Hey Love Treat Box

I received this treat box at the Demo meeting on Saturday.  SO Stinking cute.....get it?  I do not have this stamp set so wanted to share.  There is still time to order this set for your Valentines.  This was made by Julie for all of the attendees.  SO many adorable animals in this set and matching sentiments.  Thank you Julie for sharing this adorable treat!



Lovely Lipstick was used for the Box and Hearts were cut from the All My Love designer paper.  The Little guy was stamped and colored and popped up on the Box.  Some of the Flirty Flamingo ribbon was tied around the Box.


Here is the Back view and the inside of the Box.  A Mini Conversation Hearts and M&Ms fit perfectly.  SO cute and a Great Treat for your Children and Grand Children.


Here is  the View from the top.  I will be keeping this pattern for future use.  I will deconstruct and post the measurements soon.

Valentine AVID Swaps


I had an amazing time at the Demonstrator gathering this past Saturday.  Lots of great tips and tricks, business discussions and crafting time.  Oh and of Course a SWAP!!  I have been working on Valentine items for the February Uptown Market events so will take advantage of having some Beautiful NEW cards to show you with items I do not have in my craft room!  These Gals are AVID stampers for sure!


This Valentine is OVER the TOP!!  The creator did not label her card so I cannot give her credit.  I talked to her, but do not remember her name.  SO Beautiful and so much work!   She combined Meant to Be Bundle with the Forever Lovely Bundle.  I have not purchased the Lace Dynamic Textured Impressions embossing folder YET,  but WOW it really does a number on this Lovely Lipstick Foil!!  LOOK at that EXTRA on the Envelope flap!


Glitte paper inside the Heart with Petal Pink Hearts with Rhinestones..........Romance in a Card!!!


The Lady that created this card sat at my table.  Debbie is from Kansas and I love how she used the other side of the Lace Embossing folder on her Lovely Lipstick Foil!  Foil Hearts, Vellum Hearts and Cut Out Hearts.  All my Love Designer paper.  And that little Flower that I had no idea was in the Framelits of Forever Lovely!  What a Beautiful card!!


Love that we have a Happy Valentines  Day Sentiment in BOTH sets,  THANKS Ladies for sharing your cards with me!  Both of these Bundles will make awesome Wedding, Anniversary and LOVE cards for the entire year!

Meant to Be Bundle   150587  $53.00



Forever Lovely Bundle 150580 $47.50  I had not even noticed those flowers in the bottom left corner of the bundle!



Lace Dynamic Embossing folder 148530 $10.00  Gonna have to add this to my list!


All My Love designer paper  148576  $11.00

Crackle, Cackle Cock-a-Doodle DO!


I think many of us grew up with Children's Books and learning the sounds of all the Barnyard Animals.  My Grandparents had Chickens and I was afraid, very afraid!!  This Rooster brings back many memories, some fond.......some not so fond!  This Crackle Paint Background stamp really sets the mood of this card.


With the New CLING stamps I added the label to the stamp and placed the stamp in the stamp case.  No movement at all, inked up with Crumb Cake and placed the Crumb Cake card base on the surface.  Press into the ink and use your Bone Folder or another Block to smooth the paper over the stamp.  WA LA, a beautiful Background!  And the Simply Shammy makes clean up so easy!

My Bermuda Bay leftover from yesterday is the next layer.  I then cut 2 Squares, one in the Grapefruit Grove Foil and the other in Whisper White.  You can use Framelits or simply cut squares with your trimmer.


I embossed the Foil Square with the Hexagons embossing folder which reminds me of Chicken Wire.  The reflection off this paper once embossed is AMAZING!  All those angles bouncing off each other.

I stamped the Rooster in Momento Black ink and colored with Blends and Markers.....the second time!  The First Rooster ended up being a MASK as he was not too pretty! I used Bermuda Bay Blends, Grapefruit Grove, Poppy Parade and So Saffron Markers.  And of course gotta have that Wink of Stella for some Shine!



I then inked up the grass in Crumb Cake and stamped over the Mask.  Keep the Mask in your stamp case for future projects.
