Simple Note Card Gifts

Here are a few of the Note Card gifts I put together for Katy's teachers. I wanted to be sure I didn't add to their clutter, so I decided to give them cards they could use. I simply added some Designer Series Papers to the pre-scored Note Cards from Stampin' Up! (Item #107311, 20 cards with envelopes for $5.95).



I used different stamp sets for each. the blue ones in the center were stamped with the "Say it With Scallops" set (our Ronald McDonald House Charity stamp set for 2009) then punched them out with the Scallop Square Punch.



For the box base, I just measured the envelopes and added 2" to each side... the envelopes for the Note Cards measure 5 1/8" X 3 5/8", so I cut my coordinating c/s to 9-1/4" X 7-3/4". Then scored at 1" and 2" all the way around, clipped the corners and folded into a box (the sides are reinforced by the double folds to make them sturdier). Add a coordinating belly band and viola! you have a great gift! If you have any questions, I will be happy to clarify.



Thanks for looking!

Top Note Purses - Faux Alligator

Aren't these adorable!!?!?
My upline, Lynda Glassmoyer, surprised me with a very thoughtful gift when I promoted to Manager. She sent me 3 fabulouse tutorials from Gretchen Barron.




Here are the Top Note purses I made from one of those tutorials. They are not too difficult once you master the Faux Alligator Skin Technique - after you use your Sizzix Big Shot and Top Note die with your chosen card stock, ink the entire surface with Versa Mark ink, and clear embossing powder. Use your bone folder or similar implement to drag wavy lines through the powder until it resembles the cracked surface of an alligator. Tap off the excess embossing powder and use your heat gun to set the embossing. The possibilities are endless... you can use this for more purses, belts, shoes, boots, or just a very cool background!

Here is a side view of the purses. they are just big enough to hold a gift card, lip gloss, or a few chocolates! Check out the tutorials offered by Gretchen and give it a try!

Fun S'more Kits!

I have had a lot of fun making s'more kits for gifts! What a fun Summertime treat! These are the treats I made to thank Katy's teachers and staff at her school. I got lots of ooos and ahhhs (music to a stamper's ears!).

The first picture used Ivory Naturals, Real Red, and Chocolate Chip card stock. The stamp set is "Under the Stars" - I absolutely adore this set!

Here is the latest batch of S'more Treats! I switched up the colors a bit, but still used the "Under the Stars" stamp set from Stampin' Up! For these, I used Kraft, Bravo Burgundy, Handsome Hunter, Chocolate Chip, and Very Vanilla.

I even used the Skeeters wheel in the back of the topper.

Happy Father's Day to all the dads out there!

Happy Father's Day!

I just wanted to take a moment and share a project I made last month. It was a fun gift for a friend. She and her husband celebrated their 30th anniversary by renewing their vows. It was a beautiful evening.

It was fun to go to the store and find the items I needed in matching Stampin' Up! Colors - and not hard, either! I set out with the idea of creating a wedding cake of towels for a money holder (figured it was a lot nicer than a card with cash or a gift card). So I found some comfy towels, ribbon that coordinates with SU! colors, a wedding cake photo topper (it was discounted a LOT and I used it in place of a card), and set it all atop a pizza pan. Viola! A special gift for a special couple.

Later this week, I will share some projects I made for the local Beachcomber's Bazaar. Happy Stampin'!

June Stamp-a-Stack

Here are the cards we are making this weekend.

The first one uses Boatloads of Love and the bleaching teachnique. Then we used the Sticky Cuts and red chunky glitter. Then the Free & the Brave set for a patriotic card.

We Doodled a bit with some stylized hardware.

And I love the scallop note cards - perfect for a baby gift... and so easy, too!!! I hope you enjoy these. Let me know if you have any questions.

Happy Stampin'!
