Chinese Take Out Box (Petal Cone Die)

I am finding out that the new Petal Cone Die (#121810) is much more versatile than I first thought. I am finding all kinds of ways to use it. This is a Chinese take-out box made from the Petal Cone Die. It was very easy to do. My daughter is bringing this to school for her special Valentine. Her special valentine is a boy this year (they all draw names) so she wanted it to look like it was made for a boy. She stamped the robots from the Best Bots Forever stamp set and cut them out and pasted them on the sides of the box. She made different colored robots, pink, green and blue. She punches out hearts and glued them on the box and we tied a ribbon on the top with a tag. (Of course, we filled it with candy!) I got my idea for this Chinese take out box from another Stampin' Up demonstrator and I am giving you the link to her blog: http://createdbyu.blogspot.com/2011/01/super-saturday-tutorial-two-petal-cone.html because she has very explicit, step-by-step directions on how to make this Chinese take out box. Enjoy!

Sweet Centers Valentine Treats

My daughter and I made these Valentine Day treats for her classmates today. We used the Sweet Centers stamp set (116521) and the sweet treat cups(116802). We used the 1 3/4" punch to punch out the centers (119750). Enjoy!

Bitty Box Thank You

Here is a simple little thank you box made with the Bitty Box and Envelope die and the Thank You Embosslit die. I used our striped ribbon in Marina Mist and added one our our new Vintage Flower Adornments. Enjoy!

Petal Cone

Here are a couple of examples of the new Petal Cone die for the Big Shot which is now available in the Occasions Mini. It is an easy die to use and makes for elegant looking decorations and gift boxes. I used the stamp sets Elements of Style and Wedding Bliss on my creations. The die cut also cuts a long tag which can be used on projects. Enjoy!

Bridal Bliss Invitation

This is a card that is featured on the cover of the new issue of Stampin' Success (a magazine for demonstrators). It uses the new Bliss stamp set which will be available Jan. 25. You can earn it for FREE with a $50 purchase. Other supplies used include: Inviting Stamp Set, Very Vanilla cardstock, Blushing Bride cardstock, Crumb Cake cardstock, Soft Suede Textured cardstock, Blushing Bride ink, Crumb Cake ink, Soft Suede ink, Linen Thread, Pearl Basic Jewels, Dotted Scallop Ribbon Punch, 3/16" Corner Punch, Itty Bitty Shapes Punch Pack. The flower was used with the Scallop Circles #2 Big Shot die. Enjoy!

Wedding Sweet Invitation

Here is a wedding invitation card I cased from another SU demonstrator Ann Schach. I really like the clean, simple, elegant lines of this card. I used the Wedding Sweet stamp set and embossed the images with our gold embossing powder. The new Elegant Lines embossing folder was used for the background. Satin black ribbon and pearls complete the card. Enjoy!

Paper Flowers and Weddings!

These fabulous paper flower decorations would look lovely on a table or place setting for a wedding. They were a cinch to make too! Simply punch out various flowers with the 2 3/8" scallop circle punch. ( If you desire larger flowers, use the larger scalloped circle dies with the Big Shot.) You can distress the edges of the scalloped circles if you like. Poke a hole in the middle of the scalloped circles. Put a brad through. Then fold and crinkle the scalloped circles into a 3-D flower! It's that simple! I used the new Bliss stamp set to stamp Bliss and a flower on tags I made for my flowers. The Bliss stamp set is FREE with a $50 purchase beginning next week for Sale-A-Bration! I added some of our new crocheted ribbon for an accent. You can use any of our ribbon for accents. Colors I used were Blushing Bride (which is a gorgeous light pink color, the picture does not show it well), Pretty in Pink and Marina Mist Blue. You can use any of our colors to create these simple, yet elegant looking flowers for your events! Enjoy! P.S. I also used our self-adhesive Basic Pearl Jewels on the tags for an extra special effect! Love those pearls!
