Fun at Summer Splash Stamping Event

Saturday was my Summer Splash Stamp Event with three of my team members.  We stamped ten cards, have four demonstrations, a salad bar for lunch and an ice cream bar for dessert.  It was a bit warm but everyone pushed through the heat and had a blast together.

We had a goodie bag for everyone and we put these fun popsicle treat holders inside — of course we put chocolate inside the boxes, what else would you put in them.

Here’s a close up picture of the popsicle boxes.  They were easy to make — I saw the idea on Facebook by another demonstrator.

Measurements:
Box Base – 4″ x 4 1/2″ — score 1″ on all 4 sides — cut on the score lines as shown
Box Cover – 2 1/2″ x 7 1/4″ — score at 1 1/16″, 3 1/8″, 4 3/16″, 6 1/4″

Fold on all score lines.  Box Base — put adhesive on 1″ tabs, fold up and attach to create box.
I found short popsicle sticks at Michaels — I put a 1/2″ piece Tear & Tape on one end and attach to bottom side of box.
I used the Artisan Textures stamp set to stamp “ice” on the box cover.  Wrap cover around box and adhere 1 1/16″ edge over 1″ end.  Now your box will slide out of the cover.

Stylish Christmas in July

It’s time for a little Christmas in July.  I wanted to share the Under the Mistletoe Designer Paper and the Stylish Christmas stamp set coordinated well with the designer paper.  I love Christmas plaids – red, green and black, they are so pretty and this one is my favorite in the package of papers.

The poinsettia in the stamp set is one of the “distinctive” stamps — it shows the shading very well just by inking up the stamp.  I added the new Red Rhinestones to the center of the flower.  I used a Black Marker and drew the squiggle lines to help finish off the card.  I added a banner with Season’s Greetings.

Masculine Happy Birthday with Best Route Designer Paper

I have a little more designer paper temptation for you today.  Have you looked at the Best Route designer paper shown on pages 52 & 53.  I just love this color combination, it is so bright and cheery and works great for masculine cards.  Today I paired the paper with the Lilypad Lake Stamp Set – the sail boats are wonderful.  I made it into a fun fold card – the boats layer is attached to an arm so the card opens once to the right and then the left flap opens (I love this fold).
