Another Wedding Surprise for Tina!

I also made a little candy box for Tina using the idea from our UPLINE Meeting with Patty Bennett last month.  Cindee Wilkinson (Just Sponge It) showed us how to do this altered matchbox and candy favor.

The little candies are stamped with the new It's a Wrap Occasions Stamp Set and go around a little candy bar without actually gluing to the candy wrapper. I put the glue on the inside and wrap the other end so they are lose from the actual candy bar (we learned at our meeting that Hershey's has a rule against gluing directly over their trademark).  I used the new Stripes Embossing Folder for the lid and the label that punches out with the Matchbox.  Again, used Tina and John's colors of Black/White and Rust (aka Cajun Craze in my stamp room!).
I embossed around the label with some Whisper White Ink.

BFF Tina's Wedding Surprise!

I made a cute little photo album for my friend Tina, she's getting married Oct.9th ~ congrats Tina!

Her colors they chose for the wedding are Black/White and Rust ~ so ~ Cajun Craze fit the bill perfectly!
I got the tutorial from DOstamping with Dawn, isn't it awesome?  She gives  you step-by-step instructions.  Thanks Dawn!

Easter Blossoms Girl

Here's a card I saw on Lianne Carper's site Card Scraps, this is my version.  Hope you like it?

Won't be long and the Easter Bunny will be hoppin' down the bunny trail!  I used Springtime Vintage DSP, Soft Suede Ink, Jewelry Tag Medium Punch, Basic Pearls, Satin Ribbon, Antique Brad.  Also the Framed Tulips Embossing Folder, Baja Breeze CS, Old Olive CS and Very Vanilla CS. 

Happy Stampin' ~ Julia

Elements of Style Purse

I finally am getting the little purse posted that goes with the card I made. Hope you like it, the instructions can be found at Card Scraps. I used the same stamp set as for the card and Square Lattice Embossing Folder. I sprayed with the Vanilla Smooch Spray and added the little White Statin Ribbon run through a piece of Hodgebodge Hardware. Check out Lianne's link for all the instructions. Thanks for posting such great tutorials Lianne.

Have fun and keep stampin' Hugs, Julia

Little Nugget Box

I went to my Sister Judy's today and she had made a little nugget box she found on Inking Idaho's site. I came home and found the directions and got one made. It has little 3x3 cards in it and 3 little nugget chocolates wrapped in DSP. There is a clear cover over the box to protect the contents and it's tied with gold elastic cord and a satin ribbon attached. Check out her site, she gives great instructions. Thanks for sharing Becky. :o)

Christmas Gift Card

I saw this on StampingSchool.com this week. Linda does a great job. I used Christmas Cocoa DSP, the Christmas Ornament Punch along with the Curly Label Sizzix die using the Christmas Ornament Insert. Soft Suede CS layered with the Real Red CS punched and 5 of the Christmas Punch glued together to go inside the cut-out. There is a white card mounted to the back of the Soft Suede CS stamped with the Christmas Punch Stamp Ornament in Soft Suede. Tied a bow with the White Tafetta Ribbon.
