Treat Cup Class

I just love Stampin’ Up’s treat cups!  They come in 2 shapes, hearts and circles.  Here are 4 cards that we made at my Treat Cup Class.

The sunflower and the frog are completely CASED but I don’t recall who created them.  I saw the lion on SCS and gave him a different background using the Paradise stamp set.  And the moon card was my original idea. 

All of the cards have trap doors so that you can access the candy without ripping the card apart.  How sweet!

Workshop cards

We had a wonderful time at Barbara and Wilma’s workshop on Thursday, with 16 in attendance!  I featured the Sweet Pea Stitched Felt Flowers on page 32 in the Occasions mini catalog and the 2-Step Bird punch on page 10.  I saw some great ideas created by some very talented ladies and copied some of their cards to show at the workshop.  I don’t always remember where I found the idea, so I apologize for not giving credit where credit is due. 

It’s amazing what you can do with a bird punch!  Here is a card that I CASED from Ann over at www.annscreativemoments.com featuring a Heliconia and yes, it’s made with the bird punch! 

Unfortunately the card got thrown across the table and landed on a brown ink pad so there are some ink smudges that shouldn’t be there.  I haven’t had a chance to make a new one yet.

I also showed a card made by LeAnn Graff…

And a very cute card made with the Sweet Pea Stitched Felt Flowers.  This one uses the Ornament Punch for the vase.  If you’d like to order some of these felt flowers, head on over to my Stampin’ Up website at www.kristathomas.stampinup.net and place an order!  The Ornament Punch is still available even though it isn’t in any of Stampin’ Up’s current catalogs.  The write-in number is #116794, $15.95.
