Stamping and Beyond: Lollipop Bouquet

Let's take a look at how design team member Danielle used Jenni Bowlin stamps to go beyond the page!

After playing around with the new Jenni Bowlin Stamps, I decided to dress up some little lollipops with the stamped images and create a “bouquet”, a fun project for kids to make at a birthday party! Or they could be used as thank you gifts, or even just a display on a birthday table!I started with Jenni Bowlin’s 3” x 3” Seal stamp and used a Lemon Drops Ink Pad. It was stamped onto white cardstock and cut out. Then I snipped a little piece out of the image.
Next, I folded the two ends of the seal stamp together and attached with a Glue Dot. This creates a cone shape that will form around the lollipop better than a flat image. I poked a hole in the center where the lollipop will go.

Then I stamped the solid image of the 3” x 3” Blue Ribbon stamp onto white cardstock with Chewing Gum Ink, and then topped it with the outline stamp in Cough Syrup Ink. I cut it out and poked a hole in the center. (I didn't stamp the tails of the Blue Ribbon, just the circle.)

These two finished stamped images were layered together and a lollipop poked down through the hole. I used a Family Tree paper to cut the green polkadot leaves and attached them under the lollipop flower.

If your lollipop is flat like the one below, you can adhere the flower underneath it and add a 3” x 3” Butterfly stamp like I did here. I topped it with a Yellow Rhinestone Bow embellishment.

I used a $1 small wooden box from the craft store and wrapped it with red ribbon. The bottom is filled with foam to hold the lollipops. I cut an egg shaped foam in half that I had in my craft box and adhered it to the bottom. You will need to adhere it, because the lollipops are heavy and tend to want to fall over.

Now just poke the dressed-up lollies into the foam!

You can also cover the center of the stamped image with a 2” circle cut from patterned paper like this one.

If you use these for display on a table, you can punch some extra patterned paper circles to sprinkle on the table and add more stamped butterflies scattered around for an extra fun touch!

Thanks Danielle for this sweet tutorial!

A Sweet Invite

In the day of emails and facebook event invitations, it's nice to receive a tangible invitation once in a while!

Here is a great invite from Danielle:


Danielle did her layering magic on this card! The base is the Sewing Room cardstock.  A strip of clocks from the Game Night paper lies on top of that.  A Scalloped Notecard is next and 3 stamped Flag Banners lie on top of that.  A gently curled ribbon tops off this great invite!

Danielle handcut the bobbin shape for the background of her card and added a real needle and thread. Isn't she so clever? The JBS Coredinations Carstock is lightly sanded to reveal the inner tan. A tip from Jenni: after sanding, lightly wipe the cardstock with a baby wipe to remove the sandpaper dust.

Danielle used one of our Diecut Journaling Cards as a template to create the bird on this layout. Just trace the bird onto the Aunt Charlotte Mini Paper and cut out. Tip: trace it onto the back of the paper and you won't have to worry about erasing pencil marks.
