Sweet Conversations

Saturday Blog Hop – Valentine Favor

By | Leave a Comment

This week’s Create with Connie and Mary Saturday Blog Hop theme is a “Valentine Favor”.  I love sending the grandkids some fun Valentine items and I’m looking forward to getting some packaging ideas this week!

SWEET HEARTS

I think the Sweet Conversations Bundle is one of the cutest we have had in a while!  I used the Sweet Hearts Dies to make another little robot!  (You can see the first one I made here!)  I’ve added my robot to one of the new Sweet Little Boxes.  They hold a box of Conversation Hearts perfectly!

Stampin’ Details:

  • The base is the Sweet Little Box assembled.
  • I added a 2-1/4 x 3-3/8 piece of Sweet Talk Designer Paper to the front.
  • Since I already had one cut out, I used the cloud from the Sunshine & Rainbows DSP, but you could use the Cloud Punch instead!
  • The head and body are cut from Blushing Bride cardstock using the Sweet Hearts Dies.  The larger body heart is cut from Melon Mambo cardstock and the small hearts on the body, eye and antennas are the double heart Sweet Hearts Die cut from Real Red cardstock.
  • I used the squiggle die from Hippo & Friends Dies for the arms cut from Melon Mambo cardstock.  The legs, antennas, and feet are small strips of Basic Black cardstock.  The “lights” on the body is a strip of Real Red cardstock.
  • The hands are a 1/4″ circle punched from Basic Black and the mouth is a half of the 1/4 circle.  The white eye is a 3/8″ circle and the pupils a 1/8″ circle of Basic Black cardstock.
  • Inside the heart and below on the body are Iridescent Rhinestones.
  • Some silver Simply Elegant Trim is added as a bow at the neck with a Mini Glue Dot.

Such a cute little robot, don’t you think?  Perfect for one of the grandkids!  OK, next up on our blog hop is our Create with Connie and Mary website, then on to creative Mary Brown, or head backwards to see Melissa Davies’ fabulous project and see what everyone did with this challenge!

IM209 – Sweet Conversations

By | 2 Comments

Happy Monday! It’s time for our Create with Connie and Mary Inspiration Monday challenge!  I love this fun Valentine’s Day display with the conversation heart balloons, don’t you?  Of course, I had to use Stampin’ Up!’s new Sweet Conversations stamp set for my card today!

 

SWEET CONVERSATIONS

We haven’t had a cute little set like this for a while, so I was pretty excited when I saw the new Jan-June Mini Catalog with these fun conversation hearts!  I tried to replicate the wall of heart balloons on my card!

Stampin’ Details:

    • The base is 4-1/4 x 11 Pool Party cardstock, scored at 5-1/2 and folded.
    • The 4 x 5-1/4 layer of Basic White was embossed with the Dotty Hearts Embossing folder.  Since it is a narrow one, you’ll need to do it twice.
    • A 1-1/4 x 4 piece of Sweet Talk Designer Paper was added to the bottom with a 1/8 x 4 strip of Pool Party added on top to hide the seam.
    • The large heart was punched from the Sweet Talk DSP with the Heart Punch Pack and added on the front with Stampin’ Dimensionals.
    • The conversation heart images were stamped with Memento Black Ink, then the insides stamped with So Saffron, Pool Party, Granny Apple Green, Highland Heather and Real Red Inks to match the stripes in the DSP.  They were assembled on the front with Stampin’ Dimensionals.
    • Happy Valentine’s Day was stamped with Memento Black Ink on a 1/4 x 3 piece of So Saffron cardstock, then cut the flag ends.  It was added to the large heart.
    • A trio of Iridescent Rhinestones were added to the background for a little bling!

Isn’t that cute?  I thought it represented the inspiration photo pretty well!  OK…check out what Mary did with the Inspiration Monday Challenge over on Create with Connie and Mary!
