Project: Gift Givers!

Time goes by too fast!  I had intended to share this with you over the weekend... and it is already Thursday here on Guam!

This is the second of four cards those attending my Christmas Card Class made.  We used:

Stamps:  Gift Givers (Holiday Mini, pg.39)

Inks:  Jet Black StazOn

Card Stock:  Cherry Cobbler, Very Vanilla

Accessories:  Holly Berry Bouquet Specialty Designer Series Paper (Holiday Mini, pg.20), Cherry Cobbler Seam Binding (pg.195), 2-1/2" Circle Punch (pg.212), 2-3/8" Scallop Circle Punch (pg.210), Dazzling Details (Holiday Mini, pg.41), Glue Dots (pg.206)

I decided I wanted to share the experience of the Treat Cups (pg.182) and Mica Flakes (Holiday Mini, pg.21) so each person made one variation of the card using them.  Here is one of them... using the
other side of the Designer Series Paper and a Garden Green 1/4" Grosgrain Ribbon for the bow.  I think we could have put a bit more of the Mica Flakes inside the treat cups.  Next time!

Tomorrow I will share some of the projects I made for my holiday season displays.

Happy Stamping~

Project: Another Sweet Treat!

Well, I had so much favorable feedback from my last two postings that I decided to combine the two and create this....... using some of my scraps, of course!!!

 
I created a sliding piece in back of the large egg so the candy can be removed without destroying the card itself.  I wasn't able to do that with my Ladybug Sweet Treat card because of the thickness of the chocolate.  I had intended to fill this Sweet Treat Cup with Rolos, but they are too thick.  The only other option here on Guam were these Spring themed M&Ms.  I love how well they match the Stampin' Up! colors!

Supplies Needed:

Stamp Sets:  A Good Egg (pg.46), Well Scripted (Occasions Mini Catalog, pg.19)

Inks:  Jet Black StazOn (pg.190)

Card Stock:  Bashful Blue, Whisper White, Garden Green, Barely Banana, Blush Blossom, Only Orange, Pink Passion, Orchid Opulence, Certainly Celery

Accessories:  Sweet Treat Cups (Occasions Mini Catalog, pg.21), 1 3/4" Circle Punch (pg.186), 3/4" Circle Punch (pg.186), Boho Blossoms Punch (pg.186-187), Stampin' Write Markers (pg.154), Rich Regal Brads (pg.179), Stampin' Dimensionals (pg.192), Whisper White Taffeta Ribbon (pg.183)

Project: Ladybug Sweet Treat!

I was shopping at Payless Supermarket (Guam's locally owned supermarket chain!) and came across the cutest ladybug chocolates.  I knew I just had to buy a package of them for this... my first Sweet Treat Cup card.

One of the demonstrator groups that I belong to recently issued a challenge to get out products we haven't used in awhile to create something to share.  Several of my recent postings have done just that with the Pretties Kit.  This project also meets that challenge because... although they are fairly new... I hadn't used my Sweet Treat Cups yet.  I've also continued the challenge to use scraps by adding the Modern Label focal point.

I purchased the Something Sweet stamp set unmounted so I was able to line up the cling label so that the inside edge of the petal was right on the edge of the punched out circle.  It was so much easier and faster than using a wood mounted image and the Stamp-a-ma-jig!  (Can you tell that I love our new unmounted images... and am looking forward to many more?!?)

To make this card you will need:

Stamp Sets:  Something Sweet (Occasions Mini Catalog, pg.20-21)

Inks:  Jet Black StazOn, Summer Sun and Old Olive

Card Stock:  Whisper White, Basic Black and Summer Sun (Scrap)

Accessories:  Old Olive Stampin' Write Marker, 1 3/4" Circle Punch, Sweet Treat Cups (Occasions Mini Catalog, pg.21), Modern Label Punch, Earth Elements Brads

I enjoyed creating this card more than I thought I would and don't know why I waited so long to make one.  I will definitely be sharing more ideas for the Sweet Treat Cups in the days to come!
