Here is a cute Fancy Favor Box!!

HI!
This box makes me think of spring!  And I'm ready for spring!  Yesterdays warm temps were so welcome & such a teaser.

I did not make this box, as it was one of the many cute things on display in our hospitality room on the SU! Alaskan cruise in May.  I love it though & wanted to share it with you.

SUCH A SWEET TREAT!!!

HI!
A busy week here!  Hope I get half done that I need to get done.  I have several more workshops yet this week....so looking forward to seeing & sharing my love of stamping with many of you this week!
There are also warmer temps in store for us!!  The snow all melted yesterday, so it is gone again!!  So I'm happy about that!!  Maybe spring is around the corner after all.

I wanted to share this card...

Wish I could say that I made this it, but I didn't. 

This card was posted on a board in our hospitality room on the SU! Alaskan cruise in May. 
Looks sweet enough to eat doesn't it!  

Wouldn't this be a great card to make & send to a special person in your life!

'Sweets for the Sweet'

cs:  Blushing Bride, Pool Party, Very Vanilla

Subtles Collection Designer paper stack

ink:  Rose Red

supplies:  hemp, 1" circle punch, Curly Label punch, Dotted Scallop Ribbon Border punch, glue dot, dimensionals

Note:  Had I been the creator of this card- you know me- I would have added GLITTER to it! 
Don't you think that some dazzling diamonds glitter on the candy would be cute!

This is the stamp set that I helped Betty design an invitation for HLV's prom.  It turned out cute too!  

ENJOY!!

Happy Stamping!

Another 'Triple Treat Flower' card!!

WOW!!  I had a fabulous day stamping yesterday with Deb & our friends!!
Some gals joined us that we hadn't seen for almost a year!
It was great to all be together- despite the darn snow!
I hope everyone made it home safely.  I drove slow, so it took me quite awhile.
The new blanket of snow yesterday was beautiful, but not in March!
I'm so ready for Spring!  Warmer temps are in site for us this week thankfully!

Speaking of Spring....doesn't this card make you think more of Spring & flowers!!  

This beautiful card is one that we did at my workshop yesterday.
I have been wanting to use the Lattice die & just haven't found the right layout/stamp set to go with it.  
I think that this one worked out great & I really like it!!
The colors are of course some of my favorites!
How can you go wrong with anything that is brown?
And I like the look of the tone on tone with the lattice!!

'Triple Treat Flower' & 'Tiny Tag's

cs: Chocolate Chip, Pretty in Pink & Whisper White

ink: Chocolate Chip & Pretty in Pink

supplies:  Big Shot, Perfect Polka Dots embossing folder, Lattice die, 2 1/2 " circle punch, 1/2 " circle punch, Fancy Flower punch, 5-Petal Flower punch, Jewelry Tag punch, 5/16" Neutrals Brads assortment (Chocolate), Chocolate Chip Scallop Dots ribbon, dimensionals, glue dots, 2 way glue pen

Note:  The bow is a "faux bow".  I attached a piece of 4 1/2" ribbon to each side of the card with glue dots onto the back side of the card/cardstock.  Then I tied another piece of ribbon (4" long) to the middle of that & secured with a glue dot behind the knot.  This takes less ribbon & makes the card not so bulky.

I again used the Champagne Shimmer spray/rubbing alcohol mix on the finished card.
Can you see the sparkle?  

ENJOY!!
Have a wonderful week!!!
Stop back by again soon for some more inspiration!

Happy Stamping!

I love this Triple Treat Flower stamp!

HI!

I have a workshop in Iowa City today & Deb is the hostess!  I still have my last card to cut & packing up to do before I head out the door.  I think everyone will like my 6 cards, they turned out cute!  I can't wait to share!  I will post them sometime in the next week- so be sure to check back to see them.


Today I want to share this card with you that I did at a workshop quiet some time ago.  It is still a favorite of mine.

I love this stamp set.  So simple, so versatile!  AND best of all it goes with punches so you don't have to cut anything out!!  WAHOO!!

This stamp is an A la Carte stamp (single stamp) that is in the main catalog, but you can get it for FREE during Sale-a-bration with qualifying orders.

It has coordinating punches that go with it.  The Fancy Flower punch & 5- Petal Flower punch!!

This card is a door fold card- which means that it folds towards the center & opens up like a door.
