In the beginning of June, I had a workshop at one of my customer's homes. She wanted to have a workshop as soon as the new catalog came out so she had the opportunity to purchase some of the new items. I usually do 2 cards and something some small but three dimensional. These small, cute candy holder fit the bill. This is such a quick and easy way to spice up a candy bar . What a fancy way to give someone a treat! This is a great way to hand out treat for a classroom or an office occasion.
The supplies that I used for this project were:
STAMP SET: Betsy's Blossoms
PAPER: Gumball Green, Raspbery Ripple, Whisper White
INK: Gumball Green, Raspberry Ripple, Midnight Muse, Primrose Petals
ACCESSORIES: Dimensionals, Two Tag Die, Big Shot, 3/8" Stitched Satin Ribbon
Everyone loved this project! They even came up with more ways to use this simple project such as a napkin ring, dinner utensil holder, and name card at family or special events. That is what is so great with stamping with friends. I love the exchange of ideas with each other. I think that exchange of ideas makes stamping a bonding experience with friends as well as a fun crafting time.
Before I go, I need to post another picture of my new little grandson. Here he is with his older brother. What cuties! But today I am already gearing up for the next grandchild that should be arriving in September. Enjoy your day!
This month I have had a lot going on with Hostess Appreciation Party, Technique Classes, Home Workshop, and Open House. I tried to shove so much in just a few days because I wanted to make sure that I would not be busy when the baby comes.
This was the card we made at my Hostess Appreciation Dinner. Every year I have a dinner for the ladies that have hosted a workshop throughout the year. I make or provide a meal and dessert for them. Then we play with the new products, play a few games, hand out some prizes and receive the NEW catalog. Well this year I had been so sick for 2 weeks that we decided not to play games but I still handed out a few prizes (like the prize patrol!). Everyone felt they really wanted to check out the new catalog this year which helped take a load off my shoulders that night trying to get through everything. And all my ladies could not wait until we did the Make and Takes. I decided to make this card. I CASED it from Vicki Burdick. I changed some things around and made the flower a softer color. The supplies that I used for this card were:
STAMP SETS: Betsy's Blossoms, Itty Bitty Banners
PAPER: Baja Breeze, Whisper White, Primrose Petals, Floral District DSP
INK: Primrose Petals, Raspberry Ripple, Baja Breeze
ACCESSORIES: Itty Bitty Punch Pack, Pearl Jewels, Dimensionals, Baja Breeze Seam Binding
Everyone loved this card! I loved it because of the softness of the colors of the card. Wait until you see the other project we made. It was a very successful evening. I have the most wonderful customers! Go out and enjoy your day!
