An Adventure Drink and A Paw Print on Your Heart!

I decorated this fun Coconut Beverage holder to highlight the new stamp set by Artful INKables called Paradise Island.

I found this cute coconut cup at my local I Party store on sale for 99cents! - what a deal. Wouldn't this be a fun way to serve drinks at a party!?!?

First I cut out a 2 inch strip of Creamy Caramel card stock and ran it through my crimper. It needed to be 14" so I had to cut out another strip and add it on ( I only had 8x11 paper) - I attached the ends with tacky strip to be sure it held. Then I sponged the edges with Close to Cocoa ink - tied several pieces of raffia around it and slid it over the coconut.

I colored my images with Copics and Prismacolor markers, cut them out and attached them to the band with thick glue dots. I attached the dancer to the straw with a piece of tacky strip.
This picture shows you how the band slips off and how the Coconut opens.

I also stamped the images on some green napkins to be used at the party along with the cute beverage holders! And "thanks' to Dunkin Donuts for the pretty coordinating orange straw that I used here!

So next time you're at your local party shop - take a look at the party items and think about how you can 'stamp' them up for your next gathering!!

I made my second card for the featured stamper challenge over at Split Coast. Knightrone (Jessie) has a lot of beautiful cards in her gallery! I chose this one to case today. I changed the colors and stamps used but loved her layout which worked perfectly for my pretty new puppy stamp from Artful INKables set Top Dog.

I colored him with close to cocoa re-inker and my aquapainter. I used this fun pet designer paper for my background, two different ribbons and heart brads. For the sentiment - I punched 2 scalloped circles and a white circle and then layed them together with the scallops off set so you can see both colors.I stamped the scarf on a scrap - colored it and attached it over the main image with foam dimensionals. The puppy panel and sentiment are also on foam dimensionals. You can purchase this set here and there's free shipping durung the month of August for orders over $35.00!

Congratulations Jessie! enjoy your fun FS day!!
