Won’t you be… my Favor??

Sorry, I haven’t finished my first cup of coffee yet this morning. 😉 Now the song’s gonna be stuck in your head all day… hee hee!

Last Friday was our daughter’s 11th birthday so Sunday meant a birthday party. I decided to make “candy wands” for each girl to A.) eat and enjoy and B.) give them a sugar-high all their parents would appreciate. 😉 Honestly, I ran out of time to order from this fabulous Etsy seller (who I can’t seem to find the name of… if you know who I’m talking about please let me know!) so I made my own. *this post is gonna circle back to Stampin’ UP! – hang in there* Behold:

I’m so excited to share these with you because the FAB ribbon I used to tie the bags is SU! Real Red 3/4″ Polka-Dot Grosgrain Ribbon – a retired product NOW AVAILABLE in the Clearance Rack on my website!

10 yards for $1.99!!

Seriously, that’s a rediculously low price! SU! has added even more items to our Clearance Rack at savings up to 80%!! Click on the link in my sidebar to check out the deals on my website NOW! This stuff is going FAST!

Have a great day, and really…

Won’t you be my favor? 😉

I’m Baaaa..ck!

Ahh… we’re finally back up and running online! 🙂 It was a REALLY long summer, but now we’re a bit settled. Things will be changing around here soon enough, but for now I’m happy to have a few scrapbooking and stamping supplies out of storage and internet access to share them!

I added a bunch of items to the Etsy shoppe tonight, so be sure to check them out! http://www.etsy.com/shop/MamaBearStamps

One of my favorite items are these “Hoot Hoot” owl embellishments! I used the Stampin’ UP! “Fox and Friends” owl and layered the punched image on some glittered black cardstock I picked up a few months ago from somewhere (don’t remember where, LOL!) I added some foam tape to the back and now they’re perfect for Halloween cards and scrapbooking layouts!

I hope you have a fabulous week and keep creating! 🙂

Simple Birthday Thanks Versitility

I love stamps (obviously! ;)) but I especially love stamps with versitility. I like to use my purchasing power to really get milage out of my supplies. Take for example the “Simple Birthday Thanks” stamp from Stampin’ UP!

While I love the simple thank-you note on the inside of the cupcake, did you know you could take that out? Before I mounted this stamp I used an Xacto knife to cut out the wording portion (and the wording on the identification sticker). These I mounted separately so I can use just the cupcake, just the wording, or both.

Here is a paper-pieced version of this cupcake in my Mama Bear Stamps Etsy shop right now (I used scraps for this people – YOU can do this!!)

And here are some examples of this stamp used with Stampin’ UP! supplies:

All these designs (and so much more) can be created with just this ONE stamp! And for only $17.95 it’s a steal!

If you love this Stampin’ UP! stamp (and all the others!) you can earn it FREE just by inviting your friends over and stamping with me and the gang! Contact me today to set up a workshop in your home or mine and enjoy all the fun, creativity, and FREE products Stampin’ UP! has to offer!

Want even more fun? Visit the “Join My Team” tab at the top of my blog. Demonstrators receive FREE stamps and supplies, free catalogs, everything you need to share the joy of stamping with those you love. Plus, receive extra goodies throughout the year from me and our big SU! team! 🙂

Love Sparkles Layout and Card

Here are the Love Sparkles projects I created (more to come):

*Sorry for the wonky photo – I didn’t have time/was too lazy to scan it in. 😉

All products used were directly from the Simply Scrappin’ kit. The three dots at the top were simply hole-punched with a standard office hole punch from one of the Chocolate Chip stickers included.

I also created a card with the Whisper White cardstock from the kit:

I used our Beautiful Wings Embosslits from the Holiday Mini (it’s still available!) and my new Perfect Details Texturz Plate Die for use in the Big Shot. I stamped the saying from Very Thankful (proceeds go to the Ronald McDonald Charities!) in So Saffron. Super quick and easy! I think this would be lovely as a wedding or shower thank you as well.

Have a great weekend! 🙂

 

Care for a Spot of Tea?

Alright, this doesn’t exactly look like a teacup… more like a coffee cup, but that’s ok. 🙂 I think the recipient will get the idea!

Supplies:

Razzleberry Lemonade Designer Series Paper pack

Scallop Circle punch

Tart & Tangy stamp set

So Saffron Classic ink pad

Label sticker from a retired SU! Simply Scrappin’ set

Letter stickers, thread and button not SU!

Have a great night! 🙂

Chocolate Bunnies

I LOVE this chocolate bunny! It’s only fitting… my day job is at a candy company! 😉 I have a bunch of mini gifts in the works with this little guy (yes, it’s a boy, lol) but wanted to share some of my new Chocolate Bunny Embellishments I have at my Etsy shoppe and how I made them.

I stamped these guys on Kraft cardstock twice – once in Chocolate Chip Classic Ink and once with Versamark and embossed him with clear embossing powder. I then carefully cut around him and applied a diminsional to the back. The bottom layer on the diminsional was left intact, and glued to a clear sheet (cut to size) so you just simply peel the bunny off the backing sheet and apply to your project. SIMPLE! Here are the products I used:
