Welcome to Stop no. 14 on the Stampin Addicts Summer Mini Catalog Blog Hop – you just arrived here from Twila’s fabulous blog and now that you’re here, I am going to show you some fun things that I made using the set Bouquet Bunch that you can find on pg 21 of the mini – it is a super cute set featuring flowers, leaves, a vase, a pot and some adorable critters – and an absolute bargain at just $13.95…read on for my projects plus info about my scrummy Blog Candy…
If you know me, you know that I LOVE versatility…soooo it got me to thinking about what to make that’s a little bit different…we have teacher appreciation week coming up and one of my girl’s teachers just loves chocolate so I came up with a little something to give to her on Monday…I hope you enjoy it Ms Phillips…
I took 3 Hershey bars and stacked them, then stuck them together using a little Snail adhesive – I cut a piece of paper from the gorgeous Island Oasis pack that you can find on pg 27 of the Summer Mini and wrapped it around the bars to form a wrapper and then used stamps from Bouquet Bunch to make my tag – I also used Punches, buttons, beads and linen thread to decorate…what a yummy treat…I hope she enjoys it…
Now I found myself looking at these stamps trying to work out a way to use them outside the box…hmmmm…I turned the little vase stamp horizontally and BING – a lightbulb went off – it looks like a fish! I ran it past my 7 year old and she confirmed it instantly when she said ‘that’s a fish mommy’ and thus this card was born…
Aren’t they cute? I simply stamped the vase onto some Designer Series papers and cut them out – I added eyes that I made using small circle punches and voila – there you have CUTE little fishy’s swimming around a hook…this card also uses paper from the gorgeous new Island Oasis pack which is sooo summery…I just can’t stop using it! On Monday I will have lots more info and close-up photos and the how-to to make this super cute card…
Well, we have Mother’s Day coming up and what a great use for this flower themed stamp set – order it on the 1st and it will be here in time for your Mothers Day projects. This is a Mothers Day card that I came up with using the beautiful flowers and stems stamps from this set…
I used my Stamp-a-majig to ensure perfect alignment of my flowers and stems and colored them in – like the label? I took my Modern Label Punch and then punched out the center using my Word Window Punch to create a frame that I mounted on Dimensionals – its a cool effect…and I just LOVE how Rich Razzleberry and Old Olive work together…absolutely beautiful…on Monday I will have a close up photo of this neat little tag so can see how fab it looks…
Well, as I was on a creative roll I decided to make a side item to co-ordinate with the card…this is a Simply Adorned box containing a necklace and large charm that I am sending to my wonderful Mother in Law and I wanted to show you how easy it is to package up a little unassuming gift like this to make it look a bit special…
I created a wrapper again using Island Oasis DSP (can you tell I love it?!) and tied around a piece of Rich Razzleberry ribbon – I took a 5/8″ square charm and put a stamped image* into the charm and tied it onto the ribbon using a piece of Linen Thread – I love to use those cute charms in this way – not only do they make a gift look really special, but the recipient can use them with the chain that you put in the box…
And that leads me onto my Blog Candy…leave me a comment to let me know which project you like the most and you will be entered into a drawing to win a Simply Adorned Bracelet and a Simply Adorned Charm – and be sure to come back on Monday to find out who the winner is along with lots more details and photos of my items…
I hope you enjoyed your visit – you are now leaving to visit the magical creations that Kim has come up with at Stitchin’ and Stampin’ by clicking HERE – and don’t forget to come back on Monday!
* The heart stamp is actually from the set Tiny Tags that you can find in the Occasions Mini Catalog on pg 28 – these stamps are the PERFECT size to use in the little charms and make it SO easy to put together a charm gift in minutes…
I love the fish card the most. SO creative! How’d you make the hook?
Very nice projects all around.
They are all very cute but the fishy card is my favorite. How clever! Thanks for sharing.
Love the fish card! Love your creativity, Sarah!
Sarah, they are all adorable. However, your fish made out of the small vase are very cute and so creative. Your rock!
Love the fish bowl! How cool is that??!!
