Fluttering Butterfly

Hello there and welcome!  Today's card features the Watercolour Wings butterflies stamp set and the Bold Butterfly thinlets dies.  Just about everyone likes butterflies and these stamps are proving very popular.
What do you think of the textured background card?  That started off as plain white or vanilla card - and doesn't it look good!
Here's the tutorial -

Hope you enjoyed it.  Please let me know if you try this- and share your results on my Facebook page, I'd love to see them.  See you soon!

Hello bloggers!  

One of the fun things about being a Stampin' Up! Demonstrator is the training you get to help you make the most of the products you can get from SU.  The minute you join, you have access to training materials, videos and webinars to support you and share ideas, and you also get an advance look at the new catalogues and supplements before they are available to everyone else (good deal, eh?)

Anyway, the Autumn/Winter catalogue opens for business at the beginning of September, so that means that we Demonstrators got a sneaky peek of what's coming at a online-streamed Launch event,  which is where I saw the tiny card and envelope demonstrated.(and we also get the chance to place our orders so that we could play with the goodies  become familiar with the products).  

The finished card is 2" by 2" so you'd get quite a few of them out of a piece of A4 yardstick.  The DSP on the front of the card is from our Pretty Petals stack,  and so is the envelope.  You can make the envelope (using the Envelope Punch Board)  and the card from one sheet of 6" by 6" paper and still have some paper left over.  It would make a super gift card (Christmas is coming!) or a sweet little "Thinking of You" note for a loved one.

To make the envelope, you need a piece of paper 3 3/4" square.  Punch and score at the 1 7/8" mark on the Envelope Punch Board on all four sides.  Super-simple and a great way of using up small pieces of card and paper.

Anyway, that's it for now.  Please do come back another time, when I'll be sharing another project.  Oh, and if you'd like to know more about becoming a Demonstrator and having access to all the advantages and benefits of being part of the team, please get in touch - I'd be happy to help!

Gotta Lotta Bottle

Hello and welcome to my blog.
Today I'm sharing how I made this neat little gift bag.  The festive season will be upon us almost before we know it, and of course, birthdays happen all year round, so it's useful to have some gift bags or boxes handy.  This bag can be made up ahead of time and stored flat, which is convenient.

Here's the cutting/folding diagram - 

And here's the tutorial.

Oh, and in case you were curious, oil in the bottle is a combination of yang-ylang, lavender, and rose essential oils in a carrier oil.  It smells WONDERFUL!  

Thanks for visiting - hope to see you again soon!
