SWEET TREAT CARD



Hello, Hello, Hello... I've been working on this cute card. If you want to try something different, this would be one to try. You will find yourself experiencing with those craft items that you are afraid of. And I will admit it was scarey for me too! I tried not to make a MOUNTAIN out of a MOLE HILL, and it was smooth sailing all the way..


Sweet treat stamp set #116521
Real Red cardstock #102482
Glorious Green cardstock #101697
Whisper White cardstock #100730
Summer Sun cardstock(not in pic) #103124
1 3/4" punch #112004
Sweet treat cups #116802 (12)

Envelopes (Bubble Mailers) #116911 (3pk)







Here is Summer Sun. (Sorry forgot to add in picture.)
















                                            
Cut Real Red cardstock in half to make 2 cards.

Cut Glorious Green into strips, I used the Eyelet Border punch #113692.











Always use your punch, facing you, so you can see the open view . Move strip to continue border, slide paper to end, where you can lightly see the last punch- overlap slightly.
Next ,stamp out your design.


Fill cups with candy.
Punch out circle.Cut Whisper White into 2 1/4" and Summer Sun into 2 1/2" strip( use larger pieces for easier fitting). Place candy cup into punched out hole.
Carefully remove strip from cup, look for the pre-cut mark.

Now, carefully line up with Summer Sun cardstock. I used a much larger cardstock, and then trim down. This is alot easier then trying to fit into a small area.

Add trim...Cut to fit...I added at the last minute green ribbon, I didn't include it in main products to use, it just seemed natural.



And the finished product.And yes it was (maybe)alot of work, but in the long run, it turn out "Great"! and you can choose the look of the card. With or without the ribbon. Until next time Happy Stamping :)

baby shower door prizes

Thought I would share the baby shower plates I did for my good friend Connie. There are 36 hand painted, the techique is "One Stroke" Menthod. I really had to practice alittle bit to get the hang if the flower. Plates are black( spray painted), with 3 coats of clear lacquer. Took about 3 days to do, and I was very happy when my little gift was done. She knew I did something special, but just didn't know WHAT it was... "SURPRISE" my friend Connie...

EASEL CARD

My first project I would like to share with everybody is this cool card. The Easel Card is easy to make, on a scale 1 thru 5, 5 being the easiest, than 5 it is... This is the first Blog that I've done and experience is going to be the BEST teacher for me, so off we GO!


Here are the materials to use, I did forget to include the markers for santa's head wreath.


Cut a 12x12 piece of cardstock in three to make three stripes of 4x12( this makes three cards), and score at

 4" , 6" and 8".


Fold along score lines.



Add double-sided tape or favorite adhesive on the inner folds of the 2" section.


Attach to back of what will be the upright front panel.
Now add you card front and design. I did do the card front ( Larger than the design), glue design and center on card.
For the inside of card, a small strip of paper for the verse to lay on.




  I used gold string to wrap the inside verse card, wrapped around 7 times to make the easel brace for card front. Glue to card, which gives a nice tucked under look.

See ya all later..

What's going up next

Hello Creators, Today I'm running behind. I'm working on a card to post later. Its not a double folded card, but something different.I have to honestly say my supplies are limited, so the COLORS might just be alittle bit ODD, and its alright at times to be different, cause I think the world would be BB-o-rr-ring if we were ALL the saMe. I also have to come up with 2 different Birthday cards.
