November Techniques

I hope you had a great weekend and enjoyed your Thanksgiving. We had a great weekend and now in gear to get the house set up for Christmas before we leave on vacation!

I thought I'd start sharing the projects we do at Technique Class. If you'd like to join the fun when we have class, check out my class schedule and RSVP. I usually have 2 classes each month. One is a week night and during the winter, I have the other on a Saturday morning, usually the 3rd Saturday.

This was a fun card to do. I love the way it turned out, very festive!

Here's a close up of the front panel.

This is the inside.

This is a card I would make for some special friends. Again pretty simple but a little too much to mass produce unless you've got the time!

Here is another card using the Blossom Builder punch and stamp set. Aren't those cute fishies? Here I used Pool Party and Peekaboo Peach ink.

Catching Up!

Now that Thanksgiving is over, the mad rush is on to get everything else done! My husband asked me a few months ago if I wanted to go on a cruise. Of course I said yes! We haven't been on a real vacation in a while, where I don't have to cook and clean, so I jumped at it. Wasn't really thinking about the date, other then it would be cold here and we would be going to someplace warm! Guess I wasn't really thinking clearly! Besides, putting away my fall decorations, I need to get out my Christmas decorations, put up the tree, Christmas cards, I have posts to put together and a couple of classes to prep for!
Today I'm sharing what I'm doing for my monthly group swap. I'm not sure if I'll get them back in time before I head out to get them posted while I'm away, so I figured I share one now! The theme for November was a flat ornament. I pursued Pinterest and found a tree ornament.

I went to the site to see if they had any more info or suggestions, but the link didn't take me to this specific post and it was all in another language! So this is what I used for my instructions. Once I figured it out, which wasn't too hard, I came up with a way to make it pretty simple.

So here are some of the trees I've made so far. The center tree is what the back side looks like. You really don't use a lot of materials to make these trees. I used punches, but you could also use circle dies. I used the star from the Quilt Builder Framelits, but any star or whatever else you'd like for the tree top would be fine.

Thanks for stopping by today. I hope you enjoyed these trees. If I can before I leave (or when I get back, I'll try to do a video, we'll see how that goes!) You can find all these products in my STORE or below. Don't forget to use this month's Host Code too! Not sure if any of these items are part of the special going on right now, but I do know, Cyber Monday is FREE shipping!

Feature Friday

I hope you had a wonderful Thanksgiving! This year we celebrated it at our home. It's been a long time since we had everyone at our place, so it was nice not to have to haul everything another location! For those who are not out shopping I have some special treats for you! Since it's a countdown to Christmas, I'd show you some packaging you can do using the Christmas Quilt Bundle.

Well, I'm a bit late today! I had to work on the projects I was going to post! It's been a busy week, cleaning and getting everything ready for Thanksgiving.

So this first project is not packaging but thought it was so cute, I had to share. This was actually pretty simple to make. The whole thing is 8"x8". I used a little bit of three different papers from the Quilted Christmas Designer Series Paper and the smallest square from the Stitched Shapes Framelits. I attached all the squares with dimensionals onto a 4"x4" piece of Garden Green card stock.

This next project can a card, used for putting a candy bar, or a gift card. I used the Mini Treat Bag Framelits and the Wood Textures Designer Series paper stack to create the bag. The "quilt" part used Whisper White and a couple of sheets form the Quilted Christmas Designer Series paper stack.

This next item, is a package! I received a sample at a swap several years ago and saved it! It's a self closing diamond box. She had included the dimensions but was a little difficult to follow so I checked out YouTube and found several. There are different sizes you can make. I used a piece of 5"x7" piece of card stock. It would take too much to explain how to make it, so just google self closing diamond box. Maybe I'll get videos going soon and I can make my own video how to make this cute box. That's what's so neat about this box, it closes by itself! You don't need tape or any adhesive for it to close!

This last project is also super simple to make. These are great to handing out to anyone. Just a nice way to say thank you! Any snack size treat will fit in these as well. You'll need a piece of 6"x6" piece of patterned paper. You don't need any adhesive to hold it all together, but I do like to add a glue dot right under the flap.
