Sweet Treat Slider Card!!

I am in love with these Treat Cups. You can get these in the circle cups or in the heart cups. Stampin' Up! has some great stamp sets that coordinates with these cups. Check them out on pages 58 and 59 in the Idea Book & Catalogue. These cups can be found on page 170 of the same catalogue.

These cups are great for birthday cards and invitations as well as baby cards and much more.

I hope you like this card as much as I do!! First I'd like to thank Heather Summers (my 2nd upline) for the idea on this card. This is a case to one of her cards, I just changed it up some.

Here it is!

Another great thing about this card is that your children don't need to rip it apart to get their treats. When you pull the top ribbon up, you reveal a punched hole so the children can take their treats out easily and refill them too. Isn't that just GREAT!!!

Supplies Used:
Stamp Set: Something Sweet 117688W & 118589C
Card Stock: Chocolate Chip -5 1/2 x 8 1/2 scored at 4 1/4; Marina Mist -4 x 4 3/4 & Modern Label; Bashful Blue -3 x 4 1/2 & 2 x 4 3/4; Whisper White -scraps for stampin' and punching

You're Invited

This is a simple invitation that I made. What I love about this is that you can turn it into any kind of invitation such as a birthday invite, baby invite and so on. With a change of colour, this invite is easy to make several of.

Supplies Used:
Stamp Set: Inviting 119153W & 120630C
Card Stock: Real Red -5 1/2 x 4 1/4; Whisper White -5 1/4 x 4
Ink: Classic Stampin' Pad -Real Red 103133; Stazon Jet Black Ink Pad 101406
Other Supplies: Jumbo Eyelet Antique 108431; 1/8" Taffeta Ribbon Real Red 119251; Crop-a-dile 108362; Stamp-a-ma-jig 101049

TOOL TIP:
Are you wondering what a Stamp-a-ma-jig is?

The Stamp-a-ma-jig is a stamp positioner that allows you to have precise stamp alignment every time you stamp. So when you are stamping your sentiments and want to make sure it's straight, get out your Stamp-a-ma-jig!!

Have a great day Stampin' Readers!!

Colour Challenge #7

Wow, it's been a full week since I posted last. Sorry about that. This past week has been full of exciting news and also lots of work.
I am taking part of a trade show on March 26th in Straffordville, Ontario. This show is for the Princess Project. The Princess Project is an organization for young women who can not afford to buy a dress for events such as prom or graduation.
I am also taking part of a yard sale on April 2nd in Leamington, Ontario. This sale is to help raise money for the Leamington MOPS program.
If you are in one of the two areas please come out to support both organizations. I will be selling cards and 3D items at both events. As well as take orders for Stampin' Up! products as well as for special cards that you would like to give away to that special someone.
Another exciting news, my cousin from the Leamington area has signed up to be a demonstrator. You can find her blog at http://scrappingemz.blogspot.com/. I would like to congratulate Justi and wish her all the best. Please check her blog for all the creations she makes.

As the title says, I have a my colour challenge #7 for you. The colours are Poppy Parade, Pear Pizzazz, and So Saffron. The first 2 colours are a part of this years (July 2010-June 2011) In Colours. Every year, Stampin' Up! comes out with 5 new colours to spice up the year with exciting colours. Starting in July 2011, you will see 5 new In Colours, but what is exciting is that this years In Colours stay for 1 more year. So, each year we get to play with the In Colours for 2 years. Isn't that exciting?!

So here is my card. I made this card for a friend of mine. Her birthday was this past week. This stamp set is my favourite Sale-A-Bration set. Unfortunately Sale-A-Bration is almost done -March 31 is the last day to get any of the Sale-A-Bration items. How do you get them, spend $60 before shipping and taxes and get 1 free item from the Sale-A-Bration catalogue. And there are a lot of items to choose from including a long list on the last page of items from the current Idea Book & Catalogue.

Supplies Used:
Stamp Sets: Bliss (Sale-A-Bration) 121851W & 123217C; Curly Cute 117014W & 120510C
Card Stock: So Saffron -size 4 1/4 x 11 scored at 5 1/2; Pear Pizzazz -size 4 x 5 1/4; Sunny Garden DSP -size 3 3/4 x 5; Whisper White -size 2 1/2 x 4 & 3/4 x 3 3/8
Ink: Classic Stampin' Pad -So Saffron 105213, Pear Pizzazz 119784
Other Supplies: Spingtime Vintage Button 122301; Antique Brad 117273; Linen Thread 104199; Glue Dots 103683; 3/16" Corner Small Punch 119871

Technique: I stamped the main image in So Saffron then I smashed it on Pear Pizzazz to give it a soft and exciting look. I hope the picture is clear enough for you to see.
Try it: Take an image, ink it up in a little colour then smash it on a darker colour. Then stamp that image on your card stock. Remember to never do this technique in reverse, meaning don`t ink it up in the darker colour then smash in the littler colour. It won`t work.

I hope your weekend is going well!!!
