Valentine Peeps! Stamp Simply Style!

Hello!  How about a simple Valentine treat today?  I have been wanting to do this with marshmallow peeps forever!  I finally got it to the finish line with Valentine Heart Peeps!  

Here is what the packaged Peeps looked like, my local grocer also had these in bright pink.  I had tongue depressors on hand, so that is what I chose to make my Peep Pops out of, however popsicle sticks would work just as well.  Covering the handle part of the depressors was a snap. The depressors are approximately 6 inches in length.  I traced the depressors onto My Mind's Eye Lucky in Love (HERE) designer papers and trimmed them at 4 1/2 inches in length. That way the Peeps did not come in contact with the paper. 

A simple glue wash applied to the depressors is all that was needed to adhere the paper to each of the sticks.  I like to work on a paper plate for this as it can be thrown away when done.  A few drops of water mixed with the glue is what is pictured on the plate.  I also keep a little cup of water so it is at hand if and when more water is needed.  

I used clear envelopes (HERE) to cover each individual Peep Pop.  I trimmed off the adhesive flap and it worked perfectly.  I always have clear envies on hand and I use them often for packaging.  That way I did not have buy a package of bags only to use a few.  I used divine twine (HERE) to tie the clear envies, making sure to leave long tails of twine to use on the tags.

I used one of the sentiments and one of the decorative heart stamps from the above JR set, Hugs & Kisses (HERE).  It is a clear set featuring 26 stamps.  I used Versafine Smokey Gray (HERE) ink for stamping the sentiments.  It was the first time I used this color and love, love, love it!  Versafine works great with clear stamps!

Here is a single Peep Pop!  Note the beautiful ribbon tied above the tag!  Sharon has just listed Valentine Ribbons (HERE) & (HERE) in The Stamp Simply Ribbon Store.  Something new to me used for this creation is a ZIG Painty Chisel Marker (HERE).  The stamped heart and the larger heart base are cut using Spellbinders Classic Heart Dies (HERE).  Each larger heart base is edged with this new white paint pen. Talk about smooth and easy!  I LOVE this new paint pen! 

THANKS SO MUCH FOR STOPPING BY!  HOPE THIS POST INSPIRES YOU TO GET GOING ON THOSE VALENTINES FOR THE SPECIAL PEOPLE IN YOUR LIFE!  

Ribbon Inspiration/Stamp Simply Style-Melissa Frances

Happy Saturday to you! Today's Stamp Simply Style Inspiration is coming to us from Melissa Frances Products! I've made a much needed Congrats card using paper from Melissa Frances Kitchsy Kitchen 6" x 6" paper pad and crepe paper from Melissa Frances Vintage Crepe Paper Assortment! I LOVE this crepe paper, takes me back to the quality crepe paper of my youth! The card base size is 4 1/4" x 5 1/2". 

I want to share how I created my crepe paper flower! It's so simple and easy! Above you see three layers of blue crepe paper. I have placed all Spellbinders Blossoms Three dies in order of size before running it through my Grand Calibur. This created rings of die cut blossom edging in various sizes!

After separating the die cut blossom rings, I cut the ring to allow a starting end point! The adhesive foundation to the flower is a Cosmo Cricket Gluber. It is a very sticky circle that has adhesive on both sides. 

In this photo, I started with the end point, pressing the inner blossom die cut on the outer edge of the gluber circle, continuing around in a circle, stretching the paper while pressing. Stretching the edge creates ripples in the crepe paper thus creating the look of a flower!

Here is a closer look at the flower!  Once all the gluber was covered with crepe paper, I went in and stretched the crepe paper edging even more. Melissa Frances adhesive pearls are found HERE. The card sentiment is from JustRite's You are the Best Cling Set and cut out using Spellbinder's Lacey Pennant Set dies.

How about the above Melissa Frances kit for Mystery Blog Candy this week? Lots of yummy goodness in this package! The winner will be drawn from comments on one of today’s participating blogs, so leave a comment on each blog! This will increase your chances of winning. The winner will be selected at 6pm EST on Tuesday, June 5 and will be posted on Sharon's blog on Wednesday or thereafter. You must check back to claim you prize if you are the winner!

Clear Boxes! Stamp Simply!

This weeks Stamp Simply Challenge is to use clear boxes! I am showing you a little different application today and suggest trying them out to package a small gift item! I found a set of four snowflake candles that I separated out and to gift individually.

Using designer paper from the KaiserCraft Dear Santa Collection, I lined the box bottom and used the same to make the filler piece. The stamped piece is from JustRite's Christmas Joy set! I punched out using my MarvyUchida scallop punches, added some beautiful crinkled ribbon and there we have it, a gift all ready for giving! I LOVE this simple and wonderful way of packaging! The uses for these boxes are endless! Let's see what you can come up with! Take a look at these Stamp Simply Ribbon Store Designer's clear box creations!

Stamp Simply Ornaments!

Decorating for Christmas is HUGE! Giving small homemade gifts is another BIG thing. So, for Sharon Johnson's Stamp Simply Challenge we are combining the two! Our challenge is to make a Christmas Ornament OR an item of Home Decor that could be used yourself or as a small gift to give. You may alter a store bought item, create something from scratch! If creating a gift item or home decor item is not on your agenda right now, then make a card with some sort of ornament on it, easy enough! Just have FUN!

I chose to make a pocket ornament! After adhering my paper onto my ornament, I also attached a half piece, placing the scor tape on the bottom and up the two sides. On the sides I placed the edge in a bit to create more of a pocket feature. Paper is Basic Grey's Jovial. And oh my, here is that spectacular trim again! I used it around the ornament and could not let the tiny bit left go to waste! I trimmed the edge of a piece of ribbon! Makes a super hanger inserted into the top ornament hole. A look at the pocket, I will be giving several of these to family members for Christmas this year. I needed a pocket to place a gift card! Then the recipient can hang on tree, hang on the wall, keep empty or fill with greens! Besides the trim, I utilized a Webster's Pages Bloomer, silk and twill ribbons! See the leaves? These are the fall leaves from Prima that I cut to resemble holly leaves! Making good use out of all the goods!

Here is another version! A bit ornate for me, but so pretty just the same! Love the velvet ribbon inserted thought the lace! Ornaments, Paper, Ribbons & Trim, Lace, Sticker Sentiment, leaves, and Scor tape are all found at The Stamp Simply Ribbon Store! As always, all are welcome and invited to play! Keyword is ssnotime168 for those who upload at SCS. There is no time limit. You can play this challenge anytime at all. The point is to keep it simple, quick and have fun!

Joy of the Holidays! Stamp Simply Black Friday!

It's Friday! Actually it's Black Friday here in the US! The day after Thanksgiving is when the Christmas shopping season begins and retailers hope to get their books from the red into the black! So, for Sharon Johnson's Stamp Simply Challenge today, we will use Black in our creations. Use it as one of your feature colors, accents, black ribbon, whatever works for you. Just have FUN! For my Black Friday creation I chose to gussie up this gift bag! It is a beautiful mirrored silver paper bag. I tried several times to take a picture that did it justice but as you can see I did not succeed! The black images on the bag are actually flocked, just scrumptious. I replaced the bag handles with black velvet ribbon! Embellished the stamped bag tag with a piece of Webster's Vintage Inspired netting, and a Webster's Pages Sparklers button! The stamped sentiment is found in my Clearly Wordsworth Set, Classic Christmas by Rubber Soul! I also edged my Spellbinder die cut with my Silver Leafing pen. Now I have a gift bag all set to go! Velvet ribbon, netting, sparkler button, stamp set, leafing pen and Spellbinder die are all found in The Stamp Simply Ribbon Store!

Thanks so much for stopping by! We hope you can play along this week. All are welcome and invited to play! The Splitcoaststampers Keyword is ssnotime167 for those who upload at SCS.

Blackberry Scripture Tea, Velveeta Cheese, and Honey, OH MY!

My take on Sharon's Stamp Simply Challenge is a bit of a stretch this week! It's all about canning, freezing or drying your summer harvest! Are you still doing that or preparing those previously preserved goodies for Thanksgiving or Christmas? Today is all about preserving our fruits of the harvest. So here's the stretch, my food related item is tea, Blackberry Tea! It counts, right? I've food related items throughout the project too! Wherever today's challenge brings you, whether using food type stamps, papers or embellishments on a creation, decorating a jar of canned goods, or even wrapping a chocolate bar, it's all good!

How about a box to hold that tea! This was super simple to create! So simple that I created twelve of these boxes (yet to embellished)! The box top sentiment is stamped with a Verve Stamp that Sharon now carries in her store! This was my first experience stamping with Verve stamps and I have to say I love the clear stamp quality! And the ability to buy single stamps is a plus! How did the box begin? With a food carton of course! See, I'm getting the food relating in there! Ahhh, yes Velveeta cheese! I made mac and cheese last week and could not bring myself to throw away the container! I loved the simple construction! I traced onto my designer papers and cut out. The paper on this box is K&CO Yuletide. I just saw Sharon only has two kits containing this paper left in her store. Here is a look at the box base, the lid is what holds the sides together when assembled. Each tea bag has a scripture on the tea tag. I bought tea bags at my local Cracker Barrel Restaurant. There is a website if you are interested, http://www.scripturetea.com/, I have not visited the site yet, but hope to soon! Let me know if you do! Two honey sticks are a perfect addition! More food related items! LOL The honey is flavored, I purchased them at a bakery and wish I'd bought more! Close up of the box reveals trim used on the lid top edge and along the bottom edge. I am in love with this trim, once the scor tape is applied to the trim back, it easily bends in half, allowing half the trim on the box top, and the other half on the box side. So pliable and smooth, giving such a finished look! You can purchase this trim at The Stamp Simply Ribbon Store. You will also find the gorgeous silk ribbon there too.

Thanks so much for stopping by today! I really appreciate it! I do hope you get the chance to play along with The Stamp Simply Challenge this week. If you upload your creation to a public forum, please use keyword ssnotime166 and/or upload on Sharon's Mr Linky! Take Good Care!

Christmas Colors? What are you Favorites?

It's time for Sharon's annual Non-traditional Christmas Colors Stamp Simply Challenge! This week, let's make Christmas cards or projects in NON-traditional Christmas colors, meaning NO typical red and green. To get you thinking, some personal favorites of Sharon's are Bashful Blue, Amethyst, Celery, Pink or Rose. I went with the Pink, Rose, and Celery for my Advent project today!

ALL papers on this creation are from Sharon's YULETIDE kit, the ribbons too! I did add some velvet ribbon around the box, and some of the velvet ric rac on the inside.

A bit of Grandma's writing! This tag is from the tag pad in the YULETIDE kit, as are the adhesive rhinestones. FYI, all kit contents are also available for individual purchase! The advent box is a Kaiser product that I got from Ellen Hutson. You can see the top of the individual boxes with white acrylic paint on the edges, I only painted the edges of the boxes and edges of the large box! All paper is adhered using scor tape with edges sanded! What a labor of love, I've been working on this all week! I'll post again with all the stamping details!

Tis the Season for Clean & Simple

For Sharon Johnson's Stamp Simply Challenge today we're thinking simple! Tis the Season for Clean & Simple and that is definitely the way to go when we need to mass produce. So lets think Clean & Simple, while making our creations with a Christmas or winter theme in mind!

Today, I chose to stay with one pad of paper to draw inspiration from, that's simple, right? I love the non traditional holiday colors in Crate's Snowy Day Collection paper pad. The size is 6"x6" and pages are double sided! I love that! There are several pages with these adorable trees. I added the sentiment "O Christmas Tree" to the paper with my stamp from RubberSouls's Holiday Stylized Set.(pictured at left) It looks just like the sentiment was printed on the paper! So simple, and when I trimmed the paper, it left a strip with the sentiment on, so I punched it out to place with the ribbon treatment. Super simple ribbon treatment, running 1/2" scor tape along the back of my twill ribbon, and pressing down along the way as I went from side to side on the top paper layer. I tend to distress edges of paper when I want to cover the ends of ribbon or paper on the sides. For me, it's such a simple thing to do and lends a more finished look! Ribbon bow is looped twill, tied with twine and glued atop the pleated ribbon! Simple, easy! Stamp set, paper, ribbon & string are found at The Stamp Simply Ribbon Store! The button is one from my stash!

So there you have it! A simple card with simple embellishing! I hope you are having a fabulous Friday and enjoy the rest of the designers clean and simple creations! Take good care!

It's a Stamp Simply Back to Nature Challenge!

We are getting Back to Nature for Sharon Johnson's Stamp Simply Challenge this week! Autumn is truly beautiful here in West Michigan, the changing of leaves from green to a rainbow of rich yellows, oranges and reds. The photo shown above was taken today as I looked out the window of my studio! Isn't it beautiful? In just a short while all these leaves will be gone and we know whats next, snow! Yuck! If I could, I would choose autumn all year long! So today let us be inspired by Mother Nature in our creations, let’s create something with a natural, earthy feel reflective of ANY season YOU enjoy, it’s the natural/earthy element we are going for here. Here is what I created! A card that will pair with a gift item I will share in a later post! What better set to celebrate autumn, than JustRite"s Autumn Blessings Set, found at THE STAMP SIMPLY STORE. I colored my images with Copics and used a swirly folder to dry emboss the upper card front, it reminds me of swirling leaves! And they do swirl when the wind blows!

A closer view of the Prima Leaves Sharon has in her store! I LOVE these leaves, the intricate veins and colors are so cool! And there are 24 in the set! Gotta love that!!! The twill can also be found at THE STAMP SIMPLY STORE. I ran a line of 1/4" scortape down the middle and pressed the twill down after bringing up a bit, then pressing down again, until I got across the card front width.

Another photo to share! What a perfect day! Thank you so much for stopping by today! I hope you get a chance to create and play along with this weeks challenge.

Three is the Number!

Sharon Johnson's Stamp Simply Challenge has us thinking in 3’s. Our creations should incorporate THREE somethings, such as panels (as in background panels) or THREE images (as in the focal point). Things always look pleasing to the eye when grouped in THREES! For my creation I chose to make THREE holiday tags!

As a starting point, I selected my Clearly Wordsworth Classic Christmas set by RubberSoul. What did I discover? A THREE holly leaf & berry stamp and a THREE hanging ornament stamp! PERFECT for today's challenge! Reaching outside my comfort zone, I decided to use distress inks, spritzed with water, and laying the white cardstock tag onto the ink, pressing somewhat to create a tag background and dried with a heat embossing gun. Joan from Joan's Gardens demonstrated this technique at her gathering in August. I admit I've a hard time starting out with this type of base to build a creation! I LOVE how it turned out, talk about simple, easy and fun! All distress inks and supplies are listed at the end of this post!

I think this is my favorite tag of the trio. At first look, I would not have picked this tag base as a favorite, but after stamping the THREE holly leaf & berry stamp THREE times, I knew this was a going to have a great feel. The "to" and "from" stamps a perfect size, and being individual stamps allows the ability to move them around on your creations. I moved "from" over more to the left of the tag on this one! Gotta love that!

For this particular tag, I only pressed the base into one color distressed ink. Using the ends of the holly stamp to create a top stamped edge created the perfect hanging point for the THREE hanging ornament stamp!

I stamped the THREE hanging ornament stamp THREE times for this tag. Each tag sports a snowflake with buttons and adhesive gems. This helps tie the colors together. Plus a simple embellishment adds that extra dimensional charm to the tags. Each snowflake has stickles for a little shine. So there you have it! THREE tags, using a THREE holly leaves & berries stamp, a THREE hanging ornament stamp, and two of the tags are stamped THREE times! I think I got the challenge down this week! How about you giving it a try? You can play along, as many times as you want, whenever you want!

Transitioning into Fall!

Falling Leaves, is a great theme this time of year! Sharon Johnson's Stamp Simply challenge this week is to incorporate leaves into our projects, any type of leaves! We're looking forward to seeing some beautiful leaf creations as we transition into fall mode! I made a Halloween card utilizing my favorite leaf embellishments this year! You can't go wrong with these suede leaves! They are so soft and easy to work with. I wanted my leaves to look somewhat crunched, you know how they get when they fall and start to dry out?

This is how I scrunched the leaves. Using Jute String, and a large eye needle, sew a running stitch down the middle of each leaf and pull to gather. These suede leaves come in many colors and are a snap to use!

When I got to the base of each leaf, I added a button using the same string. After trimming the string, I then taped string end down with scotch tape and secured entire leaf and button to card using glue dots. Let's see what leaves fall into your creations this week! If you upload to a public forum, please use keyword, ssnotime155. Remember to upload to Mr Linky over on Sharon's BLOG.

Pleated, Gathered, and Sewn, Oh my!

Pleated ribbon seems to be very popular! So, for Sharon Johnson's Stamp Simply Challenge today we're going to make creations with pleated ribbon. You may use purchased pleated ribbon, you may pleat your own or pleat with tape. For the purpose of this challenge, we will equate gathers to pleats, either or both is fine! Phew, that's a good thing cause most of my creations are gathered ribbon! LOL The head caps and bib are Gerber brand purchased at my local Meiers store. This brand or similar are found where baby items can be purchased.

Michelle Woerner, one of The Stamp Simply Ribbon Store Designers has a simple pleat method shown HERE! Check it out! This bib has pleated ribbon machine sewn around the edging! I chose this sturdy new twill, so it will withstand washing. (I have not laundered this yet, I will let you know how it does when I do!)

We are going to be welcoming new baby girls at the end of this year and beginning of next, so I want to have plenty of socks and head accessories! This set has the sturdy new twill along with a piece of silk ribbon.

And this headband is perfect for the holidays! All ribbons can be found in The Stamp Simply Ribbon Store! The supply is unlimited for making anything gathered, pleated, or embellished! Have fun. Take Good Care, and thanks so much for stopping by! Remember to use this keyword, ssnotime153 when uploading to a public forum! Upload over at Sharon's blog Mr Linky too.
