Morning! This week will just fly by and then it will be time for the CreativFestival in Mississauga, Ontario this Friday and Saturday! As part of the festivities I will be offering two free make and takes on the Saturday at 10:30am and 1:30pm but for those that can't join us, I thought I would share them with you!
The first make and take is a card which is perfect for Mother’s Day or as a thank you card for someone special in your life. I used Core’dinations’ Kraft Core cardstock which comes in many colours and has a kraft paper core. To make the cute little clouds I used just the top of my Stampin’ Up! cupcake punch. To create the “grass” section of the card, I used my Fiskars’ Grass Border Punch and then embossed the cardstock with the bottom portion of my “Bird Call” folder (Cuttlebug). Delicious!
Supplies: Core’dinations cardstock and Sand-It Gadget tool, Jillibean Soup kraft paper, My Mind’s Eye patterned paper, Stampin’ Up! cupcake punch (cloud), flower punch and “Sweet Button” embosslit, Fiskars’ border punch and circle punch, Cuttlebug embossing folder, We R’ Memory Keeper’s Corner Chomper,Technique Tuesday stamp, Tsukineko ink, other: layering tape.
The second make and take is a two-fer! We will be making a gift tag (“Happy Mother’s Day” option shown) and a bookmark. For this project I used my new Stampin’ Up! die, “Two Tags”.
It’s a great little die as it adds the score line/fold line onto the tag for you. I always like to add a topper to my bookmarks as it helps to prevent them from falling down into your book.
Supplies: Core’dinations cardstock, My Mind’s Eye patterned paper, Jillibean Soup twine and kraft paper, Kaiser paper flowers and bling, Stampin’ Up! die, heart punch, button embosslit, and sentiment stamp (Happy Mother’s Day), Fiskars’ heart punch, Technique Tuesday stamp, Tsukineko ink and We R’ Memory Keeper’s Corner Chomper.
Finally, at CreativFestival this weekend, I am teaching my Patchwork Quilt Album class at 3:30pm (2 hr. class). You must pre-register for this class and information can be found right here for that. We will be working hard to complete a 12-page album in two hours. This album would make a fantastic Mother’s Day present as well!
I hope to see you this weekend at the CreativFestival. Vicki Boutin and Virginia Nebel will also be there on Friday! Vicki will have copies of her brand new book Creative Foundations on hand and Virginia will be showcasing a brand new die she just discovered! We will have some great fun in the SCT booth!
Have a great week...and don’t forget that Mother’s Day is rapidly approaching. In fact, if you wouldn’t mind reminding my own children and husband, it would be greatly appreciated!

I think I'll leave this site open so my husband and son can see the great projects....maybe, just maybe they will be inspired to go work in my scraproom and be creative. I would love to be the recipient of your wonderful projects.
