Christmas gifts!

I made these cute clear case notebook holders for Christmas. Kris showed us how at the Christmas retreat! They are super easy!

The other two gift ideas were from the swap. My mom made the cute coffee gift using our skinny bags! Amber made the planner by decorating a planner she bought at a department store! Thanks for the great ideas ladies!!

Christmas Tag Bag and Coffee Card

These were a couple of projects we did at our annual holiday retreat! We had a great time and appreciate the wonderful group we get to stamp with for the day!

Christmas is coming!

This card has a very elegant look to it because of the rhinestones, golden cardstock and seam binding ribbon. I love the added texture the dry embossed and torn paper adds, too.

Happy Halloween!

My sister made this cute card set: card, gift card holder, favor for our club last month!

Valentine Gift Tag

These were the favors I made for our Stamp Camp in Park

River the other weekend. Thank you everyone for attending and the lovely demos Kris and Lisa who are so creative and do such beautiful work. (I have a link to Kris's site at the left)

These gift tags were run through the big shot to cut and then emboss. I used build-a-brads and lots of punches!! I thought these would be cute hanging from a wine bottle as a gift or just on the outside of a package.

Happy Valentine's Day!

Thank you mom for the lovely Valentine. Sorry for all of the interfence when I was taking the picture. I love how all of our SU colors complement each other! I have seen some incredible projects done with our new fabric which coordinates with our colors too. I will post them soon.

Last of the Christmas projects!

Here is an ornament I made using some fake snow, the Big Shot and snowflake die, ribbon and one of our treat cups.
The second picture are a couple of examples of some wonderful swaps we shared that day! Thank you ladies again for your awesome swaps!!!

More Christmas projects

As I was walking through Sears the ornaments decorating their trees gave me some inspiration. I thought I can make that using some felt and my Big Shot and sure enough they turned out very cute. The first picture are the decorations at Sears and the next is the ornament I made at our Holiday Retreat. I know we have ribbon that looks a lot like the ribbon covering the ball ornament, but I didn't get a chance to try that one. Maybe next year!!

Christmas Gifts that I made!!

Some of the pictures posted sideways. Sorry - I am not sure why?





Here is a message board I made using Kris as inspiration. I also made a Christmas magnet, file clips and sticky note gift for a teacher by decorating one of our SU tins.

Halloween Card

My sister made me this one too. Isn't she wonderful?!!! She was inspired by an awesome stamping site: dawnsstampingthoughts.typepad.com
A great place for inspiration!

The ghosts are made out of the Owl punch and the pumpkin out of ovals. I love the new shimmer brads!

Happy Halloween!

My sister made this card. I like the smooch over the black cardstock it makes the web pop and adds a a little festive shine.

Supplies: Web embossing folder and Topnote die with big shot, smooch spray, DSP paper, Scallop Punch, Circle Punch, Halloween stamp set, google eyes, Rich Razzelberry, Black and Gray cardstocks, and black ink

Merry Christmas...in July...I mean August!

The Holidays will be right around the corner and with the new Holiday mini coming soon it got me inspired to think of fun Christmas gifts! These are some projects we did at our last Christmas retreat. My sister and I are looking at setting the date for 2010. We want to do it a little earlier this year so I will let you know when we decide! Last year many of our projects were made from a Scrapkit.
