Happy Easter - Long Nugget Candy Box - Acetate

TGIF!  We have made it to another Friday and Good Friday at that!  I will be away for the next few days but I wanted to share my Nugget Candy Box I made for Easter.  You can get the tutorial from Sara over at Sarahs Ink Spot.  She has some great tutorials. 

I chose to the the sleeve of my box using acetate so you could see the cute little candies inside the box.  I used the eggs from the Nature Walk stamp set for the labels to wrap the candy.

One note, if you do choose to use the acetate for the sleeve, or the box, score and crease your lines very well!  Practice makes perfect.

I hope everyone has a blessed Easter. 

Thinking of You - Embossed Acetate

I have been so excited waiting to share this card with you.  I love the look of the embossed acetate.  I used the Stampin Up! Elegane Lines embossing folder and ran a scrap through my Big Shot machine.  The stamps are from the Thanks for Caring set and I stamped them in Tempting Turquoise.  I  punched an elegant border to frame the aacetate and used dimensionals to add the flower and butterfly.

I also wanted to show you the inside which you see from the front of the card through the acetate.  I thought the embossed acetate would take away from seeing the sentiment but it works great!  Give it a try, you will love it!

Cherish - Color Challenge

Hello everyone!  I hope you had a great weekend.  It was girls night around here and I had four friends over Friday night to crop and spend the night.  We had a little cookout and went right to work cropping the night away!  I did miss stamping though!

My color challenge for this week is Olive Green.  I absolutely love this color as it goes with so many other colors and some you would never even think of!  I chose Barely Banana and Tempting Turquoise!  I love the two step bird punch and use it as often as I can!  This card has alot going on but I love all of the layers!

Enjoy and have a great week!

I "Heart" You!

Hello everyone!  I hope you had a wonderful weekend.  We had a full plate but had a blast! 

Todays card inspiration started with my weekly color challenge using Tempting Turquoise. This is a color I have not used alot but I really like it.  I'm not sure where the layout of my card came from.  I just started punching a few circles and before I knew it, it all fell into place.  I really like the end result!  Very stylish if I say so myself!  I stamped the I Love You from the Three Little Words set without inking the love and used a dimensional for the heart!

On another note, you may have heard the news that Stamping Up is doing a little renovation!  They have put together an awesome line up of colors dividing them into four categories.  They have retired quite a few colors, brought back from of the old "In Colors" and will be adding new ones with the new catalog release in July.  I will be posting a chart showing the new color line up.  We will say good bye to some nice colors but the new collections really compliment each other.
