Organization is on its way!

I have been working all afternoon on my office/craft room. This is what I've accomplished so far . . .More pictures will follow in a later post. I still have to go through one big box of things and organize the big IKEA shelves (the 16 cube shelf).

Stamped Presents

Tis the season . . . . . . to give gifts wrapped in Stampin' Up paper!


This is the stamped candle we made in our Christmas Gifts class last month.

Directions:
1. Stamp images on tissue paper (I used plain white).
2. Cut out images and lightly glue (I used SU glue stick) to candle.
3. Wrap candle & attached images with wax paper.
4. Using heat gun, work all the way around the candle until the images melt into the candle.
5. Peel off wax paper & you're finished!

Next month, we will be making a LOVE frame for Valentine's Day. If you would like to reserve a space in this class, please email me at kellybstampin@yahoo.com. (All of my classes are $15 and take place in my home in Fredericksburg.)

Bye - bye Letterpress & so many more. . .

Christmas treats : )

I love Christmas! My favorite part of the holiday is making & giving gifts. . . . really it is! : )
I made up 6 of these to give to the nursery/child care workers who take care of my 3 children during my MOPS meeting. I covered pretzel rods in chocolate and several types of sprinkles, then packaged them in cello bags with a ribbon, snowflake ornament, and a simple tag.

Sorry about the picture quality. I need to find my special photo tent for taking pictures -- it got lost in the move back in Sept!

Supplies: Real Red petal card, So Saffron designer series paper, Whisper White cardstock, Basic Black ink, spring bouquet & 1 1/4" circle punches, Hugs & Wishes stamp set.

Christmas card

In the next few days, I'll continue posting pictures of my Christmas cards from this year. Some of them may look familiar, as they were designed back in July for my Christmas in July open house.

Supplies: Wild Wasabi, Naturals White, & Whisper White cardstock; Certainly Celery & Rose Red designer series paper; vintage brads (silver diamond); Rose Red classic ink.

Free Make n' Take

At all of my December Open House events, we are making this gift card:I used textured Wild Wasabi & (regular) Whisper White cardstock, Real Red & Wild Wasabi ink; Real Red wide grosgrain ribbon, 1 1/4" circle punch, and stampin' dimensionals.

It's a super simple & quick card to put with a gift this Christmas season. Stay tuned for more card and project ideas. . .
