AUTHOR: Heather Wright-Porto TITLE: Mother's Day Project (Paint Can Filled with Goodies) DATE: 4/18/2008 05:14:00 PM ----- BODY:

Here is a project I created with a friend, fellow demonstrator of mine (who prefers not to be mentioned) some time ago. It uses one of my favorite sets, Roses In Winter, although it is retired now (still can't believe it). Any floral set would look GREAT though!

All of the "goodies" - the Card, post-it notes block, 2 pens, and Candle/Coaster all fit inside the can!

Stamps

Roses in Winter
Any greeting set can be used -- for Mother's Day instead of Happy Birthday

Paper

Pretty in Pink
Rose Red
So Saffron (or Barely Banana)

Inks

Stampin' Up! Accessories

Cord
Cello bags (Large) for the Candle
Cello bags (Med/Small) for the Post-it block
SNAIL adhesive
Stampin' Dimensionals
Clear microbeads (on pens, held with Sticky Tape)

Non-Stampin' Up! Accessories

Paint Can -- Home Depot or Oriental Trading
Post-it block -- Michael's, Staples, Oriental Trading or other craft or office store
Tile (coaster) -- Home Depot (in a box of 8-10)
R.S.V.P pens -- Staples
Sheer green ribbon

Technique: Two Step and Stamp-Off

This project, although it contains a lot of pieces, is relatively easy. Basically you are just two-step stamping on everything with the Roses In Winter stampset: Big roses (Pretty in Pink base, Rose Red 2nd layer (but with Stamp-off so it's faded), center is just Rose Red; Leaves, stamp off the base in Mellow Moss, then simply stamp Mellow Moss for outline/2nd layer.

Suzanne DATE:4/29/2008 02:23:00 PM Hi! I'm Suzanne, found you by way of a comment on SUDSOL. I'm a 3 year fan of SU! and a new demonstrator. Just placed my 1st month order this morning. Exciting. You have some beautiful ideas. I had our stamp club yesterday and found white paper CD holders, stamped them with rose red/regal rose using the pretty peony set. Filled with a large cookie wrapped in plastic wrap, addd a piece of scrapbook paper in the background, added some ribbon to the top and gave as a gift for the ladies for joining the club...simple and they loved it! ----- --------
