They LOVED their Sweet Pea Totes & Tags!

After my Luv 2 Stamp Group Stamp A Rama event yesterday, I gave each participant a Sweet Pea Tote Bag from Stampin' Up! and the supplies to make a heart tag for their tote... they had a GREAT time making them in the afternoon, and they loved this gift.

 The front of the tags were the same design, but with their initial on it (I cut them using chipboard, and the Serif Essentials Big Shot die):

E for Elyse:

So that I would have enough of the birdy/flower design for each person, I printed it out from My Digital Studio using the Sweet Pea Designer paper download file !  :) 

 They each got to design the back of their tag using a piece of DSP from the Sweet Pea Designer Paper pack and Sweet Pea felt.. aren't they soooooooooo cute!?

 
 I didn't photograph them all because some were similar to those above.. .but aren't they CUTE !! ?  I just love my gals.. they are sooooooo talented!

To find out how you get get your own bag and tag, see my 2 previous offers HERE and HERE. (note: Super Bowl Sunday offer ends at midnight, Sunday, Feb. 7th).

Fancy Favor Valentine Pouch

My friend Jan Wakeland is AMAZING... she blogged this idea awhile back and I KNEW I had to share it at my Valentine class!!!!!

I know.. you are saying, "OK, and WHAT'S so amazing about this!?"... well...... look what it is made out of:

It's made from the Fancy Favor Die Box cut out with the BIG SHOT!  (item 115965 - only like THE BEST die in the catalog!)

As you can see..only PART of the Fancy Favor Die Box has been used.. you cut off about 1/4 of it... and the GREAT NEWS about this project is....  to cut this part of the Fancy Favor Die ONLY TAKES 1/2 OF A SHEET OF 8-1/2" x 11" CARDSTOCK!!! WHOOOHOOO!

Then you fold the middle flap up and punch with the Heart Punch:

Then fold up all the bottom flaps and tuck one side into the other.. secure with a small piece of sticky strip.


 I added the Sweetheart Treat Cup in the opening and finished it off with some Sending Love DSP.  I used a "tag" from the Two Tags Die to slip into the pouch and that kind of holds the candy in.  All ordering info is below.

This is how the back side will look:

Scallop Trim Border punch Valentine

I LOVE this new (FREE!!!) Scallop Trim Border Punch from Stampin' Up!  Isn't it so cool how it coordinates with the Scallop Trim CORNER punch (pg  11 of the Occasions Mini Catalog). 

And then, when it's layered onto the Scallop Square die cut out with the Big Shot... well... JUST TOO COOL!

 
We made this in my Valentine class on Saturday. To fill the Heart Treat Cup, we stamped and punched out our own confetti :)  See chart below for ordering info.

Scallop Trim Corner Punch    Scallop Trim Border Punch 

 

Tip for punching the Scalloped Real Red piece: I started with a 3-7/8" square, punched all 4 corners first (with the corner punch UPSIDE DOWN) then punched the 4 sides with the border punch RIGHT SIDE UP... very easy.

I {heart} Hearts Clear Mount Stamps

OK>  I'll be honest... I saw the I {heart} Hearts set on page 14 of the Stampin' Up! Occasions Mini Catalog and thought, "I LOVE hearts... but I have soooooooo many heart stamps.. I don't need another one"... ok.. that lasted a week... THEN I BOUGHT IT ...  :)  

So... can you guess why I did this with some of the stamps from my CLEAR MOUNT I {heart} Hearts set  and my I block ?  (that's the letter i , not the number one).

When you mount several of the clear mount stamps onto one block, you can create a SUPER QUICK BACKGROUND !!

Here is a card we did in my Heart Treat Cups class yesterday using this technique:

For ORDERING info on the card above, check out THIS FLYER for our fun Heart Treat Cups and the Sweetheart stamp set!

and here are 2 more examples made with the heart "background" stamp:

I'm tellin' ya.. what a QUICK CARD this is using that technique!!  whooohoooo!!  I'm LOVIN' my new Clear Mount Stamps!!

I {heart} Heart set: Clear mount - #118571 ONLY $18.95 !!  Wood mount - #117010, $26.95 - see page 14 of the Occasions Mini catalog.

UPDATE: Vintage Tablecloths

I wanted to say THANK YOU from the bottom of my heart for each and every heart-felt, passionate response, email and blog comment you have sent me regarding my Vintage Tablecloths!! :)

I received over 175 responses, most were comments on my blog, and some of you emailed me privately.  At first your responses were split about 50/50 saying either Don't cut them up and use them in other projects, or, yes, cut them up and do what you want - enjoy them - they are yours to do with whatever you want.

However, as the day went on, your responses definitely leaned toward DON'T cut them up..  wow.. I sure learned a lot about vintage linens in only 24 hours! :)  Thank you for all of your suggestions and links to amazingly interesting websites!!  I also searched on ebay for awhile, too. 

Thankfully, one of my Stampin' Up! downline has a sister-in-law who is a local antique dealer who specializes in linens, so I am going to meet her on Tuesday for a little more input about these table cloths and a box full of other vintage linens I have - some dating back to the late 1800's!!

I will be happy to report back next week to let you know what I've decided to do.  I think I could have an aution here and sell them all based on the huge number of you who wanted to buy them :)  Thank you again for your interest, suggestions, etc.  Oh, and I'm definitely keep the geranium one.. that is my favorite, and was a favorite for most of you, too :)

You are all amazing!  Thank you for caring and sharing your knowledge and advice!
