Valentine Projects from the Past..

Found pictures of these Valentine projects from my past classes..  thought it would be nice to share and get inspired for this year's Valentine projects.

 

Technique Tuesday: Faux Window

How cool is this Faux Window technique.  I always wonder how someone comes up with techniques like this.  Hope this inspires you.

Paint Chip Inspiration 2: Easter Banner

I started a new series on my blog called Paint Chip Inspiration, this is project #2.  I made this cute Easter Banner to hang as decoration in my craft room using paint chips and Stampin' Up! Oval Framelits.  I was surprised how east it was to match up Stampin' Up! card stock colors with the paint chip colors.

Craft Room Organization: Pool Party

In a previous post, I showed a new way I was organizing my clear blocks.  I love the idea of putting them all in a small desk organizer, but it always bothered me that it only came in black wire mesh.  So this weekend I decided to alter it.  I used Martha Stewart file folders I purchased at Staples and I covered the base to make it look nicer.  These folders already match my craft room.  It reminds me of Pool Party... which I love.

Then I couldn't stop at the organizer and I altered more stuff on my craft table.  My double-side tape dispenser, my little grab tray where I keep the things I need quickly on my desk (scissors, dimensionals, adhesive) and I also altered the jar I use as my garbage bin for small scraps.  I went a little crazy with the folders... but I love it.

I already had the in and out boxes from Martha Stewart so now everything matches beautifully.  If only I could keep the top of my desk this clean all the time.  Now that's a challenge!

Hope this inspires you!

Moonlight DSP Thank You Open Box

I love the Stampin' Up! Moonlight DSP pack.  I made these Thank You boxes for my customers.  These are great to hold little treats, Ghirardelli Chocolate Squares or maybe even 3 x 3 mini cards.

The paper in the DSP packs measure 6 1/2 x 4 1/2.  

I scored on the long side at 2 3/4, 3 3/4" and score on both short sides at 3/4"

Add sticky strip to the sides and then decorate.
