Be Mine

Hi Stampers,

This is the other project from stamp club that I promised to show you. I used the pillow box die and my Big Shot to create this too cool candy holder for valentines day. The paper is from the LOVE YOU MUCH promotion Stampin' Up! is offering.

I simply rolled my die through the big shot and used the awesome three heart punch to punch the windows on one side. I took a small piece of acetate and taped on the inside of the pillow box to keep all the goodies inside. I used one of the hearts that was punched out and adhered it to the "friend to friend" which was punched with the word window punch. I took a piece of Riding Hood Red ribbon and tied a knot at one end. I used the linen thread to attach the word window to the riding hood red ribbon. Thats it...but dont forget to add your candy. I used conversation hearts, but you could certainly use M&M's or something else if you'd like. I think I'm going to make about a dozen of these for my co-workers. I think it will brighten their day.

I hope you all have a Great day too! Now Go Stamp Something!!

Stamp Club 2009 and a Challenge!

Hi Stampers,

This is one of the projects we'll be making at Stamp Club on Monday. I just got some new rubbah, and haven't played with it very much. This card went together in about 5 minutes, and most of that was cutting out the heart. The card is 4"X4" square. The designer series paper is from the Raspberry Tart collection, and is 2"X4". I stamped the heart with versamark and embossed it with silver embossing powder. You probably cant see it in the photo, but I used my versamarker to outline the heart and dab in the circles and flowers. Versamark is my friend!@! I use it much more than I ever thought I would. Then I just tied some white ribbon around the middle. I used the word window punch to punch out at the bottom right hand corner of the card, and embossed the friend to friend in silver. I couldn't get a good picture of that either, but just try to imagine it. I cant say that this card just totally WOWED me, but it's not the worst I've done either...lol. It's very simple, and would be easily reproduced to make a bunch for a kids valentine party or whatever.

Stay tuned for another project from stamp club later this week.

NOW FOR A CHALLENGE!!!

I challenge each of you to create at least ONE Valentines day card using a "non traditional" color. It doesn't even have to use a heart, but there will be bonus points for that... :) I might even find a gift around here for the winner. All you have to do is either upload your card to your blog, and come back here to post a link in the comments section, or email me a picture of your card so I can post it here. The deadline is February 7. You can make as many as you want...you'll increase your chances of winning! Now Go Stamp Something!!
