I made these treats for prizes at a paintball game that my brother hosted. They are packages of sixlets wrapped in a stamped piece of cardstock.

The Palm Fronds image from Stampendous was stamped with Vivid Olive ink onto Pure Luxury Fresh Asparagus cardstock. I added two copperbrads to the left of the frond image and then secured the cardstock around the candy.

Supplies:

• Stamps: Palm Fronds (Stampendous)
• Ink: Vivid Olive (GKD)
• Paper: PL Fresh Asparagus (GKD)
• Accessories: Copper Brads (GKD), Sixlets candies

No, I didn’t die! LOL

My family and I were at a home education convention last week and then I’ve been busy getting my spring gardening stuff ready.

I do want to post a quick card though, so you know that I did make something in the past week.

I stamped the sentiment (Stampendous) onto Spring Moss (PTI) cardstock using Rich Cocoa (GKD) ink and then colored the flower petals and center with a white gel pen. I then colored the leaves with a green Copic marker (GKD) and the flower center with a yellow Copic marker. To finish the card, I added a little border with a dark brown marker.

This is another cute image that I picked up from the $1* Spot in Archivers. It’s made by Stampendous and he’s just the cutest in his little scarf and cap.

* Technically it’s now the $1.99 spot but I remember when it was the $1.00 spot.

I stamped the chick image onto white cardstock using Dark Chocolate ink and then colored him with my Copic markers; Y00, YG00, BG32, BG49, E21, W-1, & 0. You need to be carefull when using Hybrid inks and Copic markers together, because the Hybrid ink will bleed if it is saturated too much. After coloring the cute bird, I trimmed out the white cardstock added a rhinestone to his hat.

The pattern paper on the cardfront was from a Making Memories package – actually the package that the chipboard flourish is from. I just trimmed it to the size of my cardfront (4″ x 4-1/4″) and secured it to my white cardbase.

I wrapped some Dark Chocolate twill around the cardfront and secured it in a knot. Then I mounted my white cardstock with dimensionals and glued the chipboard flourish to the white cardstock using Tombo Mono-Multi Aqua. The flourish was colored with my E57 Copic marker and then I added three rhinestones to it.

Originally I had stamped the sentiment onto the cardfront but when I went to stamp over it a second time (to darken it one shade) my Stamp-a-ma-jig had moved so I ended up stamping it crooked over the first one. To remedy the situation, I stamped the image twice on another piece of the patterned paper. Then I punched it out with a circle punch, and after distressing the edges, I secured it over the mess-up. It’s all covered up and you would never had known!

Suplies:

• Stamps: Winter Chick (Stampendous), Tiny Talk (SU!)
• Ink: Dark Chocolate (PTI)
• Paper: White, Green and White Polka-dot
• Accessories: Dark Chocolate twill (PTI), Chipboard Flourish (MM), Silver Rhinestones, Circle Punch, Dimensionals, Copic Markers

I picked up this cute little penguin guy from the $1 Spot at Archivers a few weeks ago but I threw away the packaging so I don’t remember who makes him!

ETA: Sandi informed me that the image is from “Stampendous”. Thank you!

I stamped the penguin image onto 80lb. Pure Luxury White cardstock using Tuxedo Black Memento ink and then proceeded to color him with Copic markers. To color the penguin I used E29, E49, E43, 0, and then added just a dot of blush to his cheeks with R20. His scarf was colored with YG95 and toned down with W-3. The sky around him was colored with G00 and B00 before blending out with 0. I colored the ground with W-1 and W-3, blended it out with 0 and then added some “pebbles” at his feet with W-1 again by making little dots. After I finished coloring him, I cut him out with one of my Labels 2 Nestabilities dies.

I stamped the snowflakes from Rupa Shevde’s “The Magic of Christmas” stamp set onto kraft cardstock using VersaMark and then added some flourish stamps from Autumn Leaves. I wrapped the bottom of the craft cardstock with chocolate ribbon and then adhered it to the Kiwi Kiss cardfront.

The penguin image was mounted to the cardfront with dimensionals and then I stamped the word “Thank You” from Rupa Shevde’s “Home Tweet Home” stamp set. For a little more contrast, I added a brown button to the cardfront secured with a glue-dot.
