3x3 Thank you

Inspired by other demonstrators, I have decided to add a little 3x3 Thank you card to all of my orders. For the month of January I CASED this card from the back of the New Occasions Mini Catalogue! All of the Stampin' Up! catalogues (including the mini's) are full of easy to recreate cards! I challenge you to CASE one today!

Barb and I had a stamping morning together, and here is the 3x3 card she made!

Can you spot the Top Note die cut in this card?

Love it! New ways to use those dies!

Will be posting February's 3x3 card soon! OR maybe I should keep it a surprise!?

Christmas Open House

It was so nice to see everyone at the Open House!

It gave us a chance to catch up and get into the holiday spirit!

A HUGE THANKS to Barb and Michael for opening and decorating their home.

Michael made all of the food and treats for us! Have a look!

One of the many displays.

The whole food table.

The Prizes.

We gave out tickets for RSVP, bringing a friend, and for having random things like lip gloss!

You were then able to enter your ticket into the prize you wanted to win.

Our Make 'N' Take Table.

We had 2 to do!

We also had a few homemade gifts for sale too.

(Table is looking a little bare at the time of this photo!)

Enjoying the food!

Barb and I.

Thanks again to everyone for the wonderful evening!

Looking forward to doing this again next year!

Merry Christmas!

November's Club and Tag Class

I held a Tags Till Christmas Class this November.

We made the little box too!

I had seen a bunch of these tag boxes online, but in the end had to come up with my own pattern in order to fit the tags that I wanted in it!

We ended up making 10 different tags using all the stamps from the Tags till Christmas set.

It took longer then I thought to make, but was worth it!

Here are this months Club projects.

A great little gift card holder. Barb shared her pattern with me! Thanks Barb!

The inside.

My favorite! A Hot Chocolate pouch!

And we played with the Letterpress plates to create this card.

We used whisper white craft ink which can be a little messy, but loved how simple it was to create this card.

Barb and I have been working hard on getting everything ready for the big Open House on Nov. 27th. We have made lots of little stocking stuffers for sale too!

Looking forward to seeing everyone there!

October's Stampin' Club Projects

Hope you're having a great Thanksgiving weekend!

This month we used my new favorite stamp set from the mini catalogue called "French Foliage". And I bought myself a brayer! Don't know why it took me 4 years as a demonstrator before I got this cool tool....but it did!

Anyway we used it to do this cool technique called Emerging Color.

First you sponge ink (more mustard, ridding hood red, tangerine tango, old olive, and soft suede) all over glossy card stock. Then you ink up your leaf in versa mark, stamp, pour clear emboss powder and heat. Once cool ink up your brayer in Chocolate chip ink and roll over image. Let dry and wipe off excess ink on the leaves. Fun technique!

Our next card used French foliage and Seasonal Sentiments stamp sets (from the mini). #2 leaves die for the Big Shot. Used some Log Cabin Smooch Spritz too! Oh and love the little brads that look like metal buttons from the Vintage Trinkets.

And Last we made a Treat holder out of the Candy Wrapper die from the new mini.

The word "Gratitude" is from the stamp set Fabulous Phrases. Spritzed this too with Log Cabin Smootch. We added a Lindt Chocolate Ball to the inside. (Wonder how many of those made it home?)

Thanks for a great time Ladies!

Happy Thanksgiving!
