I saw this card in the Occasions Mini Catalog and wanted to created one of own! For the butterfly I used So Saffron card stock with the Paper Doily Sizzlit and then cut it out with the Beautiful Butterflies die. Then I inked it with versa mark and poured Iridescent Ice embossing powder all over the butterfly. After I heat embossed the butterfly I adhered it to another So Saffron butterfly as a background. I love how it turned out!<br /><div><br /><div><a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-hTh5xBUT8zI/Txd9Z4sv5CI/AAAAAAAAEBc/4hBWZmZPJK8/s1600/125592L.jpg" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}"><img src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-hTh5xBUT8zI/Txd9Z4sv5CI/AAAAAAAAEBc/4hBWZmZPJK8/s200/125592L.jpg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5699161737130927138" style="float: left; margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 10px; margin-bottom: 10px; margin-left: 0px; cursor: pointer; width: 200px; height: 200px; " /></a><br /><a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-w5NTZEDCbGs/Txd9TeIPtaI/AAAAAAAAEBQ/L9U_tnM73Kw/s1600/IMG_8608.jpg" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}"></a><a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-w5NTZEDCbGs/Txd9TeIPtaI/AAAAAAAAEBQ/L9U_tnM73Kw/s1600/IMG_8608.jpg" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}"></a><div style="text-align: left; "><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:arial;font-size:85%;color:#6600cc;">Supplies:</span></div><div style="text-align: left; "><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: rgb(102, 0, 204); font-family:arial;font-size:small;">Ink: Versamark, Calpso Coral</span></div><div style="text-align: left; "><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:arial;font-size:85%;color:#6600cc;">Cardstock: </span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: rgb(102, 0, 204); font-family:arial;font-size:small;">Calpso Coral, Wild Wasabi, So Saffron,</span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:arial;font-size:85%;color:#6600cc;"> Wisteria Wonder, Perfect Plum</span></div><div style="text-align: left; "><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:arial;font-size:85%;color:#6600cc;">Paper Doily Sizzlit</span></div><div style="text-align: left; "><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:arial;font-size:85%;color:#6600cc;">3" Circle Sizzix Die</span></div><div style="text-align: left; "><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:arial;font-size:85%;color:#6600cc;">Beautiful Butterflies Sizzix Bigz Die</span></div><div style="text-align: left; "><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:arial;font-size:85%;color:#6600cc;">Iridescent Ice Embossing Powder</span></div><div style="text-align: left; "><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:arial;font-size:85%;color:#6600cc;">Basic Pearls</span></div><div style="text-align: left; "><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:arial;font-size:85%;color:#6600cc;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: left; "><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:arial;font-size:85%;color:#6600cc;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: left; "><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:arial;font-size:85%;color:#6600cc;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: left; "><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:arial;font-size:85%;color:#6600cc;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: left;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: rgb(102, 0, 204); "><a href="http://elainescreations.stampinup.net/">Click here to shop now!</a></span></div><div><br /></div><div><img src="http://i582.photobucket.com/albums/ss269/estampin/schadersiggy.png" /></div></div></div><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/8951261281947039055-5094301680353691331?l=elainescreations.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Elainehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14060000032372970376noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8951261281947039055.post-7822417425657000572012-01-18T18:02:00.001-08:002012-01-18T18:14:40.506-08:00<a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-b81jsKe7j5s/Txd6IdqTDlI/AAAAAAAAEBE/7xGg0h8MtRM/s1600/125535L.jpg" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}"></a><a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-7FfvUdypE6E/Txd6CCNYBiI/AAAAAAAAEA4/sCMzkz_hguY/s1600/IMG_8604.JPG" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 258px;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-7FfvUdypE6E/Txd6CCNYBiI/AAAAAAAAEA4/sCMzkz_hguY/s320/IMG_8604.JPG" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5699158028831950370" /></a><br /><div><div style="text-align: left;">Don't you love punches that perfectly coordinate with stamp sets!!

Then I made a mark in the middle (6") on each side and scored from the 2" mark to the 6" mark on the opposite side diagonally. I moved the card and then scored from the middle 6" mark to the opposite 2" mark diagonally. I reversed the card and did the same on the other side. Then I folded it up into a diamond in the middle.<br /><a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-bPENPgdo3sM/TvAAGSBHudI/AAAAAAAAD-o/Ut87xSUKBNs/s1600/I111780F.jpg" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}"><img src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-bPENPgdo3sM/TvAAGSBHudI/AAAAAAAAD-o/Ut87xSUKBNs/s200/I111780F.jpg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5688046437284690386" style="float: left; margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 10px; margin-bottom: 10px; margin-left: 0px; cursor: pointer; width: 200px; height: 200px; " /></a><br /><a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-XRb3wSrAfvM/Tu__8a2hd8I/AAAAAAAAD-c/RCS5CmF31Os/s1600/IMG_8302.JPG" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}"></a><a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-XRb3wSrAfvM/Tu__8a2hd8I/AAAAAAAAD-c/RCS5CmF31Os/s1600/IMG_8302.JPG" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}"></a><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:arial;font-size:85%;color:#6600cc;">Supplies:</span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:arial;font-size:85%;color:#6600cc;">Winter Post, Lovely as a Tree</span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:arial;font-size:85%;color:#6600cc;">Chocolate Chip, Crumb Cake, Cherry Cobbler ink</span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:arial;font-size:85%;color:#6600cc;">Cherry Cobbler, Very Vanilla, Chocolate Chip paper</span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: rgb(102, 0, 204); font-family:arial;font-size:85%;" >Square Scallop die</span></div><div><br /></div><div><br /></div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: rgb(102, 0, 204); "><a href="http://elainescreations.stampinup.net/">Click here to shop now!</a></span><div><br /></div><div><img src="http://i582.photobucket.com/albums/ss269/estampin/schadersiggy.png" /></div><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/8951261281947039055-1767801997338656867?l=elainescreations.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Elainehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14060000032372970376noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8951261281947039055.post-15017711578465822522011-12-19T07:00:00.000-08:002011-12-19T19:23:43.648-08:00<a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-NInQuSDnsc4/Tu0E4ag4gWI/AAAAAAAAD-Q/BAdiRb2aMe8/s1600/IMG_8293.JPG" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 202px;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-NInQuSDnsc4/Tu0E4ag4gWI/AAAAAAAAD-Q/BAdiRb2aMe8/s320/IMG_8293.JPG" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5687207271675232610" /></a><br /><div>I made these as gifts for one of my stamp club's members.

I added a drop of Dazzling Details in the middle of the poinsettia.<br /><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color:#0000ee;"><u><br /></u></span></div><a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-O98McQnGke0/Tr37hs-d_wI/AAAAAAAAD4s/9prQidgd4ZI/s1600/123764S.jpg" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}"><img src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-O98McQnGke0/Tr37hs-d_wI/AAAAAAAAD4s/9prQidgd4ZI/s320/123764S.jpg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5673967661984120578" style="float: left; margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 10px; margin-bottom: 10px; margin-left: 0px; cursor: pointer; width: 200px; height: 200px; " /></a><br /><a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-R8YpDAvobr0/Tr3jpvQizLI/AAAAAAAAD2w/momCcE3s5_Y/s1600/IMG_7312.JPG" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}"></a><a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-R8YpDAvobr0/Tr3jpvQizLI/AAAAAAAAD2w/momCcE3s5_Y/s1600/IMG_7312.JPG" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}"></a><div><b><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:arial;font-size:85%;color:#6600cc;">Supplies Used:</span></b></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:arial;font-size:85%;color:#6600cc;">Stamp Sets: Pines &amp; Poinsettias</span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:arial;font-size:85%;color:#6600cc;">Cardstock: Chocolate Chip, Very Vanilla, Real Red, Wil Wasabi</span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:arial;font-size:85%;color:#6600cc;">Ink: Chocolate Chip,</span></div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: rgb(102, 0, 204); font-family:arial;font-size:85%;">Punches: Boho Blossoms, Lace Ribbon Border</span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: rgb(102, 0, 204); font-family:arial;font-size:85%;">Ribbon: 1/8" Taffeta in Very Vanilla, and Real Red</span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: rgb(102, 0, 204); font-family:arial;font-size:85%;">Petite Pocket Bigz XL die</span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:arial;color:#6600cc;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:85%;">Other: Watercolor Wonder Crayons</span><br /></span><div><br /></div><div><br /></div><div><br /></div><div><br /></div><div><a href="http://elainescreations.stampinup.net/"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color:#6600cc;">Click here to shop now!</span></a></div><div><img src="http://i582.photobucket.com/albums/ss269/estampin/schadersiggy.png" /></div></div><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/8951261281947039055-3424492439327817162?l=elainescreations.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Elainehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14060000032372970376noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8951261281947039055.post-80821708882138288402011-11-16T07:00:00.000-08:002011-11-16T07:00:01.372-08:00<a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-ZpgKaioiddU/Tr37EoU0v_I/AAAAAAAAD4c/1yMJdO3mfl8/s1600/images-3.jpeg" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}"></a><a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-DyyAgNYXnDA/Tr3f1hPQjvI/AAAAAAAAD2M/w7SclM10LRM/s1600/IMG_7331.JPG" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 318px; height: 320px;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-DyyAgNYXnDA/Tr3f1hPQjvI/AAAAAAAAD2M/w7SclM10LRM/s320/IMG_7331.JPG" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5673937216105123570" /></a><span class="Apple-style-span" style="-webkit-text-decorations-in-effect: underline; ">I love the kraft boxes!!!

Here is the first one I'd like to share with you. I saw a lovely box in the Stampin' Success Magazine and decided to redesign it as a card. I used the Pines &amp; Poinsettias stamp set and the Decorative Label Punch. I trimmed out the Merry Christmas and the pinecones and raised them up on dimensionals. I used the Snow Burst embossing folder and used a sponge dauber to rub white craft ink all over the Cherry Cobbler card stock. I added a strip of the Holly Berry Bouquet Designer Series Paper and a Wild Wasabai scalloped with the scalloped edge punch. I wrapped some Cherry Cobbler quilted ribbon and added a Holly Berry Bouquet Designer Button.<br /><a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-j-CQduWl_MU/Tr3UGjU9VxI/AAAAAAAAD1Q/2CXz8WwpZ0E/s1600/123764S.jpg" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 200px; height: 200px;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-j-CQduWl_MU/Tr3UGjU9VxI/AAAAAAAAD1Q/2CXz8WwpZ0E/s320/123764S.jpg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5673924314584143634" /></a><br /><a href="http://elainescreations.stampinup.net/">Click here to shop now!</a><div><br /></div><div><img src="http://i582.photobucket.com/albums/ss269/estampin/schadersiggy.png" /></div></div><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/8951261281947039055-4128711763097902265?l=elainescreations.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Elainehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14060000032372970376noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8951261281947039055.post-63313470979869658392011-11-03T07:00:00.000-07:002011-11-03T07:00:12.631-07:00<a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-z9uKjg-bxMY/TodGBphG4PI/AAAAAAAADvg/ykbd2wu9lks/s1600/IMG_6563.JPG" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 239px; height: 320px;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-z9uKjg-bxMY/TodGBphG4PI/AAAAAAAADvg/ykbd2wu9lks/s320/IMG_6563.JPG" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5658568450952847602" /></a><br /><div>Here is an altered mini milk carton box that I made for Christmas!

I'm having lots of fun creating cute Christmas cards! I saw this fun color combination of Pool Party, Pear Pizzaz and Wisteria Wonder, and although it's not the typical Christmas color combination I think it actually works really well for Christmas! I used the new Snowburst embossing folder on each stocking. Then I embossed the Merry Christmas from the beautiful Hand Penned Holidays stamp set and added a little jingle bell the the middle stocking.</div><div><br /><a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-TgMcxUWfTJg/TrAYc7T_1XI/AAAAAAAAD0s/37a0pYJX9o0/s1600/123784S.jpg" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 200px; height: 200px;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-TgMcxUWfTJg/TrAYc7T_1XI/AAAAAAAAD0s/37a0pYJX9o0/s320/123784S.jpg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5670058816096425330" /></a><br /><a href="http://elainescreations.stampinup.net/">Click here to shop now!</a><div><br /></div><div><img src="http://i582.photobucket.com/albums/ss269/estampin/schadersiggy.png" /></div></div><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/8951261281947039055-1949547763853211190?l=elainescreations.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Elainehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14060000032372970376noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8951261281947039055.post-28623335816374512372011-10-28T07:00:00.000-07:002011-10-28T07:00:07.413-07:00<a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-MyL1lGoCCAM/TqjRW6zlHBI/AAAAAAAADzQ/_L3IMMCUkRc/s1600/IMG_7087.JPG" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 196px;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-MyL1lGoCCAM/TqjRW6zlHBI/AAAAAAAADzQ/_L3IMMCUkRc/s320/IMG_7087.JPG" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5668010322718694418" /></a><br /><div>Yet another use for the versatile Petal Cone die: Halloween bats!

They are quick and easy to make. Just start with a 4-1/4" x 5-1/4" sheet of card stock and stamp or wheel a design on the card stock. Use a bone folder to curl the card stock and adhere the edge to make a cylinder. Seal the bottom with sticky strip and use the paper crimper to crimp the ends. I used the Frightful Sight Designer Series Paper and Wicked Cool to embellish the container.<div><br /><a href="http://elainescreations.stampinup.net/">Click here to shop now!</a><div><br /></div><div><img src="http://i582.photobucket.com/albums/ss269/estampin/schadersiggy.png" /></div></div><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/8951261281947039055-1942025566504716248?l=elainescreations.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Elainehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14060000032372970376noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8951261281947039055.post-52732133573423244162011-10-04T07:00:00.000-07:002011-10-04T18:25:56.706-07:00<a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-_fB0hnjX--4/TouxzgbvqqI/AAAAAAAADvw/sD6rOz6_Sak/s1600/Oct2011_NAcust_B2G1free_B1.jpg" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 87px;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-_fB0hnjX--4/TouxzgbvqqI/AAAAAAAADvw/sD6rOz6_Sak/s320/Oct2011_NAcust_B2G1free_B1.jpg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5659812855158909602" /></a><br /><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style=" line-height: 19px; font-family:Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif;font-size:small;"><strong><span style=" ;font-size:11pt;">STAMPIN' UP!

I trimmed the two sides along the 2-1/2" and 3-1/2" score lines to the 1" score line on each side and folded the flaps together to create the sides. I trimmed to long side of the top note to create a felt side and then adhered one to the front and one to the back. I used a piece of 1/2" x 8-1/2" card stock for the handle. I used the Blossom Party Sizzix die and Fancy Flower punch to make the flower on the front. I sprayed them with water and crinkled them to add some texture to them.</div><div><br /><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color:#0000ee;"><u><br /></u></span></div><a href="http://elainescreations.stampinup.net/">Click here to shop now!</a><div><br /></div><div><img src="http://i582.photobucket.com/albums/ss269/estampin/schadersiggy.png" /></div></div><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/8951261281947039055-1597774400448693429?l=elainescreations.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Elainehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14060000032372970376noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8951261281947039055.post-19642756543914202262011-09-02T07:00:00.000-07:002011-09-26T16:05:27.821-07:00<a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-myjohWjGE00/Tl_3nf3jYKI/AAAAAAAADtw/yvufAQDPXNQ/s1600/IMG_6370.JPG" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 267px;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-myjohWjGE00/Tl_3nf3jYKI/AAAAAAAADtw/yvufAQDPXNQ/s320/IMG_6370.JPG" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5647504715687354530" /></a><br /><div>I wasn't too sure about the new Fancy Fan Letterpress in the new catalog until I saw this amazing <a href="http://www.splitcoaststampers.com/gallery/photo/2012417">card</a> by Nancy. Then I had to get it so I could make this card!! I used Wisteria Wonder, Concord Crush, Pool Party and Lucky Limeade with the Field Flowers and Petite Pairs stamp set. I popped up the flowers on dimensionals. To use the letterpress, I inked it up with white craft ink (craft ink works best) and ran it through the big shot with my card stock. It was so easy and came out so beautifully!

I used the Mini Milk Carton die to create a six-sided box. I used the Creative Elements stamp set to decorate the box and make the tag and coordinating card. To make the ribbon flower I did a running stitch along one side of the ribbon and pulled the string tight and added a faux button on top. To create the faux button I used the Sweet Buttons embosslit to cut out 4 of the same button and then just glued them together. I used the decorative label punch, eyelet border punch and beautiful butterflies embosslit to create the coordinating card.<br /><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color:#0000ee;"><u><br /></u></span></div><a href="http://elainescreations.stampinup.net/">Click here to shop now!</a><div><br /></div><div><img src="http://i582.photobucket.com/albums/ss269/estampin/schadersiggy.png" /></div><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/8951261281947039055-595656353677339139?l=elainescreations.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Elainehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14060000032372970376noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8951261281947039055.post-52323299512266445132011-08-24T07:00:00.000-07:002011-09-26T16:06:05.131-07:00<a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-beYFmI45cN0/TlVR_kfUaHI/AAAAAAAADtQ/Hetx_KlAFqY/s1600/IMG_6375.jpg" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 243px; height: 320px;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-beYFmI45cN0/TlVR_kfUaHI/AAAAAAAADtQ/Hetx_KlAFqY/s320/IMG_6375.jpg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5644507860547430514" /></a><br /><div>I saw this card that was on one of the display boards at convention on a blog and fell in love with it!

Thank you to my friend Kathleen for introducing them to me! I used my favorite new die, the petal cone die to create them. I cut the bottoms off to create a 1-1/2" base and then added embossed frosting. I scalloped the edge of a 2" x 3" piece of Designer Series Paper and ran it through the crimper to create the bottom wrapper. I used the small heart and 4 petal flower punch to create the strawberry. Almost looks good enough to eat!<div><br /><a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-PL5Ym3hrv2k/TgJkE30sb0I/AAAAAAAADpw/WRlgNs0qYe4/s1600/IMG_5609.jpg" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 270px;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-PL5Ym3hrv2k/TgJkE30sb0I/AAAAAAAADpw/WRlgNs0qYe4/s320/IMG_5609.jpg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5621165319779020610" /></a><br /><a href="http://elainescreations.stampinup.net/">Click here to shop now!</a><div><br /></div><div><a href="http://elainescreations.stampinup.net/"></a><img src="http://i582.photobucket.com/albums/ss269/estampin/schadersiggy.png" /></div></div><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/8951261281947039055-4512692252851725222?l=elainescreations.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Elainehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14060000032372970376noreply@blogger.com3tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8951261281947039055.post-78291090180502819352011-06-24T07:00:00.000-07:002011-09-26T16:09:34.357-07:00<a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-TIf4Pk3-BNE/TgJijg1w-FI/AAAAAAAADpo/lUUs-x6_uQU/s1600/IMG_5605.jpg" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 214px;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-TIf4Pk3-BNE/TgJijg1w-FI/AAAAAAAADpo/lUUs-x6_uQU/s320/IMG_5605.jpg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5621163647162185810" /></a>Here is another project we made at my Last Chance Stamp Party using the retiring Tart &amp; Tangy stamp set.

I added a strip of the new Beyond the Garden designer series paper and some white satin ribbon tied with some linen thread.<br /><a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-3Zde_wVWIDs/Td59vY0JYhI/AAAAAAAADoM/-j10k6gVEL8/s1600/123027L.jpg" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 320px;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-3Zde_wVWIDs/Td59vY0JYhI/AAAAAAAADoM/-j10k6gVEL8/s320/123027L.jpg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5611060438818710034" /></a><br /><a href="http://elainescreations.stampinup.net/">Click here to shop now!</a><div><br /></div><div><a href="http://elainescreations.stampinup.net/"></a><img src="http://i582.photobucket.com/albums/ss269/estampin/schadersiggy.png" /></div><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/8951261281947039055-5539657882563371437?l=elainescreations.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Elainehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14060000032372970376noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8951261281947039055.post-60466392119525561282011-05-26T09:04:00.000-07:002011-09-26T16:10:25.229-07:00<a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-3DgRI_xnKNw/Td57k1br1WI/AAAAAAAADoE/NLY7Nv8r-00/s1600/IMG_4672.jpg" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 242px; height: 320px;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-3DgRI_xnKNw/Td57k1br1WI/AAAAAAAADoE/NLY7Nv8r-00/s320/IMG_4672.jpg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5611058058498921826" /></a>Ready to try some double embossing?

I added some of the Ice Cream Parlor ribbon around the flaps and a sentiment from the Great Friends stamp set.</div><div><br /></div><div>Only 9 days left to Sale-a-brate!</div><div><br /><a href="http://elainescreations.stampinup.net/">Click here to shop now!</a><div><br /></div><div><a href="http://elainescreations.stampinup.net/"></a><img src="http://i582.photobucket.com/albums/ss269/estampin/schadersiggy.png" /></div></div><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/8951261281947039055-172025150637502082?l=elainescreations.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Elainehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14060000032372970376noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8951261281947039055.post-79277347997425486322011-03-17T07:00:00.000-07:002011-03-17T07:00:06.739-07:00<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-RpogTMdjb3M/TYDiWpu7jZI/AAAAAAAADgk/qckuQvrCoIA/s1600/IMG_3363.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 288px;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-RpogTMdjb3M/TYDiWpu7jZI/AAAAAAAADgk/qckuQvrCoIA/s320/IMG_3363.JPG" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5584712416727109010" /></a><br /><div>This is a take out box made with the petal cone die!

We are so excited to have another little one join our family! Here are some of the items I made for the shower. The first is a Baby Boy Pennant using Stampin' Up!'s Pennant die. I cute out the large pennant in baja breeze and then added a very vanilla designer series paper with dots on top. I added a scallop circle ball made with 4 scallop circles from the Pennant die and added a picture of Kanga and Roo on the front of each scallop circle ball.</div><div><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-_WUiWzLwXjY/TVsMK6pwxdI/AAAAAAAADa0/6zI-w2xbrbs/s1600/IMG_2650.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 229px;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-_WUiWzLwXjY/TVsMK6pwxdI/AAAAAAAADa0/6zI-w2xbrbs/s320/IMG_2650.jpg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5574062345483765202" /></a><br /></div><div>The next item I made is a baby book for attendees to write a little note to my sister-in-law and her baby wishing them well!

I wasn't sure how many people were coming so I made fifty! Thanks to my stamping group for helping me assemble all of them! I used the Scallop Squares Duo Sizzix die from the Holiday Mini catalog that is still available to order. I layered a piece of baja breeze embossed with the perfect polka dots embossing folder next. Then I added a picture of Kanga and Roo layered on a baja breeze circle and a very vanilla scallop circle.<br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-KOnI9eEDHHE/TVsMKKFOubI/AAAAAAAADak/fUL7A2v73Y8/s1600/IMG_2803.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 278px;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-KOnI9eEDHHE/TVsMKKFOubI/AAAAAAAADak/fUL7A2v73Y8/s320/IMG_2803.jpg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5574062332445637042" /></a><br /></div><div>Here is an individual picture of the front.</div><div><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-Cjdt9LCfkm8/TVsMJyTlvwI/AAAAAAAADac/JXp-7eUF_3s/s1600/IMG_2802.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 262px;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-Cjdt9LCfkm8/TVsMJyTlvwI/AAAAAAAADac/JXp-7eUF_3s/s320/IMG_2802.jpg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5574062326063415042" /></a><br /></div><div>For the treat we placed four white chocolate in a cello bag and adhered it to the scallop square.</div><div><br /></div><div>Have a baby shower or other event coming up?
