Sunny and Sweet Treat

SDC11974_by_Petal_Pusher

This sunny bloom was originally created for the Splitcoaststampers Fan Club as part of my Dirty Dozen gig last fall.  You may have seen this 5 1/4 square card if you are a fan club member.  However, for many of you, it will be your first peek :)  This card was one of my favorite uses of a Stampin' Up! Sweet Treat Cup.

STAMPIN' PRETTY TIPS:
  • The petals are Large and Small Oval Punches of More Mustard card stock.  The edges were sponged in Chocolate Chip for depth.
  • I used a 1 3/4" Circle Punch to clip the base of each petal so it would fit around the Treat Cup.
  • Aren't the Chocolate only M & M's perfect?
  • The sentiment is from Bella's Bloom, one of the free stamp set options for qualifying Stampin' Up! Sale-A-Bration orders.  Click here for Sale-A-Bration details.
  • Don't forget the envies!  Stampin' Up! offers Sweet Treat Padded Envelopes (116911, $2.95 for 3 envelopes) to make sending a breeze.

Yesterday marked the opening of a new (and my last) Dirty Dozen Fan Club Gallery.  I have loved serving my six months with this talented group of paper crafting artists.  The latest theme is "Bold, Masculine and Dirty."  If you are a Fan Club member or wish to join, click here to see my new projects and the rest of the Dirty Dozen projects.

  1. I just love this card. So much so, I am doing it as M&T for our Autism Crop in April.
    Could you tell me the dimensions? I know it will not fit on a “normal” size card front.

    I went through your site and found so many lovely things. Thank you so much for sharing them!

  3. Amazing! I just love it! Wish I was the lucky recipient of the card! You just totally amaze me with your talent! How about a tutorial on making this? Seems others have questions too. Thanks so much for sharing. I just might have to get some of those little treat cups that I have been resisting. Love your March banner for your blog as well

    Hi Chris: Thank you so much for your feedback on the card. I’m a black eyed susan fanatic (remember them growing in the fields where I grew up).

    There really isn’t too much to teach for a tutorial . . . I used the 1 3/4″ Circle Punch on the ends of the petals to clip about 1/4″ (just eyeballed the same distance each time). Since the treat cup is designed to work with the 1 3/4″ Circle Punch, the arc on each petal was a perfect fit. I had to play a bit to get them spaced correctly . . . but all in all not too difficult.

    Hugs, Mary

  4. Mary: congrats on another beautiful card. When I tired the link to split coast stamper I received a message which stated I did not have permission to see the gallery. Any help would be appreciated.

    Hi Heather: The Fan Club gallery requires a small membership fee . . . that helps support Splitcoast. This is why the link isn’t working for you. You can either sign up or wait a few months, at which point I can share them with the public on my blog.

    Hugs, M

  5. Mary – I am so impressed not only with your beautiful card creation, but also your website – the green Shamrock and shamrocks in all the dots in your awning. I noticed the hearts last month and wasn’t sure if they had always been there! You are terrific!

  6. What a darling card, but how much of the petals do you punch with the 1 3/4 punch to fit around the cup. It seems like such a big punch to use. I know you use that size for the cup to fit in, but I am just confused on the petal part. If you get a chance, can you let me know.
    Thanks,
    Susan

    Hi Susan: I sure appreciate your kind words.

    I clipped about 1/4″ of the base of the petal with the 1 3/4″ punch. They fit perfectly around the treat cup. Hugs, M

  7. Beautiful use of the treat cup. Too bad you had to eat all the other M&M’s to get just the brown ones in there! šŸ˜‰ I love how the edges of the petals are inked, it looks so real. Inspiring as always Mary, thanks!
