It's Candle Time!!

Having some fun playing with some candle ideas I saw on several blogs recently.  I so LOVE all the ideas everyone shares so that we can ALL make really cool projects! I played with two versions and now just need to decide which one I should do for my upcoming Christmas gift idea class....decisions...decisions! 

My buddie, Kellie Gregg, showed me this box pattern provided by Tanya Boser on SU! Stampin' Connection (for demonstrators exclusively) and we talked about how it would look with some nice pretty blue snowflakes.  So for this one I made it with Night of Navy, Marina Mist and Whisper White, and used a piece of non-SU silver as a mat. I used the Serene Snowflakes set for stamping the candles and box.  Spritzed it all with some White Shimmer Paint mixed with alcohol to add a little glitz and a rhinestone to top off the snowflake punches. I just LOVE it!! Think it turned out pretty cool for my first try! 

I saw another version with a square box style on Jill Hilliard's website and wanted to see which box / sets I would like better.  But - they are both too stinkin' cute and oh so much fun to make that now I am confused on which one we will do for class.  Whatcha think?

Thanks for looking ... off to work on more goodies for my class next weekend!

Until next time ... Happy Stamping!

Stamped Dominoes

Christine brings her show-n-tell for class, which was some dominoes that were stamped and embossed.  These were really nice and some could be made into charms for necklaces or pins. 

Aren't they just gorgeous?  Christine is so talented and such a great customer and friend.  Thanks for always sharing new ideas with us. 

Thanks for stopping by.

Get Well to My Friend

My bestest buddie - Kristine has been ill with a sinus infection for a couple of weeks and I wanted to let her know I was thinking of her.  So I pulled together a little something using the Wellness Wishes stamp set. 

I used one of the cute little "doggie bone" clips that my sister gave me (non-SU!) to add a little extra touch.  Kristine thought it was too cute and was happy to receive a card and NO BILLS on this trip to the mailbox.  Get better soon Kristine! 

Happy Stamping!

Faux Silk Technique

We tried our hands at another cool technique to make this beautiful Fall card.  Faux silk is done by stamping on tissue paper.     

Miriam and Brandi working hard on their projects.  For beginners, they have really taken off and are doing a great job. 

Miriam is really enjoying learning about her creative side.  It is so rewarding to me when someone gets excited over the projects they create... especially when they thought they couldn't do it!!  But - - see she did do it!!

Thanks for stopping by to see what we have been working on.

Happy Stamping!
