Catching Up!

Hi everyone. Sorry I haven't posted in a couple of weeks. But, I have been really busy. So, this post is to catch you up on what's been going on lately. First of all, I have to apologize but I didn't get a chance to list all the supplies from these projects. I will try to list them next time. Keep in mind that all of these projects are made from using exclusive Stampin' Up! products so all the stamp images are copy right by Stampin' Up! Also, I apologize for the poor quality of the images. But, let's get into it. I know that it's past Easter but here's a quick glance at what I made for my son's teacher for Easter:




Okay, now let's talk about what I've been up to these past weeks. First of all, I held a paper crafting class a couple of weeks ago and it was a lot of fun. For those of you who missed out on it, here's what we made in class:

The first card is a cute Mother's Day card.

The second card is a pretty pink card with butterflies from the Strength and Hope Stamp Set.

The third project is a candy matchbox holder.

The next card is a pretty Easter card.


And we made another project making it five projects total for the class but I didn't take a picture of the fifth project but it's a gift card holder similar to the one I posted here.

Classes are really fun and a great way to learn new tricks and create fun projects together. If you like these projects and are interested in taking one of my classes in the future, shoot me a e-mail. I have two upcoming classes in May. The first one is on May 18, and it is a party favor class. Class fee is $35 and includes treats and all the supplies to make the party favors. We will be making party favors for different occasions. If you enjoy making party favors as much as I do, don't miss out on this class. RSVP for it now. You can e-mail me or RSVP on my facebook or my website. All you need to bring with you to class is your own adhesive to use.

In addition, May 31, I will be holding a scrapbooking class in honor of national scrapbooking month. Class fee is $24 and we will be creating a mini book or brag book together. I'm thinking about doing an album like this one here:



I just love how beautiful this little mini book turned out. I haven't finish embellishing it or placed any photos in yet but I'm in love with it already. It's about 3x3 in size. I'm thinking about creating this in my scrapbooking class. But, not sure. But, if you like scrapbooking, sign up for this class as well. All you need to bring to class is your own adhesive and photos to scrap with. I'm looking forward to scraping with you guys soon.

Also, I've been working on cards as hostess gifts for anyone who host a workshop for me or become a demonstrator under me. Here's a preview of what I created. It's a cute magazine card holder that holds 8 to 10 A2 size cards and envelopes. I made this set for my hostess who is hosting my next workshop on May 11. I'm going to give it to her as a gift for hosting the workshop for me. Here is a preview of the holder and the 8 cards I made to match the holder.










In addition to this, I have been busy creating new cards. I'm not sure if they will be going to etsy or not. Lately, I realized that I haven't been busy with etsy. In fact, I have not posted any new cards there since March. I know I need to but I've been really busy with Stampin' Up! Here are some of the cards I created:






In addition, I have been busy creating Father's Day cards and projects for the occasion coming up in June.
This is is a cute shirt template I learned from a youtube video by Dawn.
 Here is the inside of the card.

Here is another shirt party favor. I got this idea from reading a blog. I forgot who it was by. I will post it later if I can remember where I got it from. It's really cute.
 It holds chocolate nuggets inside using the small treat bags from Stampin' Up!

And here is another treat card using the sweet treat cup from Stampin' Up!

 Also, I have been crazy over gift card and money holders. These are a few of what I came up with. This first one is using the small vellum envelope that is retired but really cute.

This one is made from using one of Stampin' Up!'s standard very vanilla envelope.
 The inside holds a gift card on the right side and a cute card goes in the left side.

This is a cute masculine money holder card.
 You take the belly band off and the money goes inside. This is a great idea for Father's Day.

Well, I know that this was a lot for now but I just get so lazy at posting sometimes so I do it all at once. But, I will try harder to post more frequent and list the supplies that I use.d Again, I really apologize. Thanks for stopping by and I'll talk to you real soon. Take care.
