Mini Pull Treat



This is a candy slider, just like the one from Valentine's Day, but I adjusted the measurements for the smaller snack size candy.

Here is a link to the directions (for the large size) if you need it again. http://www.splitcoaststampers.com/resources/tutorials/pull_treats

Rub-ons


Here is a great idea for a gift. It takes just a little paper, and it's an awesome way to show off those rub-ons.
I covered all the chocolate candies with paper and added a 3-D flower to the top. ( the picture really washes out the bamboo color but that what it is)





I sent the yellow one in for a contest, so we will see.
(the colors are Buttercup and Ponderosa Pine)

Wild Wednesday


Well, this has been harder than I thought. I ended up cheating this time (It's my thing and I can cheat if I want!!LOL!!)
Random Stamps-Solo 2 and Adorable Backgrounds. Random Color-Garnet added colors Blush & Sweetleaf.
So after I stamped it, I tried to add Sweet leaf, but it just didn't work.
Then the card was too plain, so I added the "Happy Anniversary"
saying.
Maybe I will have better luck next week.

it was_____lbs!!


This card is for a co-worker's birthday. I didn't put Happy Birthday on it, thinking he might re-use it, but who am I kidding!! He's just a college kid, so I'm sure it will get tossed it the trash once he removes the gift card.
Check back tomorrow for Wild Wednesday, as you will see this challenge is harder than I thought.

Sculpting Foam Directions

Here are the supplies that you need. The white sheet is the backing to stickers or you can use transparency. Anything that will release the sculpting foam well.Get a small amount of foam and role it into a ball. Then place it on the release sheet. I then spay the block with the stamp cleaner to help the foam release from the block, you can also use baby powder if you like the foam more dry.
Press the foam with the block firmly.


Then I use the brayer to roll the foam out as thin or as thick as I need. (adding a little cleaner to the brayer helps too)

Once again I use the cleaner for release on the stamp.


Press the stamp firmly into the sculpting foam. If you mess up start over!!
At this point I let the foam dry just awhile, about 5 minutes. To the point of it's still some what wet, but more dry. (Is that clear as mud?). I then use a metal edge (you could use a knife too) to cut the foam into a square. Be sure to use the grid on the mat to line it up so the square is strait. (or it will look like this one in the picture the is lop-sided.)


After it dries add ink to the raised edges. Be careful it can tear when it is dry. I like to glue mine down with regular adhesive, but you could use glue dots if you are worried about tearing it.


So the Correct answer is....
