Hi!  Welcome to my blog.  I’m Sara Levin the artful inker. And today is the start of a new way for me to share.  I hope you will leave some feedback and let me know what you think.  In the past, each project I’ve shared with you has been created at a single crafting level.  For the Warm Hearted Kandy Kakes Holder I’m sharing today, I’m showing it three ways.
 
My plan is to share a couple of projects each week that are shown three ways:

• beginning crafter: I’m just getting started or don’t have much time to craft;
• casual crafter: I want to step it up just a bit but nothing too detailed;
• and, avid crafter: I want to use tools, techniques, etc.

 

Warm Hearted Kandy Kakes Holder

Beginning Crafter

 

 

First, I’m not sure if Tasteykake Kandy Kakes are regional or national.

That said, here’s an easy wrapper.

Using your Stampin’ Trimmer cut Berry Burst cardstock to 6-1/2″ x 7″

Still using the trimmer score in landscape at:

2-1/4″, 3″, 5-1/4″, 6″

Next, burnish the score lines with your Bone Folder.

Then adhere the small tab strip with Multipurpose glue

to close the holder.

On the top, add a 2″ x 6-3/4″ layer of Blushing Bride cardstock.

For the sentiment, stamp “thanks”, from Warm Hearted,

on Whisper White in Berry Burst ink.

Next, cut around “thanks” with Paper Snips.

Using the Sprig Punch, cut four sets of Mossy Meadow sprigs.

Adhere the sprigs with Multipurpose Glue.

Then, add “thanks” on top.

Next, is a slightly stepped up holder.

To add these elements will take you about two more minutes.

 

 

Using the second largest Stitched Shapes oval, cut a piece of Whisper White.

To adhere it, use Stampin’ Dimensionals.

Then, add several loops of Rose Metallic Thread with a Mini Glue Dot.

Tuck the punched sprigs under the stitched oval.

And, add the cut out sentiment with Stampin’ Dimensionals.

Avid Crafter

 

 

Here, the basic holder is the same.

But, you’ll embellish it further.

 

 

First, run the Blushing Bride layer through the Tin Tile embossing folder

after spritzing with alcohol.

You’ll have to do this twice to cover the entire length.

Then, use the Champagne Shimmer Paint and lightly

daub on a layer of shimmer.

Next, adhere the piece to the holder with Dimesionals.

Using some of the Clear Epoxy Droplets, color them with

your Dark Lovely Lipstick Stampin’ Blends before adhering.

 

 

Then, adhere the sprigs, oval, thread and sentiment

to the left of center.
