Our niece got married this weekend in Fort Wayne, Indiana.  This is the invite that her mom and I designed.  We used Basic Black & So Saffron. The text was printed on Shimmery White cardstock. All Stampin' Up! products of course!

We also added the flowers to the candy jars…you can find a link to the photos of the jars (as well as a bunch of photos of the venue) on the party planner's facebook page here: https://www.facebook.com/photo.php?fbid=10150371983955828&set=a.10150371980720828.429268.335969750827&type=1&theater

Another idea from my upline (Sandy Hancock).

I know, I know-I took another long break for the holidays and these next few weeks may be a little short on new posts as well as I'm getting ready to attend the SU! Leadership meetings in Nashville.  

It has now been officially 1 year since I started my blog and I want to thank you for all your wonderful comments throughout the year!  I'll try to be more consistent in posting this year…

The project above was made using the Level 1 Hostess paper pack (in-color DSP) and the Pocket Silhouettes stamp set  (Pear Pizazz and Concord Crush are featured here).  I made over 20 of these for my mother to give to her customers as Christmas presents using a couple of these paper packs.   These cards are a bit smaller than the standard as I used the Notecards (w/envelopes) that are on page 171 of the current catalog.  You get 20 pre-scored notecards/envelopes for only $5.95!  Each tote holds 6 cards.

Stars made using the 5 point 3D star die…closeup below:

Star in Front: Jolly Holiday DSP; Perfect Punches stamp set; Old Olive and Cherry Cobbler inkpads; Silver Tinsel; Cherry Cobbler Seam binding; Silver Glass Glitter

I made these tealights out of Soda cans.  Some with the pattern facing up (Diet Coke) and some with the plain silver aluminum showing. Packaging them with extra tealights to sell at a upcoming craft fair.

A fellow demonstrator recently showed me how to make coasters using 4" unsealed tiles.  Just stamp with craft pads, bake for about 20 minutes at 350 degrees and then seal with Krylon.

I CASED a card design from Gilda Fellows for this October Stamp-a-Stack card.  Simple, yet elegant and can be made with any of the Stampin' Up! colors-I chose one of our new In-Colors for this one.
