Perfectly Preserved Pair Nugget Jar

This is a project I worked on this afternoon after finding a video of Kay Kalthoff's on how to make them.  It was really fun to make, but it did take me a long time.  Of course, the first time you make something new it always does take longer with the first one.  This is a little box that holds 4 Hershey nuggets wrapped in 1" x 3" Orchard Harvest DSP.  I stamped the jar from the Perfectly Preserved stamp set on Very Vanilla cardstock twice for the front and the back of the box,  and punched out an oval to show the nuggets on both sides.  I used Lucky Limeade for the pear and Early Espresso for the stem of the pair. The accessories are the Cannery Set Framelit Die and Bitty Banner Framelit Die, 1/8" Early Espresso Taffeta Ribbon, Big Shot, Large Oval Punch, and Glue Dots.

Triple Time Leaves

This is a birthday card I made for my downline's birthday.  It was my first attempt at making a triple-time card and it was a lot of fun.  It does take a lot of card stock.  I made another one for Halloween for a swap this month, but I will post it later once everyone has received their card from me.

Googly Ghoul Witch

This is another Googly Ghoul candy holder for Halloween which also shows the inside.  I made belly bands to hold it together.

Googly Ghouls Candy Holders

Artwork Copyright Stampin' Up! 2012

These little goblins are the cutest thing in the Holiday Catalog.  The stamp set is called Googly Ghouls and comes with six stamps including a  witch, spider, bat and a Boooo.  The Holiday Catalog also offers a Ghoulish Googlies Designer Kit that comes with 20 printed double-sided tags (which is what I used to layer Frankie on). It also comes with 10 Glassine bags, 50 googlie eyes and Pumpkin Pie/Whisper White Baker's Twine.  It is so awesome!  I'll be making some more samples with this set and the Designer Kit and I'll post them to my blog soon.  What a fun set!

Ginger Bread Boy Spinner

 

This my latest swap card and I couldn't wait to make this little guy into a spinner card.  We were to use the embossng folder and a Framelit.  I made two versions because the little guy kept catching on the embossed folder.  I added the Cherry Cobbler 1/2" Scallop Dots Ribbon but it needs to be high enough that he doesn't catch on it too.  The stamp set is from the new Scentsational Season stamp set and the Holiday Collection Framelits, but I also used Got Treats stamp set for the verse "Got Merry?"  I also used Be of Good Cheer DSP. The colors are Very Vanilla, Cherry Cobbler and Soft Suede.  I used the Word Window Punch and the Modern Label Punch.  The Embossing Folder is called Houndstooth.  Some of the accessories I used were double-sided tape, two pennies.  I also used Dimensionals and Pearl Basic Jewels.

Blooming with Kindness

This is another card I made using the stamp set Blooming with Kindness.

I also used the stamp set Curly Cute for the Happy Birthday verse.  The colors are Very Vanilla, and In-colors Midnight Muse and Raspberry Ripple.  The DSP is called Comfort Cafe and the ribbon is 3/8" Stitched Satin Ribbon Midnight Muse.  I also used the Embossing Folder called Fancy Fan Folder.

Field Flowers and Papillon Potpourri

As promised, here is a card I made for a swap in July. I was inspired by the sample in the catalog on page 181.  However, I changed the colors to Pool Party and Midnight Muse.  The stems and leaves are with Always Artichoke.  I also added the Scallop Ribbon Border instead of the Seam Binding ribbon.  The stamp set is called Field Flowers, but I also added the butterfly from the stamp set "Papillon Potpourri" and stamped it on Pool Party card stock with Midnight Muse ink and then added Rhinestone Basic Jewels.  I added the new Large Scallop Edgelit and Finishing Touches Edgelits on the right side of my card as well as using the Apothecary Accent Framelit and the Paper Piercing Tool and Essentials Paper Piercing Pack template.
