Pressed Petals Journal - Great Gift Idea!

This journal will make such a nice gift or it will be nice to have for yourself.

I used the Petal Label Dies on the Merry Merlot card stock and added the Pressed Petals designer Paper to create the front of the journal.

The Pressed Petals Washi Tape makes a very interesting focal point for the front of the journal.

The pages inside are not blank.  The words on the pages are printed. I did not add any words to the journal.

The top of the page below says "Grateful for Small Things, Big Things, and everything in between

The page below (right hand side of the page) says "The secret to having it all all is KNOWING THAT YOU ALREADY DO".

There are 24 pages in the journal.

I'm definitely going to be giving this journal for Christmas gifts this year!

I have listed what you will want to have on hand in order to make this card.

Please add the September Host Code  to your order which is NPW7F6BH.

If you order is $150 or more, then you do not use the host code and you get the benefit of the hostess credit!  That's fun!!!

Butterfly Beauty Gift/Treat - So Versatile

This is a treat that I made a while ago.  I'm going to show it to you today because a friend came by and wanted me to put it on my blog!

You could his simple idea to make a treat for so many different themes:  Fall, Halloween, Christmas, Birthday, Valentines etc.

Here is what you see from the side:

• Score an 8 1/2"x 3" piece of card stock at 3 1/2"x 5".
• Round the corners (or not) with the Envelope Maker or any corner round punch.
• I added the Layered Leaves Embossing Folder (not available again...yet...but it will be back soon)
• I cut the larger butterfly die out using white c/s.
• I cut the accent butterfly die out using one of the new in colors, Rococo Rose.
• The ribbon is new Scalloped Linen Ribbon Rococo Rose and threads through a 1/4" punched hole.

I put a little cello bag inside with candy.

I have listed what you will want to have on hand in order to make this card.

More Stamped Gifts from last Saturday's Meeting

Bev and Yolie are two more demonstrators who made 10 gifts each for last Saturday's meeting.

Nice ideas and great work, ladies!

Bev Adams bought these 12" ceramic (non shiny) tiles at Home Depot. 

She stamped with StazOn and allowed it to dry.  Then she carefully colored in the images with our Stampin' Blend Markers.

She sprayed the stamped tile with a light coat of Rust Oleum and let it dry and then sprayed a second coat onto the tile.

The backing is cut from cork contact paper.

Here are the two corners up close.

  

Yolie Martinez made these very pretty Christmas mugs.  (Could easily be made for any theme)

Yolie got her idea from Linda Parker's You Tube Video.  Click here for the tutorial.

Since Yolie had taught me how to make the mugs, I wanted to give all of hers away at the meeting.  Hers had a cute cello bag with treats inside each mug and an layers oval with Merry Christmas glued to the front of each mug!

Thank you for stopping by.

Stamped Gifts for the 9-22-18 UdderlyAwesome Meeting

Each time we have a meeting, I ask three demonstrators to make ten gifts each. 

We give these away to guests and to all of the demonstrators who help with with the meeting.

Thank you, ladies, for these amazing gifts!!!!

Chery LeFore made this beautiful little gift that holds two gift cards.  I'm including several pictures.

Cheryl used the Dashing Deer Bundle and the Nothing Sweeter Bundles along with the Festive Farmhouse Designer Series Paper.  The 5/8" Striped Burlap Trim is on page 13 on of the Holiday Catalog.

And when you open it up, you see this:

I'm leaving this big so you can see it really well.

This is 11"x 3 1/2", scored at 5" and 6".

The finished size of the little pockets is 3 1/4"x 2 1/4" with 1/4" sides.

Here is the 3"x 3" gift card.

The greeting on the closure clip is from Bring on the Presents.

Thank you for stopping by.

Tea Caddie Box with an Instruction Attachment

The third demonstrator who made ten gifts for last Saturday's meeting is Judy Westcott.

Click Here for the document with instructions for how to make this super cute Tea Caddie gift box.

Judy used Old Olive card stock and the new Share What You Love Designer Series Paper.

Mini Treat Bag expanded

I needed a way to gift wrap one of my calendar gifts to put into the mail so

I widened the Mini Treat Bag!

Here is what it ended up looking like.

The tag on the front covers up the overlap so that no one even notices.

The tag was one of many tags that Cindy Crump made and gave all of her Stamp Club members for Christmas!  Thank you, Cindy!

Cut out two of the larger parts to the Mini Treat Bag and one of the smaller pieces.  Cut off the flap to the smaller piece.  It is really important to fold the folds precisely.

Overlap the two large pieces so that they create the size that you need. Fasten them together with Sticky Strip.

Now just add the smaller flap onto either the left or the right side again.  I think you will figure out what all you need to Sticky strip.  I folded the flaps up and  over after I had fastened the sides together.

Run it through an embossing folder.  The very bottom flaps are too thick to go through the Big Shot, but you are still fine.

The Embossing Folder takes away the "put together" look.

Expanding this is a bit of busy work and I wouldn't do it unless I really needed it.

I really needed it!

Please e-mail me if you have any questions.

Thank you for stopping by!

 

 

Chocolate Tin

What a Unique way to present a gift of chocolate ! 

This tin, designed by Sandy Hoefakker, is very simple to make and uses no stamp sets or ink.  The tins can be purchased at www.specialtybottle.com.

Supplies used to decorate this tin are:

Scallop from the Big Shot Pennant Die, 1 3/8" Circle Punch,

1 1/4" Circle Scallop Punch, Stampin' Up!'s Holiday Treasures Designer Papers, and chocolate nuggets- each individually covered.

What about making one of these for Valentine's, too!  This idea will be apart of my  Big Shot Class scheduled for February 9, 2009. 

Check out my Calendar for other classes to be held here in my craft room here in Duarte CA.

Coaster Calendars

Each year I get some little calendars to add to projects.  This one uses a coaster from the OutBack Steakhouse.

I added a layer of Bordering Blue c/s, then a layer of Not Quite Navy Designer Paper from the hostess Print Pack.  I found another use for the Real Red Scallops that I have been getting from using the Pennant Die Cut.  And of course, the Styled Silver Hodgepodge Hardware add a really nice touch for interest.

For the back:

I added a layer of Not Quite Navy the exact size of the coaster.  You could also add a magnet on the back and it would be great for a refrigerator!

If you are interested, I have order 100 of the Vippies Calendars which measure 1 3/4"x 1 1/2" and will glad to share some of them with you.  They are 5 for $1 but I'll need to add tax and shipping after they arrive. 

E-mail me if you are interested in getting some for a project that you would like to make.
