Simple sunflower sweet treat

Here I go again with my sweet treat cups!  As soon as I got them from Barb, aka snowmanlover, I knew I wanted to do an "authentic" sunflower by putting actual sunflower seeds in the middle.  I finally remembered to get the seeds the other night, so here it is.  The card is not for anyone in particular, just one I wanted to make to have on hand.  I felt like the sunflower was a good "thinking of you" theme.  The background paper, ribbon, sweet treat cup, and stamps are all from Stampin' Up!, and you can get it all from Barb, here:  http://www.snowmanlover.blogspot.com/.

I definitely needed to ink the sunflower after I cut it from WIMG, and then I punched out the middle with the coordinating SU 1 3/4" punch for the sweet treat cup.  The buttons are from a pack I bought at Joann's last week.  Thanks for visiting!

I've been sooooo busy!!!!

I made nine of these sweet treat cards for a friend to give to the kids in her life - I really hope she appreciates all of the work that went into these, lol!  It took me all night to cut, glue, and stick, but I got them done.  Four are for boys, five are for girls.  Most cuts are from the Easter seasonal cart, with the exception of some of the shorter grass, which is from Plantin Schoolbook.  Lots more to do over the next few days for my family now, but at least these are done! 

The insides are just stamped with a "Happy Easter" sentiment at the bottom so she can write in whatever she wants.  The candy corns were actually from Michael's - you know, one of those "impulse buys" right near the register, and they suckered me in, lol.  But I really like the way they came out.  I do love my sweet treat cups from Stampin' Up, and you can get them from Barb here:

The various papers are from a combination of Michael's and Stampin' Up, and the stamps are from Michael's dollar bin.  Thanks for visiting!

An Homage to Snowmanlover!

So, every part of this Easter card is from Barb's Stampin' Up site!  She put together all of the papers, cardstock, and ribbon in a Springy Card Kit, and the sweet treat cups I ordered separately.  Barb is so sweet, and I wanted to make an "all-Barb" card, lol, to thank her for her great kits.  You can visit her site here:    http://www.snowmanlover.blogspot.com/

The egg was finished off with some stickles for a little extra, but the cardstock, paper, ribbon and sweet treat cup are all from Stampin' Up.  The sentiment was cut with the new Easter cartridge, the grass was cut with Plantin Schoolbook, and the egg was a leftover cut from an Easter treat bag I cut with MTC (see several posts below).  Thanks for visiting!

Blizzard cabin fever!!!

Ok, so once again we are in the midst of a blizzard - for anyone who is counting. that's the second in four days.  So I took the opportunity to make a card with the limited scrap supplies I have at my boyfriend's place.  Piglet was from a file by Stacy, and you can find her amazing stuff at http://www.stackyscraps.com/.  The sweet treat cups, of course, are from Stampin' Up, and the paper and ribbon are from Michael's.  This is pretty simple and plain, but like I said, I don't have access to my full array of supplies right now, so this will have to do.  Thanks for visiting!

Pooh bear sweet treat

I am just loving these sweet treat sweetheart cups!  This time, I cut Pooh from a dingbat file using Make the Cut, and filled the heart with red hots.  I also love this background paper from Michael's.  Thanks for visiting!

Hello Kitty!

I love Hello Kitty, even though my nieces are too old for her.  I used the Hello Kitty Greetings cart for this, and the Stampin' Up! full heart punch and sweet treat cups for the cut out balloon.  The additional hearts are just cast-offs from the punch, with a couple of stickers from Michael's.

Love, Philly style

For those of you familiar with Philadelphia, this was my attempt at using the sweet treat cups to pay homage to the statue in Love Park.  The "O" in that statue is slightly askew, so I used the cut from Home Accents, snipped off the heart, and turned it slightly.  Probably could have turned it even more, but for a first shot, I guess it's OK.  Also, it doesn't show up well, but I embossed the pink layer with the new Cuttlebug hearts folder.  Thanks for visiting!

"Bee Mine" sweet treat card

Here is an experimental  card - I'm not real sure about the bottom part, but I am really into this technique right now, so more to follow.  The bee image was from the Make the Cut! gallery (see links for info), and the sweet treat cups are from the Stampin' Up Occasions mini.  Hope you enjoy my first official post!
