VALENTINE FUN

Holidays are so fun to celebrate, aren't they?  I love HEARTS so I LOVE Valentine's Day.  I love wooden hearts, metal hearts, JEWELRY HEARTS (hint, hint)  ha!!  I have a few fun items to share with you that you could use for Valentines.

 I made this CUTE candy holder out of the scallop square die and my BIG SHOT.  Isn't it adorable??  This paper is in the clearance rack so I have lots to get me through all the valentine's workshops and classes I have planned.  I am going to use whatever is leftover for my mother's day classes as well.

 Here is a side view so you can see how I just put a small strip of paper between the two die cuts to make the cute candy gift holder.  I also used the scalloped heart embosslit and the large heart punch for the deco on the outside.  LOVE IT.

 I made this for a friend and filled with jelly bellies.  It is made with the mini milk carton die and my BIG SHOT.  (see a pattern here about how versatile the BIG SHOT is for all occasions??!!)  You can decorate your cartons anyway you like.  I used some fine glitter on the heart and used a cute stamp on the other one.  T

This is a one-sided holder that only holds two cartons.  I usually make a double one that holds four cartons.  But this one is sweet and was quick to make up for my friend.  I used glimmer brads to hold the tops closed.

This is a die you MUST GET.  I LOVE my mini milk carton die the best of all my dies I own.  Wait till you see my larger carton I made with the same die next time.!!

go have some fun and get some INKY FINGERS Y'ALL!!

PPA111 entry

Hi Y'all,

I have a cute Christmas card for the Paper Pals Arts Challenge 111 this week.  I have been trying to keep abreast of the holidays and did most of my halloween last week, now I am working on my Christmas cards.

This stamps set is so cute and so versatile.  It is the GOT TREATS stamp set.(120627).  I love LOVE LOVE it.  I made this card rather clean and simple so the gingerbread man would stand out as the thing your eye goes to first.

I used last year's dsp called Jolly Holidays.  It is cherry cobbler and old olive as the main colors.  I used some fine glitter on the buttons of my little man, but used real glimmer brads for the accent up at the top of my card. The ribbon is striped old olive ribbon from the clearance rack.  I LOVE this ribbon and got several rolls so I am well stocked before it is all gone.

I also used the scalloped circle punch for the main image second layer, with just the circle punch, sponged on the edges, for my little man.

Isn't he cute?  I love gingerbread men/folks/people...what would be the politically correct name these days?  ha

Thanks for stopping by.  Won't you leave me a comment?  I love hearing your thoughts and look forward to seeing what everyone says.

Thanks!  Inky fingers y'all!

Sunday, Sunday, so good to me....

Sometimes an old song pops into my head from a long time ago.  The Mommas and the Pappas sang this one way back when I was in jr high school I think.

Anyways, thought I would post a cute treat holder I made earlier this week when my mojo was going strong.

This is the Big Shot Mini Milk Carton Die.  LOVE this die.  I use it for all holidays and special events.  It looks different every time I use it!!  I really have gotten my money's worth on this little die.  This one I made as a 2-carton treat in a little holder for valentines day.  I used Pretty in Pink cs, GOT TREATS stamp set, scrap of dsp of unknown origin, some super nova fine glitter on the heart, glimmer brads, and rich razzleberry cs and ribbon.  Here is another photo of them:

Filled it with sweathearts candy hearts for my workshop hostess.
