Stamping With Judy

Valentine's Day Treat Box

This adorable Valentine Day themed treat box is so easy to make.  I used the Big Shot with the Fancy Favor Die (115965) and the new Framelets Heart Collection (2012 Occasions MIni).

Other materials include Pretty in Pink card stock, Pretty in Pink and Real Red 1/4" Grosgrain Ribbon.  The trio Heart punch, "Leaves" embosslets die and the Square Lattice embossing folder which gives the hearts the texture.  Added a couple pears.  Put the Peanut M&M's in our medium clear cello bags.  They fit nicely inside the box. 

The new framlet dies come in a sturdy platic envelope.  However, I find they are easier to work with in a container that allows you to see the entire set at one time.  So, I put a magnetic sheet (yes, we have those in our catalog) in a stamp container (for our clear stamp sets).  I transferred the packing to the container and love it.

The fancy favor die is really easy to assemble.  Try it -- You will like it!  Contact me with any questions you have about this project or anything else you might need to know. 

HAPPY VALENTINE'S DAY

HAPPY MONDAY!  I am back with a Valentine's Day sample for you.  I found this sample on Stampin Connection, a site for Stampin'Up Demonstrators to share their creations.  This one is from Cheryl Sommers and I love the use of the lace punch for this beautiful card.

Another Valentines Sample

In keeping with the Valentine's theme, here is another beautiful card created by fellow demonstrator Hilary Smith.  This was created with the PS I Love You stamp set from the Occasions Mini Catalog.

Hilary also used some of our embossing folders and a selection of Stampin' Up! colors.  I like this card because it steers a bit away from the ALL RED traditional look and helps you to think out of the box a bit.

 

 

FRAMELETS HEART COLLECTION!

With Valentine's Day coming soon I wanted to show you some samples using new Stamp Sets from the 2012 Occasions Mini Catalog.  This sample is by Maureen, a fellow demonstrator.  I love how she used the new Heart Shaped Framelets Die. 

" Used the new Heart Framelits. Wow, they are great. Really clean cuts. Used both the "positive" and "negative" of the DSP to make 2 cards. Stamp Sets: Delightful Dozen and Strength and Hope, topped off with the new Twitterpated DSP."

WEDDING PREPARATIONS IN DECEMBER!

Did you miss me yesterday?  Sorry, I did not have a post for you.  However, when you see today's post you will realise how busy I have been. My new friends Lisa came over with her friends to assemble 250 WEDDING INVITATIONS!  I spent three days with my downline and friends getting everything ready.  It was a big job, but so much fun to spend that time with my friends.  In the picture below the Bride to be is on the right.  Unfortuantely I did not think to take this picture until after three of her friends had gone.  Oh well, at least we have this one. 

Here is the Invitation we designed -- Lisa loved the Confetti Cream card stock as it goes well with her "casual themed wedding".   She will be married near Palm Springs in the desert and has chosen very appropriate table coverings and decorations.

Shown above is the inside of the card.  We prepared 250 invitations and party favors!  Have you counted how many leaves, birds and hearts that adds up to.  Yeah, a lot!  The basic supplies included the Builder Bird Punch, Small and Large Heart Punches, and the Mini Milk Carton Die.  The doily on the belly band is from the Pennant Big Shot Die.  Our card stock colors are Confetti Cream, Soft Suede, Pear Pizazz, Tempting Turquoise and Pacific Point. 

I would love to help you with your party planning.  Contact me to work out the details. 

CONGRATULATIONS LISA! 

HAPPY HOLIDAY SHOPPING EVERYONE!

 

Thanksgiving Card - Gently Falling

Happy Monday everyone!  With Thanksgiving coming up this week, I wanted to show you a quick card that you can do at the last minute.  This sample uses the Falling Leaves stamp set that you will find in the Holiday MIni on Page 16, Item No. 123804 (c) or 123802 (w). 

This artist (name unknown) used the Two-Step stamping method.  This is a simple technique and gives such a beautiful result. 

 

I have not found the names of the lightly stamped words in the background on the art piece and the lable.  I will keep looking.  The label was punched with the Decorative Label Punch (Item No. 120907. Pg. 209 in the IBC).  I love how she made the label look like a medal with the ribbon treatment. 

Very beautiful and fast.  Do you like the Two-Step Stamping?  If you have not tried this, call me for a demonstration.
