Bride & Groom Wedding Favors

I've been doing some research on wedding invitations for a friend and stumbled upon these wedding milk cartons by Jo Hope...and I just had to make it, of course! I'd have to say...I wasn't going to purchase the milk carton die and now I'm gonna have to own one because I don't think my client and friend will let me keep her die forever, LOL!!! Anyways, these were fun to make :)

I combined the Bride and Groom onto one box. I made 2 different boxes so that I can show the sample of it side by side and I can play with different colors.  Nice excuse, huh?

Products used: Big Shot Machine, Milk Carton Die, 1 3/8 Circle Punch, 5 Petal Punch, My Way Punch, SU Texturz Templates, Organza Ribbon, 1/4 Ribbons in Tempting Turquoise and Pretty in Pink, Silver brads, Rhinestones, Sticky Strip, Snail Adhesive and Mini Glue Dots.

More Fabric Flowers

I had so much fun making these flowers. One of my friends let me pick out some fabric from her collection, so pretty, huh? Thanks Adrienne! I love having these around, they make a great, quick and easy gift. I donated 20 of them to my church for Mother's Day and they all loved it! If you don't have the Big Shot machine yet, here's a great reason to.  Ask me for a special package.

Here's a great video tutorial on how to make them. Thanks to Angie Kennedy for making this video.

3D Workshop

We made these for the workshop this past Sunday. Look at all the creativity going on that night...lots of fun!

Products used: Big Shot Machine, Milk Carton Die, Matchbox Die, Little Leaf Sizzlit, Scallop Circle punch, Large Oval punch, Scallop Oval punch, Pop Up Glue Dots and ribbons.

Petal Card Bookmark

I've been wanting to make these Petal Card Bookmarks for the longest time. I got the idea from Sue at The Soggy Stamper. It is super easy and fun to make! I changed it up a bit. I used a 4x4 paper Designer Series Paper and just placed it so that it doesn't cut 2 of the petals. This saves paper and I don't think you need a pocket on both sides. I used the Animal Crackers stamp set and used the 1 1/4 and 1 3/8 Circle Punches and the Scallop Circle Punch. I adhered the petal together with Tombow glue. I love how it dries so quickly! Did you know this can be a repositional glue? I use it to convert some of my old wood mounted stamps so that I can use it as a clear mounted stamp. Presto, it is done! I put Dimensionals on the stamped imaged to give it a lift and it worked out perfectly. I made one each for my husband and son :)

Ladies Night Out & Raffle Gift

I had a booth at my son's school, Rosa Parks Elementary. I sold Italian Charm Link bracelets, handmade gifts and Mother's Day cards/greeting cards. Here's my raffle prize: a $20 gift certificate for Stampin' Up! products/workshops and a Flower Pin/Clip in a Decorated Gable Box.

Squash Book Workshop

                                  

Here are the Squash Books that the ladies made the workshop this past Sunday. Aren't they beautiful? It was a little tricky, but once they figured it out, it was easy peasy! Super easy to make. I got this idea from a fellow demonstrator of mine, Jessica Ying, and found the tutorial for it on http://www.splitcoaststampers.com/.

Workshop Open Door Women's Ministry

Last Saturday was a full day for me! I had a booth at a local Senior Center and then a workshop with the Ladies at Open Door Church. There were 13 wonderful ladies there. We made a gift bag and a card. Here's what everyone made:

Gift Certificate Holder

I had a surprise call from one of my client's coworkers asking if they can buy gift certificates for her. So I made up a couple of holders for them. Here's what I came up with. I used a retired Stampin' Wheel stamp, Organza Ribbon, Chocolate Chip and Pretty in Pink cardstock, Picture This Stamp Host stamp set, Modern Label Punch and the beautiful Scallop Trim Edge punch. She is one loved secretary!
