Super Cute Baby Gift

This is a super cute little gift bag I made for the soon to be newest addition to our extended family! My sister is due in two weeks and I'm acutally planning ahead!! The nursery is decorated in pink and brown and has lots of polka-dots. So I decided to make a bag that would match!! I used pink CS and then used my fiskars embossing plate to give the background nice texture. Next I took a brown band of paper and stamped the dots with versamark and then heat and stick powder then I adhered the pink flocking. (that's the fun fuzzy stuff) I think next time I use flocking I'll just use a glue pen to make sure the stuff sticks were I want it!! So I glued that to the bag and decided to add the teddy bear I colored it in using a brown crayola and then blending the color around using my blender pen dipped in goo gone (LOVIN' that technique!). I decided to add the little tag It's a girl using my new SU punch. Lastly, since I didn't have any brown tissue paper. I just stamped the brown dots onto white tissue paper. I think it all ties together nicely. Obviously the picture does not do it justice!!

Post-It Note Holder

This is such a quick and easy project!! I just covered a chipboard coaster (you could even use the free coasters from restraunts) with some cute paper. Then I took a post-it note pad and clipped it to the top using a medium sized binder clip. Next I stamped the quote and glued it on. I even make matching RSVP pens (from Wally World) and give them away as quick gifts!

Contraban!!!

Okay so SU doesn't sell these nifty little disney stamps so I had to buy this contraban at Michaels (please forgive me SU!) Anyway, These are cute little CD tins that I've altered into tic-tac-toe sets for gifts. I covered the tin and jazzed it up. I then stamped the princess images onto white CS and punched them out then useing Crystal Effects secured them to the clear glass stones. After they were dried I added a little strip of magnet so they stay in place. I didn't show the game board but they are cut to size and laminated. (forgot to say all images were colored using SU watercolor pencils and blender pens.) Love 'em don't u??

Stamp Club

This was the first project of the night. The 2-5-7-10 boxes. These are sooo simple and yet so cute. Everyone kinda did their own theme. Diane even used the one piece cut off to make a gift tag to hang on the bag--I hadn't even thought of that!! That's what I love most about our club-I give directions and everyone adds their own unique twist and we each learn from each other! For instance the purple one created by Dawn she detoured from the directions and curved the flap for the bag--turned out adorable, Jay decided not to close hers with a ribbon and made a button enclosure instead! There were some boxes not posted (some weren't finished yet) Mom chose to do a Halloween themed and Norma went with a patriotic them.

Growing in Faith

I know I am a corny mom!! my DD had vacation bible school this week so as a thank u to all the teachers I made little sucker flowers. I should have taken a side pic so you could see the dum dum sucker in the pot. Very basic and simple to do. Totally cased this from another blog. I'll post the link (as soon as I find it again!) The card is a view finder card--turn the wheel and there are three different flowers and three different versions of thank you. The black bag is in the background. I punched three scallop flowers and wrote 'grow in faith' the same (reverse colors) are on the other side of the bag. The teachers really enjoyed them (the flowers not the dum dums!)
