Filled with Sweetness/Made with Sweetness

This past weekend at Stamp Camp we used products from the Made With Sweetness and Filled With Sweetness bundles. These products were super fun to work with. I love all the cute dies and paper!

My Favorite are the fruit die cuts, so I had to make a treat holder using them. I found these fun berry gummies at the grocery store, so berry die cuts were perfect. I also saw peach gummies and cherry gummies so I could have gone with those too. These would be great to hand out to teachers, co-workers, or anyone you connect to throughout the day. One person at Stamp Camp said that she was going to give them to her hairdresser :)

Here is a how to for this treat holder and I also show you the dies up close and several cards made with the products too.

There are TWO different fruit 'Sweetness' bundles, so I will show you them both. This first one is super fun with a JAR SHAPED CARD! The dies cut out all the stamps and you can use the jar as a card with the fold already scored for you, or just cut out one jar and use it on it's own. There are really nice labels and cute accents for the jar, like the frilly lid cover and bow.

Here are some samples made with this bundle.

This next bundle is meant to coordinate with the Filled with Sweetness bundle, but the Made with Sweetness bundle has more of a scrapbook feel in the larger font stamps and sentiments. However, I think you can make some great cards too! and I just LOVE the dies with this one!

You can purchase the dies on their own or as part of the bundle.

The fruit jar collection also has paper, ribbon and embellishments all the match. There is even a scrapbooking kit! So Cute!!

SPECIAL OFFER

I have a fun deal for you! Purchase the Made with Sweetness or the Filled with Sweetness bundle and I will send you a kit that will make one fun fold card and one treat holder project FREE! (candy not included)

New- All Aflutter stamp set and paper punch from Stampiin' Up!

Hi Stamping friends!! Today I played with the new All Aflutter stamp set with coordinating paper punch. I love a stamp and punch bundle! So fun! This new bundle comes out on May 5th, along with a bunch of other new fun things!!

I picked colors right out of the Beautiful Ordinary Life Designer Series Paper. This paper is so pretty with soft pastels in watercolor washes of patterns on one side, and bold black and white patterns on the other.

I chose to use Pool Party, Flirty Flamingo, and Daffodil Delight for my butterflies.

I created the frame with the Stylish Shapes dies. There are 5 sizes of squares. I used the largest square and the middle sized square to create the frame. I flipped the center cut out over and used the black and white side on the inside of the frame. I used Dimensional Adhesive strips to pop the frame out a bit.

The sentiments are stamped in Versamark on Basic Black cardstock, then heat embossed with white embossing powder.

I added some Bakers Twine bows in black on the white card base and white on the black card base. I also added some fun enamel dots called 'Array of Dots'.

I couldn't decide on a card base color. I almost choose Pool Party, but then decided on Black or White. I still couldn't choose so I made one of each. I still am not sure which one I like better!

Let me know which one you like better in the comments on my Video!

These products are part of the next catalog which comes out on May 5th. I will have links to the catalog here on May 5th so be sure to check back!

Flowers Fair Stamp set and the Spotlight Technique

Hi Stamping Friends. Today I am sharing a card with the new Flowers Fair Stamp Set. I love this stamp!! It is one very large stamp. I knew when I first saw it that the stamp would be great for many coloring techniques and I love to color. For my first coloring session with the stamp I chose Watercolor Pencils!! I love these. I love that I can blend the colors and choose to use them with or without water. I also love that I can color on Crumb Cake and many other colors of cardstock. This is because the pigment of the pencils sits on top of the paper, where as the markers or ink would blend into the paper, changing the colors and making them duller and darker.

I used these cards for a swap, so I had to make twenty of them. I then thought, wow that is a lot of coloring!! Then I remembered the Spotlight Technique. The spotlight technique is where you highlight only a section of a larger image or pattern, where stamped or in Designer Series Paper. You can use dies or punches to create these highlighted areas. For this card I choose a Heart shape die from the Endless Love dies from Stampin' Up!

I started by stamping on Basic White cardstock with Memento Ink. I then die cut the heart. I used Stampin' Up! Watercolor Pencils in Flirty Flamingo, Daffodil Delight, Granny Apple Green and Coastal Cabana.

I made a card base with Bubble Bath and cut a smaller heart in Bubble Bath, also from the Endless Love dies. I used some 1/8 Bubble Bath Ribbon and small adhesive pearls for embellishments.

I used dimensionals to pop up the hearts to set them even more apart from the background.

In keeping with the heart theme, I used sentiments from the Friendly Foliage stamp set.

After creating the first card I remember how much I really like coloring on Crumb Cake Cardstock and decided to see what that would look like. I decided to Heat Emboss with Black Embossing Powder the image on this version. I used the same colored pencils, omitting the Coastal Cabana.

I added some Wink of Stella splatter as well.
