A Week of Christmas Packages
Posted by: | CommentsThis week will be all about gift packages – all made with the BIG SHOT! Each day I’ll show a project that will be part of a class I’m holding in December for my customers here in Calgary.
The first project is made with the Candy Wrapper Die and Big Shot. Does it look longer than normal to you? It should. It’s been extended to fit more yummy things in it! Bigger package means more chocolate - yippee!!
Supplies used:
Stamps – Christmas Lodge
Ink & Paper – Whisper White, Early Espresso, Cherry Cobbler, Frostwood Lodge DSP
Accessories – Scallop Trim edge punch, Big Shot & Candy Wrapper Die, organza ribbon

Fun Prizes
Posted by: | Comments
This year, I’m doing something a little different with my stamp clubs.
Every month, I offer them, Natasha’s Special Challenge. If they undertake this challenge, they get their name entered into a draw for a prize. For October, these are the prizes:
A mini set of Antique Brads!
How cute are these? If I won this prize, I’m not sure I would use the brads – it’s that cute!
Packaged in our new 1″x 8″cello bags and tied with a simple tag, these brads get the royal treatment. And so will my stamp club ladies IF they participated in this month’s challenge which was to create a card inspired by a piece of clothing. At their stamp club meetings, they were told they could be inspired by a color combination, a pattern, an embellishment, or anything to do with a piece of clothing.
I can’t wait to see what they have come up with! I also can’t wait to give out some prizes!!
Supplies used:
Stamps – Perfect Punches
Ink & Paper – Sahara Sand, Riding Hood Red, Whisper White
Accessories – Designer Label punch, Scallop Oval Punch, Modern Label punch, Riding Hood Red taffeta ribbon, 1″x 8″cello bags, 1/8″ hole punch, bakers twine

Yummy Party Favors
Posted by: | Comments
My sister held a bridal shower for Chalisse on Friday and she did a great job!! She took care of all the invitations, food, games, and set up. All I was asked to do as mother of the bride, was to provide some party favors for the guests to take home as a “thanks for attending” momento.
I wanted to incorporate a bit of Chalisse into these party favors. Her favorite thing in the world is cookie dough so I came up with a cute way to wrap up some for everybody. It was a hit!!
I had to use some non-SU paper as I needed 35 sheets in her wedding colors. I did use Blushing Bride and Crumb Cake cardstock, Boho Blossoms and 5-Petal Flower punches to make the flower embellishment. Chocolate Chip satin ribbon finished off the ends.
Have a great day! TTFN!

New Beach Tote Ensemble Tutorial available today!
Posted by: | Comments
While previewing the new Summer Mini Catalogue last month, I was inspired by the new Designer Series Paper pack, Beyond the Garden, to create some beach themed items. Beach bags immediately came to mind!
I always seem to be collecting a new beach bag every year (mostly cause I can’t find the previous year’s one!) and I love the fun bright colors they all have and of course, their capacity to hold lots of items for a day outdoors. So, to stay true to the purpose of a real beach tote bag, I created these three replicas keeping space in mind.
All three totes are large and strong enough to be used as gift bags for that special summer or Hawaiian themed party:
*** Flower Rimmed Wild Wasabi tote measures 8 1/2″ wide at the top, 7″tall excluding handle (11″with handle) and is 2″ deep
*** Daffodil Delight Nautical Striped tote measures 6 1/2″ x 6 1/2″ and is 2″ deep
*** Round Clutch Handle tote measures 7 1/2″ long, is 6″high and 1 1/2″ deep
Beach Tote Ensemble Tutorial includes:
15 pages of written instructions and measurements to complete all three projects
40 step by step photos to assist you in recreating the projects
$3.99 CAD
The tutorial will be emailed to you as a PDF file following your purchase through PayPal.
TTFN!
