FRIDAY

Speaking of Shrinky Dinks, I have to show you this awesome necklace made by my talented friend and fellow demonstrator, Debbie Paisie.  She does the most wonderful things!

This picture does not do this justice for sure! I wanted to show this cute idea, though. Wouldn't this make the cutest gift?!  She made this darling Christmas necklace and matching earrings out of Shrinky Dinks using the Christmas Sweater Stamp Set.  I hope you can click on this and make it bigger so you can see it better.  I might have to try this myself.  Thanks, Deb, for your great crafty creation.

WEDNESDAY

Here are the wine glass markers we made on our girls' beach trip.

There were 7 different designs, but I haven't loaded al the pics on my computer yet.  Most of us used the By the Seashore retired stamp set.  Two girls used the little dogs in the Bella and Friends set.  I had never made shrinky dinks before and it was really fun!  I think I will be making some Christmas ones for the family to use on Christmas Eve.  

The hoop part is an earring base found at Hobby Lobby.

MONDAY

Just back from beach week so doing a quick post till I get settled back in.  I realized that for the mini pizza box post I did on Wed, I showed you the inside with the note cards but didn't show you the decorated outside.  So here is what the two different boxes look like.

I used the Daisy Punch and the Double Banner Punch, new Leaf Punch, Delightful Daisy DSP, White Perfect Accents, and a Gold Faceted Gem.  I am LOVING these boxes.  They are very sturdy, easy to put together and decorate, and have a glazed inside so you can put something like a cookie inside and it will not leak through the box. And even better - you get 8 for $6.00.  Product number is 144645 in case you want to add them to your on-line order.

Come back tomorrow to see a quick, easy little craft we made at the beach, which you could also use for Christmas gifts.

FRIDAY

Today's boxes have a Christmas theme.

The box at the top I won at our meeting.  The deer box uses a window sheet and framelits to cut the hole - also the new LOVELY Champagne Foil Paper.  On the box on the right, I used Embossing Paste and colored it with red ink.  Then I just added some embellishment and the cute little mini bow from the Holiday catalog.  They are a good deal and so cute - come in red, green and white.  You have to have these!  

WEDNESDAY

Here are three more mini pizza box ideas.

These boxes are the perfect size for little notecards, using our mini envelopes.  The ones on the left using DSP and the Daisy stamp set.  The one on the right contains cards left over from the Soft Sayings Card Kit.  Now, who will I be giving these to?

See you Friday for some Christmas boxes.

MONDAY

I am pre-posting this week's posts because I am now at the beach.  Yippee!  Hoping that Hurricane Jose stays out to sea.

For our team meetings I did a presentation on the mini pizza boxes in the Holiday Catalog.  So that is what I will share this week.  Here are the first 3, centering around special days.  Yes, you can cut the box with a thinlit and run it through the Big Shot.

 

I love how these turned out.

Come back Wed to see a few more.

FUN FOLD FRIDAY

Just a quick share this morning as I rush out the door for a full day.  I am sharing several bridge fold cards made by Sondra Jumper at our Sept stamp fest.  She also made several others that were beautiful.

If you look up bridge fold on Pinterest you can find several demonstrations of how to do this.  I haven't done one yet myself, but it is on my to-do list.  Here is one tutorial that is quick and easy by Lyssa Griffin Zwolanek.  Thanks, Lyssa.

Come back next week.  I will be at the beach, but have three posts that will share samples of the mini pizza boxes I decorated as a demonstration for our Joyful Heart Stampers' meeting.  So much fun.
