Good-Bye Pick A Petal

The stamp set called PICK A PETAL has probably been my best selling stamp set, as there are so many things you can do with this set besides building a flower with it.

Take a look at this card I made "way back when"...

I love this little scarecrow card!

How about this cute little Mouse Card?


This next card we made at our July 2010 Stamp A Stack...



I think I have used this set more for other things than building a flower.

Feeling Sick?

This is another fun card that we made at last weeks STAMP A STACK.  I love the new stamp set used in this card called WORD PLAY, and I love the fact that you can combine old favorite stamp sets like PICK A PETAL and make it feel new again.  I think I use this stamp set more often for things other than a flower – but isn’t this little guy so cute?!



MENU:
SS: Pick A Petal, Word Play
CS: River Rock, Marina Mist, WW
INK: Black, River Rock, Marina Mist
Accessories: Black 1/8” ribbon, Dimensionals, Pencil eraser (for the pupils of the eyes)

So For Now…
Happy Stamping!!

Trash or Treasure

My friend Rachel and I are doing a Trash or Treasure battle and she is way ahead of me with the items we have decided to face off on, but this is one I had on hand and I needed a post for today. Sorry, Rachel, I will get to those others I promise - when life slows down - yeah right! Actually right now I am sitting at Zeeland Christian School with Sue for their craft sale. I did really well last year and am hoping to do well again this year.

These are my favorite Mandarin Oranges that I get at Costco. As you can see they have the pop top lid. What I do is use my Pampered Chef can opener (that opens around the edges and leave the lid able to reuse or recycle) to cut off the BOTTOM of the can leaving the pop top in tact. I molded chocolate turkeys and put them in a little zipper bag and sealed it up using

Stampin' Up's! Crystal Effects to seal it back up. That way the lucky recipient gets to pop the original top to get to her goodies.


MENU:

SS: Pick A Petal

CS: Rose Red, Summer Sun, Old Olive, Not Quite Navy, Close to Cocoa

INK: Ruby Red, More Mustard, Old Olive, Not Quite Navy
