As many of our friends and customers know, we design many of our stamp sets from customer requests. So we have decided to make a special Friday each month to highlight of few of those sets! We are designing your Wish List....thus Wish List Friday!
****Make sure to comment on this post with any wishes you have....we'll be checking!****
These are available for you to purchase today!.........................................................................................
This month we listened to our Cricut Friends and designed a couple of sets just for them! These two sets are designed around the Storybook Cricut Cartridge. This cartridge has many beautiful shapes to choose from to accent cards and scrap pages!
The first shape that I focused on is the Marquee 1 (page 66 of the booklet).
These shapes fit the Marquee 1, Accent Blackout, sizes 2.5, 3.5, and 4.

Have you ever been at a potluck dinner and needed to label something? This just happened to me on Sunday (Father's day). We had 4 different kinds of brauts and needed to label them....what to do?
So I decided to make something with my new stamp set: little food skewers! Ready to go when your guests arrive at your home or church with their food! Perfect for church pot luck dinners!
Clear Dollar Stamps: Marquee Labels
Cardstocks: Blueberry Patch and Cottonball white
Markers and Ink pads: red ink pad
Other: Wood skewer sticks from Walmart, pail from Target, sugar (yum)
..................................................................................
******IMPORTANT*******
For larger stamps like this, surface is everything! To get the image to stamp completely, I used my mouse pad! It "gave" just enough to let the complete image stamp.
The top one is stamped with no mouse pad (you can see part of the image did not stamp) and the bottom one uses the mouse pad:
This will save you a lot of frustration!
............................................................................
How to make this project:
1. Stamp up a bunch of your white labels (Marquee 1, 4.5, Accent Black out).
2. Cut out shadows in Blueberry cardstock (marquee 1, 4.5, shadow).
3. Apply two sided tape to your shadow as shown. Make sure not to put any tape at one of the points on the long side. This is where your skewer stick slides in.
4. Attach your white label to your blue shadow label.
5. Slide skewer sticks in the pocket that you formed when you glued them together. I broke the sticks to different lengths for variety. DO NOT GLUE THEM IN if you have to write on them later. By leaving them unglued you can slide the sticks out to write on the tags!
6. Fill your bucket with sugar and arrange your food labels into an adorable decoration!
