Today's card is a strawberry card using the Tart and Tangy stamp set. Super cute if you ask me! ;)




STEPS:

1. I used a Whisper White card stock base cut at 5 1/2" x 8 1/2" and folded it in half.
2. Next I stamped the strawberry image from the Tart & Tangy stamp set in Versamark on Old Olive card stock.
3. Then I used my Real red and Old Olive Stampin' Write Markers to color in the strawberry stamp and stamped it randomly on a piece of Whisper White card stock.
4. I matted the strawberry panel on a piece of Basic Black card stock and mounted it to the card.
5. I stamped the sentiment from the Wow Flowers stamp set in Jet Black Stazon on Whisper White card stock and punched it out with the Word Window Punch.
6. That was layered on a piece of Old Olive punched with the Modern Label Punch, then onto Basic Black punched with the 1" Circle Punch and finally onto Real Red punched with the Designer Label Punch.
7. I added a strip of Basic Black card stock after adding a strawberry brad I picked up at the Scrapbook Expo then adhered my sentiment stack.

Teacher Appreciation

Hi there Stampers! Thanks for joining me!

Today's project is a card and candy holder for one of my middle daughter's teachers. Usually teacher gifts are easy for me because most of the teachers we have had have been female-so anything pretty much goes, flowers, cutesie images, etc. It took me a little while to figure out what to make that was masculine.

I started out with a WW card base, added a strip of retired Ski Slope DSP with some Old Olive Grosgrain Ribbon wrapped around it and stamped the apple from the Tart and Tangy set using my SU Markers. I punched the apple out with my 1 1/4" Circle punch and layered it on some Close to Cocoa cardstock punched with the 1 3/8" Circle Punch. That was layered on some Old Olive punched with the Scallop Circle Punch and adhered with a Dimensional. The sentiment is from the One Smart Cookie stamp set and is stamped in Basic Black.

The gift is a giant Hershey's Chocolate bar wrapped in some more retired Ski Slope DSP. Hey, men like chocolate too, right?
I learned how to make this candy bar slider from the fabulous Queen of Purple, Dawn Griffith. Click HERE to see her awesome tutorial. To decorate the candy bar slider I stamped "A Little Yummy for Your Tummy" from the retired Yummy stamp set from Sale-A-Bration and layered it on a mat of Old Olive cardstock after using my Ticket Corner Punch to notch out the corners.


I'm sure he'll like it-who can resist chocolate?!

Hope you have a terrific day!
Hugs,
