Love You Much Top Note Die Candy Box

It was so much fun to make this candy box. I learned how to make it from Lyn Put's instructions that she had found on Splitcoast from KarenG. I didn't have light weight card board, so I cut up a cereal box to use instead. I used a glue stick to glue a piece of copy paper to the side of the cereal box. On the other side of the cereal box, I put Chocolate Chip card stock. Then I sandwiched all into my Sizzix Big Shot. I then ran the Candy Cane DSP through the Big Shot using the Top Note Die again. I trimmed the edge and glued it to the Chocolate Chip Top Note. I decorated the top using the Heart to Heat Punch, Trio Flower Punch, Crop-a-dile, Mini Glue Dots, Riding Hood Red Taffeta Ribbon.

Love You Much Valentine

This is my latest creation made with the Love You Much Bundle. I used the In-Colors Pink Pirouette and Riding Hood Red. The DSP is called Candy Cane which is also in the Bundle. I stamped the LOVE image with Black Stazon and colored it in with a Blender Pen and the Riding Hood Red ink pad. I used the Heart to Heart punch that came with the Bundle to punch out the hearts after I stamp them on Riding Hood Red cardstock. I also used the Scallop Circle Punch and used a 1/8" hand-held punch to punch out the holes. I used the Scallop Edge Punch on the Candy Cane DSP. I used dimensionals to attach two of the hearts. I used the 1" Circle Punch on the Hugs and Kisses and attached to the center of the Scallop Circle.

Holiday Lineup

These were gifts that I made for a couple of co-workers at my school. I, of course, drank the Frappuccino first, then cleaned the jars and lids out. I added homemade carmels, and store-bought candy to fill the jars. I measured the length and width of the cardboard container and used Sticky Strip to attach the cardstock.

Snow Swirled Embossed

This is my version of a card stamped by Carol Payne. The tree is stamped in Creamy Caramel and the snowflakes are stamped with Real Red. Then I stamped the tree in Versamark and to align it with the first tree, I used my Stamp-a-ma-jig. Next, I sprinkled the image with Heat and Stick powder. I heated the Heat and Stick with my heat tool until it melted and sprinkled it with Dazzling Diamonds. I punched each Whisper White corner with the Ticket Corner Punch. I stamped "Season's Greetings" with Real Red ink and tied 1/2" Striped Real Red Grosgrain Ribbon to my card.

Snow Swirled

This card was made with the stamp set "Snow Swirled" and uses the In-color Pacific Point. I also used Bashful Blue and Whisper White. The Whisper White was cut at 2 3/4" x 2 3/4" and I centered the Scallop Edge Punch on each side of the four sides to create a scalloped edge in the center of the square. I used the Stamp-a-ma-jig to align the snowflake in the middle of the square and embossed it with Iridescent Ice EP. I attached to the front of the card with dimensionals.

My Frankie

I've seen several Frankie cards and decided to make one of my own using lots of ideas from others. My Frankie uses the Kiwi Kiss (In-Color) cardstock cut at 3 1/4" x 11" and scored at 5 1/2". Using the Round Tab Punch, you will need to cut out three (3) using Basic Black cardstock to use for his hair, punch one (1)for his nose using Kiwi Kiss, and punch one (1) for the bolts in his neck using Lovely Lilac (cut it in half and attach with Black eyelets. Use the 1 1/4" Circle Punch to cut out two (2) eyes from Whisper White and (1) from Kiwi Kiss for his eyelids (which you will cut half). Use a dauber and ink it up with Kiwi Kiss to ink up the edges of his nose and eyelids. Use a 3/4" Circle Punch to make two (2) Basic Black circles for his eyes and highlight with a Gel Pen. Use Dimensionals on the back of his eyes. Draw on a scar with a Black Marker.

Happiness Butterfly

I made this card for my friend/co-worker's birthday this week using the Hostess set Happiness Always. I used the new In-Color Pacific Point cardstock as well as using Night of Navy cardstock. I thought the color combination went well together and of course, blue is my favorite color. Anyway, she loved her birthday card and blue is her favorite color too.
