If you enjoy making treats for teachers, friends, classmates, etc, you must get the fancy favors die before it retires in a week. Here is one treat box I made for my daughter's music teacher. I used the same masking technique here as I did with the butterfly last week. Click here to see that video. Instead of a background stamp, I used our music note stampin around wheel.
Supplies: Stamp Set: Music note wheel Paper: White, calypso coral Ink: Baja breeze, island indigo Tools: Big Shot, fancy favors die, butterfly punch, 1" circle punch, blossoms punch Accessories: soda pop top, SAB buttons, calypso coral bakers twine, basic pearls
As a demo, I rarely get the hostess sets, but this one just spoke to me. This set will be gone very soon :(

Now here is a digital version using the same images. It was so much fun to make.

My sweet baby girl just turned 3 this week and she is in love with Minnie Mouse. You saw the invitation I created with MDS. Here is one of the gifts I made.
It's the same Minnie Mouse from her invitation just using circle punch images. The white highlighting is just a white circle underneath the black ones. I used the mirror image option so I could print it on an iron on sheet. The hat has the butterfly punch filled with Melon Mambo DSP and a "K" in cursive on the bottom. TA-DA!!
FYI...There are 2 cards and 2 videos in this post :)
I'm sitting here with my Mom and Dad who came to visit me this weekend. I have been biting at the bit to teach her about My Digital Studio. So, I just showed her how to take this paper butterfly card and do the same thing digitally. She says she was very impressed. She's an effervescer by nature. We pop like soda, she and I :)
Just on another note, my dear stamping friend, Moe, accosted me the other day very concerned that I was going digital. I had to admit that I was getting a little wrapped up in it. It's been around for years so why I'm picking now to get all pumped about it, not quite sure. Anyway, I was reminded that the majority of my stamp circle is still paper and ink. I usually get down on SU! this time of year just waiting for the new products to come out. I need new stuff. Finally got my catalog this week and, Moe, I am so excited to start paper crafting again. I've seen some really pretty stuff and can't wait to show it to you. I digress...
Here is what I wanted to show you today.
Supplies: Stamp Set: En Francais Paper: White, Real Red Ink: Baja Breeze, Island Indigo Tools: Owl punch (heart), Big Shot, Beautiful Wings die Accessories: Basic pearls
I posted this card several weeks ago. It was featured by the home office. It's called Reverse Masking and here is the video again to show you how to do it.
So, now that you are all educated about Reverse Masking, here is my digital take on this same card.
In MDS, the butterfly image is listed under punches. Making this card was much easier digitally, but in my opinion, not as affective. Now, I do not know how to mask using MDS yet, but I do know how to do something really cool. It's called "attach to shape". I had my mom recite one of her favorite hymns and I put it into a textbox. Then, I attached it to the butterfly punch. I'll dig around and see if I can figure out how to get the same effect as the paper masking. This was the best I could do with the knowledge I have right now. I did add a blue mat around it just so it could be seen better on this white background.
Be sure to check out this Video from Heather Summers on how to do this technique on MDS. Visit her blog, she is a great resource for MDS techniques.

I have very fond memories of my Mimi teaching me how to cross stitch. I got really good at it, but if you share the love of this past time with me, you remember those moments when you got off by 1 X, but didn't realize it till you changed colors several hours later :) Then you had to take out lots of hours of your work. Sorry....total run on sentence there. I think every young lady should have to learn how to cross stitch. I tried to have a mom and me class, but couldn't get the interest. I used to cross stitch for hours on long car trips to Gram's house. With the technology explosion, cross stitching has really taken a backseat to everything. If you'd like to join with me in my efforts to bring cross stitching back, get our Sweet Threads Bundle before it retires at the end of the month. If you don't have a young lady in your life, get one of these, prop the lazy boy up and enjoy the memories of your childhood.
