Ode to Starbucks

My Clinical instructor loves Starbuck coffee as he has a cup everyday.  We needed a thank you for him so I used the cup sleeve to make a card.  I think he liked it.  The stamp set is Teeny Tiny Wishes.

My friend at Clinical brought us all cake pops in a cute little Starbucks bag.  I had to make it into two cards!  I like them both, but they needed something more.  Google eyes were the solution!  The stamp sets are Petite Pairs and Perfect Punches.

Hope you have a great Christmas! - Heidi

What to do with DSP?

I am not a hug fan of the DSP, Cheerful Treat, which is a hostess paper in the 2011-2012 Stampin' Up catalog. After using it and loving the color combinations I am a big fan now! Isn't that always the case? Anyway from one piece of DSP you can get four cards. The card above and below are 4-bar sized cards. Then there is a 4 X 4 card and an A10 (letter folded in thirds) card. The sets used are all from Stampin Up. They are in order from top to bottom: Triple Treat Flower, You're a Gem, Petite Pairs, Bring on the Cake and Posy Punch.

The SU colors are Lucky Limeade, Melon Mambo, and Pink Pirouette. I used Versamark and embossed all of those flowers and punched them out. It was so much fun and making the envelopes to match was the icing on the cake. I hope you enjoy them! - Heidi

Posy Punch is used to make the middle of the flower on the outside of the envelope - BTW.

Zoo Review for You!

The above card is based on another card I saw on Splitcoast. The creator used Wisteria Wonder and I used Pool Party and Island Indigo. The stamps sets are also from Stampin' Up and are called Zoo Review and Petite Pairs.

The penguin card also uses Zoo Review and Petite Pairs. I embossed the white cardstock with a striped embossing folder from SU. Then I brayered it with Basic Black. What a mess! My fingerprints are everywhere. The Basic Black didn't absorb nicely into the cardstock. I drew on the big scalloped circle with a white gel pen to get the design. This card could look so much better, but it'll have to do for now! - Heidi
