Something Sweet square cards...

I've been waiting for an excuse to use this Something Sweet stamp set (in the Occasions Mini), so I created a card class!

For one project, stampers could choose to make this gumball card or the baby card below, depending on which card they needed.

I started with a 5-3/8" square Whisper White card, with a square of Shades of Spring designer paper. I used my FREE Scallop Trim Border Punch ('cause I bought $50+, of course) on a piece of Soft Suede print paper, securing a knot of Pretty in Pink satin ribbon.

I found it easier to punch a 1-3/4" hole for the Sweet Treat Cup before stamping the bottom of the gumball machine. The little balls inside are edible pearls used in cake decorating.

The final touch is a filigree flower brad with a pink rhinestone brad.

The baby card uses the same supplies, though instead of a brad, we added a Soft Suede polka-dot ribbon knot on the rattle.

This card was CASE'd from here.

Sweet Centers are red hot...

I love the Whisper White contrasting with the Real Red on this Sweet Centers card. It gives it a clean and simple look - my favorite!

I ran a 4" x 5-1/4" piece of Whisper White through the Big Shot with the Petals-A-Plenty textured embossing folder and adhered it to the Real Red card.

For the front, I punched the 1-3/4" circle first, then stamped the ornament hanger and sentiment.

To line up the Sweet Treats cup on the red layer, I used a pencil to trace where I wanted it, filled the cup with Red Hots and adhered it to the red layer. The white stamped layer went right over the top where I wanted it. I CASE'd this idea, but have no idea from where. If it's your idea, let me know and I'll give you credit!

Sweet Centers treat...

The Sweet Centers stamp set and Sweet Treat cups make quick and easy goodies that are fun.

Kim brought this make & take to our demo meeting yesterday. We inked up the entire image in Pumpkin Pie, then wiped off the center and colored it with markers.

We used the 1-3/4" circle punch to punch out the middle (and adhered it to the inside - bottom photo), added the M&Ms in the treat cup and adhered that to the front of the card, adding the stamped layer over the top.
