Sweet Centers



This is card is made using the new Sweet Centers stamp set (#116521, $29.95, set of 6) from the Holiday Mini Catalog. This set is so awesome because it allows you to add dimensional items (candy, small gifts, etc.) to the center image using Sweet Treat Cups (sold separately, 12 to a package for $2.95, #116802). The background was made using the Batty Jumbo Stampin' Around wheel in Perfect Plum ink onto Perfect Plum card stock.

I wanted more color to the stamped image, so I stamped it in VersaMark ink onto Whisper White card stock. Then, I used the poppin' pastels technique to add Stampin' Pastels to the image. It's then layered onto Pumpkin Pie and Basic Black card stock.
This is a great technique and super easy! I'd be glad to share it with you and your friends at a stamping workshop.

The "eek" image was punched out (it's the center of the bigger image) and attached using Stampin' Dimensionals to the lower right side of the bigger image after the Sweet Treats Cups was added. (They come with adhesive already attached, so it's easy to add.)




Here's another project that I made using the same stamp set and image. It's a treat bag holder. The background was made using the face image from Autumn Harvest stamp set in Rich Razzleberry ink onto Rich Razzleberry card stock. The image from the Sweet Centers stamp set is stamped onto Whisper White card stock using Old Olive ink. A small cellophane bag is added to the inside and attached with a hole punch to the top and tied together with 1/4" Old Olive grosgrain ribbon.



Totally cute!

2011 Desktop Calendar

This month in my stamp club meetings, I had the gals make these desktop calendars. It was a big hit. The image to the left of the calendar can be changed according to the season (winter, spring, summer & fall) by removing the image and placing one of the other 3 onto the velcro dot (attached behind the image). The corresponding side of the velcro dot is placed on the back side of the images. I used the stamp set A Flower for all Seasons , #111592, $14.95. And, the extra images are stored inside in a small cellophane bag. The calendar base takes only 1 sheet of card stock to make, measuring 9" x 6-1/2". With simple scoring and folding, it goes together very quickly. Another demonstrator had shared the calendar file that is printed onto printer paper and cut to size. All fit into the 1/2" library clip from the clips assortment (#112580; $6.95). There are 8 of them included in the package along with a couple of other style of paper clips. While they are still ...

#SU! Christmas Season Simple Elegance Card

When you participate in a swap with other Stampin' Up! Demonstrators, you often get some great ideas! Such was the case this month for me. I received in the mail a swap I participated in (hint: I share the card sent to me in my video tutorial!) this month. My good friend often includes me in her team swaps, and I'm so grateful. I loved the layout and immediately thought of the Christmas Season stamp set. This layout goes together so quickly that you could easily put together a stack of Christmas cards in no time. Change up the colors, and have a variety, or keep them all the same. Whatever you decide, I hope you'll try this out. Here are the measurements for the card: Sahara Sand cardstock: 5-1/2"x8-1/2", scored at 4-1/4" horizontally  Blackberry Bliss cardstock: 3-7/8"x5-1/8" Basic White cardstock: 3-3/4"x5"; 4"x5-1/4" (inside); scrap for the greeting large enough to be cut from the Picture This Die Vellum cardstock : 1-1/8...
