February Stamp Club

Sorry it's been quiet around here. Our family took a much needed vacation in the middle of this frigid winter and headed to the sunny south. But we're back! And the count down to spring is on! 

I had intended to share these projects before I left, but time got away from me. These were our February Stamp Club projects and they made great Valentines gifts. Even though Valentine's Day is over, I hope you can still find some inspiration in these projects.

Here are the directions for the card:

·         Fold card base in half and adhere Pink Pirouette and Typeset Specialty DSP.

·         Cut In Color Patterned paper using Banners Framelit Die.

·         Stamp background design using either Chalk Ink or Cotton White StazOn and cut it out using coordinating Chalk Talk Framelit.

·         Stamp Grateful sentiment using either Chalk Ink or Cotton White StazOn and punch out using the Extra Large Oval punch.

·         Adhere banner and background image. Add oval sentiment using Dimensionals.

·         Stamp design from Because You Care stamp set on Very Vanilla card stock and adhere inside card.

I got the idea for this Hershey's Kiss holder from Connie Stewart on her blog. You can see her original idea along with a how-to video HERE. I typed up the directions below the picture.

Hershey’s Kisses Treat Holder

·         Start with Pink Pirouette cut to 4 ¼” x 5”. Score, with 5” side on top, at 1 ¼”, 2 ½” and 3 ¾”.

·         Fold Pink Pirouette in half and punch folded side with Decorative Label Punch.

·         Lay the Pink Pirouette flat and stamp using Raspberry Ripple. Be sure to change your direction on what will be the back half of the box.

·         Score your Window Sheet (cut to 2 ½” x 2 ½”) in half at 1 ¼”.

·         Fold in half using the Bone Folder.

·         Put a Glue Dot in each corner and adhere it to the Pink Pirouette card stock.

·         Use SNAIL adhesive to adhere 5 Hershey’s Kisses to inside bottom flap.

·         Add SNAIL to the front flap and adhere under the tent so there is no cut edge on the front of the box.

·         Tie the 12” Baker’s Twine around the treat holder.

·         Adhere Raspberry Ripple, cut to 1 ½” x 4 ½”, to the bottom of the treat holder.
