Botanical Butterfly and Dear Doily

Today I made some little gifts for my Monday night stamp club ladies as we are starting over with a new round of club. This is my little Thank you to them for being a club member....

It's a clear 4 by 6 photo frame (that stands up)

 I made a variety of colors

And in case you were wondering where the butterflies came from.... look:

The punch works pretty well with the Designer Series Paper that you can earn for free during Sale-a-Bration...

And this is what it looks like with a photo in it

Thank You from Alaska

So I always bring back some little gifts from the incentive trip for my stamp club members because I want to show my appreciation for their loyalty to me...

This time I found some sparkly water bottle holders ....  I also added a drink packet for those that are tired of plain water...

While I used retired DSP (because it matches perfect in color....), you can make the pouch of course with any of our papers. This is just another idea for you to put that paper to use!

Oh and this is what the bottle holder looks like:

Work in progress... using the different patterns of the same color:

May Flowers Framelits

The card that I am sharing today came about while I was prepping for stamp club... I knew I wanted to make this envelope card, but didn't want to use "good" DSP in case I messed it up... so I used retired Sale-a-Bration DSP from either last year or the year before... yes ... I tend to hold on to these papers LOL. Since it worked out... I continued to make the card.. here it is:

And when you open it up, it looks like this:

Very easy to make and fun! Here is the teaser... if you would like to learn fun folds and techniques, you want to be part of my stamp clubs. You can even be a member if you either live out of town/state or just can't come to each meeting... because I broadcast the meetings in our Facebook group and then also upload that video so if you can't be online you can watch it later... convenient, I know !

Let me know if you would like to join a club, you'd only commit to order $20-$25 each month for the length of club (if there are 10 ladies, it would be 10 month and so on...)

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?
