Teacher Appreciation Gifts

I made 50 of these cards for the teacher appreciation dinner at my daughter's school.  I don't really cook... at least not anything I would serve others... so this was my contribution.  :)

I used the Two Tags Die and the Lattice Emboss Folder .  They went together pretty easily!

Adorable Owl Dish

Halloween weekend is upon us, so I thought I'd share the perfect Halloween hostess gift.  :) 

here's a close up of the tag

and then when the candy is all gone... it's a perfect little bowl for your Thanksgiving table or tray. 

Thanks to my wonderful downline, Mary Jo, for this sweet gift!!!!

Charming Gift Set

Recently I shared these projects at Pat's workshop.  I wanted to showcase the Charming stamp set and the Simply Adorned line because we have a great special this month!  You can get the Charming stamp set, 24 " chain, and 1 x 1 1/4" charm for $40! 

This is the card we made.  It's hard to see in this picture but we added just a bit of Illuminate Smooch Ink to the flowers... stunning in person!

The Simply Adorned boxes are a very pretty Chocolate Chip, so just a bit of coordinating ribbon is all you need. 

I'll show you the charms soon!  I just realized that I don't have a picture of them yet.  Have a great weekend!  If you are local, please stop by my Retirement Sale.  9 am to 3 on Friday or 9 am to 1 pm on Saturday.  Call me at (913)441-6509 for directions.  :)

 

Halloween Bucket

Quick and easy Halloween project to share today... I used it at my open house for candy and I think Olivia will use it on Halloween night when she goes trick or treating.

I picked up the bucket for $1 at our new Dollar Tree store in Bonner Springs.  This is the perfect Halloween green!  Then I used the Jack-o-Lantern faces from the Decor Elements line and adhered them to the bucket.  Added a bow with Basic Black 1 1/4" striped grosgrain ribbon, and I was DONE! 

I have two more faces from the Decor Elements pack, so I am considering buying two more buckets and giving at least one to my God-daughter when I see her this weekend.

Fall Blessings & Thank You Cards Class

I get a lot of requests for afternoon stamping classes and have even offered lunch time stamping classes at my office building.  But I've wanted to do more for awhile, so I just decided to add a few to my schedule and see what happens.

My first one was earlier this month, and I had four ladies join me.  I have lots more room, so I hope more ladies can join me for my next classes.  :)  I have two additional dates scheduled:  November 11th and January 5th.  Both stamp times are from 2:00-4:00 PM.  We'll make 6 cards (2 each of 3 designs) with matching envelopes for $12. 

Bring a friend to class with you or place an order of $25 or more the day of class, then your class is 1/2 price! 

Here are the cards we made at the first class:

My favorite!  Created with Autumn Splendor and greeting from Grateful Greetings

But I love this one, too!  :)  Created with Paisley Prints and Inch by Inch hostess set

Quick and gorgeous!  Created with the Day of Gratitude stamp set.  Love the greeting!

Retirement Sale: Round 2

Thank you to everyone who came to my Holiday Open House and Retired Stamp Sale this past weekend. You came, you saw, you bought... all the vendors including me had a great day! :)

Despite selling about $600 in retired merchandise, I still have ALOT left over.  My hubby and I talked about it and decided that we would try one more weekend.  So if you couldn't make it out last weekend or payday is this Friday and you are ready to shop some more, please come visit us! 

We will be open for business on Friday, October 29th from 9:00 AM to 3:00 PM and Saturday, October 30th from 9:00 AM to 1:00 PM.  Please call (913)441-6509 if you need directions.

If you would like to see a list of what's for sale and prices, send me an email at shellyluvsstamps@earthlink.net and I'll send you the list.  It's much too long to post here, so I thought it would be best just to email the list to those who were interested.

I still have several stamp sets and accessories that are brand new and still in the package!  They would make great gifts for the papercrafters on your Christmas list.

Hope to see you this weekend!  :) 

p.s.  The hubby Steve is working the sale on Friday, and I'll be here on Saturday.  So many women have commented to him already that their husbands would NEVER work a stamp sale.  I told him it was a sale price to pay for going on free cruises and such... he agreed!  

It's never too late to start your own stamping business and start earning free trips.  If I can do it, you can do it!  And I'll do my best to help get you there.  Drop me a line if you'd like more information about becoming a demonstrator.

Christmas Gift Packaging

At a recent workshop, I showcased products from the Handmade Holiday Specials and how to use them to jazz up your Christmas gifts.  Just a little bit of embellishment can turn an ordinary gift into something WOW!  :)

Handmade Holiday Bundles

It's Day 2 of the Handmade Holiday Bundles Special, and it looks like the running favorite of my customers is the Tags Til Christmas bundle.  :)  Is that because I've been using it myself?  Hmmm...  I do have to admit that I love any stamp set that has so many coordinating punches.  It really makes stamping a quick project so EASY!

Here are the pictures of the bundles:
