Stampin Up Ribbon Shares

Blended Bloom

June 23, 2014 By Connie | 2 Comments

Ahh, the things we do for our kids…even when they aren’t living at home anymore! Our son drove his wife and Carter to her parents’ home a few states away, then flew back home. He asked us to pick him up at the airport. No problem! Well, the original time to arrive was 11:45 PM…late enough! But because of storms and delays, he ended up getting in at 2:00 AM! Yep…this puppy is dragging today even though I got to sleep in a little. Our poor son had to get up early and go into work! I see a nap in my afternoon plans.

I was originally going to use this card for one of my Create with Connie and Mary challenges, but decided to go a different route. So, I thought I’d share it now. The Blended Bloom stamp is perfect for practicing with the Blendabilities. I hope they will be available to customers soon!

Here are the details:

The base is 5 1/2 x 8 1/2 Pool Party, folded in half.
I embossed the 4 x 5 1/4 layer of Whisper White with the Honeycomb folder.
On top of that I added the chevron pattern from Brights Backgrounds DSP.
The flower I stamped with Tuxedo Black Memento Pad on Whisper White and used the Daffodil Delight and Pumpkin Pie Assortments of Blendabilities, then I cut it out. I added a Pearl in the center and placed it on the front with Stampin’ Dimensionals.
I stamped Seize the Cake from Something to Say with Tuxedo Black on Pumpkin Pie cardstock and cut a flag end.
Finally, I punched two flowers from Itty Bitty Accessories from Pool Party and added Pearls to the center.

I really like how the warm yellow and orange pops against the coolness of the Pool Party!

Floral Frames Candy Holder

August 11, 2012 By Connie | 6 Comments

I organized a small candy swap at Convention this year…just a few demo friends were invited and we kept it to less than 10 people. Because it is so hot in Salt Lake City, we used non-chocolate types of candy so it wouldn't melt in our suitcases coming or going!

My contribution could easily be adapted to either a chocolate or non-chocolate item because it just wraps around the item. I chose to use some shortbread cookies in my floral "vase".

I started by cutting two Apothecary Accents "vases" from Pool Party cardstock. I ran them thru the Big Shot with the Chevron Folder. I scored the bottoms right under the area that flairs out again (about 1" from the end) on both pieces. I adhered them together and then added a rectangle reinforcer piece cut to the same width for some extra stability on the bottom.

I cut the flower layers from Polka Dot Parade Designer Papers and the Floral Framelits die. The leaves are two petals cut from one of the larger flowers and Lucky Limeade cardstock. In the center I pierced a hole through both layers of the "vase" and used a Pool Party printed brad to hold it closed. I added the Sweet Treats greeting from Teeny Tiny Wishes to the center, too.

I did add a strip of Sticky Strip to the side of the shortbread cookies package so that it would hold it in place. Didn't this turn out cute??? I love it when something in my head turns out exactly like I had imagined it! I think my swapping friends enjoyed it, too!

I'm getting ready to send in an order for more RIBBON SHARES…most shares are almost full. If you want in, email me…order will be placed on Sunday evening!

Thanks so much!
