Here is my project:

I know it's not a card, but I thought you all might like!

You see that little tiny stamp set name with 2012 on it?

Well I simply cut off the 2012 and thats what I used!

This is a little fine silver heart charm that I made from PMC (precious metal clay) I molded it, then I cut it and stamped it with the Love Remains stamp from the set. I scuffed it up some and then fired it. After firing I scrubbed, buffed, polished and then I dipped it in liver of sulpher (can you say stinky!) and then I polished it one last time and punched a hole, added a jumpring and through the chain it went! Super cute right?! It can be found here in my etsy shop!

I love how it turned out!

Now hop along and see what other pretty things my fellow DT members have made!

Try a New Technique...

or TLC on Splitcoaststampers every monday! I love this challenge and love how it turned out! The cootie catcher is super easy to make and if you have forgotten and have a daughter in 4-6th grade you can ask them how to makr them! Hey they would probably even help you!

I acutally loved doing the Dahlia fold so much from last weeks TLC challenge that I made another one...using the same designer paper and everything...might just give this and last weeks card as a hostess gift for an upcoming workshop! The only stamp on this whole thing is the holidays and wishes set for the sentiment. Although I did use one of the pretty whinestone brads from the pretties kit (I'm trying NOT to hoard!)

I also used my nestabilities to make the scallop around rectangle...love those nestabilities!

I wanted to show you a close up of this ribbon...isn't it cute! One of my AWESOME downlines (Nikki) showed me how to curl ribbon a few months back and I have never been then same! Isn't it too cute? It isn't hard either...just get some dowel rods, wrap the ribbon around it and secire down (I used my ATG's adhesive) and then place it in the oven at 220 degrees and bake for 25 minutes remore and unwrap...super cool huh?

The best part is this works with any kind of ribbon...even organdy, and the sheers with dots!

Give it a try! you know you want to!

Her is the base all filled up with skittles (DS wanted to eat them but I laid down the law! LOL I think when I give it to someone I will try to get matching candies...would look soo cute with red, pink and silver hershey kisses...don'cha think?

and this is a little closer up of the base... I really wanted to show you the pretty scallops!

Thanks for stopping by!

Happy Stampin'

Lovey Dovey

Hi there...no time no post...hahahaha OKay so the fisrt post doesn't really count since I was just posting the winner of the blog candy...you know! So here is my OFFCIAL post for today! I have always loved a good challenge and everyday on http://www.splitcoaststampers.com/ they have a challenge! And todays challenge was to make a heart shapped card with the template provided...I kinda made a card! I actually added a kickstand to it so that it can stand on it's own...and filled it with candy! This is actually a re-run challenge (they did it 2 years ago...you'll have to see the sample I made them..HAHAHA) Here is the link to the template. I actually used my copier and enlarged the heart 150 and then cut out that template and traced it onto the designer paper!

And here is the back view so you can see the kick stand. I know the hershey kisses don't match, but thats all I had and I needed to show you a visual! I might make 2 more for David's pre-school teachers...but Maybe I'll add a picture of him to the inside of the heart...hmmmm

Supplies:

Stamps: Fancy Flexible Phrases

Ink: Purely Pomegranate

paper: purely pomegranate textured cardstock, Bali Breeze designer paper

accessories: fresh favorites eyelets, Crop-a-dial, purely pomegranate Satin ribbon, word window punch, potage stamp decorative scissors

OKay OKay I'll show you my other one from 2 years aho...it's cute enough I guess! Amazig how much my stamping has changed in tow years!

For this one I actually Shrunk the template to make the card! This template has many many possibilities!

Thanks for stopping by!

Happy Stampin'
