Fabricate Friday – Customer gifts

Hello there!  Thanks for stopping by.  I hope you are headed to having a wonderful weekend.  For today’s project I am sharing what I am giving to my February customers who shopped in person or online with me this last month.  If you are visiting and are considering purchasing Stampin’ Up! products I hope that you consider me as your demonstrator as I do like to give a gift of appreciation when you do shop.  I try to keep the projects small so mailing them isn’t a super costly thing.  This month I had to include chocolate because well, you know, it’s my favorite (if you have been following me for a while you probably know that already).  Thanks to all who shopped with me and please know that I truly appreciate your business.

Fabricate Friday – Ghirardelli Chocolate Book

Hello and welcome.  A little house keeping before I begin with my little demonstration on how to make this cute little chocolate book.  Sale-a-bration (Stampin`Up!`s biggest annual sale) will be ending in 6 weeks.  Last week the limited edition products that were in the the Sale-a-bration brochure (pages 16 thru 19) are no longer being offered.  In their place there is 3 more items that have been launched for the last 6 weeks.  If you look to your right you will see the brochure cover with the title Sale-a-bration 2nd Release, feel free to click on it to see the new awesome products that are offered.  In order to get these exclusive products all you have to do is spend $60 with me and choose one!  I hope you take advantage of this sale as once March 31 comes along, all those exclusive products are gone.  😦

Just a note here…while sale-a-bration ends March 31 the Occasions Catalog stays current until May 31 and then something wonderful happens…THE NEW ANNUAL CATALOG!!!  New colours, new papers, new stamps…all very exciting with a bit of bittersweet goodbyes to our 2014-2016 In-Color inks and papers and embellishments.  I do not know what will be retired out of the regular offerings but I do know for a fact that those colors are goners.  Once they stop production those colors are hard to come by.  In case you loved these colors I have complied a few links for easy shopping with me.  I thank you again for choosing me as your demonstrator and look forward to doing my best for you.

Soon to be retired…stock up now before it`s too late! 

Ok, on to the project for today.  Can anyone say Chocolate!!! It`s my favorite.  Here is a little book in which to put your chocolates (if you can control yourself and not eat them before you wrap them in the little book (it was a real problem).  Anyway, check it out!

Christmas Gift Card Holder # 5

Hello and thank you for stopping by. I have worked really hard over the last month with the Christmas Crush and the Card holder series.  I am actually sad to get back to normal broadcasting next week.  In doing all this work I have met some wonderful people, gotten Christmas cards from all over the globe and have had a lot of fun chatting and reaching out to you personally.  I feel very grateful to be apart of the paper crafting community and feel very lucky to be working with Stampin’ Up! for this wonderful opportunity.  Yay, Stampin`Up!

If you are Canadian and in some way I have inspired you, then I would love the opportunity to earn your business by becoming your demonstrator (or if you too would like to become a demonstrator I would love to help you along with that goal too). You can email me if you have questions, or you can shop online right now by clicking any of the supply links below you will get to my online store.  You don’t have to live near me.  I can do my very best to support you from across our great nation.  I am happy to send you your first Catalog with me, and if you continue to spend $60 or more in a 6 month period I will send you your next catalogs for free too (as soon as they get off the presses, right from head office).  I really want the opportunity to earn your business so please tell me how I can improve your crafting life and I will do my very best to make it happen.  🙂

So the gift card holders I have made for today are more like cards.  I made 3 today because I am an over achiever and because they were all kind of the same but different.  Enough chatter, here is the video, pictures are below with details and a supply list below.

Christmas Crush – Project 5

So it`s true, I`m not all about cards…it`s Friday and Friday gets a 3D project.  Today is something that could be very useful as a gift wrapping…especially if you are heading to a friends house for dinner.  I always try to bring a bottle of wine…and this year I have figured out how to wrap the bottle.  I don`t know if you remember last year I tried to make a bottle wrap and came up with a triangle box instead.  It did not fit the bottle.  I was on the right track but now I really have figured it out, with the help of a mathematician I may add.  Check it out.
