More Shoebox Share

As I mentioned in my last post, I have some projects to share from a recent shoebox swap. The first is a card created by Edith Hulsmann that used the Big Shot and an embossing folder to create a one-of-a-kind wreath. Fabulous!!


The next one is a gift card holder created by Susi Brunk. The Cherry Cobbler portion slides out, opens and holds a standard gift card.


And the last one was created by my upline Sherrie Thomas and features the fun treat cups to simulate a snow globe.


I hope you liked the projects as much as I did! Thanks for stopping by!

Treat Cup Challenge

Today's card is one I made for a challenge from my upline to use a treat cup. I started by created a multi-colored focal image using the very popular Medallion stamp set and some sponge daubers. I started by inking up the entire image with So Saffron ink. Then I went back over the image with sponge daubers using Crushed Curry and Soft Suede inks to add some dimension. I punched a bunch of flowers out of Soft Suede cardstock with the Trio Flower punch to fit inside the treat cup. Last, I added a few layers of cardstock and DONE!

One of my fellow demonstrators, Rhonda Wilkinson, got super creative using her treat cups to fit poker chips, dog treats, and miniature dice (see below). Way too cute!!

Fun With Treat Cups

Well, I'm enjoying Spring Break in Chicago with my mom and stepdad. But I wanted to share some new projects that I made at my upline's house a few weeks ago using Stampin' Up!'s treat cups. The first one is used as the center of a sunflower with roasted sunflower seeds inside!


The next one is used to create a piggy bank - perfect for tucking in some money as a gift!


And the last one is used to make a baby rattle, filled with mints.

Hope you liked them! I'll post some more projects when I get back to town.

Thanks for stopping by!
