It was a FUN kidz camp!

these are the cards the kids made at my kids camp yesterday! SO fun - the popsicle was the most popular!

Cupcake pocket card

Saw THIS CARD and decided I had to make it with my Stampin" Up! supplies! Can you see the glitter on the icing??? its a chocolate cupcake

ETA:

stamp the cupcake on close to cocoa.

stamp the icing on the dsp of your choice and cut out and attache to the close tot cocoa

stamp the cherry on scrap, color, cut out and attach brad and ribbon for the pull

the base/cupcake cup is 5.5 x 3.5, folded in half (this is celery)

I drew a light pencil line along the cocoa cupcake on top of celery and trimmed it diagonal a little wider to fit as a "wrapper". then I ran it trough the crimper

there is no adhesive on the celery. its held together by the pink ribbon.

Stamps: Simple Birthday Thanks

Paper: close to cocoa, celery, afternoon tea dsp
Ink: Chocolate chip, basic black

Accessories: ribbon, paper crimper, markers for coloring

SImply Scrappin gift ....part 4 of 5

This was a Mother's Day and 2 Teachers gifts this year. My Mom got 1 boxed set for Mothers Day (hers is pictured) and 2 lucky teachers got the others. Do you Remember the Secret Garden simply scrappin kit? I hoarded this! So beautiful I could not use it. Finally I had to just give in and use it!

You can get 3 of these box sets out of 1 simply scrappin kits if you are creative with your card decorations and embellishments

Box dimensions are the same as yesterday's post with the baby onsies. I took a scrap piece of card stock folded it, scored some "wings" and attached to to the box as a divider. I lined the box with matching designer paper to give it a "professional" finish and to hide the seams of the divider.

Stamps: Absolutely fabulous, Short and Sweet

Paper: Groovy Guava (retired), Always artichoke, Secret garden Simply scrappin (retired)

Ink: Artichoke, Guava
