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.

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!
