Fruit Basket

When I went to OnStage in November, one of the make-and-takes were these cute tags made with the bundle called Fruit Basket. Well the one the right should have only had the pear, but since the strawberry stamp and punch was also on the table, I simply couldn't resist and added it...

I do want tot point out that the tags started out with just a rectangular piece of Designer Series Paper and we clipped off the corners and made the hole using the "lemon/lime/watermelon punch". How nifty is that!?

But then I decided that I really have "no use" for just little tags and made them both into cards!

I love how those cards turned out and think the Fruit Basket bundle is just so stinkin' adorable that I will use it lots!

Cheers to the Year

Over the next few days I am going to share the Make-and-Take projects with you that I got to make on the incentive trip in Thailand. I waited until now because the Holiday catalog goes live tomorrow. Which brings to a point... If you have not gotten your copy from me yet, please let me know so I can get it to you. If you are a club member, you either got one in your last order bag or via mail if you are out of town. If you didn't get it by mail, please let me know ASAP so I can contact Stampin' Up!

But back to crafty things... The first project I am sharing is this BEAUTY:

The embellishments and Specialty Designer Series Paper are so gorgeous, it's UNREAL!

Here is a closer look:

It's a VERY easy card to make but oh SO stunning!

A tag on a card

Well the title for my post today is not very original, but I just called it what it is... I made the make and take project from the incentive trip today and it was a tag.... BUT I prefer cards... so I just put it on one...

Yes, I am using the Touches of Texture again.... because that's what we used on the trip and I really like that set... heheheee

Here it is:

Supplies used:

Touches of Texture

.... is quickly becoming another of my favorites. But I am sure you all saw this coming!

Today I am going to share a quick card with you that was a make and take on the incentive trip. But because I didn't have time to make it there... LOL, seriously was only able to pick up the supplies... I made it at home with what I had for greetings and embellishments.

Here it is:

Supplies used:

“Wonderful You” Page

I am back to show off the 8x8 scrapbook page. I also made this beauty during the make-and-take session at leadership!

I think I am going to add it to a 12x12 page, so I can put it in my book. I may add 1 or 2 layers behind this page to make it “grow” 

 

Using the flowers from the Blossom Builders Kit made this page come together rather quickly.

So all my scrap bookers out there… put this kit on your wish list, it is awesome! It even comes with PINK rhinestones! How cool is that!?

Be sure to come back tomorrow! Because if I know that YOU will come and check on me, I will have another project ready from our remaining 6!

Blossom Builders

Today I am sharing the 2nd project that I did make during make-and-take at leadership.

Here it is:

I think this card is just adorable, and so very easy. It has very little stamping and features the  Designer Printed Kit “Blossom Builders”.

This is a great kit with LOTS of flowers and banners, which can be found on page 18 of the Occasions Mini Catalog.

I especially like the scallop border on the left with the greeting banner tucked under!

I hope your Monday goes smooth…

Have a nice week and come back again tomorrow!

Leadership Make-and-Takes

Hi Guys – yesterday was a long day of traveling back home. Due to the bad weather in Atlanta my flight was delayed for over 2 hours. I did finally get home, enjoyed dinner with my awesome hubby and went to bed early. I had an awesome time at leadership, loved all I learnt and that I could catch up with some old friends and made new ones as well. Even on the flight home I discovered yet again, that there are no strangers in this Stampin’ Up family.

Today I am starting a series of blog posts about the Make-and-Take samples. See Stampin’ Up! treats us so good that they gave us materials for NINE projects knowing we would not be able to finish them all while there. We had a good time crafting and chatting and “only” made 3 of the 9. So I am challenging myself to make 1 project each day so I can share them all with you!

Here is the first one:

Stampin’ Up! always asks us to make one card for the Ronald McDonalds House charities so they can donate those cards. This was the card this year and we had materials to make 2 and got to keep the other. Nothing better than having fun stamping and doing a little good…

I really like this simple layout! What a fun way to use our new flower punch. Cutting the slits into the petals really makes the flower look completely different… The stamp set used is called “Mixed Bunch” and can be found on page 17 of the Occasions Mini Catalog!

Come back tomorrow to see the next project!
