Hershey Slider's

When I first joined Stampin' Up in 2010, this was the first swap I ever made for our team swap.  Well, not this specific one, but the slider concept!  I remember it being a lot harder to make back then, but I was so new to paper crafting, it probably just blew my little mind!  Ha ha!

Then I saw this recently done by Angie Leach, I just knew I had to make them again.  These are SO FAST and easy to do!


Start with a piece of All My Love Designer Series Paper.  If your pattern needs to be a certain direction, be sure that you cut it with the short side across the top and the long side is the long side.

The measurements are 6" wide and 7 1/2" long.
Score along the top at 1 1/2" and 4"


Fold along the score lines.


Don't look too closely at the picture below except to follow the words, not the example!  Add a piece of Tear and Tape down ONE SIDE and across the bottom.


Fold over the side that does NOT have the Tear and Tape.  Fold over the other side and making sure it is lined up nice and straight, making a pouch.  


Use your bone folder to give the tape a nice tight seal.


Punch a 1/4" circle punch in the center of the top of the pouch.


Cut a piece of ribbon 18" long.  I used our Berry Burst 3/8" Metallic-Edge Ribbon, but you can use anything you have that works with the paper you are using.

Thread it through both holes and leave it open. 


Add the Hershey Bar into the pouch as it pushed down the ribbon to the bottom.


Tie the ribbon into a double know.  When you pull up on the ribbon, the Hershey Bar will slide up as well.  No need to untie the knot, simply slide the candy out and you can slide another one back in.


Decorate the outside with stamps from Hey Love or any products of your choosing.  I decided to use the cute gator, or is that a croc?  Hmmmm.


Thank you for looking in today!  Happy Thursday - I can smell the weekend from here!

Otter Love

Valentine's Day will be here before we know it, so it's time to get working on more Valentine Cards!

Today's card is a quick and easy one, mostly because Monday was a very stressful day.   Besides waking up with a bit of a fever and feeling yucky, we also have an old dog who hurt his knee pretty badly on Friday night.  He has a torn cruciate ligament, which is going to require surgery.  So off to the vet we went for a 2nd appointment (he went first thing Saturday morning also) and to see what our options are.  The vet feels like he still has some good years ahead, so we've decided to go ahead with the surgery.  Thankfully we've been going to this vet for 22 years and she's willing to work with us on payments.  Thank God for good people that will do this, otherwise, there would be no way to manage it.

On to the card!  Like I said, quick and easy and CUTE!

Recipe:
Real Red - 5 1/2" x 8 1/2", scored and folded at 4 1/4"
Whisper White - 4" x 5 1/4" (inside and out)
Real Red - scrap for sentiment

Stamps - Hey Love
Ink - Memento Black, VersaMark
Stampin' Blends - Soft Suede Combo, Crumb Cake Combo, Pool Party Combo, Cherry Cobbler Combo and Ivory

Even though you don't need the Combo for the Cherry Cobbler, I always suggest purchasing as a combo, because you may want both of them for other projects.


I used the Light Pool Party to lightly outline the Otters and to make the "ripples" in the water stand out a bit.  I colored in the "heart bubble (around the heart)" with the Dark Pool Party.

The sentiment is stamped with VersaMark and then used White Embossing Powder and my heat gun to set the powder.


Thank you for looking in today.  Please say a prayer for our little Nike dog.  He's in a lot of pain from the doctor exam today, since she x-rayed and manipulated his knee to feel what was going on inside.  Right now we're scheduled for surgery on the 21st, but would like to get him in sooner if possible.

Nike - look at that face!  :)

Hugs,
Donna

You Can Make It and Earn It

Have you seen this?  I admit, I didn't see this important detail at first, so let me fill you in on a little secret I discovered in the Occasions Catalog.

I'm sure you've all seen the "You Can Make It" details in the catalog, it shows you what all you need to make what is shown on a particular page.  For example, this one shows what you need to make these cute little candy bags.


What you might not have seen, and this is what I found so exciting, is you can purchase everything you need for that project with ONE ORDER NUMBER!  

Hey Love Treat Toppers - Cling Mount - 150811 - $55.25 - Includes one of each item listed below.  The magic number is $50.00 so you now can choose a FREE ITEM from the Sale-a-Bration item!


How easy is that?  Easy peasy, one order number and get one of everything needed to make these great little treat bags.  Well, everything but the candy of course!


If Valentine's isn't your thing, then check out the rest of the catalog to find others.  Thank you Stampin' Up! for making shopping so easy, not to mention how fabulously all these thing match perfectly together!

Happy Monday!  I can say that because I have today off for MLK Day.  Always up for a Monday Holiday, how about you?

~ Donna


p.s. I added a couple other items that would be needed to make these treat bags, but you probably already have them at home, but ... just in case...
