3D Thursday - Floral Romance Easter Sweet Cups

So these are why the Sweet Cups were actually out... as I am keeping the Easter makes simple this year... but I just couldn't resist dressing one up for Mothers Day for yesterday's post...

So these are the Floral Romance Easter Sweet Cups... the simple version! And there have been a lot of these made in these parts!!!

Love these Sweet Cups for Easter as they hold a decent amount of chocolate mini eggs! But what will you put in yours?

Finishing decoration care of Well Said (HAPPY), More Than Words (Easter), Layering Circle dies, Stitched Shapes dies, 1 1/2" Circle Punch and Pear Pizzazz 3/8" Shimmer Ribbon or Very Vanilla Gold Edged 3/8" Ribbon...

And I am very happy to report that no Tombow glue showed through the vellum... though I did "scrape it out" using the thick end...

Wednesday WOW (Way of Working) with All Adorned - and a Tutorial ...

Another tip (or way of working!) for the lovely All Adorned stamp set greeting... let's make it even stronger in sentiment...

And how's about a mini step by step photo tutorial for you! For the Post It Note Cover Method of selectively inking a stamp... for those of you that like a name for things!! 

Cover the small words at the top with a post it note... so only BEST EVER words showing... 

 Ink up the "BEST EVER" words with your ink pad...

 Remove post it note...

And stamp...

So now we have... BEST EVER... MOTHER... well why not! 

MOTHER care of Thoughtful Banners... I just used a marker to just ink up the required word on the bottom-left sentiment... or FATHER in the one above will come in useful for my next classes...

                          

And more on this Sweet Cup project another day... 

Alternatively... you could ink up the BEST EVER using a marker pen too... but this way is easier... and quicker! And the "post it note cover method" would probably take the same amount of time for inking up the MOTHER part... 

Remember this lovely All Adorned stamp set is exclusively available for free with a £45 order during Sale A Bration... which ends this Sunday, 31st March... (which happens to be Mother's Day in the UK too)... so only for 4 more days!

Tuesday Tips for All Adorned stamps & Story Label punch

Just sharing a card and a few tips for the All Adorned stamp set (free with a £45 order during Sale A Bration) and the Story Label punch... as these products are now only available for a few more days... as Sale A Bration ends on this Sunday, 31st March

And I have Jane to thank for the brilliant idea of using the sentiment in this way! But more on that later... 

This was a panel I just "messed about with" during a class so that the ladies could see the stamp set in action... and it was an immediate hit... so I thought I should finish it off as a simple card for them... 

Simple Night of Navy stamping 4 corners and centre... with Lemon Lime Twist over-centre and small accent to top-bottom-left-right!

And embellishing was quick and simple... thanks to the Gingham Gala Self Adhesive Sequins and Happiness Blooms Enamel Dots... perfect colours!!

And now back to Jane's idea for the sentiment... so a couple of quick Top Tips for you... 

Firstly add a "family member name or FRIEND" and it then means so much more... as in "son" in this example... 

Care of Thoughtful Banners... which has a few family member names to go at...  and FRIEND too..

And a bonus quick tip for the Story Label punch... I have mentioned this before but I finally got round to taking a photo... just cut one punched shape in half horizontally (right to left) and stick on top and bottom for a coloured mat... 

You can also punch another... and cut in half vertically (bottom to top)....and then stick on left and right... but .... with this shape... I think it looks better just top and bottom!

And come back tomorrow for some more quick tips with your All Adorned stamp set...
