The Sweetest Thing for Kylie's Demonstrator Training March Blog Hop

Thanks for stopping by!  Today I'm participating in Kylie's Demonstrator Training Blog Hop.  I'm so excited to be part of this training program and happy to participate in my very first Blog Hop with them! The purpose of the group is for the group of Stampin' Up! Demonstrators that are part of the program...to share ideas and to learn from each other...to help us in our Stampin' Up! Business.

Today you will "hop around the world" and check out the amazing projects created by these very talented demonstrators.  You are currently visiting Heather Cooper from British Columbia, Canada.  Please take some time to check out all of the blogs on the list below!

I'm using the Sweetest Thing stamp set for my sample today. I've paired it up with some Twinkle, Twinkle Designer Series Paper. Here's a closer look:

• This is not a difficult design. It would be perfect for a casual stamper to complete. If you took away the Stampin' Blends colouring and the fancy ends to the sentiment, and pre-die cut the panels with the focal point and it's backing, then a novice stamper could do it as well.
• I love how the candy jar and the background Twinkle Twinkle Designer Series Paper go so well together. It gives the whole card a whimsical look to it.
• I stamped the jar in Memento Tuxedo Black ink as well as the gum drops inside it. I then used various colours of Stampin' Blends to colour it in. The jar itself is coloured with Light Pool Party Stampin' Blends marker. The gumdrops inside are shades of Flirty Flamingo, Highland Heather, Mango Melody, Granny Apple Green, and Mint Macaron Stampin' Blends.
• It's die cut with the Stitched Shapes Framelits and backed with a Scallop Oval in Pool Party, die cut with the Laying Ovals Framelits.
• The sentiment is also from the Sweetest Things stamp set and it's stamped on a Whisper White strip and the fancy ends are punched using parts of the Everyday Label Punch.
• The card base and the sentiment backing are Soft Sea Foam.
