Sprinkled Hearts

And finally the last image in that Sprinkled Expressions stamp set... hearts. The colors here are Rose Red and Melon Mambo. The expression comes from one of the Best Of... stamp sets that Stampin' Up! made available the year they celebrated the company's 25th anniversary.

Another Layout with Sprinkled Flowers

I used Melon Mambo and Sweet Sugarplum on this card and thought it looked just okay. It was missing something. So, on the next card I also added Peekaboo Peach. Wow! What a difference that third color makes!

More Sprinkled Flowers

Since I liked the flowers flowing in the Vertical position I stamped them on this card closer to the edge. The colors are Peekaboo Peach, Sweet Sugarplum and Melon Mambo. I was also using some long retired ribbon on this set of cards, trying to make room for some of the new ribbon in the current catalog. The expression comes from another retired stamp set, Sincere Salutations... still one of my favorites.

Tissue Holder

This is a cute and super easy "perk me up" gift to make. It holds a pocket tissue packet.

I found this project on Splitcoast Stampers. You start with a 4-1/4" x 11" piece of cardstock, scored at 1/2", 3", 4" and 6-1/2". You can punch the upper corners if desired to round them. Fold along the score lines. Attach Designer Series Paper (3 pieces measuring 3/4" x 4", 2-1/4"x 4" and 3-1/4" x 4". Stamp sentiment on the 3/4" piece of DSP. Use the small oval punch to make an opening for the tissue. You can make a decorative edge by punching a piece of the cardstock with the small oval punch and then using the scallop oval punch to punch again giving you an oval scallop ring to glue to the edge of the oval opening. Attach flowers and leaves and pearls to the top. 

Use a strong adhesive to glue the 1/2" tap of cardstock to make the holder. Insert the packet of pocket tissues.
