Hey there stampers! Thanks for stopping by!

Love You A Latte

Hey there stampers! Hope you are having a fabulous weekend!  I had the first of my two Valentine Stamp Camps last night and it was such fun to see everyone!  This afternoon I have the second bunch of ladies coming to stamp and I know it will be a fun time!
Today's project is the 3-D item we are making at my stamp camps.  It's a simple but super cute treat perfect for teachers and co-workers!  I simply decorated an individually wrapped Nonni's Biscotti and added the "Love You A Latte" stamp from the Pun Fun stamp set as the tag!

                                  Here I moved the tag over so you can see the stamping underneath.
STEPS:

---

1. Using your Big Shot and the Top Note Die die cut Pretty in Pink card stock and stamp the hearts from the I (Heart) Hearts stamp set with Rose Red ink.  Make sure you stamp it so when you wrap your biscotti in it that the hearts are facing the right way. ;)
2. After stamping run the top note piece through the Big Shot again with the Perfect Polka Dots Embossing Folder and punch a hole in the top to run the ribbon through with the 1/8" Circle Punch.
3. Tie Pretty in Pink Striped Ribbon through the top and tie into a bow with your biscotti inside.
4. To make the tag take the "Love You A Latte" stamp from the Pun Fun stamp set and stamp in Versamark ink on Whisper White card stock.  Sprinkle on Black Embossing Powder and heat set with the Heat Tool.
5. Color in with Stampin' Write Markers in Creamy Caramel and Regal Rose and punch with the 1 3/4" Circle Punch.  Punch a small hole in the top with the 1?16" Circle Punch and tie onto package with Silver Elastic Cording.
   

INGREDIENTS:

Today's card is one I designed with one of my friends and customers, Marcella.  She wanted to do a ladybug theme in pink for her daughter's 3rd birthday party invitations.  I took the extra one we made and played around changing it just a bit but the original one is super cute-just simpler since we had to make like 35 of them!

5. Add Basic Black spots using the 1/2" and 1" Circle Punches and add to body.  Add Pink Passion circles punches with the 1/2" Circle Punch.
6. To make the antennae, punch part of a 1 3/4" Circle in Basic Black and then bring the punch back in and punch out just a sliver of the crescent created.  Cut it in half and you have two antennae.  I added 3/4" Basic Black Circles with Dimensionals for fun.

Sneak Peek from my Class this Sat.

Hey there stampers! Thanks for stopping by today!
Today's card is one we are doing at my Desk Top Calendar and Thank You Note Class this Sat.  I am using the Very Thankful stamp set on all of the cards.  Not only is it a great and inexpensive stamp set but Stampin' Up donates $2 of every set sold to the Ronald McDonald House Charities.  They choose a different stamp set every year just for this cause.  Gotta love that!

STEPS:

---

1. Stamp the turtle image from the Very Thankful stamp set in Jet Black Stazon onto Whisper White and color in with Stampin; Write Markers.  Mat onto Soft Suede card stock.
2. Mat a panel of Christmas Cocoa DSP onto Soft Suede card stock and then onto a card base of Kraft card stock.

Elegant Bouquet for a Fab Friend :)

Hey there stampers! Happy Monday!  Hope you had a great weekend!  Mine was spent being lazy for the most part and it was wonderful! :)
Today's card is one I made over the weekend trying to come up with my thank you cards for my upcoming class.  I decided against it because the coloring of the embossed flowers was a little time consuming- especially if you are a perfectionist.  When you have 12 ladies in your class and you all have to share the same set of Stampin' Write Markers you just can't have a time consuming coloring project. :)

STEPS:

---

1. Using the Big Shot and the Elegant Bouquet Embossing folder, emboss a piece of Pale Plum card stock.  Color in the raised images with Stampin' Write Markers and adhere to a Perfect Plum card base. 
2. Stamp the sentiment from the Oval All stamp set in Perfect Plum ink.  Color in flowers with Pale Plum Marker and punch with the Large Oval Punch.
3. Layer sentiment onto Perfect Plum punched with the Scallop Oval Punch and adhere to card with Dimensionals.
4. Add Organza ribbon (craft store) and tie into a knot.
   

INGREDIENTS:

---

• STAMPS: Oval All
• INK: Perfect Plum, Stampin' Write Markers
• PAPER: Perfect Plum, Pale Plum, Whisper White
• ACCESSORIES: Organza Ribbon
• TOOLS: Large Oval Punch, Scallop Oval Punch, Elelgant Bouquet Embossing Folder, Big Shot
  

Thanks for stopping by and hope to see you here again soon!
