The Candy Hearts are such a talented group. I love it when I get to show off projects they’ve made. Today I’m thrilled to share with you a Mini Treat Bag made by guest stamper, Judy Newsome, of LaFayette, GA. Isn’t it spectacular?
Judy used the Mini Treat Bag Framelits to cut the bag out of Have a Cuppa Designer Series Paper. She used the same die set to cut the hearts out of a strip of Wisteria Wonder card stock, backed it with Whisper White card stock, and adhered it to the bag.
She stamped the images from the A Nice Cuppa stamp set in Wisteria Wonder onto Whisper White card stock, and cut them with the Cups & Kettle Framelits.
She adhered the larger image to the bag with Stampin’ Dimensionals.
She tied a bow with Wisteria Wonder 1/2″ Seam Binding Ribbon, tied on the tag and a spoon from the Have A Cuppa Embellishments, then adhered it to the bag with a glue dot.
She cut White Filter Paper with Fringe Scissors for inside the bag.
A huge thanks to Judy for allowing me to share her work on my blog. Check back to see more projects from this talented papercrafter.

Today I’m sharing the fourth and final project from my A Nice Cuppa Bundle Class. It’s a Fry Box holding a treat of herbal tea bags.
I cut the box from Wisteria Wonder card stock with the Fry Box Bigz L Die, then assembled it with Multipurpose Liquid Glue.
I cut a piece of Have a Cuppa Designer Series Paper with the same die, trimmed it, and glued it into the box.
I cut the teapot from another piece of Have a Cuppa DSP, and the heart from Whisper White card stock, using the Cups & Kettle Framelits Dies. I glued the pieces onto the front of the box.
I put some herbal tea bags in a 4×6 Cellophane Bag and tied it with a piece of Bermuda Bay 1/8″ Stitched Ribbon.

Today I’m sharing yet another project from my A Nice Cuppa Bundle Class. This card has a little surprise inside. I CASEd this card from Maria Fennelly of Maria’s Creative Place.
The card base is Crushed Curry card stock, with a Bermuda Bay layer, and a piece of Have a Cuppa Designers Series Paper on top of that.
The top panel is Whisper White card stock with the image stamped in Wisteria Wonder, then matted on Melon Mambo card stock.
Here’s the surprise: a pop up tea cup on a saucer and doily.
Fold a Tea Lace Paper Doily in half and adhere it to the inside of the card base, lining up the doily’s fold with the score line of the card.
Using the Cups & Kettle Framelits, cut two cups (one from Bermuda Bay card stock and one from the DSP) and one heart from Whisper White card stock. Put adhesive along the top edge of one of the cups. Stick the bottom tip of the heart onto it, then stick on the other cup, lining the two cups up with each other. You now have two cups stuck together along the top with the heart shaped steam coming out, but not stuck together at the bottom.
For the saucer, cut a piece of Bermuda Bay card stock with the 2-3/8″Scalloped Circle Punch. Fold it in half. Using Paper Snips, cut two slits into the piece, perpendicular to the fold. Then cut a slit along the fold between the two cuts. Fold up the two little flaps.
Adhere one flap to the inside of each of the cups. This will make the cup stand up. Now fold the saucer in half and adhere it onto the doily. The whole thing will now fold flat inside the card, and the cup will stand up when the card is open.
The rest of the sentiment is stamped directly onto the card base interior in Melon Mambo ink.

Today I’m sharing another card from my A Nice Cuppa Bundle Class.
The card base is Pear Pizzazz card stock. It has a Whisper White layer below a layer of Have a Cuppa Designer Series Paper.
On a strip of Pear Pizzazz CS I stamped the sentiment from the Enjoy the Little Things stamp set in Versamark ink. I then heat embossed it in white.
On a piece of Whisper White CS, I stamped the tea cup in Pear Pizzazz. I used my Paper Piercing Tool and Piercing Mat to poke a tiny hole at the top of the cup. I then threaded a piece of Whisper White Bakers Twine through the hole. This is easily done using a floss threader (available at most stores that sell toothbrushes and floss.) I adhered the twine to the back of the card stock.
I stamped the tag in Wisteria Wonder on Whisper White CS and cut it with the Cups & Kettle Framelits. I glued the exposed piece of twine down the center of the back of the tag. I then cut a Stampin’ Dimensional in half and put a piece on each side of the twine, then adhered the tag to the cup.
I used the Project Life Corner Punch to round the top left and lower right corners of every piece of paper on the card, including the card base. All the pieces are glued together except the piece with the teacup and the tag, which were attached with Stampin’ Dimensionals.

I recently held a Bundle Class using A Nice Cuppa stamp set + Cups & Kettle Framelits Dies bundle.
Today I’m sharing one of the projects from that class: a slider card. When you pull the slider up, the lid lifts off the teapot to reveal the sentiment. This example is in Pink Pirouette and Melon Mambo. I CASEd this card from Catherine Carroll at Ideas Inkorporated.
For the slider, cut 1 piece of card stock 4.75 x 2.5. Cut ¼” in from sides, from the top down to ¼” from the bottom. Punch the top with the Scalloped Tag Topper Punch.
Cut 2 pieces of card stock 3.5 x 4.25 each. Cut one piece from 1/4″ to down to 2-1/2″(1” from each side.) Then cut across this area 2-1/2” down. This creates a flap.
Score across the flap at 1/4”, 1-5/16”, and 2-3/8” from the top. The Stampin’ Trimmer makes all this very easy, since you can trim and score without having to change blades.
Put adhesive along both sides and the bottom. Put glue on the tiny bottom piece of the scored center flap and glue slider in place. Put adhesive on sides beside the bottom of the flap, and along the top as far in as the slider. This is to keep the slider moving up and down, and not side to side, and to keep it from pulling out to far.
Adhere the other (solid) large piece to the back. Be sure you can move the slider up and down.
Stamp on slider bottom area. Here I’ve stamped the heart in the lighter color and the sentiment in the darker color.
Cut the teapot and lid from Have a Cuppa Designer Series Paper Stack with the Cups & Kettle Framelits Dies. Glue the teapot onto the card and the lid onto the slider, meeting at the bottom score line on the slider. Be careful not to put glue under the very top of the teapot, so it won’t stick to the slider.
Stamp hearts on the card front in Melon Mambo. Tie the ribbon through the tag top. Adhere the whole thing to the front of a Melon Mambo card base. You have the inside of the card base to write a note.

Mar 27, 2016 | Cards, Challenges, Color Palette, CYCI, Occasions |
This week CYCI has a color challenge:
Here’s my card:
As soon as I saw this color palette, I knew I had to make a masculine birthday card. It came together really fast. The card base is Night of Navy card stock. The next layer up is Kraft Corrugated Paper – on the back I attached lots of Smoky Slate and Basic Gray pieces I cut with the Banner Punch. All the pieces are the same size, but I staggered them on the back to make them look longer or shorter.
I stamped the sentiment from the Perfect pairings stamp set in Night of Navy on Smoky Slate CS. I notched the end with the Banner Triple Punch.
I added some Candy Dots in Night of Navy, Basic Gray, and Smoky Slate. Done!
Be sure to check out all the great projects at canyoucaseit.com this week, and play along with us by posting your own project!

Happy Easter!
I hope your baskets are full of goodies today. I just had to share this photo that I found on Pinterest of eggs decorated as gumball machines. They’re very similar to my logo! Malissa & Machelle from A Joyful Riot did such a great job. Click here to see how they made them.
