Never Enough Chocolate!


I'm having fun w/ this set from Clear Dollar Stamps. You'd think I was affiliated w/ them in some way, but I'm not. I see I flubbered on the bottom part. I restamped on another piece of this paper and still adhered the wrong one. Oh well... I like the yumminess of this card. The picture doesn't show all the dimension of the layered hearts, punched edges and the candy bars cut out and raised w/ pop dots..

My first Gina K!!!





I've been waiting and waiting to finally break the seal on my Gina K obsession. One of her designers came out w/ a coffee set that was a must have for me; which I haven't even played with yet. First this old guy was calling to me. I love the humor in this "tickle your funny bone" set- You know you're old when... Nothin' else special to talk about w/ this card-I just thought it was fun.

Yummy





Here's a fun little thing I made. I had this in mind for teachers valentines and one for my chocolate loving boss. It started out different but the final results work for me.I'm sure this isn't an original idea-I look at blogs so much that I don't know if my ideas come from me or I've seen it some where. Anyway here are the dimensions I came up with

*4 1/4x11 piece of cs
score @ 1/2,1 1/2,5,6,9 1/2(this part is really not necessary but will show you were you tape the 1/4" side to)
Then cut 1/4" off the 1/2 score. I had to do this so I could get my punch centered for the holes for the Hershey Sticks.
So after cutting off that 1/4" then I punched 4-1/2" circles(centered in the 1/2" and 1" score lines) to slide the sticks in. The 1/4" part gets taped to where the 9 1/2 mark would be/is.
Make sense? I hope so.

Some Materials used:
scor-pal
1/2" circle punch
Clear Dollar Stamps
Martha punches
Hershey choc. sticks

Just Playing


Did you ever lose all your mojo, but you still wanted to do something? Well that's what happened to me so I played w/ some pre-made cards I picked at Michael's dollar spot and then just added some stamped images to them. They are certainly not prize winners but I think they are kinda simple and cute. Although I'm partial to those stamps. Hmmmm why am I posting them if I don't think they're that great? I dunno LOL they're just fun little cards.

Main Supplies:
Stamps:Clear Dollar Stamps
Nestibilities, Martha punch...
