Tag Archives: Tart and Tangy Stamp set from Stampin’ Up

Thank You Berry Much!

Posted on August 8, 2011 by apieceoflifespie

I had to make a slew of cards the other night and I came up with an easy yet cute card that went super quick.  I may add this to my Christmas gift packs.  I got the original idea from My Pink Stamper in one of her tutorial videos making a cherry card and I have run with it since.  Thank you MPS!   If you have not had a chance to check out her videos, they are worth pouring yourself a cup of joe, adding a little “rat poison” (that is what I call my favorite creamers I tell my hubby that I am just taking off the bad years while I pour that into my cup of joe) and sit a spell and enjoy getting some neat ideas and tips.

Fun Way to Say Thank You, Happy Birthday or Just Because!

Posted on July 8, 2011 by apieceoflifespie

I just borrowed something from a friend and wanted to make sure to let her know that I was really appreiative of what she loaned me.  I made this quick card and added a little sweet treat to it as a THANK YOU! I got the card idea from one of my favorite craft bloggers, Pink Stamper. 

Supplies Needed:

White Tin Box (found at Michael’s for $2.99)

I found blank cards with envelopes in the dollar bin (8 pack) at Michael’s that I used as my base.

Stampin’ Up Tart and Tangy stamp set (I used the Cherry) – I found this via Stampin’ Up, but it is being discontinued – Ebay has some

Paper was Rock-a-bye Design from Stampin’ Up from 2008.  I found packs still being sold on Ebay.  I LOVE THIS PAPER!!!!!!!!!!!!!

The scallop I used was from Cricut cartridge Storybook (Shadow setting – Letter M).  I set it at 2 inches.

For the candy I used Skittles.

For the color of the stamp, I used Martha Stewart’s Craft markers – they worked perfectly and I got to use a 50% coupon on it – even better!
