Scrappin' Wrappin'

Use your beautiful Designer Paper for more than just scrapbooks and cards! One piece was enough to cover this cylinder and make a bow for the top. This DSP is from Christmas Jingle and the little tag is made from Level 2 Hostess set Christmas Punch, Scalloped Oval Punch and Magnetic Movers and Shapers. I followed these directions to make the bow. It's pretty easy and a great way to use up scraps. Makes a great presentation.
I'll be away for a few days at my upline's RAD weekend! Can't wait to get crafty with creative friends and be spoiled by Jan. She preordered all the new products coming up for us to play with! So, I should have lots to show you when I return. Have a great weekend!

Give Thanks

Happy Thanksgiving! I loved the card Dawn Olchefske did with the Autumn Meadows DSP and had to try it. I think she called it the Herringbone technique. It looks like inlaid wood almost - which I love. It's easy - no real measurements, although my strips are somewhere around 1/4". Lay down one strip diagonally and then make "v"'s with the others. So, this is my Thanksgiving card to share. Thank you to all that visit my blog, stamp with me, order with me and are my friends. I'm very grateful.

Hot Cocoa Gift Pack

This would be a great teacher, neighbor, friend, etc. gift. It's a Hot Cocoa Gift pack made with Soft Suede and Christmas Cocoa DSP, and of course, Dasher. We'll be making these at my Dec. Stamp Camp. It's also my Late Night Stampers challenge #45 submisson. Love handmade gifts! The pockets could also hold small gifts or whatever you'd like. Makes a nice presentation.

Coach's cards

Things have been so busy around here lately, I will be glad to hand in these cards. It means the end of practices and games for a while. Don't get me wrong, I enjoy the kids' sports, but a break from all the running around will be nice. So here's what I came up with for the soccer coaches. Our colors were green and black and the team name was the Crocodiles. The croc is embossed in black on Glorious Green. The letters are die cut from Billboard Alpha. And the soccer ball was made from cutting 6 black pentagons adhered to a white circle and trimming the hanging parts. I drew a line between the points with the thin side of my black marker. Inside will hold a gift card with the ultra fun Look Here pop-up die. Have a great weekend!

New Technique?

We may have come up with a new technique at my last Stamp Camp! We used the Kind Thoughts small stencil from the Decor Elements line. Since we used Not Quite Navy ink on the blue stencil, it was a little hard to tell which side had ink on it. Well, if you intentionally ink up one side (with sponge or dauber), then turn it over and traditionally stencil, you end up with a cool shadow like this: Isn't that cool looking? Thanks, Karen! This card is just one layer, sponged around the edges. Quick and easy! Think I'll call it Shadow Stenciling - what do you think? Let me know if you try it - I'd love to see what you come up with.

Build a Bear party invite

Here's a simple invitation I made for my daughter's birthday party. I used Stampin' Up!'s exclusive Build A Bear stamp set Beary Best Friends and colored it in with ink & a blender pen. Behind this cutie is some Pretty in Pink designer paper from a previous hostess selection. On the base is the balloon from the set and "you're invited" from Hugs & Wishes. Done! We're planning on some Build A Bear crafts for the party so I'll share them with you when we're done.
