Everyday Cards 10 for $10

  I was trying to build up my stock of handmade cards for everyday uses - birthdays, hello, etc. so I made these cards from some bases and coordinating patterned papers. They would make a great gift for anyone. Who doesn't ever need to send cards, right? It's so much fun to color and these stamp sets are perfect for that!  Have you ever found a card that you really liked on the outside, but the sentiment on the inside just isn't what you had in mind? That's why I love this set -- I can customize the inside to say whatever the purpose of the card is when I am ready to use it. If you want to make a set for yourself, some, click on the email me link on the sidebar or give me a call! You can make 10 cards for $10.

 

$2 Tutorial - Sealed with a kiss!

How cute is this little Hershey Kiss holder? It holds 4 hershey kisses, but can be adapted to fit more or less. This cute little seal stamp has a scarf and santa hat! This would make a great stocking stuffer or treat to hand out. If you would like to make one, I can show you how! Remember that you can click on the photo to see a larger image.

Traditional Christmas Cards

I have to give a big THANK YOU to my friend Lindelon for letting me borrow her Stampin Up! and CTMH Stamps. Without her, I would not have been able to make these cards and offer this class to you! You can make 15 cards (3 each of 5 designs) with matching envelopes for $20. We can also add a sentiment to the inside, a place to put a family photo, and your family name for an additional $5. As always, you can schedule your class by appointment. All you need is 2 friends to join you! Sign up by clicking on the Email Me link of the sidebar. 

Non Traditional Christmas Colors

Yesterday, I had planned to work on my Christmas cards at my MIL's house. I was going to make really pretty, fancy cards...until I realized I forgot my tool can, my Cuttlebug embossing machine, and all of my special adhesives (the kind that I would need for the fancy embellishments)! So I had to make do with what I had -- paper, stamps, colored pencils, ribbon and double sided tape.  My niece Jessica inspired these non-tradtional colored cards. I think these turned out really nice in spite of the fact that I didn't have all the stuff I needed! They are simple, fun designs that would be very easy to mass produce! Sounds like a great Christmas Card class to me!! For just $15, you can make 10 cards (2 each of 5 designs) with matching envelopes. Just bring your paper trimmer with a scoring blade and your own adhesive. I have quite the collection of Christmas stamps now so if you would prefer different stamped images, I am sure I have several that you would love! We can also take your favorite scripture, Christmas saying, quote, etc. and put it on the inside. For an additional $5, I can personalize all of your cards with your family's name, and we can add a spot for a Christmas photo.

Just like all of my classes, this one is being offered by appointment only. What a great way to get together with a couple of your friends and check something off of your Christmas to-do list!

Have a great day!

No, I haven't forgotten about all of you in blogland...

Sorry for not posting everyday lately, but I have been so busy with Kalyn's schoolwork and I have been cleaning all day to get ready for my candle party tonight for Peter and Charity (almost) Dublin. I am so excited about candles now :) I am thinking about signing up to make my own  candles and adding that to my list of available items...the wheels are turning! I have about 6 decorative boxes that I have already made that would be perfect for holding all of the candles. Today's $2 tutorial would hold a 4 oz. candle perfectly :) The candles are only $6 at that size, and they burn for 20-40 hours, depending on how long you leave it lit at one time. Anyway, back to the tutorial...this is a pumpkin basket/box, and would also be cute with a little grass and some candy corns, or pumpkin candies. Let me know what you think!

Pumpkin Patch - Kid Friendly $2 Tutorial

My kids and my nephew had an awesome time today making their "Happy Halloween Pumpkin Patch" today. They always like to play with my punches, so I created this little Pumpkin Patch picture for them to do with my punches. We used glitter, stamps, decorative scissors and lots of glue and paper. If you want to bring your kids in to make one, just click on the EMAIL ME link on the sidebar to sign up for your kid friendly tutorial.

$2 Tutorial - Gift Jar

Okay, Friday's tutorial is a little late :) I have actually been scrapbooking my heart out for the past couple of days. I printed some photos on my home computer thinking that it would save me some $$, but I am completely disgusted with the quality of the prints, so I am going back to my method of uploading them to 1 hour at Target. That has kept me pretty busy! I have just started to edit my photos before uploading them so hopefully they will not need as much cropping. I am working on some scrapbooking pages to upload and show soon!

Anyway, on to today's tutorial (well, yesterday's but who's counting?) I cleaned the label off of this jar and decorated it up for fall. Too cute! Not over the top or anything, but it would be great for a jar soup mix, or some type of cookie mix for gift giving. I am trying to give a taste of all holidays here :) Let me know if you are interested in learning how to embellish your cans and jars by clicking on the Email Me link on the sidebar. Thanks!

$2 Tutorial - Small Gift Bag

Today's tutorial is for a small gift bag. The base measures about 2 x 3 1/2, so it would be perfect for holding a votive candle, small party favors, or a little candy treat. I also have several gifty type poems that would be great to include inside. Of course, you could change the color scheme and outside decor on the bag to fit your needs.

$2 Tutorial - Snowman Kisses

Happy October 1st Everyone! Today officially begins when you can begin taking the $2 Tutorials. I hope that you like the ideas that I am posting here everyday. Please feel free to leave a comment on your favorites!

Today's tutorial is for the Snowman Kisses Poem and treat bag pictured below. I have seen the traditional snowman poop poem over the years, and I prefer this one. You could also use white chocolate chips, Hershey kisses, or yogurt covered raisins as a substitute for the marshmallows.
