Candy Dispenser

I've seen this candy dispenser on Pinterest a number of times but there was never a tutorial with it.  Finally I found one done by Sandra Hanadanian and she provided a tutorial here so I could finally make one.  The tutorial is not the easiest to follow, but I managed to problem solve my way through it.

Stamp: Chalk Talk
Inks: Pool Party, Real Red
Papers: Real Red, Whisper White, Pear Pizzazz, Fresh Prints DSP
Accessories: Chalk Talk framelits, 1 3/8" circle punch, Spiral flower die, Fringe scissors

Decorations on lid: roses and a fringe flower

Blue Ribbon Birthday

For this card I used the fringe scissors to create a fringe around the Blue Ribbon.

I first stamped the image using Pacific Point ink and punched it out using the 2 3/8" scallop circle punch.  To avoid punching the ribbon off at the bottom, I cut those with the scissors first, plus the first scallop on either side.  Then, when I inserted the image into the punch, I pulled the ribbon over the top of the punch and punch.  Whalla, the ribbon did not get punched off.
Then I stamped the sentiment in Baked Brown Sugar, punch it with the 1 3/4" punch and adhered it to the center.  The ribbon sentiment was stamped in Baked Brown Sugar using the stamp-a-ma- jig.

For the fringe I folded a 2" piece of Modern Medley designer paper in half and cut the open end of the paper with the fringe scissors.  I added one layer at a time on the back of the award ribbon using a glue gun and then fluffed the fringe.

It was mounted on the card using dimensionals.

Stamp: Blue Ribbon
Ink: Baked Brown Sugar, Pacific Point
Papers: Whisper White, Afternoon Picnic DSP, Modern Medley DSP, Soft Suede taffeta ribbon, 1 3/4" scallop circle punch, 1 3/4" circle punch, dimensionals, hot glue gun

Another Great Year - Technostamper 297

I think we`re experiencing our January thaw.  Since Saturday the temperature has been 6 degrees - in some places higher.  All the snow and ice we have has been melting, but because the storm drains are covered up with snow banks there are giant puddles all over the place.  In other words, its a mess out there!  Tomorrow its supposed to get colder again - and those puddles will freeze.
Today`s card is another birthday card, using the sketch with the Technostamper here

The base card is Coastal Cabana card stock layered with Very Vanilla.  The large banner is Retro Fresh Designer paper.

At the top of the card is a piece of Tangerine Tango upon which the sentiment is stamped.  Two cupcakes stamped on a separate piece of Whisper White cardstock and coloured with SU markers were cut out and adhered on either side of the sentiment.  I punched two hearts out of red glimmer paper using the Owl builder punch and glued them on top of the hearts already on the cupcake.  Some dazzling diamonds was placed on the icing.

Vanilla seam binding was attached to the lower ending and a bow placed in the middle.

At the bottom end of this tangerine piece I attached a  fringed piece of designer paper which I fringed using the Paper Fringe scissors.
