Swirly Thank you!

Hi Everyone! It's official, today is the last day of school here! Let the summer vacation begin!! I hope you all have crafty plans for the summer! (This year during the summer I will only be posting 3 days a week instead of 6. I hope you all understand!)

Today is all about thanking the wonderful teacher's out there that do such a great job with our kids!

Not sure about you, but Swirly Bird is one of those stamp sets that are completely out of my comfort zone. Because you mostly random stamp which is not my thing! Getting better at it though!

I completely cased this one! Yep, I did! 

See those small gold dots?? There are embossed! Cool or what!? I made them using this really cool Versa Marker that one of my customers gave me for Christmas! Thank you!

We made this teacher an Aromatherapy bracelet too! 

As you can see I tried to make the card have the same colours as the bracelet. I think it worked out great! 

Of course this pretty little bracelet needed a pretty little package. It was supposed to be the same package as the other Aromatherapy Bracelet that we made for another teacher, however I forgot one score line. So, it turned into this!

I stamped all over the Whisper White cardstock. I changed it a little from the card.

It's a triangle box with no sides! Pretty cool eh? I love how everything turned out!

Confession... I completely forgot to take a picture of the card and the package together! Can't now because the teacher already has their gift! Oops!

Index Card Notebook

Hi Everyone! I have a fun little project to share with you today! Just in time for Valentine's Day! 

My daughter wanted something to give her BFF for Valentine's Day. Since we don't do treats (allergies), we do stationery stuff (actually she had a list of stationery stuff to give her!), cause you know I am a Stampin' Up! Demonstrator and all! lol. 

This is what I came up with!

An Index Card Notebook!

You can put as many index cards as you would like, and when those are all filled up, you can empty it and refill it with more or continue to add more! That is the beauty of this project, it never ends!

Supplies:

Paper: 
3 x 5" Whisper White Thick Card stock
2 3/4 x 4 3/4" cardstock
2 1/2 x 4 1/2" DSP

Accessories:
3 x 5" Index Cards
Binder Rings (various size)
Crop-a-dile (to punch through many layers of paper, if not just a single whole punch will do)

A tutorial on how I made it!

Here are the products that I used.

Pretty gum wrapper

Hi Everyone! What lovely weather we are finally having! Hope you get a chance to get out and enjoy some of it!

 

Today, I have for you a pretty gum wrapper. Sometimes we just want to "thank" someone, and we just need something small. Why not gum!? And you all know that gum wrappers are not the prettiest thing around! (I would have showed you the gum, but it was all finished! lol) These are so easy to make. They wouldn't take long at all.

This wrapper was made to fit Pur Gum. You can certainly choose whichever gum you like the best. I have found that every gum company has a different size package.

Stampin' Up! Supplies:

Paper: DSP, Whisper White, Polka Dot Parade

Ink: Real Red, Coastal Cabana

Stamp Set: Work of Art

Accessories: Gum package of your choice, Starburst Framelits, Ribbon, Circle Punch, Dimensionals

Thanks for stopping by!

Happy Stamping!

Wedding Shower 'Thank You' cards

This past Sunday our church had a wedding shower for our youth pastor. We gave money towards a really big gift, but then I had a thought, I should make them 'Thank You' cards! Since they are both really young I knew Gorgeous Grunge would be the prefect base stamp set. Then I chose the rose from the Simple Stems set, to make it a bit feminine. Their colours are navy blue and silver (same as mine were!) Here is what I came up with. I really liked them. I hope they did too!

 

This is how I packaged them. I know, not very exciting. Wish my mom was around, she was a professional gift wrapper.

 

Stampin' Up! Supplies:

 

Paper: Whisper White, Night of Navy

 

Ink: Night of Navy, Old Olive, Basic Grey

 

Stamps: Gorgeous Grunge, Simple Stems

Paper Roses

I am so excited for you to be here with me today! It's all about paper roses and what to put them on!

It all started by me wanting to learn how to make paper roses like everyone else. As it turned out, it is a lot easier than I thought! Wonderful you-tube videos out there explaining everything for you.

Then, I saw this really cute box on Pinterest. I knew they would be prefect for my paper roses. I was on a mission to make this box, however I searched high and low looking for a tutorial on how to make it. No such luck! So, I figured it out on my own! I think they are the cutest little boxes! They hold one tea light per box. I thought you could use them for 'wedding favors', a little 'Thank you' gift. You could put whatever you want inside. They are 2x2 square with a depth of 1 inch.
