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:

• INK: Versamark, Rose Red
• PAPER: Pretty in Pink, Whisper White
• ACCESSORIES: Pretty in Pink Striped Ribbon, Silver Elastic Cording, Black Embossing Powder

Pun Fun Rocket

Hi there Stampers! So glad you stopped by today! Here's a card I made a couple months ago that was straight out of the catalog. It uses a rocket stamp from the Pun Fun set and was colored in with a blender pen. Blender pens are terrific because they allow you to get the look of watercolor with the ease of a marker. The catalog is an excellent resource for ideas that you can just copy or change to suit you tastes. This new catalog doesn't have the "recipes" for the projects listed in the back like they have in years past. Now it is listed online. I have a link to it on the right side of my blog under current SU catalogs.
Ingredients:
Stamps: Pun Fun, Sweet Star Jumbo Wheel (retired)Paper: Old Olive, Rose Red, Taken With Teal, WW Ink:Old Olive, Rose Red, Taken With Teal, Basic Black Accessories:blender pens, Non-SU brad
Thanks for stopping by and have a great Thursday! See you tomorrow with another Furry Friends Friday post!
