Altered container

I have saved a few empty Crytal Light containers thinking they would be fun to alter and play with and until now they have just been sitting on the shelf along with some other things that I had great plans for, LOL!

I decided to decorate one to fill with goodies and use it as a door prize for our Stamp Camp next weekend (August 6th).

I covered it with the retired Elegant Soiree designer series paper and added a strip of the also retired Sweet and Sour Specialty paper.

Then, I added a daisy made with the daisies #2 die and some ribbon.  The button is one of the big buttons that I ran some seam binding through the holes before attaching it.

Now to decide what goodies to put into it...  :)

Faith in Nature

I played with the Faith in Nature stamp set  a little more with these cards using Pool Party, Soft Suede and Crumb Cake as my colors.

The card bases are both embossed with the Vintage Wallpaper impressions folder and the DSP is retired Elegant Soiree.  The ribbon is also retired and is the back side of the dotted Soft Suede ribbon.

The sentiment is from the Love and Care stamp set and I added a couple pearls to the ribbon on each one as well.

Another sample using the upcoming hostess set called Faith in Nature, this time using the sketch challenge from Create with Connie and Mary. 

I stamped the pear image with Soft Suede ink and then used a blender pen to add Pear Pizzazz and Daffodil Deight to it.  Then I sponged Soft Suede around the edges and Baja Breeze the rest of the way in to the image.

The thank you is punched using the modern label punch, I first made the punch, then I put it in the punch again and cut it off so it was smaller.  Next I just used my scissors to even up the top and bottom.

November Stamp Club projects

This month I was inspired by a lot of different things for our projects :)  The layouts for the pages were inspired by some at Create with Connie and Mary Holiday edition and the cards by samples I have seen on our demonstrator community. 

I used the stamp set Season of Joy along with the Jolly Holiday Designer series paper on the layouts.

This card uses Word Play, Northern Flurry impressions folder and the Deck the halls designer fabric.

I had to throw in a non-Christmas card too so I used the Elegant Soiree designer series paper and the Morning cup stamp set on this one.

Color challenge page

I used this page for a color challege on Soul Scrappers that was for a dark brown, Baja Breeze and Very Vanilla - I used Soft Suede and also the Early Espresso waffle paper.  This was my first attemp with the waffle paper and I have to say I like the effect it gave this page. 

I also used Word Play, basic pearls, Deck the Halls and Candy Cane Big designer buttons, Victoria crochet trim ribbon and Elegant Soiree Designer series paper.
