Workshop Customer Gifts

      I love making little gifts for my customers to give to them when they attend my workshops. Just a little gratitude for the precious time they take out of their busy life's to see me and craft with me. If you would like one too and you live close by, check with me for classes.      

    This time I made small pizza boxes and decorated them with the Gather Together Bundle. The box is made with a piece of cardstock 4" x 7 1/2" scored at 1/2", 31/2", 4" and 7 1/2".  I cut the leaf with the largest leaf die and stamped one leaf with black Stazon on a piece of Window Sheet. I made sure when I assembled the box that the cut out leaf and the leaf on the Window Sheet lined up. Then I decorated it with some twine and leaves from the Gather Together dies. Did you know these leaves also emboss, which makes it really cool!     Hope my customers will like them. What do you think?        

   

SMILE!

      Want to put a smile on somebody's face? Why not send that person a card just because? With a kind message written inside, this card is guaranteed to make anyone's day. This daisy stamp from the Daisy Lane stamp set is just perfect for that.        

    It doesn't have to be this fancy fold card with I don't know how many layers and fancy embellishments.  I'm pretty sure the recipient will know that you put a lot of effort and love in it's creation.     Thank you for stopping by!        

Gather Together

  This is a little teaser for the upcoming Holiday Catalog. But do not worry its only a few more days until the release. I love the colors of Fall!  Stampin'Up! really reflected all these colors in the Come To Gather Designer Series Paper. I used half of an Acetate Card Box and wrapped it in a 2 1/2" x 12" piece of one of the paper.     

 

     Here is a closeup of the medallion I created to put on the front. I simply dipped the Leaf cut and embossing dies into the same colored ink pad as the paper and look at the awesome texture.    

     The leaves will be turning soon.  What will you create?            

Check this out!

    I just received some new goodies from our new Holiday Catalog and had to play with them right away.  Yes, we are talking holidays already, and don't panic, the catalog will be released to the public in the beginning of September. We demonstrators just get the privilege to order a few weeks ahead of time so we are prepared to show you the new products.   

For today's project I actually used a couple of stamps sets. I started out with the Gather Together and the Birch Background stamp set  but than I wanted to add a little bit more color and included the Daisy Lane and the Rooted in Nature stamp set. 

These four sets are perfect to create a gorgeous Fall card. 

What do you think? 

            Have a great weekend!                   

Oktoberfest is not too far off

    I know I'm a little early but I wanted to make some table decorations for Oktoberfest. Since I am of Germany heritage,  I love to decorate my house for what we call the 5th season of the year. The Daisy, the Poppy and the Corn flower are traditional flowers for this time.    

 The daisy was easy since Stampin'Up! released a medium version of this flower. After a little brainstorming I was able to come up with the Poppy by using one of the Magnolia Memory dies. The problem came when I tried to create the Corn Flower. I searched for pictures online of the real thing to come up with an idea. I was able to use the Daisy punch and modified the leafs, by cutting little slits in every petal.

       I'm very pleased with my finished project. I'm happy I was able to create my vision with just a few changes. It's always good to think outside the box.      I would love to hear your thoughts on this project!
Thanks for checking out my latest project.  

Lattice Card

    This is another project we will be making during my workshops happening in August. The Garden Lane Designer Series Paper is just perfect for the Lattice Card. And the Daisy Lane Bundle just completes the look.    What do you think?  
   

    I love this monochromatic look using some greens and just adding white.    This is the perfect card to say hello to all the gardeners out there.    Thank you for visiting my blog!           

Mason Jar Candle

      This is one of the projects we will make this month during my workshops. It's getting close to Fall and what is nicer than to sit  under a cozy blanket with some candle light. OK, I admit I'm a total romantic. Why not decorate your candle holder matching the season. Stampin'Up! carries so many different flowers and other stamp sets which are making it easy to decorate your home.        

    I used Terracotta Tile to stamp my daisy, I think it is the perfect color for Fall. In the background you see a strip of Vellum which I stamped with the Birch background stamp. I think this makes it a perfect match.      Thank you for stopping by!    Have a nice weekend!
