Cookie Cutters

I’m loving Stampin’ Up!’s  Cookie Cutter Bundle. And here’s a fun fact: The Cookie Cutter Bundle is the best selling bundle in the Holiday Catalogue.

I wanted to share the club projects we did in September:

The gingerbread men are my favorite. The centre splotch is from the Gorgeous Grunge stamp set (stamped twice) and the greeting is from the Stitched with Cheer stamp set.cookie-cutter-4The bundle includes the punch. Turn it upside down and it punches the reindeer shape out!
cookie-cutter-3And the Cookie Cutter Bundle is not just for Christmas. Check out this adorable baby bear card.
cookie-cutter-5Then we used the coordinating Halloween set to make this cute banner.
cookie-cutter-6The gingerbread men were also the star of our World Card Making Day! Each participant received these decorated chocolates…cookie-cutter-2and their pinecone packages…
cookie-cutter-1All supplies for these projects can be purchased through my online store HERE.
Did you know?? There is a Designer Series Paper Sale in October…buy 3 get 1 free. You can stock up on this Candy Cane Lane paper. I know I am!

Happy Thanksgiving Everyone!

Open House Highlights

It’s been awhile, so today I thought I’d share some Open House highlights. I had a wonderful afternoon of seeing many familiar faces and many new ones. Thank you so much to everyone who took the time to stop by. I thoroughly enjoyed visiting with you! Everyone who stopped by received one of these sweet hand sanitizers. (Shout out to Erica Cerwin for the holders!) Bath and Body Works has the pineapple and flamingo sanitizers that coordinate with our new Pop of Paradise stamp set. Love.Hand SanitizersWe love pineapple in this house, so I think this one is my favorite…Hand Sanitizers 1I drew a name each hour for door prizes (featuring some of our new products) that were tucked inside these beautiful packages. They were made using our Petite Cafe Gift Bag, Pop of Pink Specialty DSP,  and gold sequin trim that hung through a gold bow paper clip embellishment. The “Enjoy the Little Things” stamp is one of my favorites in the new catalogue and it comes from the set called Layering Love.Door-PrizesEveryone had the opportunity to make 2 cards that afternoon. I wanted to highlight the new In Colors and everyone loved them. (Thank you to my talented friends Becky Roberts and Julie Davison.) The new 2016-2018 In Colors are: Flirty Flamingo, Emerald Envy, Peekaboo Peach, Sweet Sugarplum and Dapper Denim. Do you have a favorite? I really love them all, but if I had to pick a favorite I think it would be flirty flamingo:)

This one featured the Swirly Bird stamp set…Swirly-BirdThe second one featured the Love and Affection stamp set…Love-&-Affection

June is always a busy month for everybody, and our household is no exception. We’ve had the Open House, our daughter graduated from U of A, we are planning a wedding (including her bridal shower in 2 weeks), and we are tackling the to-do list for household painting/repairs and yard work we’d like completed before the wedding. It’s an exciting time!

I hope you will find the time to enjoy a few stolen moments of peace this week…whatever that looks like for you.

Breathe deeply,

Wouldn’t it be nice to just whip these up whenever you need one? … With coordinating papers you used on the card?  This says “handmade from the heart”. Who wouldn’t want to be the recipient of one of these thoughtful gifts!
