Karla's Stamp N Scrap

Office Gift Set

This is the 2nd half of the gift set I gave my sister and sister-in-law. The paper you see here is actually retired but any if the designer paper will work. Just pick your favorite colors. The set consists of 1 covered composition notebook, 1 covered mini composition notebook, 4 three inch cards, 4 four inch cards, and four 41/4 x 5 1/2 cards. and a post it note holder. 

       

The designer paper works so well for a gift like this. You don't use the exact same pattern of paper on everything or even the same color. But because it all comes from the same designer paper it has a coordinated look that coordinates. By using ribbon and accessories from the same colors as in the paper dresses up the look of the items. The flowers are from the "Eastern Bloom" stamp set. The Thanks stamp is from the level 2 hostess set called "A little Somethin' " from the 2009 Spring Summer catalog.

Stationary Gift Set

I love giving handmade gifts. These are stationary gift sets that I made for my sister and my sister-in-law. Each set consists of 10 monogram cards with 10 lined envelopes, 10 monogram seals for the envelopes, a pen made to match the cards, and a monogram bookmark made from a giant paperclip.

     

Here is the list of supplies for this project:

• 1 package of monochromatic designer paper

• 1 package of Whisper White card stock

• 1 package of envelopes

• 1 package of 8 1/2 x 11 plain colored (that matches the monochromatic paper)

• 1 roll of coordinating ribbon

• Large paperclips and RSVP pens from an Office Supply store.

Optional: I used the 1 3/8 circle punch and the scallop circle punch and scallop border punch from Stampin' Up!  (You could use what punches you have or cut out your preferred shapes freehand.)

This list of supplies will make 4 sets of 10 with left over supplies. With your left overs you could decorate a gift bag to put the set in.

Class at Georgetown Library in Jenison

I will be doing a class at the Georgetown Township library on March 19. We will making a coupon holder. In these economic times a lot more of us are utilizing coupons. You get some organization tips, some websites you can go to (some you may know) and have a great time. If you live in the Jenison area you can stop in at the library on Baldwin ave to register.

Butterflies and Heat and Stick Powder

 This is another scrap lift. I used different colors and different stamps but the same layout. I love the little butterfly. I stamped him with heat and stick powder and then covered it with purple glitter. I got the glitter on a garage sale last spring and it matches perfect plum very well.  I stamped butterflies in versamark all over the card stock. I cut a top note die in Sahara Sand and stamped it with a stamp from Stem sillouttes. 

Do you want to try the heat and stick powder? It is the neatest stuff. If you want to try it out call me and book a workshop with you and your friends. I'll give you a demonstration and let you give it a try as well.
