Candy Pencil favors

Oh my…aren't these CUTE???  One of my Stamp Club customers, Sandy Moore, was hostess this month and made one for each of the women in the Club!  I wish I would have remembered to take a photo of all of them holding their pencils!  They LOVED them!  Thanks SO much for making them, Sandy…such a "sweet" idea!

I had not seen them before, but they are actually cardstock wrapped around a sleeve of Mentos candy with a chocolate Hershey Kiss for the pencil lead end and a Rolo for the eraser.  She scored and sponged the edges to make it look like the sides of a pencil.  The Black Gingham Ribbon and greeting for the Tag Punch are retired, but way too cute!  I absolutely LOVE them!  These would make a fun "back to school" gift for the teacher or classmates!

Stampin' Up!

Starts September 1st

Wicked Cool Bookmark

This will be quick…still not feeling well.  Had to cancel my class that was two hours away, just didn't think I'd be able to make it up and back in a car for that long!  Sad to miss seeing everyone…I hope to reschedule for next week.

This is a fun project that my Stamp Club made last night!  I've seen a lot of the Owl Bookmarks going around, but thought a Halloween one would be fun!

For the front…I took a 2 1/4 x 9 piece of Old Olive cardstock, folded it in half and placed in the Two Tag Die just below the cut line on the top of the tag…that way it doesn't cut thru and will remain folded to fit over the page.  I used the images from Stampin' Up!'s Wicked Cool stamp set…my favorite new Halloween set…can you tell?  I randomly stamped Spooky in the background with Basic Black ink.  On a piece of Whisper White, I stamped the witch hat and shoes in Basic Black.  I used Rich Razzleberry and Old Olive Stampin' Write Markers to color in the hat band and socks, then cut them out.  I punched a Scallop Circle from Rich Razzleberry and 1 3/8 circle from Wicked Fun Specialty DSP and adhered the shoes over top.  The hat was added with a Stampin' Dimensional.

On the back, I stamped Spooky randomly again in the background.  Punched another Rich Razzleberry Scallop Circle.  On Whisper White, I stamped the spiderweb in Basic Gray, then Have a Wicked Halloween in Basic Black over top.

Just slip the bookmark over your page to hold your place!  This makes a FUN little gift for a goblin in your life!  Unfortunately, it doesn't work on my Amazon Kindle!  lol!

August Tour de Freaks is here!

Wow…this really snuck up on me this month!  I can't believe it is the 20th and time for the monthly Tour de Freaks, brought to you by the Control Freak Swappers!  You've probably just come from the talented, FABULOUS Patty Bennett's blog! 

Our theme this month was Sneak Peeks from the new Holiday Mini Catalog!  I know my customers are already commenting on how much they LOVE this mini…I do, too, as my pocketbook will attest to….ouch!  lol!  I just had to have it ALL!  I especially love a lot of the accessories in this mini…it is FULL of them.  You'll notice a lot of them on my projects this month!

To begin, I have a Suspension Bat card!  I had SO much fun making this one!  It kind of evolved!  I started with a base 5 1/4 x 5 1/4 card of Tangerine Tango.  I added a 5 1/4 x 5 1/4 piece of Nite Owl Designer Paper (from the new mini) on the front.  I used my Circle Scissors Plus to cut a 4" circle from the front thru both layers at the same time (if I were doing it again, I'd make it a little smaller…say 3 1/2).  I ran the back half of the Tangerine Tango card stock thru the Big Shot with the Spider Web Impressions Folder…cool!  Then I rubbed some White Craft Ink over the raised embossing with a sponge dauber.  This base card was layered onto a 5 3/8 x 5 3/8 piece of Basic Black card stock for extra support. 

Between the Tangerine Tango front and the Nite Owl Designer Paper, I added two strings of Linen Thread and pulled them tight between the layers, then adhered the layers together.  I sandwiched two layers of the Bat Punch together with the Linen Thread in between…this makes it look like they are flying!  I sponged White Craft around the edges of the bats and added a Rhinestone jewel to their heads.  I wrapped some of the new 1/2 Raven Lace Trim into a bow in the upper left corner…love that stuff, too!

I stamped the spider from Stampin' Up!'s Dark & Dreary on Whisper White, colored it with the Basic Gray Marker and cut it out.  I added two 1/2 backed pearls for the body…one smaller than the other. and placed it on the Spider Web with a Stampin' Dimensional.  I used the new Decorative Label Punch with Basic Black Card stock, sponged around the edges with White Craft Ink.  I cut EEK out of Tangerine Tango "glitter paper" with the Timeless Type Alphabet die and adhered to the front of the Label.  Then I placed the label on the front of the card.  (Note:  to make glitter paper, apply Versamark to the card stock direct to paper, pour on Iridescent Ice EP, shake off excess, then heat set…makes glitter paper in every color that Stampin' Up! carries!)  I LOVE my blinged out Suspension Bat card!

My second project was just as fun!  It's a Bat Cone Candy Holder.  It makes me LAUGH!  I traced a bat pattern onto Basic Black card stock, cut it out, then ran it thru the Big Shot with the Texture Plates Kit #4.  I had to run it thru a couple times to get the entire bat textured.  I used the sponge dauber and White Craft Ink to go around the edges.  I added Real Red Glimmer Brads for the eyes and drew the fangs with my White Gel Pen.  I pulled it into a cone shape and secured in the back with Sticky Strip.  I added a hanger with 1/2" Raven Lace Trim by piercing holes in the sides of the cone and tying knots inside the cone.

For the treat, I filled a small Cello Bag with Halloween colored M&Ms and tied it closed with a piece of the Raven Lace Trim.  I added a tag made with the Dark & Dreary stamp, inked in Basic Black and stamped on Whisper White, then punched with the Decorative Label Punch.  I added the 31 by stamping again on Real Red, then punching with the 1/2 circle punch and placing it on top with a Stampin' Dimensional.  I also used a sponge dauber with Basic Black ink and sponged all the edges.

EDIT:  As promised, here is the Bat Cone Candy Favor template to download!

Wedding Reception Favors

Thought you might like to see what I spent the weekend working on for the Wedding Reception (part 3) next weekend.  As you may already know, my son was married in Cancun in June, we had one reception for her family in Wisconsin last month and the final reception is in Ohio next weekend.  This is the one my husband and I are hosting!  I decided (last minute!) to do some type of wedding favor.  I made 60 of these over the weekend, unfortunately no stamping on them, but I thought you'd still like to see them!

I found some shell candy molds at my local store and asked my upline, Candy, to show me how to do molded chocolates.  She ran over Saturday morning, showed me what to do, and I went to work.  I ended up making 200 of the smaller shells and 60 of the large starfish in both milk and white chocolate on Saturday.  Each Medium Cello Bag has a large starfish and 3 of the smaller shells.

Sunday I made the tags.  Unfortunately, the Two Tags die was too large, so I ended up using a punch tag that I had.  This was one of my favorite photos from the wedding in Cancun.  I photoshop'd it to a smaller size and added the Adam & Beth, 6-18-2010 date on the front, then printed them out in 1 1/2 x 2 1/4 size.  I layered them onto Crumb Cake punched tags, punched a hole in the top with my Crop-A-Dile, then tied them with the Kraft Satin Ribbon (non-SU)…same as I used on the wedding invitations.  I think they turned out really fun and I can't wait for the kids to see them!

Oh…and while I was waiting for the candy to chill between fillings, I was able to roll all my silverware in napkins…so another project done!  It was a productive weekend!  Woohoo!  Now if I could only find some short candles in their Cornflower color, I could finish up the centerpieces!  lol!

Don't forget!  Create with Connie and Mary is looking for FOUR new Design Team Members for the next session of Create with Connie and Mary, featuring the Holiday Mini!  We'd love to have you apply!  If you applied last time, try again!  We had so many great applications last time it was very hard to choose!  You can find out more information over on Create with Connie and Mary!

Wedding Favors

Here is a picture of Beth and I sharing a Mimosa toast before the Wedding.  Yes…she is TALL…I felt like a shrimp around her family all week…Beth is 5'11, her sister and mom around 5'10", and her dad is well over 6"5".  No wonder Beth played basketball…of course, her dad was the coach, too!  Being only 5'3", I looked up a lot this weekend!  lol!  My son, Adam, is 6'1" so they actually look great together!

I know most of you have seen the little straw baskets that are going around made with the Baskets & Blooms XL die!  I loved the Tropical look to them!  I wanted to make some in the wedding colors…Kraft, Cornflower Blue and White.  I thought the Kraft (now called Crumb Cake) made a nice beach basket.  I ran the two basket pieces thru the Big Shot with the Lattice Impressions Folder and I added the stripe trim pieces from the die on the front and back in the Shimmer Cornflower Blue (non-SU) and Shimmer White cardstock.  I made a little open-top box for inside to hold the Small Cello bag filled with Blueberry and Vanilla Jelly Belly candies.  I tied it closed with some Satin Kraft Ribbon (non-SU).

I printed the Beth & Adam, Riviera Maya, Mexico with the wedding date 6.18.2010 on the computer, then punched with the 1 3/8 Circle Punch.  I layered it on more Cornflower Blue Shimmer cardstock punched with the Scallop Circle Punch.  These were placed at the place settings at the Wedding Reception.

I was SO pleased with how they turned out!  Everyone loved them, too!  I meant to take a picture of all 55 of them, but forgot.  I took them flat with Sticky Strip adhered to the box inside, so all I had to do was peel off the tape and put them together and put in the bag of candy.  However, that night we were putting them together, I fell FLAT on my hands and knees when crossing a little wood bridge.  Banged up my knee pretty good…thought for sure I'd be limping for the wedding.  Luckily, the ice pack helped and kept the swelling down.  I was able to move around pretty good…except for going up steps!  I still have a nice bruise on my knee…my dress hid it, though.  But…that's why I forgot to take pictures of the finished ones!

Here is a picture of their first dance at the Reception.  It was held outdoors on the Boardwalk right next to the beach.  They had tables of 8 set up and a big area for dancing.  Behind them is the Buffet and bar set up…everything tasted great!

Tomorrow is a NEW Create with Connie and Mary Thursday Challenge…don't forget to check it out and play along!

May Tour de Freaks!

Woohoo!   It's here!  The May Tour de Freaks!  I can't wait to see what these fabulous girls have done…what about you?  You've just arrived from my friend, Lisa Martz's Blog…aren't her projects wonderful?  LOVE that Tropical Party set and Island Oasis paper!

Stampin' Up!'s Sweet Scoops is a favorite of mine from the Summer Mini!  My Technique Class did this card earlier this month using an old favorite technique…SHAVING CREAM!  Doesn't the background just remind you of some melted ice cream?  And…a double scoop of Vanilla and Strawberry ice cream on a sugar cone!  Yummy!

If you haven't done the Shaving Cream Background, it is very simple!  I use an old cookie sheet, spread regular shaving cream on it (I use unscented) and then place a few drops of 2-3 complimentary reinkers in the shaving cream, swirl around with a spoon and then place your Whisper White cardstock on top of the mixed shaving cream.  Lift off the cardstock, take a spatula and scrap off the extra shaving cream…it leaves behind a beautiful marbled look on the cardstock!  I used the reinker colors of Certainly Celery, Pretty in Pink and Barely Banana.  Let it dry, then layer on the base card of Pretty in Pink.  I stamped the Cone with Creamy Caramel Classic Ink on Whisper White and the first scoop with Pretty in Pink.  I stamped the Barely Banana scoop of ice cream on scrap paper, cut it out and adhered on top of the bottom scoop.    I layered it on Pretty in Pink cardstock, then Certainly Celery.  Across the top I used the Scallop Edge Punch on a piece of Barely Banana cardstock, and wrapped Pretty in Pink Taffeta Ribbon around it and tied with a knot.  I finished by stamping the greeting with Chocolate Chip Classic Ink.

You may remember for March's Tour de Freaks, I did a carrot made from the Large Scallop Circle Die.  I decided that I could use the same thing to make an Ice Cream Cone!  I cut the large Scallop Circle die from Creamy Caramel cardstock, then ran it thru the Big Shot with my Square Lattice Impressions Folder to give it a waffle look.   I wrapped it into a funnel and secured with Sticky Strip.  I used some of the left over Shaving Cream paper I made above and punched the Scallop Circle from it.  I also punched So Saffron and Pretty in Pink Scallop Circles.  I adhered them to the inside.   I added the Pretty in Pink Satin Ribbon in a box on the front.  Then used my Chocolate Chip Stampin' Write Marker to stamp the "Have a sweet celebration" on Whisper White and punched with the Wide Oval punch.  I highlighted the sweet with So Saffron marker and sponged the edges with Pretty in Pink.  I think this turned out CUTE!  I haven't seen an ice cream cone done with the Scallop Circle.  Inside I filled with Tropical Jelly Belly candies!  FUN!

Next stop is the fabulous, Mary Brown!  I know you'll love her projects!

This tour we are featuring products from the Summer Mini Catalog.  We've made these projects demonstratable, so you can use the ideas in your workshops and classes!  To go on to the next stop, click on the name at the bottom of this post!

My first project is a pencil/pen pocket holder made from two Top Note diecuts put together.  This was a prize for one of my downline who promoted to Senior Associate at last month's meeting.  I adhere the two Top Notes length to length and along the sides to form the pocket.  I used Stampin' Up!'s Tropical Party stamp set and stamped the leaves in Tempting Turquoise Classic Ink on the Tempting Turquoise background.  I wrapped two pieces Melon Mambo Polka Dot Ribbon around to help keep it secure.  The ends meet under the oval in the front for a finished look.  I cut two ovals from the Ovals die, larger one from Pumpkin Pie cardstock and the smaller one from Whisper White.  I stamped the leaves with Old Olive on the Whisper White.  I added a Melon Mambo 5-Petal Flower Punch, then stamped the large flower in Pumpkin Pie on Whisper White and the small flower in Tempting Turquoise on Whisper White, cut them out, and adhered them with Stampin' Dimensionals to the front of the ovals.  The pens I purchased from Stampin' Up! at Convention (I believe) last year.  I loved that the colors matched the Tropical Party stamp set I wanted to use.

My next card using Tropical Party is a gate fold style card.  This was my Make & Take at the downline meeting we held last month.  I started with a 5 1/2 x 12 piece of Pixie Pink Cardstock and scored it at 2, 4, 8 and 10 inches.  I stamped the small flower randomly across the front in Pixie Pink ink.    I cut a 3×3 piece of Whisper White and stamped the leaves in Old Olive Classic Ink on the front.  I stamped the large flower with Pumpkin Pie and the two small flowers with Pixie Pink on scrap Whisper White and cut them out.  I added a Rose Mini Brad to the center of the large flower and popped it up with Stampin' Dimensionals.  I layered the Whisper White on a 3 1/4 x 3 1/4 piece of Old Olive.  It was adhered on only the left half to the front of the gate fold card.

Inside I cut a piece of 3 3/4 x 5 1/4 piece of Whisper White.  I stamped more leaves in Old Olive and the Coconut drink in Chocolate Chip.  I colored the straw and umbrella with Stampin' Write Markers in Pixie Pink, Old Olive and Pumpkin Pie.  I cut out another Pixie Pink small flower and adhere it with a Stampin' Dimensional.  I stamped Live, Laugh, Love, Happy Birthday from On Your Birthday Stamp set in Pumpkin Pie in the center.

My last card I used Stampin' Up!'s Sentimental Journey stamp set, Travel Journal Designer Paper and In A Word Stamp Set.  I started with a base of Night of Navy cardstock and layered on Pumpkin Pie cardstock.  I added another layer of Confetti White cardstock.  Over the top half of the Confetti, I adhere Bashful Blue cardstock with a piece of Travel Journal Designer Paper on it.  (LOTS of layers!)  I pierced the Bashful Blue with my piercing tool and template across the top.  I stamped Marvelous with my Night of Navy and Pumpkin Pie Stampin' Write Markers in the lower right corner of the Confetti cardstock.  For the focal element, I stamped the car from Sentimenal Journey in Pumpkin Pie Classic Ink on Confetti White and punched with the Wide Oval Punch.  I adhered it to the Medallion of Pumpkin Pie cardtock made with the Lots of Tags Sizzlets die.  I added the compass in Garden Green Classic Ink and punched it with the 1" circle punch.  I placed a Vintage brad in the center and popped it up with Stampin' Dimensionals.  Finally, I added a knot of Pumpkin Pie 1 1/4 Striped Ribbon to the upper corner and punched two 1/4 circles from Garden Green and placed them in the upper right corner of the Designer Paper for some added interest.

I hope you've enjoyed my projects!

Coconut Shaped Favor Box and card – CCMC2

Today is Saturday Challenge #2 with Create with Connie and Mary…it is the only day we share our cards/projects on our personal blogs along with on the Create site for subscribers.  Our subscribers are invited to play along for a chance to win one of two $75 merchandise gift certificates.  We selected Party Favors as our theme this week…it seemed to fit with the Tropical Party, Island Oasis and Island Floral Bigz Die theme we've been doing.  WINNERS of the Flip Flops have been announced, too, so check to see if you've won!

I made this Coconut shaped card as soon as I got my Tropical Party stamp set early last month and saved it for this week.  I knew I wanted to save it for this week's challenge!  Since this week's challenge is Party Favors, I adapted the card to a favor box, too!  I love how they turned out!

On the right is the card, it folds up at the top.  The straw just is adhered inside the card and the umbrella is attached to the front of the card.  I made the straw by rolling up a small piece of Island Oasis striped designer paper and adhered it closed.  I bent the tube so it looked like a straw.  The umbrella is made by cutting Pumpkin Pie, Rose Red, Tempting Turquoise and So Saffron cardstock stacked together with the Circles #2 die (the large circle).  Then I placed the stacked circles on the #2 Scallop Circles just so that one end hung over to be cut by the scallops.  Once cut, I trimmed each of the colors so they layer on top of each other…Pumpkin Pie is the full one, Rose Red I cut off a little on the left side, Tempting Turquoise I cut off about 1/2 and So Saffron is just a sliver left on the right side.  I placed a Tempting Turquoise Mini Brad at the top where they all come together.

For the Coconut, I just used a large 3 1/2 circle of Chocolate Chip cardstock cut with the Circle Scissors.  I stamped Sanded Background with Chocolate Chip Classic Ink for a coconut fiber look on the front and back.  I free-hand trimmed the top of the coconut to look like the stamp in Tropical Party.  I made sure on the card that I left some of the folded edge at points along the top.  On the favor box, I cut two of the same shape.  I added an additional strip of Very Vanilla also free-hand cut to look like the inside of the coconut.  Then I add the trio of flowers and leaves that were stamped and cut out.  I added Mini Brads to the centers.

The Favor Box is the #2 Box XL Die that I cut off the top flap.  I adhered two of the Coconut shapes, front and back.  On the box, I trimmed off the bottom a little so it would sit evenly on the table.  I would probably do the same with the card if I were going to make another one.  Wouldn't these be FUN sitting on your table at a party?

Make sure to check out what the rest of the Create with Connie and Mary Design Team has done this week with Party Favors!  I'm sure they will have wonderful ideas!

Origami Tropical Party Shirt

Oh, I had so much fun making this origami shirt!  I didn't know if it would work, but I had the idea of making it large enough that it could hold candy.  The only candy I had on hand that looked good inside, though, was the boring Starlights.  lol!  The main body of the shirt is 4 1/4 x 4 1/4, with the sleeves and collar hanging over.

I used the colors for the Color Throwndown Challenge…Tempting Turquoise, Rose Red and Kiwi Kiss (I used Old Olive so it is a current SU color).  Of course, I had to use Stampin' Up!'s Tropical Party Stamp Set again…the colors were perfect for it!  I started with an 8 1/2 x 11 sheet of Whisper White Cardstock and randomly stamped the leaves first in Old Olive, then added the Tempting Turquoise and Rose Red large flowers.  I used the directions HERE to make the origami shirt.  For buttons, I used the 5/16" Neutral Jumbo Brads in Silver (white just disappeared). 

 Note:  A couple additions to the directions.  Fold the top flap back 3/4" in Step 3.  In Step 5, mark 3 3/4 from bottom to start the sleeve fold.

When it was finished, I scored 1/2 from the bottom edge of the shirt on both sides of the fold line to have enough space to place a cello bag filled with candy.

It went together pretty easy!  And I think they would be perfect for a Father's Day brunch table favor or Luau Party!
