Domed Pedestal with Floral Bouquet & Card!

A fitting tribute, this flower bouquet is enthroned on a glimmering pedestal and protected under a shiny clear dome. Flowers in Wisteria Wonder, So Saffron, and Blushing Bride are tied around their stems with silky Wisteria Wonder Seam Binding.  My coordinating card is dedicated to my sister, but could also be a fitting tribute to your lovely mother or other special woman in your life.

Art Canvas & Garland Decor!

With this tutorial, you’ll learn to make two home décor items that are perfect for Valentine’s Day but, since they stray from the traditional colors of pink and red, it won’t be necessary to rush to put them away.  First up is the adorable black canvas, which would be a sweet gift item, featuring the Hearts Decorative Mask.  You will probably make a list of people for whom you can make a canvas once you see how easy it is to go from a blank canvas to WOW.  The second project is a heart garland that you will thoroughly enjoy making!  It is surprisingly quick and easy from start to finish, and it has such a sweet presentation that you will be looking for the perfect place to hang it—and leave it year-round.  Lastly, there’s a greeting card that coordinates with the canvas and garland.

Clear Case Project for Stamp Class!

 This is the super fun and practical project we'll be making at stamp class this week! We'll use a Clear Stamp Case to hold a note pad, a pocket (for receipts, notes, whatever), a yearly calendar and a coordinating pen! I love this project!!
