Petal Cone Carrot

Happy Friday to you! It is going to be a beautiful warm day here in Missouri and I can't wait. I love Spring and Summer and with Easter right around the corner I have a little treat holder to share with you. I only used the Petal Cone Die and the Teeny Tiny Wishes Stamp Set for this project well and some card stock, Baker's Twine and Adhesive but it really came together quickly. The "carrot" is cut out with Pumpkin Pie Card Stock and then folded and sealed along the edge creating a pocket for our treats. I cut out two Lucky Limeade Scallop Pieces (also on the die) and on the front one I cut between every other scallop to give it a more dimensional look. That was attached to the back flap of the carrot and the front flap was folded down. There is a banner on the die also and I cut one out and then cut it in half and stamped the Happy Easter in Basic Gray and attached it to the carrot with the Lucky Limeade Baker's Twine and a Glue Dot to hold it in place. I filled these with chocolate bunnies and sold these at the Ladies Day Out at the YWCA. If you need a few treat containers these they are quick and easy and I still have a few leftover that if you are local I would be happy to sell you either with or without the candy. Thank you for stopping by today and remember that there is only a week left to Sale-a-brate! Tonya

Petal Cone Santa

Hello again, I hope you have taken a moment to look over the Online Extravaganza. On a recent blog hop I noticed a cute little Santa that was made with the Petal Cone and just knew that I need to share it with my club ladies. I made some changes to Santa by using some different supplies but the basic idea is the same. You can see my inspiration at Goin' Over the Edge. I wanted to share him with you today because the Petal Cone Die that I used to make him is on sale right now during out Online Extravaganza for just $23.07. This is 30% off and if you don't own a Big Shot it is also on sale but for today only. The additional supplies need for Santa are: Real Red Card Stock, Whisper White Card Stock, Basic Black Card Stock, Pink Pirouette Card Stock, Silver Glimmer Paper, Ribbon Slides, Googlie Eyes, Basic Pearls, Itty Bitty Shapes Punch Pack, Scallop Oval, 2 3/8" Scallop Circle and the Bird Builder Punch. He would be great filled with candy and given to a special someone as a fun treat and is easy enough for kids to help make. If you would like to purchase the supplies for Santa please contact me and I will be happy to help you with you order. Thanks for stopping by and have a great day, Tonya

Petal Cone Carrot

Good morning, I love the versatility of the Petal Cone Die and I sure hope it is in the new catalog in July. Carrots have been popping up all over the internet and I just had to give it a try. This will be one of the projects that we are making at my Easter Class which is coming up next month. The Carrot is made from Pumpkin Pie Card Stock that has been run through the Big Shot to add texture then sponged with the Pumpkin Pie Classic Ink and a Sponge. The cute little bunny is from the Forest Friends Stamp Set which you can get for FREE with a $50 purchase now through March 31. I inked the bunny with the Basic Gray Classic Ink Pad then wiped his nose off with a cotton swap and reinked it with Pretty in Pink Stampin' Write Marker and stamped it on Very Vanilla Card Stock. Below the bunny I stamped Happy Easter from the Teeny Tiny Wishes Stamp Set in with the Old Olive Classic Ink Pad. I used the 1 3/4" Circle Punch to punch out the Bunny. That was layered on an Old Olive Scallop Circle that was made with the Pennant Bigz XL Die. To finish up the carrot I used the Little Leaves Sizzlit Die and cut three of leaves from Old Olive Card Stock. To attach it to the top of the Petal Cone Die I used another Old Olive Scallop Circle that had a hole in the center for the stems to feed through I then attached the scallop circle to the top of the petal cone with Dotto as it is a repositionable adhesive which make it easy to remove to get the candy out without tearing up the carrot. You can order all the supplies to make this project online or just give me a call and I will be happy to help you place your order. Don't forget that I have Blog Candy to be given away on Friday. If you haven't left me a comment on that post then please take a moment to do so. Thanks for stopping by and have a great day, Tonya

Paper Snip Keepers

Hello, and good evening! I had some time to create today and I really enjoyed it. The best part is that I have lots of ideas ready to make more things to share with you. I just need to find more time in the day to complete them all. I have seen several pouches made with the new Petal Cone Die and as I looked at it I saw a cute little pouch for my Paper Snips. I made the card stock pouch first then thought it would look extra cute in fabric so back to creating and after completing the fabric one I love it! It is just so darn cute and tomorrow I will be making another one out of our Springtime Vintage Fabric. I can't wait to see how it turns out and will share it with you after I am done.
First the Card Stock Pouch, the pouch is made with Early Espresso Card Stock and Tangerine Tango. I added some Sweet Stitches Designer Series Paper to the front of the pouch and then added a Daffodil Delight Button on the front. I used Sticky Strip to hold the pouch together and to hold the front flap down. The Paper Snips fit inside and look so cute.

Now for the fabric pouch which I like even more and can see myself making a bunch off. I used some scrap fabric that I had out on my table (notice that it matches yesterday's post) and cut out two Petal Cones from the fabric and one from a cotton batting. It is important to make sure when cutting your fabric that you have one with the pattern up and one with the pattern down so that you can put the two pieces together. Ask me how I discovered this. ;) I made a sandwich of fabric with right sides out and the batting in the middle. I stitched around the edge then folded the Petal Cone and tucked the flap in and stitched up the open side. I added a retired Kiwi Kiss Corduroy Button to the flap to hold it done and add a little more interest to the pouch. The Paper Snips fit a little better in this pouch and I think it would look great next to my sewing area. That is if I had a sewing area. Maybe someday when I get more organized. I do think my Scissors will be easier to find with this bright pouch to keep them in. If you were the type that sews a lot and need to have your scissors hand you could add a ribbon and wear them around your neck.
I have added a picture of the two side by side for comparison. Neither took very long to make. There are so many uses for the Petal Cone die and I have only just started using it. If you haven't purchased yours you can do so online or by call me to place your order. Of course if you all ready have a demonstrator then give her/him a call I am sure they would love to help you too.
Thanks for stopping by tonight and I hope to have a new post for you tomorrow. Have a great evening, Tonya

A few More Petal Cones

Good afternoon, I wanted to share a few more of the petal cone projects that we made for Valentine's Day. These were more gifts for the teachers and are similar to the previous one I showed you except we closed them into the cone shape. I provided a close up of the flowers. You can see the shimmer in them and they are so much fun to make. I really love how they turned out. I am currently working on a card that is almost finished and will be ready to show soon. The warm weather is making a tough to stay inside, so projects are taking a little longer.
Don't forget that there is still time to schedule your Sale-a-bration workshop or to place your order and receive the a free stamp set. Just give me a call. Sorry this is short but I have tax info to get ready too and while I don't enjoy getting it together it does have to be done. Thanks for stopping by and have a great weekend, Tonya

Petal Cone Treat

Good morning! Today is a less busy day for our family and I hope to get some stamping time in before the kids get out of school. I do still have a few projects to share with you from yesterday and our busy weekend of creating. This treat container was for one of my sons' teachers and it was inspired by the February Stampin' Success. Stampin' Success is a great magazine that all demonstrators receive each month with ideas and business tips. Don't forget that Sale-a-bration is a great time to start your own Stampin'UP! business. Okay back to the treat. I used the Petal Cone Die and cut it out in Riding Hood Red and the half scallops in Early Espresso. I used Sticky Strip to adhere the two sides but instead of making it a cone I left it flat and made this cute heart. I stamped a heart from the I {heart} Hearts Stamp Set in Riding Hood Red and cut it out by hand before attaching it to the Petal Cone with Stampin' Dimensionals. The Happy Valentine's Day is from the Teeny Tiny Wishes Stamp Set and was stamped with Early Espresso on Very Vanilla Card Stock then punched out with the Word Window Punch. To add a little extra wow to the Petal Cone I made a flower from Pink Pirouette Card Stock and the Scallop Circle #2 Die. I cut out four of the larger Scallop Circle and then sprayed each with Shimmer Mist (made with Shimmer Paint and Rubbing Alcohol)
