PERFECTLY PRESERVED MEMORIES


I had a three-day weekend and found myself inspired by Karen Giron's Sweet Sunday Sketch Challenge #169. My favorite stamp set right now is Perfectly Preserved from the 2012 Holiday Catalog. I like it even more when it's paired with Orchard Harvest Designer Series Paper and the Cannery Set Framelits Dies.

I grew up on a farm in Iowa, and remember my Mom canning corn and other foods every year. It was a huge job, and we stored the canned foods in an underground cellar.  This stamp set brings back many of those great memories!

RECIPE
Stamps:  Perfectly Preserved, Petite Pairs
Paper:  Orchard Harvest DSP, Early Espresso and Very Vanilla CS
Ink:  More Mustard, Cajun Craze, and Early Espresso
Embellishments:  Naturals Designer Buttons, Linen Thread
Tools:  Essentials Paper-Piercing Pack, Stampin' Pierce Mat, Paper Piercing Tool, Cannery Set Framelits Dies
Supplies:  Stampin' Dimensionals
All products are Stampin' Up!

TOOTSIE POP COFFEE FILTER WITCH'S BROOM

Lorri Heiling provided this project for our weSTAMP Make 'n Take last month. She received it as a swap from Janet Baker at her Founder's Circle trip. The stick is actually a Tootsie Pop colored in black marker. The rest of the sucker is hidden under the boom created from natural colored coffee filters.
These were so much fun to make, and I wanted to make more of these at home.  I don't own the Bootiful stamp set, but thought Wicked Cool was a perfect replacement!  Here's a great video tutorial from Di Gibbs.
Stamps: Wicked Cool
Paper: Basic Black, Very Vanilla

Ink: Jet Black Staz-On, Pumpkin Pie, and Old Olive

Accessories: Tootsie Pop, natural colored coffee filters, Linen Thread, Rhinestone Basic Jewels

Tools:  Perfect Pennants Bigz L Die, Circle Cutter
