Snowflake Tags.....

Today I'm sharing the cute little snowflake tags we made at my December Wine and Design class at Prescott Winery.  It was so much fun - had some of my regulars there and a few newbies.  Since it was so close to Christmas I opted for these, as they could still use them on their gifts.
They are so cute and easy, no time at all to make up a bunch!
You can see in the picture below, that we popped up the snowflakes on dimensionals - this gave the tags a little character.
 
Thanks for stopping by - see you soon!!! ~Maureen

Love the Colors of Fall!

So I'm going through my pictures folder and I came across several pictures of cards that I don't think I ever posted.  So I think I'm going to do so over the next few days.  Most of our Christmas decorations are down, and the tree comes down tomorrow - so the house is looking a little drab.  Then I saw this picture that took me right back to all the beautiful fall colors we had - and I had to smile
This card is made with the Sheltering Tree set from Page 96 of our annual catalog.  This set is so versatile and you can make cards for every season of the year.  Fast, easy and lots of options.  Check it out and see where your creativity takes you!  ~Maureen

Wine and Design Gift Card Holder

So I've been fortunate enough to be invited to do a couple classes at the Prescott Winery - a little local wine tasting room.  We did two weeks of an evening Wine and Design class - where we made cute little items and the ladies enjoyed a glass of wine with their tickets. It has been so much fun - so will be doing a class a month there in the New Year!!
The ladies got to choose from several different paper designs -
The holder is kept together by this cute little belly band featuring Rudolph wishing them a Merry Christmas!
Just slide it off to open the holder and reveal the gift card -
Really a nice presentation - the card holder can be adapted for any reason - any season!!

INSTRUCTIONS: So - you start with a 6" x 5 1/4" piece of DSP (designer series paper) - I love Stampin' Ups! as it is designed on both sides with a coordinating pattern.  
Score on the long side at 1 1/4" and 3 3/4"; turn and score on the short side at 3/4"and 4 1/2".  Cut out all the solid and scored sections - you can use a circle punch and corner rounder to do the curved areas.  Fold in the two side flaps, and adhere about half way up with good adhesive, then fold the 2 1/4" up over the folded in flaps and stick together.  To make the belly band use a 1"x6" piece of cardstock and fold around the gift card holder and adhere.  Decorate however you like.   ~Maureen

The Occasions Catalog starts tomorrow - Jan. 4, 2017!!!!

It's here - and available to anyone that would like a copy.  Just let me know.  Here's a cute little video featuring some of the great new products that will be available tomorrow -

Plus - it's time to start Sale-A-Brating! 
 
Our biggest sales event of the year is here—and we’re here to help you learn about the products inside and out. Every week for the next 12 weeks I’ll highlight a Sale-A-Bration product with information and resources that will make you fall in love!  
Our first product highlight is the Hey, Chick Stamp Set. Read what our illustrator, Lori Sume, has to say about her inspiration for the set:
"When I was a child growing up in Canada, I remember some family friends who had little chickens that I thought were so cute. A couple of summers ago here in Utah, I stopped at a friend’s ranch and saw all their cute animals including their chickens. They had typical chickens but also another kind called Polish Frizzle Bantam White Chickens. I think they are so funny with all those feathers flopping around on the top of their heads and how they like to stare straight at you and cock their heads.
So when I was assigned to create the Hey, Chick Stamp Set, I was so excited. I wanted to exaggerate the rounder chickens and really make them round, and I also really wanted to draw one of those funny chickens I saw at my friend’s ranch. It was a really fun set to create."
Here’s the deal: 
SHOP - for every $50 USD/$60 CAD you spend (before tax and shipping), you get a FREE Sale-A-Bration product. That means it’s the perfect time to purchase those products you’ve had your eye on while earning more products for free.
