Peekaboo Card Revisited

I wasn't completely happy with the layering circles on my Peekaboo Swap card. The scale seemed off somehow. So, I took another look at it.

Craft with Beth: April Demonstrator Swap Card 2017 Basket of Wishes Thinking of You Succulent Garden Designer Series Paper Peekaboo Card Fun Fold Stitched Shapes Framelits Mother's Day

I used the second largest Stitched Circle Framelit for the backing circle instead of for the basket image. I used a smaller Layering Circle Framelit for the basket image. The matting looks more proportionate now.

Since I was revisiting the layering circles, I changed the theme of the card to Mother's Day. The Succulent Garden Suite is one of my mom's favorite suites in the Occasions Catalog. Shhh! This will be the card I send to my mom. So, don't tell.

A Sweet Sugarplum succulent and the corresponding inside greeting is stamped toward the bottom of the inside.

Here is another variation using the Oh, So Succulent stamp set.

The Most Delicious Dip Mix!

At last year's Annual Catalog Launch Party, my mom brought the most delicious dip mix - orange creamsicle® dip! It is a mix made by The Set Table, a company my mom's former student who now lives in Okinawa, Japan established! You add cream cheese and marshmallow puffed topping. We dipped fruit and graham crackers into it. Oh, my goodness! It was amazing. I could have eaten the whole bowl myself! Yum!

The dip was such a hit everyone wanted their own dip mix! She came down for a visit just before Easter with these cute tag topped dip packages. She is too nice!

Craft with Beth: My Mom made this awesome tag topper for the creamsicle dip Frozen Treats Thinlits Cool Treats stamp set Tasty Treats Designer Series Paper
 
Here are the measurements my mom made for her dip package. She made the tag topper to over hang about 1/4" of an inch on either side. To custom fit your dip package, measure the top of the package and add 1/2".
