Make N Takes, Luv 2 Stamp Meeting, Oh My!

Yesterday was Patty Bennett's Luv 2 Stamp Meeting. These are the gorgeous make n takes we did.

We used so many "new" products for these make n takes.

We used the "new" Circle Thinlits Die to make the card base. Then add Festive Flury bundle, (Framelits & Stamps, save 15%), #133285 and Winter Frost Designer Series Paper, #132341 and Frosted Finishes Embellishments, #132150 (its in the center of the snowflake). And you have a BEAUTIFUL card in minutes!

Look how it opens up. You totally want to sit and open and close it a hundred times......just sayin' YOU NEED THESE DIES!

And this card uses the Season of Style Designer Series Paper Stack, #132181, Chevron Punch, #132154 and Cherry Cobbler 1" Stitched Edge Grosgrain Ribbon. Not to mention the Deco Labels Dies, #130102 and Candy Dots.

I love the added touch to the inside of the card with a strip of dsp.

Have you seen these new boxes? Decorative Window Gift Box, #132146 and the Pretty Presents Designer Bows, #132186 with the matching Pretty Presents Designer Tags, #132179. Oh and don't forget the Cherry Cobbler Ribbon, #132135. This box went together so fast. The ribbon bow is already cut, you just punch it out and assemble. Easy peasy!

This box is 1 1/2" x 4" x 4", perfect for a cookie!

Next up, our new Mini Muslin Bags, #132180. We used the stencils from the Build a Banner Simply Created Kit, #133507, to make the polka dots on the bottom of the bag. And the Pumpkin Pie 3/4" Chevron Ribbon goes perfect with the stamp set, Halloween Bash, #130580. You can stamp directly onto the muslin bags with Classic Ink, (as long as you don't wash it, it will be fine).

We used 3 punches to make this tag. 1 3/4" Circle Punch, #119850, 1 3/4" Scallop Circle Punch and the Decorative Label Punch. Finish offed with a couple of Candy Dots, #130932 (Regals).

 Aren't these all just gorgeous fun projects? I think Patty out did herself.....

We had such a good day. Started off with the recognition of many people in our group. I was #4 in sales which earned me a $65 shopping spree with Patty. We tossed around business tips for hobby demos and also business mined demos. We also got to see the try out the new Rotary Cutter with the different attachments. Check out page 176. 

This tool is amazing. I am ordering the Rotary Cutter and the other blades with my shopping spree with Patty. I already have the trimmer which I love!

Then after we had lunch at Fuddrucker's (which is where we meet each quarter) we did our make n takes. It was such a fun day! Thank you Patty!
