Tree Cards

I always put a little something in the bags when I deliver to my Stampin' Up customers so this time I made some tree cards that I absolutely love.

 I used one of the in colors, mossy meadow for the trees and the base cardstock and crumb cake for the outside and inside. The trees and stars are from the stamp set Festival of Trees  and punched them out with the new tree punch. These are from the seasonal catalog and you still have time to purchase your set if you haven't already.

 The embossing folder is Filigree Frame, also from the holiday catalog. I have been hoarding a couple of products and decided to use them. Some of the cards I used the Natural Trim Ribbon and the ribbon slides and the others I used the antique brads with the seam binding ribbon.

I also made a couple of these funky little cards just for fun.

Busy Little Beavers

This week end Michele came home with lots of ideas of what she wanted to get done.  She sells Thirty One Bags and accessories and wanted to make something for thank you for coming gifts.

So we got crackin' and made little packets of tags. Twelve packets to be exact.

Here is a sampling of what they will get just for showing up.

She wanted to make Christmas gifts as well so I had to clear a path in my sewing room so she could make these adorable little cup cozies.

Stampin' Up Event

The annual holiday event that my fellow Stampin' Up demonstrator and I put on was a big success.
Here are the pics from the projects we made.

Craft Fair

I've been gearing up for my last craft sale of the year and deciding what to make and bring.  I'm leaving my cards at home since there will be others there selling them.

 Floppy disk note book, gift cards mini note books, Monopoly game piece note books.

 More tags and I still can't figure out my camera randomly turn things sideways.

 Frozen hair clips and snowflakes.

Money Grows on Trees

This Halloween I decided not to give out candy.  Since we live on the edge of town and don't get many trick or treaters,  I decided I really don't want any extra candy laying around so this year I'm giving out cash.
I cut orange paper 3 x 3, then got out my envelope punch board and punched and scored at 1 1/2 inches. I then placed three quarters inside, folded it and used pearl cotton to tie it.  I had leftover stickers from Paper Pumpkin so I used those to decorate them.

I went out and cut some branches off one of my shrubs, put them in a fruit jar and proceeded to hang the little packets of money on the tree.  I didn't anticipate the money being so heavy so it really didn't work out as well as planned, as the braches aren't really strong enough but I did manage to get a few of them hung.
