Teacher ideas


So here are some ideas for School Teachers, Bus Drivers, Piano Teachers.


These are card holders.

Post it note holders

Candy Holders
These were cased from Splitcoast Stampers. I think taller candy jars would look better but this is what I had handy.

If you are either of the above listed for our kids, well, just act surprised.

If you want details , just let me know. These did not take long at all and each took about 1 12x12 sheet of paper total.

Advent Calendar



So here is my version of the advent calendar. I noticed one in Maxine's house and thought it was a cool idea. No lie, it took a few hours to put together.

Christmas Card Stack

I had a lot of fun this year with the Christmas cards. I really liked the kit Stampin'Up! had. The kit is called Christmas Jingle. I think the colors are really contemporary and classic at the same time.
So I did a card class this week. It was my first official one as a demonstrator. I really have to thank Maxine for letting me use her house. She did such a great job decorating , now I am in the Christmas mood!
We made 20 cards and 2 treat bags from half the Christmas Jingle kit. The treat bags were cut out by my Stampin'Up! Big Shot with the scallop bag template. They are the perfect size for a gift card.


For some reason I ordered 1 extra kit for the card class , so if anyone is interested in purchasing it , you can call me.

We will be working at Maxine Harder's house on November 25 @ 7pm. There are only 9 spots and pre-payment will save your spot. I need to know by November 8 if you are coming. So give me a call or email me for more information. I will also be taking orders that night if you need anything, this will be your last chance before Christmas.

Big Shot


Stampin' Up! has teamed up with Sizzix. And came out with the Big Shot. It is a die cutter and embosser. What is great is that all the dies and embossing folders coordinate with stamps in their catalogues.


Well...I just ordered one. I looked forward to learning all the uses for this little machine. I also look forward in demonstrating it and showing all of you how much fun it can be. I am quite excited about some of the other little projects you can make with it. Like pillow boxes and match stick boxes.

So if you are coming to the Redberry retreat I hope to have a little demonstration ready! I also will be demonstrating it in upcoming card classes and Workshops.

This was my first workshop card.

Paper : Certainly Celery, Pretty in Pink, Whisper white
Ink : Certainly Celery, Pretty in Pink
Stamps: Eastern Blooms, Teeny Tiny Wishes
Stampin' Dimensional's and the tearing technique.

This card is quite simple and quick and could be used with a number of other sayings. There are also many other embellishments that could be added, and yes Maxine, ribbon could surely be added somewhere!

Welcome...

I have been pondering making a blog of this sort for a while. I have been making cards for about 7 years and recently became a Stampin'Up! demonstrator. I decided this was a good time to share some of my ideas with you or pass along some great ideas I have come across.

I have closed this blog because if pictures of any of yours or my loved ones get put up on Scrapbook layouts, I want you to feel safe in knowing that not everyone and their dog can see all their information. So I just ask you to respect that privacy on this blog. But please feel free to comment or encourage entries on this blog.

So I welcome you and hope you feel encouraged and inspired !
