Pick a red, any red! That’s the new Pals Paper Arts Color Challenge (PPA128), perfect timing with Valentine’s Day on the horizon. Use red in any way on a card, upload to a blog or public gallery (for example, Splitcoaststampers) and share the link on the Pals Paper Arts challenge blog. Perhaps you’ll be selected as one of the PPA Design Team Top Picks! Check out our picks from the last challenge.
The ?ber easy candy holder was created using the Stampin’ Up! Labels Collections Framelits and a few tips from Shelli Gardner (CEO and Co-Founder of Stampin’ Up!) at Leadership last month. I tucked in a candy bar wrapped in Everyday Enchantment Designer Series Paper (exclusive to the Sale-A-Bration Promotion). As an alternative, you could use a cello bag and fill with candy, little love notes, heart confetti–HAVE FUN AND EXPERIMENT!
This 1 Minute to WOW! Video Tutorial is a little over 4 minutes long . . . however, the process of creating the two pieces for the holder takes less than a minute. Decorate to your “heart’s” delight!
Yes, I cropped the 1/2″ Poppy Parade circles for the back, too!
My wheels began to spin with ideas and I came up with a little “doctor’s bag” to hold a get well treat. I cropped the handle with the Stampin’ Up! Large Oval Punch. Basic Black Textured Paper gives a “leather finish” . . . but embossing Basic Black card stock with the Stampin’ Up! Square Lattice Textured Impressions Embossing Folder (119976) would be a very “impressive” option, too!
The sweet little 3 x 3 card is a splashy way to add a romantic message. I cropped the front at 2 3/8″. I used one of the Hearts Collection Framelits Dies, new in the Stampin’ Up! Occasions Mini Catalog, to produce the patterned (largest) heart.
