Shower Favors!

I have had the privilege of making shower favors for two wonderful gals at my church!  One a baby shower, the other a bridal shower!  What a blessing it is to be part of the start of something in their lives!!

For the baby shower, I made some little booties - I used Daffodile Delight cardstock and Pretty In Pink Polkadot Scallop Ribbon, as well as a little bling on the side!! 

Inside was a little note thanking everyone - from the baby - and Hershey Kisses and filled strawberry candy!

I love how the photographer captured these darling little favors!!

 The second shower was the Bridal Shower for our pastor's daughter!!  It was a great opportunity to make favors using Stampin' Up!'s Big Shot die - Blossom Box!  It was a lot of fun to work with and I made 100 favors!  What made it even more fun was her other two sisters came and helped me! 

 Looks like a whole box of beautiful cupcakes! lol

 A look at the favor from the side!

Look how pretty they looked on the table!

These were fun to make!  I used the following dies:  Blossom Box, Daisy Die, Beautiful Butterflies!  I also used the Curly Label punch!  Inside the butterfly were the pearls we carry.

Do you have a party coming up and need favors?  Contact me and I can help you!

SnowGlobe!!

I just love Christmas!!  I love making Christmas Cards and I had lots of fun making this card!  I love Snowglobes and I was really excited when my Christmas Card group wanted to do one!! 

You can see below that I did the inside of the snowglobe with a more 3D effect by stamping the house and trees and cutting them out and then adhering them overtop the stamped image using Stampin' Dimensionals!

On the inside of the snowglobe I used our new Mica Flakes, available in the Holiday Mini catalog, which is available on September 1st!!!  YAY!!!

We made this fun card at my Christmas Card Group today, along with some gift tags!!

It's always a lot of fun hangin out and stampin some Christmas themed projects!  If you'd like to get together with some of your friends/family and make some Christmas Cards/Tags, call me today and let's set up a date!!

Wedding Card for a Friend!

One thing I love about what I do is being able to make cards for others! I was so honored to be asked by a friend to make a card for her for an upcoming wedding! I was so happy to deliver the card below to her!

It was fun creating the Bride & Groom Hearts!!  I embossed the Whisper White cardstock for the Bride Heart with Elegant Lines embossing folder for the Big Shot - I also embossed the Whisper White background with the Perfect Polkadots embossing folder - which is actually my Favorite embossing folder!!

Very simple!!  I was done in like 15 minutes!!  YAY!!!  Love quick cards!!

Nugget Box!!

I have been wanting to make a Nugget Box ever since I first saw the Matchbox Die for the Big Shot!!  I finally got that chance!  On top of it - I got to use my favorite punch - the Butterfly punch - to embellish it!!  Don't you think it makes the most adorable little gift or even a party/shower favor?? 

For the Nuggets, I used Avery labels and on each I stamped using the For Everything stamp set and then wrapped the label around each nugget!

Lots of favorites on this - I LOVE the Perfect Polka Dots embossing folder - so I embossed the Whisper White cardstock before punching the Butterfly!!  How fun, huh?!!

So who's name came up that you want to make one of these for???  Let's get together and make it!

Snowman Step!

When I saw this card on Connie Babbert's blog, I KNEW I had to make it!  Connie is a fellow Stampin' Up! Demonstrator who never ceases to inspire others!!  Thanks, Connie!! 

I love Snowmen and especially love this stamp set from the New 2011 Idea Book & Catalog - Snow Much Fun - and I had never done this technique - so I had to do it immediately!  So here ya go!!

Colors used were from the new 2011 In Colors - Pool Party, Wisteria Wonder, and a little of Calypso Coral stamped on the background, which I stamped using the snowflakes from the Snow Swirled stamp set using the above colors and the snowman was colored with our watercolor pencils!  This card was so amazingly simple!! and I just think it is absolutely adoreable!!!  Don'tcha think?!!!
