Occasions Mini highlights-part 1
Posted by: | Comments
All this week, I’ll be sharing projects that I’ve prepared for a special Occasions Mini class next month. There are SO MANY amazing products in this mini catalogue, it just seemed fitting to use as many as I could for one class!
Because of the long weekend, I lost a day in my week, so I’ll be sharing 2 of the projects today:
You should know just how much I love this stamp set – Easter Blossoms- that’s why I showcased it first! I also used Springtime Vintage DSP which pairs so well with the set. I loved Lisa Young’s card layout here, and made it my own for this class.
This is a fun little box created with the Petal Cone die. Also from the mini, I used the Eat Chocolate stamp set. Thanks to Kim Sinclair, one of my new stamping friends, for the idea!
See you tomorrow with another project!
TTFN!

Leadership Gifts
Posted by: | CommentsWhat an amazing day at Leadership conference today! We were exposed to non-stop fun and excitement, which lasted about 14 hours! I’m happy to be sitting in my very quiet hotel room writing this very short post before I crash into my bed! Incidentally, our hotel room has a king sized bed in it, with one of those “sleep number” mattresses.
You know the ones, you can decide how soft or hard you want each side of the mattress to be…
Well, I picked a number out of a hat last night as I was laying there…it felt like a good choice at the time…
…this morning, my lower back was screaming at me!! I’ll choose a different number tonight and see how it goes…
…I’m just anxious to get back to my own bed with my memory foam top…
…moving on…
Here is a little something I made for Becky Roberts and Kim Sinclair, my leadership buddies this week (please excuse the bad hotel lighting for these photos):
I made them each a Trapezoid Purse and filled them with Coffee Crisp chocolate bars – they apparently don’t have these in the US.
Supplies used:
Stamps – Eat Chocolate
Paper and Ink – Whisper White, Riding Hood Red, Pawsitively Prints II DSP, Chocolate Chip
Accessories – Pear Pizzazz poly-stitched ribbon, 1 3/4″circle punch, Scallop Die #2 and Big Shot, 1/8″hole punch, dimensionals
TTFN!

Valentine’s Class Projects
Posted by: | Comments
I’ve prepared these fun AND easy projects for a special class I’m offering in February.
Here are some close-up photos of each project for you:
Two cute cards using the new set Valentine Defined, found in the new Occasions Mini Catalogue! Notice the fun border on the second card? That’s made with a new great embossing folder called Framed Tulips, also found in the Occasions Mini.
I had no idea this little purse was going to be as popular with you all, as it has been! All those who register for the class, receive my Trapezoid Purse PDF tutorial as well (available for order by clicking on the photo on the right)!
And last but not least, these two fun projects –
- a 3×3 card and matching stamped envelope
- and a matchbox with tag, to hold the all-important Valentine’s themed chocolate! This little box’s tag is made with another great set in the Occasions Mini catalogue called Eat Chocolate – check it out, it’s awesome!
If you happen to live in or near Calgary, here are some class details:
DATE: Thursday, February 3rd, 2011
TIME: 6:30-9:00 p.m.
COST: $20.00 for all supplies and project kits contents

Top Note Gift Bag
Posted by: | Comments
Precious little quilted Christmas bags! I love this quilted look!
Basically you cover a piece of white cardstock with square punched DSP and then run it through the Big Shot with the Top Note die. I went the extra mile and embossed the Top Notes with the Big Shot. In card you’re wondering, the “bag”portion of this project is a small white gift bag found at any big box store, the top trimmed to be the same height as the Top Note.
Supplies used:
Stamp set – Season of Joy
Ink and Paper – Whisper White, Garden Green, Candy Cane Christmas DSP, Real Red
Accessories – small oval punch, 1 1/4″ square punch, Big Shot, Top Note die, Victorian Wallpaper embossing folder, Real Red satin ribbon, silver brads
TTFN!
