Coloring Stamps with Markers and the Weekly Deals

Posted on September 12, 2015 by mauistamper

I’m captivated with these treat bags made from glassine sheets – it’s such a distinctive look! Left alone, they look old-fashioned, but when you run them through a TIEF they are right on trend.

I used Stampin’ Write markers to color the image. I wouldn’t want to do 50 of them this way, but it’s enjoyable to do a few. The Rich Razzleberry ribbon from the Holiday Catalog is soft and has a lovely heft and it will stay in place.

You could put this tag on a card, on a gift package, around a bottle or jar, or even tuck it into a lunch box or briefcase.

To shop for the supplies, visit the Online Store.

Sweet treats, Maui Stamper Style

Posted on July 18, 2015 by mauistamper

I’m on the road, having survived PACKING. I should be better at it, but I’m not. Weather always messes with my packing because I hate to be cold. That’s a problem, because if it’s cold, I get cranky buying extra cold weather clothing that I won’t use at home. First World Problems, as my son says.

First stop is a visit to my parents – I’ve discovered it’s an entirely different experience to spend time with just the two of them. No Mr. Maui Stamper, no beloved grandchildren, not even my siblings – just me, Mom and Dad. Oh, and Henry the Love Bug – he’s the cat that managed to work his way into the family after my Mom said No More Cats. So it’s me, Mom, Dad and Henry, just hanging out, and it’s pretty nice.

Next stop is Salt Lake City and Inspire.Create.Share.2015! Will you be there? Come and see me – I have treats!

Stamps: Sweet Stack
Color Palette: Mint Macaron, Lost Lagoon, Soft Sky
Accessories: Boho Chic TIEF, Banner Triple Punch, Rhinestone Jewels, Handheld Stapler

I DID NOT WANT THAT PUNCH. Oh no, I did not, Sam-I-Am. But I was wrong. WRONG!! That punch is the BOMB. Can you imagine making these using your paper snips to cut each of those little banner flags? I Think Not.

Crystal is a rock star. She figured out that that the Banner Triple punch was just the right size to work with these little clear treat bags she found, and the Hershey Macnut Kisses were just the thing to go inside. This was a simple project to put together – I think selecting the colors was the hardest part. And I know I could have gone with colors that matched the Kisses a little more, but I chose what I chose. So there, Sam-I-Am.

And when you see me at Convention and say “I follow the Maui Stamper” we will both know that what you’re really after is the chocolate. And that is perfectly fine.
