this looks a lot like friday's post, but it really is different, with a lot more below! yesterday was our new orleans stamp club meeting and i had to prep and pack in the midst of working on orders and cleaning the house for a showing--so busy! anyway, we were to make valentine trading cards, so like i often do, i took inspiration from the stuff still on my desk. and i really liked the saltbox studio stud muffin card from friday, so i made it x 10, with a few changes on the smaller version--a background layer instead of a patterned cardstock detail, copics instead of pencils, and spica for the "you" instead of a black writer. i even ended up with a couple extra that i hadn't added "you" and ribbon to, which came in handy today for quickly turning plain white gift bags into the perfect birthday wrappings, with room for colleen to add her own greeting. gotta love that!
so back to stamp club. this month everyone brought shoebox projects and we created lots of cool stuff. it was fun being able to try so many different patterns and projects. first up, an easter basket created from the coluzzle take out box, filled with nugget eggs...
a post-it note holder, made with chipboard and patterned paper, and a ribbon tab on each cover, so that the pencil holds it closed...
a purse calendar, changing out the original cover with a pretty new stamped one...
a baby frame with sweet little embellishments...
and a great little pin to wear on st. patrick's day!
since i had to finish my trading cards there, i didn't get to all of the shoeboxes. but i brought home the supplies and directions, so hopefully i'll have those to show soon!
thanks for stopping by!
