Phew, what a week it's been! I've changed out all the samples on what I'm calling "Inspiration Station" - where any of my customers can look at the samples I have out, pull out different samples, and look at both books and magazines to get MORE ideas.
Sometimes I get stuck for ideas, too. Besides different galleries and blogs online, I like to leaf through Paper Crafts® magazine and through all my old samples. I'd love to hear what you do when you get stuck!
Hello, world! I don't have a CLUE as to whether anyone's reading my blog or not, but here's another really cute idea! The only thing is, you're going to have to EMAIL ME for the directions! :)
It's made out of one piece of 12"x12" card stock - no cutting involved on the card stock! - and four squares of two different designer series papers. I'm thinking it will be a great idea for other holidays, too - we did a different basket for Christmas last year, but this would work beautifully, too. We'll just have to see, now, won't we. :)
IF anyone was going to come to my Easter stamp camp, we were going to make this basket. :) I haven't had a great turnout for a stamp camp in a while, so I'm going to start teasing you!
If you want the pattern, it's easy - and my thanks to a fellow Stampin' Up!® demonstrator, Paula Goff, for sharing the pattern.
So, this photo is what my designing and prep area looks like on a GOOD day - when it's a whirling dervish kind of day, it looks ten times worse!
When are YOU gonna come stamp with me???? :)
The lucky girls are going to learn how to make one of these candy bar holders, and receive one as a hostess gift! Aren't they pretty? This is using the Au Chocolat designer series double-sided paper from the Stampin' Up!® Spring Mini Catalog. It's BEAUTIFUL paper! The only other things I needed were the hostess's set, RIVETING, some light pink grosgrain ribbon, and a few punches. I used Versamark and vanilla EP for the chocolate chip middle on the punch, and chocolate chip ink for the rest on the Very Vanilla card stock.
