Stamping Country

Sealed with a Kiss Date Night Craft

Heat things up at your house with this Sealed with a Kiss Date Night craft idea.  Welcome to my studio for a video tutorial showing you how to make this hot treat with cherry scented glossy lips.  How fun is that?

The S.W.A.K. stamp will be retiring in just 8 short days.  For a complete list of retiring stamps and accessories see the Quick Links below.

 

 The Stamp-a-ma-jig takes the guess work out of positioning stamps.  Gloss those lips with precision and expertise. Wish you could smell the Cherry Scented Embossing powder.  It adds an additional twist to the already yummy looking lips.

 Only  8 days left and then we will kiss our Retiring Accessories and Stamp Sets Good-bye to make room for the new.

Hello friends,

Hope you had a wonderful Easter.

Mini Milk Cartons for Easter Treats

Make Mini Milk cartons for Easter. The kids will love them.  They are small enough to fit into little hands.  And the design  intrigues kids of all ages.

The best part is that they are so easy to make, but they look like you spent hours.  We made 200 of these babies for my son's wedding last year.  I really appreciate that with one pass through the Big Shot, they are both cut and scored.  Better yet they are just one piece.  You simply fold on the score lines and adhere in a few key places.

Robin's Best Mini Milk Carton Tips

The Mini Clothes pins make assembly even easier .The added bonus is that you don't have to tear and pry to open. Find your tasty treat with a quick squeeze of the clothespin.  Don't forget to clip on a message too.

Sticky Strip is a must for a lasting hold.

• Mini Milk Carton Bigz L Die
• So Saffron, Wild Wasabi, Baja Breeze and Whisper White Card Stock
• Wild Wasabi Classic Ink
• Heaven Blessed Stamp Set

Stamping on Cookies

Happy April Fools Day,

Welcome to my kitchen.  I wasn't fooling about stamping on cookies.  Let us show you how to use the Sweet Pressed Cookie Stamps. Baking with children is so much fun. Stampin' Up! Cookie Stamp's rounded handle fits comfortably in even the smallest hands.

And stamping on cookies is fun for the whole family, just ask Connor.  

On a side note, I would normally stamp peanut butter cookies after baking.  But with a small helper, it's just so much fun stamp before entering the oven.

 

 

  

Holiday Sweet Pressed Cookie Stamps #125152

Occasions Sweet Pressed Cookie Stamps #127081

Robin's Recipe Corner

For today's demonstration we used Peanut Butter Cookies.

Peanut Butter Cookies

• 1/2 C Butter
• 1/2 C Peanut Butter
• 1 C Brown Sugar
• 1 egg
• 1/2 tsp vanilla
• 1-1/4 C Flour
• 3/4 tsp baking soda
• 1/4 tsp salt

Thoroughly cream butter, peanut butter, sugar, egg, soda, salt and vanilla.  Fold flour into creamed mixture.  Scoop into 1" balls.  Place onto cookie sheet.  Rub Cookie stamp in sugar and press top of cookie.  Bake 350 degrees for 8 minutes.  Cool slightly and remove from pan.

Spinner Card-Fox & Friends

A visit to the zoo with my Grandsons & Daughter-in Law inspired today's Fox & Friends Spinner card. 

Pin It

Have you ever made a spinner card? Children love cards that move, spin or wiggle.

 

 Spin the circle to reveal a fox, a lion, a giraffe and a monkey. Change it up and add a turtle, a whale or an owl.

 The embossed stripes add texture and dimension.  The Everyday Enchantment brad almost looks like a turtle shell.

 

 Are you worried that Spinner Cards might be a "bear" to make? Don't be afraid to give them a try. Just follow a few simple steps and you can make them too.

Give it a whirl.  The kids and the kids at heart will love it.
