HOSTESS STAMP SET - MERRY PATTERNS

Wow, I love this Stamp Set.

The Limited Edition Hostess Stamp 

Set Merry Patterns creates these beautiful

 images quickly and easily.  

In these projects I have stamped the

outline image in black Memento ink and

then stamp the inside image in a

different colour.

I even found that it was very easy to line 

up the images.

The colours I have used for these projects 

are Cherry Cobbler and the retired 

Cucumber Crush (actually thought

I had Garden Green when I started stamping).

These are the Mini Pizza Boxes, which I 

didn't stamp directly onto the boxes, 

but rather on a piece of Whisper White

 Cardstock and then attached to the top

 of the box.

Inside our little Mini Pizza Boxes are

a set of 5 (3" x 3") Gift Cards.

This stamp set is a limited edition set only

available to hostesses with a workshop

total of $450. 

 If you think this set is beautiful and 

would like to earn one of these beautiful sets, please don't hesitate to contact

me today to arrange a workshop for

October.  This promotion finishes at the

end of October.

TEA and BIKKIES GIFT BAGS

 I am getting ready for a Craft Fair in

November and I came across these cute

little gift ideas (on Pinterest of course)

from Laura's Creative Moments.

Of course, I had to try them.

I created these ones to hold 2 Twinings Teabags,
2 sugars and a couple of treats.

The DSP I have used is Painted Autumn,
Foil Frenzy Specialty DSP and Naturally Eclectic.

The Teapot and Teacup are retired dies 
and the sentiments are from the Balloon Celebration Stamp Set.

These are Laura's original creations.  Just so cute.
