Lovely As A Tree Christmas Card

Hi Everyone,

I have started to think about making some Christmas cards this year, I always leave things to the last minute when Christmas is concerned and always tell myself that next year is going to be different and I will start early, it has only taken what seems the last 20 years to get my act together lol...anyway I wanted to use 'Lovely As A Tree' one of my favourites.  This card was easy to make here are the items I used to make it:

Paper: Early Espresso (14.8cm x 10.5cm folded) & Whisper White (14.3cm x 10cm)
Stamp Sets: Lovely As A Tree (127793/clear or 128655/wood), Many Merry Messages (126402/clear or 126400/wood).
Ink: Early Espresso
Other: Dazzling Details Silver Sparkle.

Gingham Calendar

Here is another project I did for the craft fair, the base is Island Indigo which is cut to 4" x 8" and scored at 2" and 4", fold the card in half and fold the 2" section inwards this makes the base of your easel card. The Whisper white cardstock is cut to 3 3/4" x 3 3/4" and the Gingham Garden DSP is cut to 3 5/8" x 3 5/8" adhere these to the section that folds inwards then add the calendar etc.  I used the following to create this calendar:

Paper: Island Indigo, Whisper White, Gingham Garden DSP, Daffodil Delight and Melon Mambo.
Punches: 1 3/4" scallop, 1 3/8" circle,  1 3/8" scallop, Elegant Butterfly and Bitty Butterfly.
Other: Calendar, Basic Rhinestones and Daffodil Delight 1/4" Stitched Grosgrain ribbon.

Craft Fair - Post It Notes with Pen

Hi everyone,

The last few weeks I have been concentrating on doing some projects for a craft fair that I attended last week.  The post it notes with the pen seemed to be a big hit so I thought I would share them with you. They are quite easy to make and here is what I used to make them:

Paper: Whisper White, Early Espresso & Gingham Garden DSP.
Ink: Early Espresso, Melon Mambo & Island Indigo.
Stamp set: Flower Shop .
Punches: Blossom & Pansy.
Other: Score Tool, Rhinestones Basic Jewels, Post it notes & Mini Pens.

I found the best and easiest to follow tutorial for how to actually make the cover is by Dawn. http://dawnsstampingthoughts.typepad.com/dawns_stampin_studio/2008/05/post-it-note-pe.html
