Valentine's Day Wall hanging

Here is the first of several projects I'll be doing in my January Classes.  They will be featuring the Valentine's Bundle on special from Stampin' Up! this month into next.  It was a fun easy project.  

Coaster Calendar

Hi -I haven't posted in over a week-I just seem to have a hard time keeping up the week we go out to New Mexico to visit my DD.  I made this right before we left for my Kids crafts class.  Unfortunately no one signed up, I will be making a bunch to give as gifts-I hope if I have time.  I have so many things I'd like to make and so little time.  So hopefully I'll get my blog rounds done soon and get to enjoy everyone else's creations as well.  The Christmas countdown has begun and we all are rushed I'm sure-so thanks for looking and enjoy the process!  All products are SU! except the calendar.  

Mom and Me Christmas Class

Here is the first of the crafts for this class!  this will be on December 14.  Kids must be over 8 and you don't need to bring a child to attend!  I hope to have picture of the rest of these class projects up soon!

Little Gifts Class

Here are four of the class projects-a cany tin and car freshener, the large jar is the drink Mix-a Minty Hot chocolate and the small jar will have a candle poured in it in bright white-choose which style to make when you arrive!  this class is Friday December 12-RSVP by December 5.

Table-Top Nativity

Here is a project I'm planning for a class this month-it can be either a card or a table top decoration-or both.  It fits in the Small Open End envelope and uses Windsor knot DSP.  I used Chocolate Chip Ink on Sage Shadow Paper.  The Paper is 6" high and each panel is 3.25" wide.  I am going to make these to send to a few special people in my life, I really hope some customers sign up for this class.

WALL HANGINGS

These are small wall hangings I made-all SU products except the wood they are on.  They we very quick and easy, both are watercolored with watercolor crayons and aqua painter.  I drilled the holes and just hammered in the eyelets they couldn't be set but they aren't going anywhere.

Christmas countdown

Here is my countdown to Christmas, I used an oval plaque from the craft store and wooden ovals, the edge is painted with crackle paint-this was my first experience with that.  It was a bit of a pain the wood had to be sanded, sealed then painted. The oval is about 20x12 so I had to use two sheets of DSP to cover the front. The edge of the oval is beveled so I couldn't trace it-I rubbed a lead pencil around the curves to make a line to cut-then made a rough cut, pasted the paper down the used a craft knife to remove the overage.  I then sanded and distress the edge.  The little dots in the vinyl didn't stick to the backing and I had to pick each one off the transfer paper-ugh!  the black stand is from that giant store that has every thing and was $3.89 or so.  This is an amazing project much cuter in person, it did add up to be about $45.00 to make.  The plaque was about 11.80 with coupon, decor element 24.95, paint, sealer, paper, little ovals were 3.25.  I still have to make the rest of the numbers-so I had better finish this!

Stamp-a-Stack

This is the 3-D project for the stamp-a-stack!

Stamp-a-Stack

These are the five cards for The Christmas Card Stamp-a-stack.  I have changed the Mr. Twigster card since the initial draft-I like this one much better.  I hope you do too!  These cards will hopefully be simple enough to finish quickly 3 of each.

Cello topper

Here's a little cello bag full of those fancy new m&ms-who doesn't love these top notes!  

One more for This Thanksgiving

Here is one more water colored card from this stamp set-this one is my favorite-it does use retired ribbon but the ribbon matches this current paper so nice!

color blocked scarecrow

Watercolor paper and watercolor wonder crayons.  Super cute, scarecrow, saffron ribbon, canvas backround-I love to send Thanksgiving cards!

Thanksgiving cricut card

This is a card and envelope, cut out with the cricut-the cricut embelished with stamps and cut from stampin' up! paper.

Happy November!

Happy November-  Wow October was amazing!  Our Phillies won the World Series-and we got to be there!  We have had season tickets for several years-my husband and son have bee diehard fans their whole lives.  Yesterday was Halloween-my son's 16th birthday and we spent the day at the Phillies World Series Parade!  I think my son must be the Luckiest Boy on the Planet!  Here is a Thanksgiving card to show how grateful I am to live in such a wonderful world!  Aqua Painters and Water color crayons-sponge and basic brown ink!  

Post-it note holder

Thanks for all the kind remarks-here is one more to enjoy-it's a post-it note holder-again from the flower for all season set-and this scallop circle we sell now-love it!  I can't get enough of these circles!

Candy Bar Wrapper

Here is a Candy Bar wrapped up as a gift.  quick and easy little gift-love this stamp set-a flower for all Seasons-the lady bug, frog, cardinal, sparrow-so perfect when you want to color a bit-perfect with blender pens!

Tea Bag Holder

Here is a tea bag holder with the flowers for all Seasons stamp class-it's one of the samples I made up to show ways to use the set, I'll post some more of the 3-D samples.  Maybe one a day to keep you visiting!

Thanksgiving framed art

Here is a framed Decor Element-used the Autumn Paper from the Holiday Mini,  The frame is 16x20, I would consider doing this as a class if anyone is interested.  It was quick and easy and will adorn my kitchen counter as soon as Halloween is over.

Fall Fun Class Samples

Here are the five cards that we will make two each of for the class on the 18th-$30 includes stamp set and all supplies!  and a surprise 3-d project!

Sharing

This is a thank you gift I made for someone that has helped me with Emily unfortunately I forgot to bring it with me when I saw her.  It is all retired papers, I love the flower brad, I just wish those dark chocolate kisses weren't purple foil.

Halloween craftin' this weekend!

I sure had fun this rainy weekend with my Spooky Paper-this is the smaller board Book Basic with a decor element-only available till October 31.Below is a threesome of fun-the new Stampin'Up! Sizzix dies are so stinkin' cute!  can you see the little dementionaled spider on the candy cup?  so fun-I love that every bit of the die has something to punch out-no waste more for your money!

Okay so how cute is this?  this picture doesn't do this banner justice-I will so be making this for every Holiday!  My DSP is in trouble-no paper is safe-this was so easy-so fun and not even very time consuming-I completely loved it-the letters were inspired by decor elements sadly the welcome doesn't come in black so I had to die cut letters but I then decided hey-black chunky glitter!  WOW-so cool-except the part were I rubbed a sparkle in my eye-humm safety glasses for glitter projects?  I think not-maybe I should just slow down and wash my hands occasionally?

Sweets for Halloween!

  Since someone heckled me for not posting for almost a month  want to make sure I share at least once a week.  This is what I've been playing with this week.  A little Halloween sweetness.  It's a card, a candy bar wrapper and a candy stick holder-orange candy.  All super easy and fun to make.

These are the cards we will make at the card class September 29.  Please RSVP by September 15.  Class is $30 and purchase of stamp set and all class supplies are included in price.

Birthday Bash Card Class
