Hey Love lollipop treat holder

I put together these treat holders after seeing a video by Darcy of Rejoice and Create.  You can check out her video over on YouTube.  I decided to use up some retired Designer Series Paper I had on hand.  I made up 34 lollipop holders.  I then decorated them with the Hey Love stamp set by Stampin’ Up! using the skunk and crocodile (or alligator) from the set.  I colored them using my Stampin’ Blends markers (which I absolutely love).  Colors used are Balmy Blue combo, Lovely Lipstick light, Granny Apple Green combo, Basic Black combo, Smokey Slate light and Ivory markers.  I fussy cut out each critter and mounted on a heart cut with the Be Mine Stitched framelits in Real Red.  The sentiment is also from Hey Love and stamped in Momento tuxedo black ink on Whisper White as are the critters.

Here is a closer look at the critters.  To ensure I didn’t lose the facial features of the skunk, I used the Stamperatus to stamp each skunk on a square piece of cardstock big enough to stamp four by rotating the cardstock then stamping until all four were on the cardstock.  I then colored each skunk and after I was finished coloring, I put the squares back on my Stamperatus and restarted each skunk, thereby ensuring the facial features were not lost in the coloring.  It also gave more definition to the body.

Hey Love You card

Today’s project features the Hey Love stamp set, Be Mine Stitched framelits and Well Written framelits.  I love all three of these products!  They are available in the Occasions catalog which runs until June 3, 2019.  I started with a card base of Flirty Flamingo and added a layer of Whisper White. The large heart and the open heart border piece are both cut with the Be Mine Stitched framelits dies out of Lovely Lipstick. Inside the heart border piece I added three Heart Epoxy Droplets which I colored with my Flirty Flamingo marker.  I stamped the ape from Hey Love in Momento Tuxedo black ink and colored him with my Stampin’ Blend markers in Basic Black light and dark, light Flirty Flamingo, light Smokey Slate and Ivory.  The works love and you are cut from the new Well Written framelits dies.  There are 24 dies in this set and they are a must have.  When combined with the Well Said stamp set of 51 cling stamps, you can make just about any card and add an inside saying for any occasion.  When you purchase these together in a bundle, you will save 10% and through March 31, you will earn a free Sale-a-Bration item when you purchase the bundle.  What an awesome deal!  Are you wondering how I made them look like an epoxy sticker?  I first adhered a piece of Basic Black cardstock to a piece of multipurpose adhesive sheet then die cut with the love and you dies.  I then brushed them with Wink of Stella and then added a layer of fine tip glue to them and let them dry.  This provided me with a sticker that looks like I purchased it from the store.

For the inside of the card, I used a sentiment from Hey Love then added another from the Meant to Be stamp set.  The scalloped hearts are from the Be Mine Stitched framelits and the center heart is stamped from Meant to Be and cut out again with the Be Mine Stitched framelits.
