Apron box holds recipe cards made with the "From the Kitchen of" stamp set

I found this cute apron box that holds the stamped recipe cards made with the "From the Kitchen of" stamp set, but now I cannot find where I saw it from to give credit. I did make a few changed to the box I saw. I changed the card stock and designer paper used, changing also the colors used. I added the flower brads instead of the jumbo eyelets for the neck ribbon, and changed the ribbon across the middle. I also added the eyelet top to the pockets and stitching around the pockets. I also left off the stamped image in the bodice area and the bow in the back.

Here are the boxes both Denise and I made, and some of the recipe cards that go inside. I am going to tweak the measurements since the box is wider than needed for the recipe cards and have my class make the smaller version. I will scan the smaller version and measurements next week, so check back.

Happy Stampin!

Sew Suite Mannequins card using Love Letter Designer Series Paper

I finally decided to order this stamp set, just got it in today, and here are the cards Denise and I came up with for this months Mother's Day/Feminine cards Stamp Camp. Now I love this set but I promise not to make my whole camp based on this set, even thought it would be sew easy to do. (ha! ha! I made a pun) I really love what we came up for the inside. I even added the pin cushion to my inside and painted the pin heads with the Moonlight Smooch. I know my "Hand crafted" on my tag is not as good as the "Love" Denise used for a Mothers Day card, but I already made my Mom's card, so this will be used for something else. I really liked the "Hand crafted" with the sewing set. I am also excited that this card was a perfect time to pull out the Tiny Trinkets.

The inspiration for this card came from a card made by Diana Ball, a fellow demonstrator. We made the following changes. We made our card Red and also added an extra panel using red on our card.  We left off the flower, changed the sentiment on the tag. We also used a different patterned paper on the bottom front, Denise changed the top panel also. Denise also folded back one corner at the top of the card. You notice we even put our red panels on different sides and used different papers for our mannequin's.

Felt Roses Napkin Ring made using the Table Setting Bigz XL die



Here is a napkin ring I made using the Table Setting Die, Isn't it fabulous??? What an elegant table you could have with a set of these napkin rings. Felt is very iinexpensive, so you could made a set for everyone on your shopping list and save a lot of money to buy more stamps!!!!  These roses are so easy. Our die even has a round tab at the end to use as a base to glue your rose together. I can't wait to try these roses on paper, and other fabrics. I'm wondering what fleece would do since it does not have the body that felt has, I will try it and let you know. Enjoy these roses.

Felt Roses card made with the Table Setting Bigz XL die

Here is a card I made using the swirl on the Table Setting Bigz XL die made for the Sizzix Big Shot exclusively for Stampin' Up! Click on the "Shop now" button to order or contact me. The white specks in the picture are actually sparkles I added using the Smooch Spritz Vanilla Shimmer spray to the entire finished card I looks really cool on the rhinestones. This is a case of a card I saw on Stampin' Connection by  Donna Perger. I opted for a red card and a brown mat and added two large roses and a small rose, and did not use rose buds. The small rose was made using two of the smallest flower on the Blossom Party Original die. I simply snipped in between two of the petals and rolled. I glued this piece in the center of the other flower die cut at the same time. I also changed the roses to felt instead of paper. The small white flower was made with the smallest flower on the Boho Blossom punch. First I put the petal in the palm of my hand and using the end of my bone folder, I made small circles in the middle of the flower until it curled up. I then snipped between two of the petals to the center of the flower. I then glued one petal on top of the other which really makes the flower dimensional. I then added rhinestones in each flower and attached them to the card with mini glue dots. The Celery leaves are glued flat down. I took the larger Garden Green leaves and curved up the sides a bit also using my bone folder. You can also make beautiful roses with card stock and Designer paper. Have fun making these fabulous roses and check back tomorrow for a fun surprise!

Happy Stampin'

Birthday Candle card made using the Table Setting Bigz XL die

My hostess today had asked me to do a project using the Table Setting Die, so this is the project that I used for their make and take. I have to give credit to Connie Babbert for this wonderful card. I saw several candle cards but I decided to case Connie's. You can view her card here.  I did change the colors, the Designer Paper and left off the bow on my ribbon and added the sentiment on the front of the card. I also used glossy white paper on this card. I used the
Elegant Bouquet Textured Impressions folder on this card, but decided I like the Finial Press on a candle, so that is the folder they used today on their cards. I also used some scrap rubber in the center of my candle to make it stay rounded, then put sticky strip on the edges to hold them down. I sponged the flame first with Daffodil Delight then with Pumpkin Pie, the candle and oval for sentiment was sponged with Blushing Bride. I will be posting additional projects using the Table Setting die this week, so check back often. Happy Stampin'
