I made these Candle T-Light Favors for a ladies brunch, which I previously posted on November 1. Many of you sent me a note requesting measurements. Please see below.  I used Ikea T-lights candles.

White Wrapping:  5 1/2" x 4 3/4", score 1 3/4", 2 1/2", 4 3/16", 5") - 4 3/16"= 4 1/4" + 1 line.

Vellum Piece:  1 3/4" x 4 3/4"

Stampin' Up! Occasions Mini Sneak Peek: Dragonflies

Here is a sneak peek at the new Stampin' Up! Occasions Mini Catalog.  OnStage Secaucus was amazing...  even more amazing were all the freebies.  I was lucky enough to score the new Dragonfly Dreams photopolymer stamp set and the coordinating Detailed Dragonfly Thinlits Dies.

Stampin With Scraps: Christmas Flowers

I used This Christmas Specialty DSP to make my card swaps for On Stage.  I had some scraps of the music note paper, where the reverse side has this pretty flower pattern.  So I used the paper scraps to cut out the flower pieces and make this lovely card.

Santa's Sleigh Ornament

While I was cutting out my black rheindeers for my On Stage swaps.  I used the negative of the cut out to make this cute ornament.  The background paper is from This Christmas SPecialty DSP.

Spooky Happy Halloween Card

I got this adorable spooky Happy Halloween card from my talented demonstrator friend Deb Modrowsky. So cute.

On Stage Secaucus, NJ

What a great day at On Stage in Secaucus, NJ.  I went home inspired with new ideas and with such wonderful swaps.  You can expect more samples in the coming days.  Even a sneak peek at the Occasions Mini cover.

Mena Green and Lilly Ruiz

These were my swap for On Stage.  3D ornament swap... made this using a chipboard coaster from a restaurant.  Used Pretty Pines Thinlits and Time of Year for greeting.

Along with the 3D swaps, I also made some card swaps.  I made 100 swaps and they all went...  tons of idea.

Monthly Technique Swap

Every month I participate in a Demonstrator themed swap.  I love getting my monthly swaps. October's Monthly Swap theme was "Techniques". 

Pat Militello:  Direct to Paper Watercolor

Cyndy Ponczek:  Partial Die Cut

Lilly Ruiz:  Dryer Sheet Glitter

Carol Barbati:  Rolling Marble Background

Deb Modrowsky:  Dry Embossing with Stencils

Jennifer Sootkoos:  Aqua Painter on Clear Block

Vicki Wu:  Stamp on Vellum

Mena Green:  Watercolor Background with Clear Block

When I was making my technique swap I trimmed the card stock to a 4 x 4 card. I couldn't get rid of the paper scraps so I put this quick card together.
