Sweet Things with Friends Ink

Today we held our quarterly Friends Ink Stamp & Share. We talked about the Occasions Catalog and Sale-a-Bration promotions, the upcoming OnStage Events, and had a fun stamping challenge.

Our projects used the How Sweet It Is Suite so I made sweet treats for all who attended. I have been saving my empty spice jars for years and have stockpiled quite a few. I knew I would find the perfect use for them some day :)

I also had one of our new Sweet Cups decorated as a sample. These food safe cups are 2-1/8" high and have 3-1/2" top diameter and 2-3/4" bottom diameter. Aren't they the cutest?

Once the stamping got started there was some serious concentration. Usually, I plan a Make & Take and we all assemble the same project. This time, I shook things up. Each demonstrator was given a card base, 1/2 sheet of Whisper White cardstock, and two 6"x6" pieces of the How Sweet It Is Designer Series Paper. Using the Sweetest Thing Stamp Set, Jar of Sweets Framelits Dies, Ink Pads, Ribbons, and Embellishments on the table they each created a card.

Here is a shaker card that I cased from the catalog for inspiration.

We had SO much fun! I would love to have you join us at future events. We will be traveling to Vancouver, BC for the OnStage Local Event being held on April 13, 2019.

You Make Me Happy

I have another card for you today using the Rectangle Stitched Framelits Dies and they go so nicely with the Be Mine Stitched Framelits Dies & Meant to Be Stamp Set.

The colors on this piece of All My Love Designer Series Paper are Crumb Cake, Sea Foam, & Lovely Lipstick.

So pretty together!

The stitched part of the heart and the inner heart cut with one single die making this card #simplestamping. The inner heart is adhered with Stampin' Dimensionals to give it a POP! I love the ribbon knot as an alternative to a bow. Simply tie a knot in your length of ribbon and adhere the two loose end around the back of your card panel. Easy peasy!
