Video Tutorial: Scallop Square Lollipop Treats
I love my Scallop Square Die (see it online - 115950). It’s one of my most-used Big Shot dies (see what I mean?). Last week I posted a project using the Reason to Smile stamp set, and I wanted to share a Video Tutorial on how to make the sweet lollipop treat.
The treat uses several fabulous products, and if you like to print your directions to save at home, here’s a photo of the ‘guts’ of this little sweet treat:
- Big Shot Die Cut Machine (see it online – 113439)
- Simply Scored Tool (see it online – 122334)
- Simply Scored Diagonal Plate (see it online – 125586)
- Scallop Square Die (see it online - 115950)
- Make A Cake stamp set (see it online – c 126742 or w 126740)
Just grab your favorite color card stock and coordinating Designer Series Paper, and you’re all set! Love the paper in the background on my photos? It’s from the Patio Party Designer Series Paper (see it online – 126916) and I love it, too!
Here’s the Video Tutorial:

Subscribe to the comments for this postIt’s a Mary Poppins Purse!
You remember that scene from Mary Poppins, where she opens her carpetbag and starts pulling belongings out? And keeps pulling…and keeps pulling…? Well the little Petite Purse Bigz Die (see it online) is going to be known as the Mary Poppins Purse Die on my blog.
%20Summer%20Smooches%20Designer%20Series%20Paper%20%26%20Fabric%20Brads.%20By%20Meg%20Loven%20--%20www.LovenStamps.com%2Fblog "Pin It")
I thought this little purse was going to be too tiny to fit much of anything… okay, maybe 3 Hershey’s Kisses. But guess what? It fits TEN (yes, 10!)! And it’s a small die!
Maybe I’m getting a bit over excited here, but you might have noticed on my blog that I’m a big fan of cute little projects that include candy. Because I think stamping is fun, but stamping with chocolate is BETTER. So a little die that makes a perfect candy-sized purse is going to rate high in my book. (see some other candy projects on my blog)
I’m hearing that you’re going to need this one, too, so don’t forget that you’ll have to order it in April, because if you miss it in April, you’ll have to wait <<sniff, sniff>> until the new catalog comes out on June 1st.
Oh, same goes for the Summer Smooches Designer Series Paper (see it online). And don’t miss the Summer Smooches Fabric Designer Brads (see them online), because the brads WON’T be in the new catalog — they’re only available this month. I ordered 2 boxes. 
(here are some other Summer Smooches projects on my blog!)

Build A Cupcake: Punch Art Gift Tags
A few weeks ago I shared this fun little Take-Out Box gift with the Create A Cupcake stamp set tag. The box itself is built from the Petal Cone Die for Big Shot (check out some other Petal Cone Die ideas).
The Create A Cupcake stamp set (see it online) and the matching Build A Cupcake Punch (see it online) are two of my fav items from the Mini Catalog. This tag and take-out box (via the Petal Cone Die–see it online) are projects from my recent Stampin’ Up! Workshops.
Here I wanted to share 2 Video Tutorials for this fun project.
Tutorial 1: Create A Cupcake Gift Tag — learn how to make the most of your ink pads with the Stampin’ Off technique, plus tips for Punch Art with the Build A Cupcake Punch.
Tutorial 2: Petal Cone Die Take-Out Box — another fabulous idea for this flexible die for Big Shot. Learn how to score and fold to create a sweet treat container.
Be sure to check out some of my other Video Tutorials!

Crazy for Cupcakes: especially to build your own
Can you picture this? I walked out to my mailbox one day, opened the door and pulled out a pile of junk mail… plus… my Occasions Mini Catalog! I ran back to the house (because of my excitement, not necessarily because I was out at the curb with no shoes on in 10 degree weather) and my first flip-through of the catalog stopped right at page 22…
No way, matching CUPCAKE stamps and punch?! Too sweet! (pun intended)
Okay, you’ve got me. Yes, this experience may have been recreated for my blog (since we got to play with this cute stamp set back at the Founder’s Circle Retreat last fall) but really, can’t you imagine the excitement?
The Create A Cupcake stamp set (see it online) and the matching Build A Cupcake Punch (see it online) are two of my fav items from the Mini Catalog. This tag and take-out box (via the Petal Cone Die–see it online) are projects from my recent Stampin’ Up! Workshops.
I’ve made these little boxes as Hostess Gifts. You could have one if you’d like to host a party, too! No cupcakes included though, except the cute one on the tag.
Keep an eye out tomorrow for my newest Video Tutorial! Or check out some of my other recent Petal Cone Die projects (including yesterday’s Easter Carrot).

Sweeten Your Spring with Chocolate
When I demonstrate Stampin’ Up! at home parties (aka ‘workshops’), I often like to share two projects. One of the projects is usually a card, and one of the projects always includes chocolate. Because stamping is fun, but stamping with CHOCOLATE is better!
In fact, you can check out a variety of the ‘candy projects’ that I’ve shared in the past.
Here’s one of my recent favorites, using the Sweet Summer stamp set (see it online). Sweet Summer is one of the free Sale-A-Bration choices available only until March 31st, so don’t wait too long! (learn more about Sale-A-Bration).
I used my favorite coloring tool for this project: Watercolor Wonder Crayons! The set I used here was the Subtles Collection (see it online) and my watercolor tool was an Aqua Painter (see it online).
Here are the steps for this fabulous favor:
- Punch with the Designer Label Punch (see it online) from a piece of Watercolor Paper (see it online)
- Stamp with the Sweet Summer stamp set in Staz-On Black Ink (see it online). Staz-On is the best choice for watercolor as it will not run when brushed with water
- Add greeting from the You’re A Gem stamp set (see it online)
- Use Aqua Painters and Watercolor Wonder Crayons (Subtles Collection) to color the design
- Attach to a piece of Springtime Vintage Designer Series Paper (see it online) with Stampin’ Dimensionals
- Add chocolate to a Small Cello Bag (see it online) and fold over. Tie with a length of Baja Breeze Seam Binding (see it online)
- Dab a tiny bit of Smooch Moonlight Pearlized Accent Ink (see it online) to the bee wings and flower center. Remember that a little bit goes a long way with this fabulous glitz.
- Share with friend!

Wine Labels for Wedding Favors
Remember those wedding ideas I posted last week with the Baroque Motifs stamp set? The bride also planned to give home-made wine as a table favor, so she ordered blank wine bottle labels and stamped on them with the same design!
Thanks, Carol, for sharing your work with us–these turned out beautifully! Love the Chocolate Chip ink and the Sage Shadow ink together on the big swirls.
I guess you really can stamp just about anything. What a great ensemble to put together for a wedding.
