Get Well Soon

Hello! Happy Saturday everyone! Here is the other 3-D project that we made in my monthly stamping class. This was another hit and the ladies were excited to bring home this oh so cute tissue holder. I was excited to make this card for class, too. Ever since I got this tissue holder from Andrea as one of the swaps from Nicole's AMAZING tea party downline meeting and after seeing my friend Jen demo it at our Spring Sampler stamp camp, I was inspired and knew that I had to CASE them one day :) Click here to check out Andrea's tissue holder and click here to check out Jen's.

Thanks for stopping by and enjoy your weekend :)

Petite Purse

Hello everyone! Today I'd like to share a project that the ladies got to make in my March stamping class. I mixed this class up a bit with several cards and a couple 3-D projects. This 3-D project was a hit and was so fun and easy to make!

I used the Petite Purse Bigz L die (125606) and cut out several pieces using some Everyday Enchantment Designer Series Paper (126154), which you can find in the Clearance Rack. Click here to check it out and click here to check out all the other great deals.

After putting the purse together, we used the Itty Bitty Shapes Punch Pack (118309) and a Rhinestone Basic Jewel (119246) to add an embellishment on the flap of the purse. Wouldn't these purses make such adorable party favors?!?!

There were several different purses all around since they got to choose which side of the DSP they wanted the purse to be.

Stay tuned for all the other projects from last month's class :)

Thanks for stopping by and have a great day!

Manicure in a Jar

Hello everyone and Happy Friday!! I have a super cute gift to show you today. My friend Chan is outta hand! She's amazing. She not only sends birthday cards, anniversary cards and even sympathy cards (which are hard to make but always appreciated when received) but she also gives little favors to her friends! Like this Manicure in a jar that she gave us demos at Stamp Camp. And did I mention SHE was one of the Demos at stamp camp and she made this for the rest of us gals?!?! She's so sweet :)

I love the tag that she added to the jar. Love framelits and love butterflies :) Super cute.

And these are all of the goodies that we found inside. See why I say she's outta hand!?! hehehe. She's super awesome! 

Thank you so much Chan! {{hugs}}

Oh and hop on over to Two Rosie Cheeks to check out all of her amazing projects :)

Thanks for stopping by and have a wonderful Friday!!

Halloween Treats

Hey everyone! Hope you're having a fun weekend :) Sorry for the late post today but I've been busy with party decorations and birthday cards. Stay tuned for those projects. I'll be sharing them with you soon. Today, I wanted to share the treats that I handed out to all my friends in my department at work. I got the idea from my friend and upline Nicole. It was also in the SU catalog but she inspired me to make them when she gave them to us awhile back.

They were so fun to make and they were a hit at work :) Click here to check out the witch's broom that Nicole made for us and she even has a pretty cool tutorial on how to make them. She's awesome :) My friend Marita and my husband had a great idea - making brooms with an "SF" tag on them since the San Francisco Giants swept in the World Series :D hehehehe. Fun, right?

Thanks for stopping by and have a wonderful weekend :)

Don't forget about day light savings tomorrow!

Think Pink Decor

Hello! Today I want to share the lovely decorations from our Think Pink event that took place last Week. It was such a fun event and thanks to all the ladies who came out to craft with us. The projects were fun, the food was tasty, the drinks were yummy and the ladies were great to hang out with.

On the banister is that cute pink wreath and that pretty THINK PINK banner.

 

And from the ceiling, these cute paper decor were hanging here and there in the front room.
 

Waiting at the door were these pretty pink leis for the ladies attending our Think Pink event.
 

There were even some favors and bracelets for everyone.

And look at those cute little swag bags that we gave out so that the ladies could put all of their projects in.
 

This was such a fun event and thanks again to all the lovely ladies who came and to all the demos who helped put on this event :) If you couldn't make it to this event, hopefully you can make it to the next one! We will be having another event in November so stay tuned for more info.

Have a wonderful day and thanks for stopping by!

Fancy Footwear

Hey everyone! So, one of my gal pals at work is celebrating a very special birthday in a few days and of course we had to do up her cube with favors, cards, flowers, balloons and a banner. Because you know, that's how we roll ;) hehe.

Here are the shoe favors that I made for her. She is a shoe FANATIC! and let me tell you, she is always rockin' a cute pair of shoes every day! I got the inspiration to make these shoes from my upline and friend Nicole's friend Sia. Sia is awesome and so super creative! Check out her cute heels here. And Sia got the shoe template from Skip to my Lou, which is a pretty awesome blog. You should check it out!

So, I made 6 different shoes and we picked fun and colorful patterns for the birthday girl. And I embellished each one with it's own flare. Check them out...
 

And stay tuned for the rest of the birthday decorations. The other gals were hard at work to make this birthday special, too :) I can't wait to share them with you!

Have a great day and thanks for stopping by :)

In Color Dahlias

Hello! Here is a gift that my upline Nicole surprised me with when they got back from Convention. Have I mentioned that I so want to go to Convention next year? Especially since it will the 25th anniversary for Stampin' Up! How cool would that be?!?!

These were her roommate gifts. How sweet is that? All the ladies on our team who went made special gifts for each other. Check out Nicole's post about her roommate gifts here. This project so makes me want to bust out my sewing machine.

And look what was inside the cute little draw string bag! A super cute ring and hair pin. I was so excited to find this little surprise in my craft bag :D Nicole is such an awesome upline! 

How adorable are the In Color Dahlias (127556)? And even so much cuter on these 3D projects, right?! The Midnight Muse dahlias are one of my faves and I totally wore my hair pin to work the next day. hehe.

Thanks again Nicole!

Thanks for stopping by and have a great day :)

Fancy Favor

Hello! Today I'd like to share a little big shot project. I saw something in the new 2012-2013 catalog and it inspired me to try something outside of the box.

So, I am a HUGE Big Shot fan and I practically love EVERYTHING Big Shot :) For this project, I used the Fancy Favor Bigz XL Die (115965), which is one of my go-to party favor dies. But, I changed it up a bit.

Like I mentioned earlier, I saw something like this in the new catalog and I simply had to try it out. So, I sat there, stared at the picture for a bit and then this is what I came up with. I used the Word Window Punch (119857) to create a slit in the front of the Fancy Favor. And I used one of the smaller labels from the Labels Collection Framelits (125598) to create the flap closure.

That's what the front and back look like. And just finish it up with whatever embellishments you like :) I used a Designer Button, which can be found on page 176 in the catalog. And some Baker's Twine, which can be found on page 172. 

I love the Stampin' Up! catalogs. Not only do I love looking through the pages to add things to my ever growing Wish List, but I love the inspiration that I get from them, too! There are so many projects and you never know what may inspire you when you open up a catalog. If you'd like your very own New 2012-2013 Stampin' Up! catalog, email me :)


Thanks for stopping by and enjoy your Sunday :D
