Desk Cady - Sneak Peek at the new Butterfly Beauty Thinlits Dies

Last Thursday night we had our annual local downline Christmas party here at my house.

We each made a handmade gift.  The gift that I received was made by Vicki Mertes.

The designer paper is the Botanical Butterfly paper from Sale-a-Bration:  FREE with a $50 order.

Click here to get the You Tube instructions.  You'll have to skip the ad.

Here is the card that was in it.

The white and black butterflies are all cut out and mounted on top of each other.

These dies will be available on January 3rd when the 2019 Occasions Catalog goes live!

Vicki also covered some post it notes with the designer paper and added some Hershey Kisses to the desk cady!

One of the thinlits cuts out the white butterflies that you see on the back of the cady.  Vicki attached these butterflies on the package.  I just put them on the back of the cady so that you could see them.

They cut out all in one piece.

I LOVE black and white!!!

Christmas Party with some of my Local Stampin' Up! Demonstrators!

We always have such a good time when we get together!

Last night was certainly no exception!  We first enjoyed our potluck dinner.  Then we made two projects. And finally we exchanged handmade gifts.

Here is the group who came over.

From left back.  Then right forward:

Marie, Gayle, Debbie, Linda, Jennifer, Janet, Reiko, Vicki, and Carolyn

And I think we are all still friends after a lot of "stealing" during the exchange the gift game!

Lovely Lattice Sneak Peek

Here is another beautiful stamp that will be FREE with a $50 order during Sale-a-Bration.

This will be a great opportunity to use the Stampin' Blends!

I used the Highland Heather Stampin' Blends.

I used a sponge daubber to lightly sponge Daffodil Delight background lattice work.  It looked so stark white.

Crocheted Christmas Trees!

Are you ready for this?

Barbara Thomas, one of the women in my Thursday night Stamp Club, knitted this trio of Christmas Trees!

I took one off of its cone so that you can see what they are mounted on.

She made the trio of trees in gold, blue, whatever she thought fit the person.

I love the red and green!

I cannot, for the life of me, figure out how in the world you would knit something like this!

Thank you, Barbara!

They are sitting on my Christmas tablecloths out in the craft room!

Copper Tea Tins

At OnStage, Michelle Halleen gave me a covered tea tin with a fall theme.   I thought that this would make a great little gift for my Stamp Club members.  Of course, I filled each one with my Texas Roasted Pecans!

The designer paper on this first tin is from the All is Bright designer papers.

Cut one 12"x 3" to wrap around the tin.  Cut one 3 5/8"x 2 1/8" piece for the top.  Use the Envelope Maker to round the corners for the piece on the top.

Cut 16" of ribbon to tie around the can. Ahead of time, I made some double bows to add after you have pulled the ribbon around the can.

The tag is 2 1/2"x 5/8".  The greeting and mistletoe are from the Spirited Snowman Set.

This designer paper is from the Under the Mistletoe series.

Cindy Crump, one of my Thursday night stamp club members used the Copper Tea Tins to make this beautiful gift.

Cindy used the Share What You Love Designer Paper.

Then she made some special honey to go along with the tea inside the tin!

Botanical Butterfly Sneak Peak: Black and White

Here is another black and white print with another of the beautiful black and white papers.

• The Botanical Butterfly designer paper is 2 1/2"x 5 1/2".
• The ribbon border punch really accents the paper.
• I used the Tufted Embossing Folder.  Next time, I think I'll use the Layering Leaves Embossing Folder.
• The little black butterfly was punched from the Butterfly Duet Punch.
• The greeting is from the Butterfly Gala Stamp Set in the 2019 Occasions Catalog.

More Botanical Butterfly Desginer Paper Sneak Peak

Today I am showing you my favorite design from the colored sides of the Occasions 2019 Botanical Butterfly papers.

The butterfly is punched out with the new Butterfly Duet Punch.  The designer paper is a second one of the colored prints.  It is not stamped and colored in.

I like this card.  It ended up being a little bit more fussy than I had hoped it would be.

I'm going to show you an easier version of this card below

• The background is embossed with the Layered Leaves Embossing Folder.
• The main card is cut so that only 3/4" of the white remains on the front after you fold it.
• The right panel of white is 1 3/4".
• The Designer Paper is 2"x 5 1/2".  The panel is recessed.
• So I cut two 1/2"x 5 1/2" pieces of both black and Old Olive cardstocks and added them on the left and right of the panel of designer paper.
• After I attached it all, I added a full 5 1/2"x 4 1/4" piece of white on the back of the front half of the card so that all of the layering wouldn't show.
• Once again, the colored butterfly is simply punched out.

For this second card, the main card is 5 1/2"x 8 1/2" folded and is not cut at all.

• The black layer is 2 1/2".
• The Old Olive layer is 2 1/4".
• The designer paper layer is 2".
• Simply layer the three pieces and add them to the front of the card.
• The greeting is from the Occasions 2019 Humming Along set.
• The butterfly is punched out with the Butterfly Duet Punch.
