Happy Thanksgiving

Thanksgiving is my favorite holiday.  No gifts, very little shopping and at least in my family, just lots of food and time together.  We have about 17 people coming over for dinner and I just wanted to post very quickly to show you the tag my DD and I made to put on the silverware.  She rolled the silverware and tied them with some Fall fabric and I embossed in silver the place setting and die cut with framelits.  They turned out very nice.  Hope everyone's turkey day is full of people who you love and love you and lots of pumpkin pie.

mini purse

I saw this mini purse made out of the mug framelit in the Holiday Catalog called Holiday Collection.  It is made to be used with the Hot Chocolate Mug but Penny Smiley thought to turn it on it's side and make a purse out of it.  I made 10 of these to give to my Girl Scouts yesterday and put a Hershey mini candy bar inside but it stuck out the sides so I am hunting for a smaller piece of candy to put in and be completely hidden.

You start by using the 1/2" Circle Punch and punching along the top of a strip of cardstock, I used Real Red.  Then place the mug framelit so the handle frames the hole you just punched.  Do this twice for the front and back of the purse.  I ran my purses thru a Stampin' Up! Embossing Folder and tried several but this one from the Delicate Designs Folder on page 188 was my favorite.  I made a little insert out of a piece of cardstock that measured 1"x1 1/2" and scored along the side.  Lined up the bottom of cardstock and purse and adhere with sticky strip and embellished!   Aren't they adorable?  I don't know who like them the best, the girls or their Moms.

The joy of opening that SU! box.

I came home today from voting and doing errands and there on the table on the porch was a sight I love to see.  A Stampin' Up! box just waiting for me to unpack and sort the orders and see what I got for myself.  This order was from the awesome 15% off sale SU! ran last Monday.  I started including a card in with my customer's orders and today I am sharing the card they will get in their bags.  I saw a card like this on Pinterest and didn't really pin it just tried to remember how it looked.  Well, mine doesn't look anything like the one I remembered  but I like it anyways.  It uses the Holiday Frame Embossing Folder from the Holiday Catalog and that made all the difference.  A little Champagne Glitter Paper doesn't hurt either.
