Gumball Necklace, Box & Card!

Jacque — Mon, 30 Jan 2012 11:00:52 +0000

Remember when you were a kid and used to get the little candy necklaces?! I remember putting mine on (usually at a birthday party), taking little nibbles out of it, and trying to make it last as long as I could. Here's a fun project that your birthday girl (or boy) will love and will probably remember when they grow up too! Makes a cute little party favor too!

Summer Splash Too!

Jacque — Fri, 06 May 2011 15:00:41 +0000

Over on my Sisters in Stamping blog this Friday we are each showing a card or project using our personal favorites from the new Summer Mini Catalog! My favorite new set is the Summer Splash set on page 17!! Yesterday I posted the boy version of this card and here is my girl version! I'm going to get a lot of use from this set as I think it makes great kids' birthday cards. And not just the surfboards! Check back on Sunday when I'll post another kids' birthday card using the cute little turtle from this set! And I'm not done creating with this set! I still want to use the octopus and the fish and matching Fish Frenzy jumbo wheel!!

You probably can't tell from the picture, but I stamped the middle surfboard again on a scrap piece of Whisper White card stock, cut it out, and popped it off using a Stampin' Dimensional. I also added Dazzling Diamonds glitter to the girl version (I so wanted to add it to the boy version too, but didn't).
