Lattice Window Card 5-13-14

Lattice Window 5-10-14I love this card!  It was so simple and so elegant. It opens to reveal a repeat of the design and the greeting.

 

Unfortunately it uses a lot of retiring products.  The lattice die and the En Francais stamp will be hard to find now.  I think you could achieve a similar look by substituting leaves or maybe even one of the new Thinlits in the 14-15 annual catalog.  Or perhaps even totally recreating the intertwined circles with the Circles Collection Framelits.

Sour Cream Treat Container 5-10-14

Sour Cream Treat Container 5-10-14What?  Sour Cream?  What is that about?

 

Perhaps you remember when some company packaged sour cream like this to be served with a baked potato.

 

Turns out this is a quick and cute way to package any little treat.  They are especially quick and easy with the Designer Series Paper Stacks with 4 1/2″ x 6 1/2″ paper.  Make a quick tag with the Scallop Tag Topper Punch and you’re practically done!  This little lady bug came from Bug Me which I believe is sold out.  Too bad.  But you could use the same idea with so many different stamps.

Blendabilities Storage

Blendabilities StorageComing soon to Stampin’ Up! are Blendabilities Markers.  These alcohol based markers are wonderful to color with.  You will want to stamp with the Memento Ink Pad, not the Stazon.  (The Stazon is also alcohol based and will bleed with the alcohol in the markers.)  The colors blend beautifully!  You can even color on pearls and rhinestones!

 

Be sure to keep the caps on tight so the markers and Memento pad don’t dry out.  And they should be stored flat… so how was I going to store them?  I got crafty and made this case.

This is not an easy project, but I think it’s worthwhile.
