Royal Apron

 I continue to think of fun ways to use the Apron Builder Framelits #145661 from Stampin Up.  I made a sweet apron box to stash a mini bottle of caramel apple Crown Royal.  It was the perfect gift for my whiskey loving friend.  The paper is from the now retired Tutti-Frutti collection but paper would work.

Anchor Card

Todays card is an alternate design for the Stampin Up April 2018 My Paper Pumkin Kit – You;re My Anchor.  I Punched a hole in the box lid from the kit and then added left over elements from the kit to create a card that fold flat to fit in an envelope.

Book wreath

 Todays project is the wreath I made using old book pages.  It looks difficult but once the prep work is done it moves quickly.

Hit the Books

 Good luck to the Ohio State University students including my son who starts his graduate classes today!  I made this fantastic book fold book to display on our mantle for our household Alma Mater.

Gift card purse

I made this cute little purse that holds a a note and a gift card inside the modified note card envelopes.  The paper is left over from the now retired Tutti-Frutti DSP.  The sentiment is from the Apron of Love #145835 stamp set from Stampin Up.  The purse closes using a small velcro dot.

BFF treats

 The Tiny Treat Acrylic Treat boxes  #141699 from Stampin Up make the cutest quick and easy gifts for any occasion.  I made this one for a friend in need of some lovin.  I simply wrapped a strip of paper (now retired Tutti – Frutti) around the box.  I filled the box with fruity Mike and Ikes and then wrapped a coordinating ribbon around the box and tied it with a bow.  I added the sentiment from the Apron of Love #145835 stamp set from Stampin Up and had a perfect treat.

Perfect Day for a Picnic

 The July My Paper Pumpkin kit called Picnic Paradise was adorable and the baskets were the perfect choice for me to make for a treat for my girlfriends at a recent luncheon we had.

I was lucky enough to get an extra kit from a customer who does not like the kits when they are not just cards so she keeps the ink and stamps and gives me the rest.  Yay.  So as a thanks to her I wanted to make something special so I saw this picnic table card from fellow demonstrator Rachel Tessman and knew it make the perfect thank you for giving me her extra kit. The foundation of the table was built as a bridge fold card and I added paper from the Stampin Up Wood Textures #144177 DSP collection to make the table look realistic.  The rest of the table was created using left overs from the Picnic Paradise My Paper Pumpkin kit.
