Oh, Hello Spring Card

Here's a bright Spring card I made using some goodies that I received and WON at the Stampin' Up! Leadership Conference.  For attending, we all received the stamp set Oh, Hello. 

 

I was excited to use the 5/8" Flower Trim, too, since we learned how to die it different colors (it comes in Vanilla) using a sponge dauber and an ink pad.  I was also excited to use it since I WON a package from the Prize Patrol at Leadership!  Yay!

Cardstock:  Daffodil Delight, Island Indigo, Whisper White

Ink: Lucky Limeade, Island Indigo
Stamps:  Oh, Hello
Accessories: Big Shot, Labels Collection Framelits, Vine Street Embossing Folder (SAB 2013), 5/8" Flower Trim
Misc: Sponge Dauber

Leadership 2013 Big Shot Treat Swaps

While I enjoy doing cards, I truly love making 3-D projects.  Especially when they involve candy.  :)
So, while I was in Orlando a few weeks ago for the Stampin' Up! Leadership Conference, I participated in a Big Shot Treat Swap.  I made several boxes that hold Hershey's Kisses candies using the Scallop Square Bigz Die.  I used most of the 2011-2013 In-Colors and I just loved how they came out. 

As you can see by the tag I made, I was able to sneak in some yummy new Sale-a-Bration product goodies!!

Happy New Year 2013!!

Happy New Year!  I hope you had a wonderful holiday season! 
I got a little busy with preparing for the holidays so I didn't get to post the rest of the tissue holders that I had made.  These ones used the Candy Cane Christmas fabric (still only $0.99 on the Clearance Rack).  I used this group for a swap with my downline as well as gifts for my Stamp Club members, my daughter's teacher and my family. 

Again, I used scraps to die cut circles (using the Circles #2 dies) and my Big Shot so I could make 'Yo-yo's to embellish with.  

I'm sure I'll be making more.  They're a cute gift, easy to make and really inexpensive!!

Christmas Gift Swap 2012

Did I say that I don't sew?  Well...  I got out the sewing machine.  And I actually sewed something.  And now I'm addicted.  Ugh.  

I came across a tutorial for these Tissue Holders and I thought they looked easy enough.  So I made a 'few'.  Those 'few' turned into 22.  And I want to make more.  Crazy, I know.  But they are 'SEW' easy!  (ha ha)

 

I embellished them by using a 'yo-yo' and some retired Cherry Cobbler ribbon.  To make the 'yo-yo', I cut a circle using the Circles #2 die (the 2-1/2" circle).  I folded in the edges of the circle and hand sewed a loose stitch around the edges.  Then I pulled it tight and secured it to the Tissue Holder along with the ribbon.  Easy Peasy!

Since they were fairly easy to make, I had lots of fabric and they are light enough to ship, these are my SUFriendsForever Christmas Gift swap for this year.  I hope the ladies enjoy these!
These would also make great teachers gifts! 

This fabric is currently available on the Clearance Rack for only $0.99!! While supplies last!

Fabric Flower Embellishment

Another No-Sew Project!  Love it!  This idea came from Stampin' Success - the Demonstrator only magazine that we get every other month filled with great ideas.  A quick, easy way to decorate one of our Kraft Gift Boxes (4 for only $2.95!). 

Since I used the Vintage Faceted Designer Buttons - which are clear- I punched out and added a small circle of Cherry Cobbler cardstock to add some color under the button.

This fabric is currently available on the Clearance Rack for only $0.99!! While supplies last!

Fabric Scissors Holder

Let me start this by saying I DON'T SEW.   This Fabric Scissors Holder is a perfect project for me because you can do it without any sewing at all.  I originally saw this idea at Convention 2012 and just knew I had to make one.  So, we made these at my November Stamp Club.  The idea, along with a great video, can be found here on Laura Milligan's blog.  She presented both a no-sew version and a version that can you can sew if you choose.  The great thing is that they fit Stampin' Up!s paper snips perfectly!

 

And, even better, the fabric can currently be purchased on the Clearance Rack for only $0.99!! While supplies last!
