Happy Valentine's Day!

I wanted to share this photo of some Valentine's Matchboxes I made for my mom's group friends. These are quick and easy to make, with your Big Shot die cutting machine and the Matchbox die. I filled mine with chocolates. And they are great with any paper for any occasion. One of my customers made adorable matchboxes for a Halloween party, and I'm going to help another friend make these for guests at her daughter's birthday party.




I used assorted Stampin' Up! designer series papers and card stock. The stamp sets I used were Matchbox Messages, Well Scripted, and Teeny Tiny Wishes. And yes, that's my salt shaker in the photo... classy!



I hope you all have a wonderful Valentine's Day!

I've had interest in doing Christmas cards for the November 6 Stamp-A-Stack, so I am making that change. For this event you will make 20 cards for $25. I have two cards designed for you to choose from, pictured below. You can make all 20 cards the same, or make 10 of each design. When you arrive, all of the paper will be pre-cut for you. All you have to do is stamp, punch and assemble!

Desgin credit for the navy & silver card belongs to Andrea Lee. Design inspiration for the green/red card belongs to Anne Brown. Thanks ladies!

This class is scheduled for November 6, at 7 PM, in my home. Email me to register and I will provide directions for you. If more than 6 people register to attend the location will change. I will let you know if that happens!
