Gardenia Pin

I am hosting a "Christmas in July" class this month, July 22 and 27, 2010, and we will make Christmas cards and one Gardenia pin. It promises to be fun. The Gardenia is made using the Big Shot circle die, polar fleece, sewing needle and thread. If you live in or near Burlington, NC and would like to attend, let me know.

Finial Press Thank You Card

Stampin' Up! continues to amaze me with their new products. I think their newest Speciality Designer Series Paper, Presto Patterns, in the Summer mini catalog is very unique. It is vintage patterned cover-weight paper which you can magically reveal using Smooch Spritz, an Aqua Painter, brayer and ink, sponge daubers, or a sponge. It can be whatever color you want it to be. It's wonderful.

Recipe for the Thank you card above: Stamp Set: Oval All; Paper: Presto Patterns Speciality designer series cover-weight paper, Soft Suede, So Saffron, and Whisper White Cardstock; Ink: Soft Suede Classic stamp pad; Accessories: Extra large 5-petal flower punch, Extra-large scallop oval punch, Large oval punch, Sizzix Finial Press embossing folder, Soft Suede 5/8" polka-dot ribbon (retiring 6/30/10); Earth Elements button, dimensionals.

Thank you for looking today.
