Friday Fun Day


My sister is visiting and we did lunch and retail therapy. Afterward  I worked on making some post it note holders for an up coming  craft fair.
To make them I used:
Under the Mistletoe  DSP cut at 8 x 3 1/2 then scored at 2, 2 3/8, 5 1/2, 5 7/8
I then glued the sticky note pad inside.  I used Velcro  to keep it closed. When they finish with the note pad they can glue in another.
If you want to make your own you can find the DSP in the annual catalog and order using the order here button on the right.

KISS card

Good afternoon. KISS  stands for -keep it simple stamping-. You don’t need a ton of stuff to make beautiful cards.To make these cards all you need is card stock and a stamp pad. For these cards I used the stamp set Wishing You Well. This stamp set as you can see can be used for different seasons and occasions.  For the one on the left I used fall colors and on the right used Christmas colors. There are many other options for example Birthday or sympathy cards. For both I chose to fuzzy cut ( hand cut) the bow to give it more dimension. This is optional.
These next examples are a card using the wreath and 2 tags using the wreath and bow.
Materials:
Whisper White cardstock cut at 41/4 and folded at 51/2
Stamp pads- garden green, real red, soft suede, crushed curry, grapefruit grove
