I am making valentines for my kids' classrooms. This is the quick idea I came up with. If you have multiple children to prep for, this is great!
I used our long skinny cello bags, the P.S. I Love you Stamp set from the Occasions Mini Catalog, the scalloped Heart of Hearts embosslit (item # 117332), the Full Heart Punch (Item # 119883), and the Modern Label Punch (Item # 119849). I tied the tags onto the bag of candy using the white organza ribbon (Item # 114319).
I had my Occasions Mini Catalog and Sale-a-Bration open house recently. It was so much fun to see some friends I hadn't seen in quite awhile! A big thank you to all who came!
I wanted to do something using both the Occasions Cookie stamp and the Tea Shoppe set for one of the make and takes.
I came up with this cookie and tea pouch.
The cookies are sealed in clear envelopes, and were made with the Occasions Cookie Press Stamp. The pouch for the tea is one of our mini square envelopes.(the teabag slips in behind the white square on the front of the project. The three teacups used on the tea pouch are all contained on a single stamp. The 1 1/4 inch square punch is the perfect size to punch each teacup out to be used individually!
Join me for this fun class!

I came home with many new ideas after attending Leadership. So many talented stampers!!
This is the swap that I made. This card uses the Everyday Enchantment Sale-a-Bration paper (free with a $50 order!)
I used the heart framelits to cut the two hearts and the Baby Prints Set from the Occasions Mini Catalog.
My Friend Connie gave me this notebook to use while at Leadership. Very fun!! THANKS, CONNIE!
I have been playing with my new products from the Occasions Mini Catalog. I just LOVE the new edgelits and framelits dies and embossing folders!
Here are a couple of my samples:
This one is even more fun when you add tiny pearls to the top of each of the embossed scallops!
So, I have been asked to be on WCIA's CI Living (Central Illinois Living) Program this afternoon!

(I used our Designer buttons from the Holiday Mini Catalog to cover the objects on the cards as we played.) I made this set to use with my daughter's 2nd grade class last year at the Christmas Party - the kids had a BLAST! I made little a little card with each image stamped onto it and put them in a bag. We drew the card out so the kids knew which item to cover.

Do you LOVE the fall wreath on page 6 in the Holiday Mini Catalog?
I am teaching a class on how to make this wreath tonight. For the class, each attendee had to pre-purchase the simply scored tool. There was a supply charge for the class as well.
If you would like to learn to make this wreath,
simply purchase the Simply Scored Tool from me, and I will send you a free tutorial!!
I have been stamping all week. I finally have more things to share!
Here is a fall scrapbook page I did for my club this month. Be sure to check out the tutorial on how to make the colored jumbo brads!
Here is the full 2-page spread (I didn't want you to think I didn't know how to spell Autumn! Notice the "n" is on the second page :0)
Close up of page one
Close up of page two.
This "A" was made using the Serif Essentials Alphabet die on the Big Shot. I cut out a piece of chipboard and a piece of designer series paper. NOTE: Be sure to put the side of the DSP that you want to show FACE DOWN when cutting. I LOVE using this alphabet die set!! I can cut my chipboard with the DSP so it is an exact fit - no sanding or hand cutting - yahoo!
The ribbon I used around the "leg" of the "A" is the new Early Espresso Quilted Ribbon found in the Holiday Mini catalog.
This image of the sunflower was made using the large Sunflower background stamp. I inked it in More Mustard Ink, and then used the Early Espresso Stampin' Write Marker to ink the center.
But wait! Is that an Early Espresso Jumbo Brad?? I didn't think we carried it in Early Espresso! We don't - so check out the tutorial for making the jumbo brads any color you would like!
COLORED BRAD TUTORIAL
Start with a craft pad - I used the Early Espresso to match the center of my sunflower. Notice the color is hand-written on the end of the pad. We don't carry pre-inked craft pads in the large size. You can get the spots pre-inked, or you can purchase the uninked craft pads and get the reinker colors of your choice. (No, you cannot wash the color out and use the same pad for various colors - you need to get a separate pad for each color. This may sound like a silly question to some, but I get asked that question a lot, so I thought I would answer it before it was asked this time around!)
The jumbo brads (I used the 5/8 inch size) come in four colors (vanilla, white, chocolate chip and silver). You can use ANY of the colors to do this technique.
Hold the brad with a pair of tweezers so you don't burn your fingers. Dip the brad into the craft ink.
Check to be sure the front of the brad is thoroughly covered with ink.
Dip the brad into the crystal clear embossing powder.
Be sure all of the ink is heavily coated with the clear embossing powder - if you question it, dip it into the powder again.
Heat the brad with a heat tool (also known as an embossing gun - although many have an aversion to the word "gun", so I guess "heat tool" is the PC way to say it!). Be sure all of the powder has completely melted. Hold the brad with the tweezers for a minute or so until it has a chance to cool a bit. If you put it down before this, the melted powder on the sides of the brad will stick to the surface that you put it on. (ask me how I know this! :0)
Simple as that, you have the option of any of our colors in jumbo brads!! This can actually be done on ANY SIZE brad!
Go create your own colored brads in many assortments - image a two-toned brad!! Do you like shimmer brads?? Try using the irridescent ice embossing powder instead of the clear - lovely color AND glitter!!
