I was in an Over the Top swap and a Mover's and Shakers swap. Here are my two swaps. There are much better in person. I really have to get a new camera.
Both of these projects use the Big Shot. I just love the new Monster set, and these candies always remind me of eyes.

SU has so much creativity! They decorated and inspired us in every room we were in just about. Here are some banners that were hanging in the Color Chart room. Love them!!
We had a lot of fun making these projects in this weeks class.
The new Big Fancy Flower punch was used to make this beautiful card. Also used the Polka Dot Embossing Folder, Leaf Sizzlet and the buds are the wings from the new XL Bird punch.
The Bird house is made out of the Mini Milk Carton Big Shot die out of the Occasions Mini. Don't you love the wood look? That is the Texture Plate and the stamp pad is taken over the top and the raised part gets inked. Looks real huh?!!
This is an adorable box designed by Richard Garay, a very Talented stamper! The Sweet Pea felt flowers are a perfect addition to this darling box! Inky Hugs, Sue

Hi, these are the last of the Sweet Treat Samples, but I know I will make more! Leave a comment of which is your favorite one and I will send the winner a Box of Sweet Treat Cups! Drawing will be random and drawn on Saturday September 19th, 10am Pacific Time.
My creative downline Caryl Williams created the Coffee card. It has a pull up so you can get the coffee beans out. How cool is that? Thanks for stopping by, don't forget to leave your comment! Inky Hugs, Sue
Hi everyone, Here are some more Sweet Treat Cup samples. What fun they are to make! Someone came up with the idea (sorry do not know who to give credit to) of these would be great for Scrapbook pages too! You can put in a lock of hair, save buttons or diaper pins, first tooth lost, etc!
Build a Bear is pregnant! I just love this one!
What little boy would not like to get this card for his Birthday? Full of worms!
This is one of the first ones I made, again whaty fun!

I was asked to Demo at Kathy Thorn's meeting my third upline yesterday. I worked all week on these 3D Sweet Treat cup projects. They were so much fun and the possiblities of what to fill the cup with is endless! A frind of mine told me their son had just gotten another traffic ticket, so that inspired me to make a Traffic light. That was the hit of everything, along with Frankenstein. I will be posting more pictures over the next couple of days of more Sweet Treat Cups. In the Holiday Mini for only $2.95 for 12.
I made this Traffic like a 2-4-6-8 box, only my demensions were using an 8.5x11 sheet of paper, score at 2.5, 5, 7.5 and 10. Using the 1 3/4 punch I punched a hole at th etop and bottam and traced a circle that I punched out. I then used the exacto knife to cut out. I carefulley placed the M&M's in there so the M's do not show. I sealed the back of the cups. I then cut out 2 4 inch squares, scored at 1.5 on all 4 sides. On two sides , cut the score lines up to the opposite score line. Using red sticky tape, I folded the bottom of the box and then putting a strip of sticky tape at the bottom of the inside of the light, I carfully adhered to sides of the box I just made so the bottom is inclosed. I did the same thing to make the top of the box, but cut 2 sides of the top box and only adhered the one flap inside the top of the light so there is a flip top. I attached some black grosgrain ribbon so the box can be opened. The box stands 8.5 inches tall, maybe to store those traffic tickets?
Frankenstein is the same box that I used on post from 8-19-09, Favor Boxes. I just decorated and embellished differently! I put black jelly beans inside the eyes. The ears are the large oval punch with the Jumbo eylets. The hair is the Scallop edge punch, using it twice over the same spot, I just misalligned the scallops and Voila, this is the edge you get. Great for making grass too!
This baby box is so adorable, who would not like to get this as a gift? Using the Fancy Favor box die cut, I put the box together, punched out the center again using the 1 3/4 ounch and filled with buttons from the local ccraft store. I used glue dots to hold them in place since I did not want the buttons to move around. Congrats is also using a bigd Shot die. Come back again for more Sweet Treat Cup Samples. Contact me with any questions. Inky Hugs, Sue.
Aren't these bags too cute?! There are so many ways to embellish and decorate this type of bag and for lots of great uses! You can also make this box any size you want, just use the same pattern but change your demensions.
To make this bag, I used two sheets of 8 1/2 x 9 inch Basic Black cardstock. I scored them at 2 inches, and 6 1/2 inches (in the 8 1/2 inch direction, 8 1/2 is north and south) and then flip and score 2 inches on one side. Hope that makes sense. The width of the box is 4 1/2 inches so you can start from there and make an awesome box! Inky Hugs, Sue
Hi,
We learned this beautiful Faux Leather technique at Leadership this past January. This is a purse I made! Following is the instructions for making this purse.
The top of the purse is made out of the Chocoloate Chip cardstock and using the Top Note die with the Big Shot and Glassy Glaze enamel . The bottom is using In Color Baha Breeze, Baroque background stamp, Kraft Chocolate Chip ink and Clear Embossing powder. Also used is a white button from the new Latte Designer Button collection and Baha Breeze Double Stitched Grosgrain ribbon.
Ink up the Top Note with Versa Mark and then pour Stampin' Ups Glassy Glaze Enamel all over the Versa Mark. It is important to use the Glassy Glaze instead of Clear embossing powder as the Glassy Glaze is much thicker and will show your marks much better.
Using the tip of your Bone Folder, make deep marks in your Glasy Glaze over the entire Top Note. Now emboss from underneath! This is so important because the Heat Gun will not blow away your Gassy Glaze and you will keep you marks that you have made.
Finish embossing, can you see the design which makes it really look like leather? Next for the bottom half of the purse, take an 8.5 by 11 paper and score 5 1/4 from each short end. This will leave a 1/2 inch center. Then mark a spot 2 inches from each of the 4 corners and then draw a line from your mark to the score line and cut. This will give you the shape of the purse.
This is what it should look like after it has been scored and cut.
This is what the inside of the purse look like. I used Note cards from SU which will fit perfectly inside your purse. You can also add a pen. To make the holder, I cut cardstock to 3 by 6. Scored on 3 sides ( 2 short and 1 long) 3/4 of an inch and 1 inch. I then cut out the two bottom corners and assembled to make the Note Card holder. I cut about 10 inches of ribbon and punched a hole about 1/2 inch from each end and folded the Top Note in half longwise. I then pulled the ribbon through the holes and used Sticky Tape to attached to the Tope Note and then put more Sticky tape on to attach to the cut and stamped Baha Breeze cardstock. Because the enamel is so thick I used Sticky Tape to attach the button too! I then used a velcro dot to hold down the front part of the purse. Enjoy and Email me with any questions. Inky Hugs, Sue
Hello,
Here are some Valentines Day projects all done with the Big Shot! The heart box is made with the Petal Card die and uses the new Organza ribbon which I heated with a gun to get the curl effect. I also used the new Scallop Eyelet punch.
The other is using the Circle die and the Circle # 2 die for the Love Banner. I also used the Serif Die cut leters and our new 3 heart punch. I love that punch! I have this banner hanging on a window in my kitchen.
Inky Hugs, Sue
