and themes available — you can create everything from elegant and sophisticated designs to fun and whimsical ones. Plus, you can coordinate your cards with your wrapping and tags, ensuring a beautifully unified gift presentation.

4. Add Extra Sparkle with Embellishments

For an extra special touch, consider incorporating Stampin' Up! embellishments into your gift wrapping, tags, and cards. Rhinestones, pearls, sequins, and washi tape are just a few ways to add a little extra shine. Glittery accents or embossed details also create texture and visual interest that will make your projects stand out.

Final Thoughts

Stampin’ Up! offers endless creative possibilities to help you elevate your gift-giving experience. Whether you're creating custom gift wrap, personalized gift tags, or beautiful greeting cards, these DIY projects allow you to add a personal, heartfelt touch to every present. And with the wide variety of stamp sets, ink pads, and embellishments available, you can easily tailor your designs to any occasion or recipient.

This season, make your gifts even more memorable by using Stampin’ Up! to craft thoughtful, handmade wrapping and cards. Your loved ones will appreciate the time and effort you’ve put into making their gifts feel unique and extra special. Happy crafting and gift-giving!

Until next time!

Holiday Gift Giving Made Easy!

Well, it's that time of year - time to start thinking about holiday gift giving. I know, I know ... it's too soon! I feel ya. It seems like it comes earlier every year lol

As a crafter, I try to start thinking about it and planning earlier than this ... because it does take time to come up with gift ideas/projects, gather the supplies, and then of course design the projects and execute them.

So, I usually begin with creating a list of gift recipients, and ohhh myyy gosh! There's family (sisters, in-laws, cousins) friends, co-workers, boss, kids teachers and coaches, mail carrier, house party hostesses, neighbors; plus when you have kids, it seems you're at the doctor or dentist office very often and you become friendly with the staff and want to show appreciation ... so then we add secretaries, nurses, medical assistants, dental assistants ... ahhhh it can be so overwhelming! And these are just the women!

Well thanks to Color Street's new holiday bundles release, I've come up with some great gift giving ideas that'll give you the biggest bang for your buck! Now hear me out because I know it's going to seem like a lot. But let's do the math ...

There are 4 new holiday bundles that come with a total of 28 products if you bought all 4 ...

Bundle 1 ... Lipstick Vault $140 (16 products)

contains all 12 shades of lipstick, plus 4 shades of lip liners

Bundle 2 ... Lush Lashes $50 (2 products)

contains Tri-Flex Mascara and Waterproof Tri-flex Mascara

Bundle 3 ... Luminous Lips & Tips $50 (5 products)

contains 4 travel size Lips Oils (including 1 NEW Pixie Lip Oil), plus 1 Pixie nail strip set

Bundle 4 ... Glow All Out $50 (5 products)

contains a black velvet makeup bag, (NEW)Jelly Pout lip treatment, travel size Blackberry Lip Oil, Tinted Lip Balm, and Tokyo Lights nails strip set

Nails strip sets are always Buy 3, Get 1 Free; so add 4 glitter sets for $39

Okay, now we have 32 individual products for $329. Now don't freak out! Because if you calculate that to average, each item will cost you only $10.28! That's just $10.28 per gift!!

Just look at all that you get ...

I like buying holiday themed cellophane 'goodie bags' to put small gifts in. You can buy them at the Dollar Store or Target, or really anywhere you shop. I found these cute ones on Amazon. They are big enough to hold a 16 ounce jar, come in packages of 20 and have built in drawstring ribbons that are perfect. Just add a little bit of shredded filler and it's done

If you want to add a little more, combine 2 of the products as a gift. You would have 16 gifts and it would only cost you $20.56 per gift! Again, just add them to a cute bag, add some filler and you're set. You could pair a nail strip set with a lipstick, or a lip liner with a lip oil, the possibilities are endless! Here are a few ideas for you ...

Do you want to step up your gift an extra notch? Ulta has their annual Sweet and Shimmer sale going on right now! The products are so cute! And they're on sale for 5 for $10. That's only an additional $2 per item added to your gift! Here are a few of the items that I ordered ...

Here's a gift idea that would only cost you $24.56. 2 Color Street products, plus 2 Ulta products ...

Okay, so I know that seems like a lot of money to buy all 4 of the Color Street bundles. But here's another option that I just have to point out ... if you buy the Lipstick Vault bundle, you'll get 12 full size lipsticks plus 4 full size lip liners - that's the BEST deal! 16 products at $8.75 each!!

If you want to step that one up a bit, add (2) B3G1F glitter set deals at $39 each. You can add 2 lipsticks and a nail set and it would only cost you $24.24 each for 8 gifts

Again, you can step it up even further by adding some Ulta products. The hair scrunchies and makeup sponges come 2 in a pack - split them up for $1 each, and the large nail files come 3 in a pack so they're only $0.66 each! This would be an awesome gift for only $29.96 ...

As you can see, there are SO many possibilities! Play around, do the math - the deals are ahh-mazing! You could totally put together some great gifts that won't cost you a fortune!

And if you want to step it all the way up, start your journey with Color Street as a stylist for just $99!! The starter kit comes with the following and could easily be split up for gift giving:

1 Lipstick, Lip Liner, 1 Lip Balm, 1 Powder Blush, 1 Balm Blush, 9 Nail Strips, 1 Hand Lotion, 1 Cuticle Oil, 50 2-Finger Testers, 100 Prep Pads, Large Nail File, Nail Buffer, 10 Core Catalogs, 25 Opportunity Brochures, Stylist Launch Guide, Tote Bag, Welcome Letter

One more thing before you leave! How would you like to have your own personal shopping link? The link would last for 30 days and you can add as many orders to it as you want. You can even share the link with family and friends for them to order from and you can earn free rewards! If you'd like more information, check out this recent blog post explaining how it works ...

Slot Machine Birthday Card

Hello, hello!! I know, it's been a hot minute since I've posted. Summer is here and I've been keeping busy out in my backyard lol

I did take some time recently to create a birthday card for my husband. Let me start by saying, we love playing slot machines! Prior to Covid, we use to go to Vegas at least once a year, sometimes twice. Then Covid hit and we stopped going for obvious reasons. We will get back there eventually (hopefully SOON!). In the meantime, the hubs discovered some local gaming cafes that he likes. So, I decided to create this card for him and give him some extra cash to go spend a few hours in his happy place. Here's the card I made ...

I was inspired from a card I seen on the internet and I tweaked it a little (I'm so sorry to whoever created it, I never copied the name to give credit). The card I seen, had no measurements so I decided on a 5"x7" card, using my Cricut cutting machine. I designed all of the elements in Cricut Design Space by using basic shapes and searching out the images that I wanted to use ...

For the writing, I used Cricut's font BFC Autumn Woodland, and Cricut Gold Metallic marker on the front and Cricut Black marker on the inside. I originally wanted the writing on the front to be silver and use silver foil cardstock for the coins and the word You, but my silver metallic marker wasn't working so I went with the gold. 

To save on paper and cutting, I used my Stampin' Up! trimmer to cut the Basic Black cardstock 10"x7". then folded it in half for the card base. I also used the trimmer to cut the Basic Gray cardstock 4.5"x6.5" for the card base front layer. I cut out all of the other pieces with my Cricut. 

Aside from the Cricut machine and markers, I used Stampin' Up! cardstock (it's what I always use for all of my paper crafting lol) The colors may look a little off because of photography, but I used the following cardstock ...

Basic Gray

Gray Granite

Basic Black

Basic White

Crushed Curry

Real Red

Gold Foil 

I used Tombow multi-purpose liquid glue to attach all of the pieces together, then began putting the card together ...

I created the money bag to put some cash 'in' by creating an offset in Design Space and used a piece of scrap paper to attach it to the back and then to the card. For the coins, I curled the cardstock with the side of a pen, then put a dab of glue on each side to attach the front and back leaving an opening.  Then I used a skewer to roll up the money and insert into each coin ...

I used a dab of glue on the back of each coin to attach them all to the inside of the money bag, then attached it to the inside of the card ...

And here's the completed card ...

Since his birthday fell on Fathers Day, and I already had my Cricut out, I decided to make him a couple of t-shirts. He's a truck driver and is constantly complaining about dispatchers, traffic, his job and everything else that's related lol ...

He truly loved the card and t-shirts when I gave them to him! He really wanted to head off to the local gaming cafe immediately, but stayed home and spent a pool day with the family lol. 

Well, thank you very much for stopping by today! I hope I was clear in my instructions, but if you have any questions please don't hesitate to ask! Leave a comment or send me a message. You can reach all of my links right here ...
