12th day of Christmas

On the 12th day of Christmas my Stampin' Up! demonstrator gave to me ..... hand made presents!!

I love making hand made gifts and for all my lovely Stampin' Up! demonstrators in my team, I made these cute little brooches.

I used the now retired Stampin' Up! Candy Cane Christmas fabrics which just so happened to cordinate with my pink & red felts I had in my stash of felt.  I used some of the Gumball Green satin stitched ribbon for leaves.

I cut out the felt flowers with the Fun Flowers Bigz L die.  Easy!!

I love these so much, I've now made myself one.  But I wanted to wish the girls in my team: Beck, Belinda, Emma, Sandy &Tanya a very Merry Christmas xx

I hope you enjoyed my 12 days of Christmas and I wish you a Merry Christmas too xx

Make a Wreath!

It's Spring time now (although I sometimes wonder if the weather actually knows that), so I just want to fill the house with happy, sun-shiney & fragrant flowers.  I don't always have flowers (our garden isn't quite ready for that), so in the meantime, I found this fun project from Stampin' Up! that might just be the Spring project for me!!

 

The summer-bright Floral District Designer Fabric is perfect for sunny projects like this adorable fabric wreath. The designers from Stampin' Up! used the Big Shot, the Flower Folds Bigz XL Die, and the Circles #2 Originals Die to make our fresh and fun flowers.

So here's all the supplies you need to make a wreath too:

Inks:  Rich Razzleberry Ink Refill
Ribbons: Lucky Limeade 3/8" Ruffled Ribbon, Daffodil Delight Seam Binding, White Bakers Twine
Fabrics: Floral District Designer Fabric
Other: Designer Buttons - Brights Collection, Wreath, Burlap
Big Shot: Flower Folds Bigz XL die, Circles #2 Originals Die
