Fun with my Sweethearts

We had so much fun at our April team meeting! We do this every couple of months to make sure everyone stays up to date on everything Stampin’ Up and, of course, to have fun! All five of my downlines were able to attend. Also a dear friend and avid Stampin’ Up user, Sharon, was visiting from Tennessee and was able to join us. Brian King was able to stop by for a while, and he brought a wonderful giveaway prize – Chalkboard Banner Simply Created Kit and Build A Banner Simply Created Kit – which the lovely Marion won.

The Sweethearts: Marion, Angel, Candy, Debbie, Judy, Margie (Don’t you just love Debbie’s “Stamp Junkie” shirt?)

Here are a few snapshots from our meeting:

Brian gave me this beautiful card

Don’t you just love it when someone snaps a photo of you while you’re talking and you come out looking like this? But you can see all the fun chaos we had going on.

These are the treats I put at each Sweetheart’s place setting. Inside the Polka Dot Tag a Bag Gift Bag are a pack of Candy Dots and an In Color Accessory Pack from the recent Sale-a-Bration. The large Rich Razzleberry butterfly was cut using the Butterflies Thinlit Dies. I used wax paper to help them pop out of the die more easily. I thought the wax paper butterlies were so pretty, I used them on the bags as well. The small butterfly was cut using the Elegant Butterfly Punch, then it and a piece of Whisper White Seam Binding Ribbon were stapled on with the Handheld Stapler, positioning the staple to be the body of the butterfly.

The sweethearts candies fit perfectly in a 1″ x 8″ Cellophane Bag. I used stamps from the Groovy Love stamp set to stamp a Pink Pirouette heart with Pistachio Pudding sentiment. I cut it using the Sweetheart Punch. I punched another heart from a piece of Pistachio Pudding paper out of the 2013-2015 In Color Background DSP Stack. Then I stapled both hearts to the top of the bag.

I decorated bottles of water with each person’s initials. I cut Pink Pirouette card stock to size, then stamped the initials in Melon Mambo with the Larger Than Life Alphabet stamp set. I used the Gorgeous Grunge stamp set to create Tempting Turquoise speckles. Then I used the Hearts Border Punch along the top and bottom edges. I attached the labels with a piece of Sticky Strip at each end.
