Throwback Thursday: Father's Day Matchbook Album

This Throwback project was from many years ago when I made this as a class project.  I still love the way the DSP paper coordinates and it is so masculine looking but yet still elegant.

Technique Tuesday: Chalk Watercolors

I love this technique and the colors are so pretty together.  Love the way everything blends.  This is a keeper.  I just got inspired to make a card using this technique...  to be continued!



Hope this inspires you!!

Pistachio Pudding Mini Gift Bag

As I was working on some birthday cards I realized I had some bigger pieces of Stampin' Up! In-Color Paper Pack.  So I played around and make this cute mini gift bag.

Dimensions:  Cut Pistachio Pudding DSP 10" x 3 3/4".  Scored on the long side at 1 1/2, 4 3/4, 6 1/4, 9 1/2.  Then turn and score at and 1" which will be the bottom of your gift bag.

Below are pictures of how I made the flower in the front of the gift bag.  I used the Stampin' Up! 7/8" scalloped circle punch.  I punched out 6 circles and crunched them up and then laid them on top of each other switching between the patterns.  Then I put a brad through the middle and curled up the different layers to make the flower.

Stamping with Scraps: Basic Gray

I LOVE the way this "stamping with scraps" card turned out.  The combination of the Basic Gray card stock and the Basic Gray DSP is so simple and elegant.

Triangle Thank Yous

Cute little Triangle Thank Yous filled with dove chocolates.  Cute and easy enough for a class treat for kids.  I gave these out a while ago to my girls who attended my class.
