Fun projects

Jumbo paper clip with paper flower.

Miniture clothes pin with paper flower.

Hanging star, made from the 5 point die cut for the Big Shot.

These projects are some I made up for the Open house I am having in June. I thought it might be fun to do something for the home, and since Independence Day will only be about a month away, what a great project.

The mini clothes pin can be used as a book mark or magnet, all you'd have to do is attach a magnet on the back.

The jumbo paper clip is a great book mark.

Flowers, Flowers, Flowers

As the weather is slowly starting to change, I cannot help but think about the beautiful spring and summer colors. So, I decided that to help make it spring and summer faster around my home, I made a bunch of flowers from paper, ribbon, and an old pair of jeans. I am going to be offering the Hostess club an opportunity to learn to make these flowers. I think it will be lots of fun and it will help the hostess club ladies to create beautiful and one of a kind works.

Gift Box

This is the bread box I decided to do for Hostess club this month. I found the pattern off Snippets of Paper blog. She used hers at Christmas time, but this box would work for any type of gift. The view above is an angled view.

Top view.

Full front view of the box. I used Chocolate chip card stock as the base and the Sending Love Speciality Paper from Stampin' Up's Occasions Mini Catalog. I love this paper.

I just loved the box after I seen it and decided I had to create it. I could not believe how easy it was to make. So, anything easy to make and turns out this cute = a keeper!

The bread inside is Lion House's Pumpkin Bread, but any type of bread would work.

Vintage Valentine Blocks

This block has four different vintage valentines. I just decided to show this side.

The blocks here are made with vintage valentine paper I bought at Keepsake Cottage in Burley. I love going into that scrapbook store to see what's new. I made these blocks hoping they would sell but if they don't, that's fine with me because I would love to have them in my house.

November Stampin' Up card

This is the card my Stampin' Up hostess club will be making in November. Paper used: Holiday Lounge 12 x 12 pattern paper, Rich Razzleberry & crushed curry in color cardstock.
Rich Razzleberry & Crushed Curry classic ink pads.
Ornament Punch

I got the Idea from Splitcoaststampers.com.
I decided to use different colors and go with a nontraditional look. I love the color scheme.
