Origami Fold Box for this Week's Classes!

This is the Origami Folded Box we'll be making at stamp classes this week! I saw the idea on Stampin' Connection, and then again at Convention! I LOVE the idea - it's super fabulous that you use just one sheet of 12" x 12" Designer Paper!!!

 

And the sweetest part - a little box inside to fill with treats! LOVE it!!

Hope to see you this week at class!

Back from Covention!

Back from Convention - another awesome Stampin' Up! Event!! So this was one of the cards that I swapped. I used the newest Polymer stamp set - and I LOVE it! It's called Settin' Sail. It's the first polymer set I've used (I did buy one of the first ones that came out a while ago, but haven't used it yet). 

And one of my favorite parts of the card is new burlap ribbon. It will be available in the new holiday catalog - starting August 1st.

I'll be back to share more about Convention - swaps and more... Check back soon!

Happy Birthday, Mom!

Today is my mom's Happy Birthday. Even though we celebrated on Sunday, I will be missing her today. I'm off to Convention in Salt Lake City, and wish she was coming too! I will definitely be thinking of her though.

 

This is the card I made her to go with the gift I got her.

 

I found a tutorial for this super cute bow from Sharon Burkert. I love it!! And Rich Razzleberry is a color that makes me think of my mom - that's why I chose it for her card.

Happy Birthday, Mom!

Mini Travel Album & Suitcase

A mini travel album is the perfect way to save photos and memorabilia from a special trip and to keep special notes and give a written account of the events about the trip!  There is plenty of space for photos and journaling in this mini album, and there are pockets to hold memorabilia.  One thing that’s needed for ever trip is a suitcase, and this mini travel album has its own suitcase cover, which would be a perfect way to present the album to someone who is getting ready to take a special trip.  Several of these suitcases could be placed on a shelf and there’s plenty of space on the closed end of the cover to attach an identifying label!

Happy 4th of July!

This is a card we made at my stamp classes last week - So fun for a 4th of July card!! I was inspired by a sneak peek of a picture HERE I had seen on Dawn Olchefke's blog a while back. Then when I recently saw her full card posted HERE, I realized how different my interpretation was! Funny, how we can see just a part and complete it so differently in our own way!

 

I didn't even waste the little punched out stars - they made a cute accent for the inside of the card!

Hope you have a safe and Happy 4th of July!
