I've mentioned this before, but one of my favorite team events is our bi-monthly Shoebox Swap. One must be a demonstrator to attend (those outside of our team are welcome to attend, too). If fills up SO fast each month - it's such a great event!
We were supposed to have this earlier this month, but I was sick with a horrible cold so it was postponed until this past Sunday. I wanted to share the project I'm offering with you today and show you how I came up with the project.
I took the project that I had offered this past fall for a workshop make-n-take and changed it up to incorporate new products from the 2011 Occasions Mini Catalog plus a Sale-a-Bration set. Sale-a-Bration starts January 24th and I'm so excited! The offereings are GREAT and include stamps AND accessories from the main Idea Book & Catalog as well as exclusive items just for Sale-a-Bration.
It's not showing up well in the photo, but I did spritz the top two layers of cardstock (without the ribbon in place) with the Champagne Shimmer Paint/70% ethyl alcohol solution. So pretty!! I used Baja Breeze (ink and Pleated Ribbon) plus Basic Gray ink and cardstock. The stamp set is an exclusive Sale-a-Bration set (Elementary Elegance), then topped it off with a small Basic Rhinestone.
I added texture by using the Flower Garden Embossing Folder along with the Big Shot. The Big Shot remains on top of my "favorite tools" list. It's awesome! If you don't have one, you should order one from me soon! During Sale-a-Bration, I'll be offering extra bonuses when you do purchase your Big Shot from me. Watch for that announcement on January 24th.
Thank you for visiting my blog and I wish you a wonderful day. Hugs!!
