Valentine's Day Gifts

I made these gifts for my co-workers for Valentine's Day!

Christmas Gifts

I made these gifts for my co-workers at Christmas 2013

The noses light up with a switch on the back.

Here are some more Late Night Stampers projects from July 2014's Stampin' Up! convention!

There were so many more fun and creative projects that it is impossible to share them all, but I hope you enjoyed these few.  Happy Stamping!

I know it's been a long time since my last post, but here's another project (finally)!

This is an adorable project I learned during the Late Night Stampers events during the Stampin' Up! convention (July 2013) last year. When I find my notes, I'll add the name of the person who taught this!

My Thanksgiving Turkey

Here is a long overdue post of a project I created.

This is made with a Crystal Light container so you can take off the lid and add candy or a surprise inside. 

 

The green ribbon shown here is the handle to carry the turkey.

The little sign says

 "Eat Ham"  

I will soon be adding the supply list and instructions to make the project.

I hope you like it!

 

Today I wanted to share something I made for my sister.
This is a late Christmas present that I sent her last week (I'm not usually late like that) and she was so excited when she opened the box!  It made all the work worth it.  I'm not great at sewing, but I made it through all the frustration of having to unpick stitches a few times and having to figure out just what the instructions were actually telling me to do, and came up with this.  Boy am I glad it's all done!

Purse, Checkbook cover, and make-up pouch.

 Here's the inside and outside of the little make-up pouch.

Here's the inside and outside of the checkbook cover and I put a Stampin' Up! pen inside.
I used one of the Antique brads from Stampin' Up! for the outside of the magnetic snap.
I also did some machine embroidery in two places.

 My sister absolutely loved these fabrics!

 Here's the inside and outside of the purse.

This picture gives you an idea of the size of the purse.
I added a flower pin that I cut out using the Big Shot and some flower dies along with a button.


I hope everyone has a very happy Mother's Day.

Happy Mother's Day ladies!

Some Valentine projects!

I wanted to share some of the Valentine projects I did this last couple of weeks.  I hope each of you had a wonderful holiday.
This is the card I gave my husband, as well as the one I used for a recent swap with my up-line, Dawn.

 

The next two projects were posted on UStamp with Dawn and Friends Year End Blow Out 2011.  I am going to try to put the tutorial on another page using the button "Tutorials."

Late Halloween Pics!

Ok, I know I'm late with these, but I just had to show you the Halloween projects I created and displayed at my recent open house.

This haunted house is from the Stampin' Up! Holiday Mini catalog "Design-a-House" item #120911 (it comes in white) and I covered it with sticky black glitter/felt that I found at a craft store.  I really liked how it turned out.  Notice the ribbons I used for the smoke and fire coming out of the chimney. The ribbons are the Raven Lace Trim item#120988 from the Holiday Mini Catalog, the others are the Peach Parfait #119264, and Poppy Parade #119263 from the current Idea Book and Catalog (1/2" Stitched-Poly Ribbon).  The bats were punched out using the Bitty Bat punch#119279.

 These were lots of fun too!

 This basket holds the small treat size M & M's.  I used Pumpkin Pie cardstock #119939 and sponged the edges using the Pumpkin Pie Classic stamp pad #105216 and the sponge #101610.

 I used the "Wicked Cool" (#120600 Clear and #118738 Wood mounted) stamp set for this project. I also used the Bitty Bat stamp set noted above and the "Wicked Fun" #117400 Designer Series Paper in the current Idea Book and Catalog.

This box will hold the small size hand sanitizers

 These were made using the Candy Wrapper Bigz L Die #120890 from the Holiday Mini Catalog and the same stamp set from the project above in the current Idea Book and Catalog.  The ribbons are the Whisper White Organza #114319 and the 1/8" Taffeta in Basic Black #119261.  The orange brads on the bottom project are item #109110 Circle Fire pumpkin brads.

The paper on the project below and above is from the Wicked Fun Specialty DSP #117400 in the current Idea Book and Catalog.

 These are Reese's peanut butter cups (treat size) inside.  The box will hold nine of them.

 I made these bats using the Petal card xlg double punch #119273 in the current Idea Book and Catalog.

 These are great for a little treat inside!

 I bought a clear canister from a local craft store and used the Decor Elements "Spooky things" item #120909 in the Holiday Mini Catalog.

 These Bingo cards come from the Nite Owl Designer Paper in the Holiday Mini Catalog item #123012 and the spiders come from the Dark and Dreary stamp set in the same catalog.  Item #121151 for clear stamps and #120837 for wood mounted.
