SU Stars Blog Hop: Ebony & Ivory

Hi and welcome to the SU Stars Ebony & Ivory Blog Hop for January 2012!  If you want to start at the beginning of the Hop then please click here: http://su-stars.blogspot.com OR you may have just arrived here from Karen's blog http://www.kraftingwithkaren.blogspot.com/2012/01/su-stars-ebony-and-ivory-hop.html where she lays out a great tutorial on how to make her beautiful card!

Today I want to share with you a special Valentine I made for my husband, who is currently deployed.  This is not our first Valentine's Day apart, and probably not the last, but we make work ;)  So I wanted to do something different with the Paper Doily Large Sizzlit.  I started out by cutting out 5 doilies and folded them and adheared them down to a white circle I punched out. Then I used the large scallop circle punch with Basic Black cardstock and added another layer with the Delicate Doilies stamp set and punched it out with another circle punch.  Next I took the tiniest of Stampin'Up's pearls and put one on each scallop.  I cut my Basic Black card base at 5 x 10 and folded it to make a 5x5 square card to accomodate the larger "flower" I made with the folded doilies. I added a 4 3/4"square layer of Whisper White cardstock and then a 4 1/2" square of Mocha Morning Designer Series paper.  This paper is flocked and so luxurious! I added Black Satin ribbon before I put the doily flower down.  Finally I added the little heart cut from Red Glitter paper with the small heart punch and put a pearl down on each corner, I colored them red with a Sharpie marker.

I really love how nicely this card came together!  I enjoyed sharing it with you today! 

Please continue on the Blog Hop to Monica Weaver's blog http://www.addalittledazzle.com/ and see what fun projects she has to share with you today!

Happy Hoppin'!

Sweet Pressed Cookie Stamps in action!

Paige and I had so much fun making cookies and using the new Sweet Pressed Cookie Snowflake Stamp by Stampin'Up! last weekend!  They are so easy to use, even my 5 year old can do it!  You start by simply mixing up sugar cookies and popping them in the fridge for an hour to cool.  Then I used the medium scoop (approximately 2 tablespoons) and dropped the dough into some flour and rolled into a ball.  Next I placed them on the cookie sheet a few inches apart and let Paige do some cookie stamping! 

 I really wanted to make these cookies pop, so I found blue sprinkles at the grocery store and WOW! They look and tasted awesome!

There are 2 other interchangeable stamping pieces, a heart and pumpkin face!  More designs will be available in the Occasions Mini Catalog in January.

Happy Stamping to you!
