February Greek Isles Trip Achievers Blog Hop

Welcome to our monthly Blog Hop for the Greek Isles Incentive trip achievers! I am so excited to  play along as we showcase the occasions and sale-a-bration catalogs... I can't wait to see what the other participants will share with us...

If you are reading my blog in an email, please be sure to click over to my blog to see all of the samples and the hop list underneath...


This month I decided to make a fast little gift and used our gorgeous Botanical Butterfly DSP to decorate a plaque I had on hand!

I used the backside of one of the pages and only colored in the butterflies using Stampin' Blends markers. SOOO easy! Oh and the small butterflies were punched from another page of the DSP using the butterfly duet punch. Those were in color already...

You may just be starting the blog hop here at my blog - Claudia Perry or may have come from the person previous to me in the list. If you get off track at any time, the full lineup below will help you move along from blog to blog so you see all the projects. At the moment you are visiting Claudia Perry.

Merry Christmas - Wreath

Now that I have given this little gift to it's recipient, I am able to post it here too. Didn't want to spoil a surprise...

I knew that my friend really like that wreath (which was part of another card, shown and explained here)... so I decided to make her a little piece of home decor that she could display every year.. I added lots of pearls to this one to make it extra festive!

The natural wood frame was sponged with the frost white shimmer paint to give it an iridescent shimmer. Once dry I added the die-cut sentiment which was backed with the adhesive sheet prior to cutting... It sticks very well!

Daisy Delight - Pencil Toppers

Today I made some little gifts... which are simple but oh so cute! Adorable pencil toppers. I think those would make great "back to school" teacher gifts too... What do you think?

I took several photos, so you could see them better...

I stamped the daisy 3 times per color onto glossy white CS.

Then punched them out and curled each petal with the bone folder

I put one mini glue dot between the layers (not in center so you can pierce the push pin through easier)

The center filler was stamped in Early Espresso onto Whisper White CS and punched out with the 1/2 inch circle punch and added to push pin with mini glue dots.

Then a gold faceted gem was added to center

Petals were fluffed once more...

Pencils and push pins came from the Dollar store

Maybe this inspired you to make some of your own?
