Valerie favor box xmas

PATTY BENNETT'S PROJECT #1 – ABOVE:  I LOVE the Fancy Favor Die box (item 115965, pg 200) and decided to start making some Christmas samples.. here is a Fancy Favor Die box (made with the Big Shot) and our fun retro looking HOLIDAY LOUNGE Designer Paper (item 115676 on pg 162).  I punched a circle with the 1-3/4" circle punch and added a square of dotted window sheet behind it. (Dotted window sheets from the "Clearly Thanks" package, item 115122, pg 169).

PATTY BENNETT'S PROJECT #2 – ABOVE & BELOW: this is a card we made at Valerie's Stampin' Up! workshop last weekend… the cardstock is Rich Razzleberry, the designer paper is Cottage Wall (item 115671, pg 160) and it's embellished with a strip of Old Olive that has been textured with the Finial Press Embossing Folder (item 115963, pg 195) and the Big Shot.  The scallop embellishment is a piece I cut with the Scallop #2 die/Big Shot and our On Board Chipboard sheets, then covered with Rich Razzleberry DSP and a stamped center and added a Jumbo Brad.

  4. Patty, I always love your work, but you have outdone yourself with those notepad/folders! I’m anxiously awaiting more details on those. I just sent my oldest to college last week, & I know she would love these!

  9. I love all 3 of your projects. I will be gone the month of Sept., but my girls still wanted a hostess party so I made up 2 projects and they are going to host and demo their own party. They can’t wait to see and order from the new holiday mini. Sure hope it gets sent out soon. Happy Stamping, Nancy
