Sale-a-Bration

It has been a while since I posted. I have been working on entries for Stampin' Up! Demonstrator contests. Here are some projects from my Sale-a-Bration event:

Valentine's Candy

The jar is an empty Starbuck's Frappachino. The top was embellished with ribbon and several punched circles to cover the printing on the lid. The stamps used are Simply Said & Happy Heart Day. The pink gingham ribbon works nicely with Valentine's Day projects.

Notice the snow on the window sill. It is snowing here again - I can't see across the street right now. It's a great day for stamping :)

Tea Bag Folding:

Double Sided Designer Series Paper works great for this type of technique.

You can get the directions for this technique at http://www.cardsandcrafts.freeservers.com/dahlia.html

Paper Candles

This card was CASED but unfortunately I have forgotten where I saw it - Thanks to the original creator for sharing the inspiration.

The candles on this card were made with Designer Series Paper (2" high) and then matted on Chocolate Chip cardstock. The sentiment is from Happy Everything. The flame on the candle is the leaf image from the stamp set Time Well Spent (This is a Level 3 Hostess Set). You could also use the leaf from Bud Basics. The wide Chocolate Chip satin ribbon is from the Theatre collection.

How do I get a perfect "V" cut on the ribbon?

A: Fold the ribbon in half and then make one diagonal cut from the outside edges of the ribbon downwards to the centre of the ribbon. Open and you have a perfect "V".
