Hello and welcome to our Stampin' Up! bloghop.
If you're already on your journey then you'll have joined me from Zoe. Didn't you just love what she's done, I know I did. (If you haven't been there yet, then don't worry the link at the end of the post will pass you you to the next person in the loop, and then the next and the next until you get round to Zoe and eventually back to me. Then you'll know you've been around the full bloghop - though we have another 2 loops if you've got the stamina!)
My first card uses the new sweet treat cups and can be packaged to send through the post in a specially designed padded envelope (that was the answer to Wednesday's pop quiz, lol, did you spot what they were?).
Recipe
Stamp set: Something Sweet, Happy Moments (sentiment inside)
Cardstock: Almost Amethyst, Elegant Eggplant, Whisper White
Ink: Almost Amethyst, Elegant Eggplant
Punches: 1-3/4" Circle, Round Tab, Scallop Oval, Large Oval, 1/2" Circle
Narrow Grosgrain Ribbon: Elegant Eggplant
Other: White Eyelet, Silver Brad
Non-SU: Small chocolate beans
This is a narrow card (15cm x 7.5cm) so that you can pull the ribboned tab up and release the chocolate out of the back of the card without having to pull the card to pieces. I used my stamp-a-ma-jig to make sure that all the parts of the gumball machine lined up properly.
Although ideal for sweets, these treat cups can be filled with all sorts of fun and sentimental items. I'll be showing you more ideas over the next few weeks or so.
This second card is really quick and easy.
Recipe
Stamp set: I {Heart} Hearts, Whimsical Words
Cardstock: Kraft, Real Red, Whisper White
Ink: Real Red
Punches: Heart to Heart, Small Heart
I punched the hearts trio in the bottom corner of the card. Using the new trio of hearts in the I {Heart} Hearts set I stamped it in Real Red, punched it and used the aperture to place the hearts against the back of the card. I stamped the dinky heart from the set and used the new Small Heart punch. I've always loved our SU punches as they're so great for cardstock but these new punches are even better as they now fold flat for easier storage - brilliant! The sentiment is from one of our recent Sale-a-bration sets.
