Chapstick Holder

I have seen this cute little ditty all over the internet.  Here's one place you can see how to make it.  This was one of my door prizes at my Feb. Club meeting.  I could have really dressed it up, but this was the very last thing I made before my friends came over.  I'm always a little stressed right before and then it's my favorite day of the month!

Supplies:
Paper: Island Indigo, Twitterpated DSP
Accessories: Baja Breeze seam binding
Tools: Big Shot, label framelits

Poppy Flower....

I adored this card I found online.  I love the Island Indigo with that giant splash of Poppy Parade color!  Just in case you can't tell, there are 2 blossom punches at the base of the flower, then the scallop circle snipped b/t each scallop and then the largest of the boho blossom flowers.

Supplies:
Stamp Set: Fresh Vinatage (SAB), Take it to Heart, Delightful Dozen
Paper: White, Poppy Parade, Island Indigo
Ink: Island Indigo
Tools: Blossom Punch, small scallop circle, boho blossom punch
Accessories: 8mm pearls, sponge dauber, dimensionals

Confused Top Note

Of course, I saw this technique first on Mary Fish's blog, but I was excited to see someone else make this one. All you do is put your paper onto the top note and run it through the big shot, then pick the paper up, rotate it 90 degrees and put it through again!  A great idea!  Thanks, Mary!

Supplies:
Stamp Set: Elementary Elegance (SAB)
Paper: Crumb Cake, White, Pool Party
Ink: Espresso, Lucky Limeade
Tools: Big Shot, Top Note die, lace ribbon border punch, curly label punch paper snips
Accessories: dimensionals, lucky limeade ribbon (SAB)

The girls actually go to make this card.  I think they had fun with it.  Again, SU! does an excellent job creating new products that work with old ones.  Like in this card, the center of the flourish fits our curly label punch perfectly!

March Morning Class Paper Flower Arrangement

I am so sorry this is late again, but I am excited to offer another morning class this month!  We will be making a bouquet of either daffodils or Gerber daisies to put in this cute watering can.  I assure you this project is WAY more adorable in person.

A note of warning, the daffodils are very easy, but the gerber daisies are quite involved...NOT HARD...just involved.  You may not finish the whole bouquet in class, but could easily finish at home.

This class will be $20 and that includes the can and floral wire

I will offer my discount on any of the punches used on this project along with the daisies #2 die used to make the gerbers.  You must let me know that in your rsvp.

I hope you can make it and please bring a friend!

I will need the RSVP by Thursday noon and no later.  Sorry for the late notice.

Here are some up close images of the 2 flowers.

This project is so beautiful!  I hope you can make it!  I will give more details after the class has occurred :)

Stamp Club Samples

For the rest of the week and most of next, I will be showing you all the projects I showed/demo'd at stamp club last month!  I will have a new club forming as of July, so be thinking if this might be just what you need to jump start your paper crafting habit :)

Supplies:
Stamp Set: Curly Cute, Fresh Vintage (SAB)
Ink: Pretty in Pink, Early Espresso
Paper: Pretty in Pink, Early Espresso, White
Tools: Big Shot, stripes embossing folder, stamp punch
Accessories: dimensionals, paper snips, early espresso baker's twine


This is a great technique called color blocking.  Take a small image and put lots of them on your card in a block formation.

Sorry :(

I cannot believe that I forgot to post for a whole week!  I usually spend the weekend before setting all of my posts for the whole week.  I went out of town with my 2 kids by myself and I must have totally gone crazy, b/c I forgot.  I am so sorry.  That means you have missed the announcement for a great product!
