This is the cutest little reindeer swap that I got from Rhea Anderson at the Chattanooga Regional. She was a new friend that I met there – it was her first Stampin’ Up! event and she was so excited. This is a little pouch that folds over – on the inside is a slot cut with the modern label punch that she had a piece of candy stuck inside. She used some ribbon to make a handle so it is like a mini little purse.
The punch art reindeer is the cutest. He has a red shiny nose – use crystal effects to get it to shine. And the whole pouch is covered with the shimmery sparkles from the new Shimmer Paint in the Holiday mini. I don’t think it really shows in person but it does in real life. It is just covered in shimmer!
Can you guess how the antlers were created? It is one of our Big Shot Dies – it is the Stampin’ Up! Tulipe Bigz die – she just cut a piece off the die cut image and used it for the antlers – very clever and looks perfect don’t you think?
Thanks Rhea for sharing your creativity with me at the regional and joining us at our table – we enjoyed the day with you!
If you missed my Holiday Card class the other week – you are in luck, I am going to have one more class on Thursday, November 19th at 10:00 AM only (not night class – sorry). I’ll add it to my website calendar and be sending out an email to my email list. This coming Friday I’m having a Holiday BIG SHOT class! We will be making projects using the Big Shot – it should be lots of fun – an email will be coming out for that too.
I had a busy weekend – it was Wendy’s Gift Giving Extravaganza weekend – Wendy is my upline and each year she creates about a dozen projects and opens her house up for all day Friday and Saturday for everyone to come make gifts for the holidays. I hope one year to have something similar but for now I just attend hers. Everyone chooses the projects they want to make and I made three different ones this year. So Friday morning/afternoon I was stamping at Wendy’s house. Then Friday night I had my Stamper’s Club meeting – it was a lot of fun and we made some great projects there including a gift idea which I’ll be sharing later this week. Saturday morning I took Ryan to his soccer game and then went back to Wendy’s house in the afternoon. The best part about going to Wendy’s for this event is that her husband cooks for us! Home made soups and rolls, deserts and more – the food is great – I’m not sure I can get Greg to do that for me. Today I’ve been working on the school years scrapbook pages and tonight we went to dinner with Greg’s brother and mom and just got back. It feels like its after 9 but it was only 7 when we got home. The time change has it dark so early now.
Enjoy what’s left of the day!
Oh – one more thing – someone asked me a question about one of the projects I posted recently and I tried to email a reply but it came back with a bad email. So can you send me the question again with a different email. I forgot which project so if I didn’t reply to you then email me again. Thanks.
