Badges and Flowers

Seems like an unlikely combination, but “Badges and Flowers” describes a the next papercrafting night which will be on April 8.

The “Badges” part of the title refers to the new Canvas Badge Buttons which will be given as a sample to everyone that comes. These self-adhesive embellishments can be used plain or inked up to match your layout.

I stamped the first badge below with the cherry stamp from the Mayberry stamp set using Smoothie and Olive ink. Then I sponged the edges with Cocoa. Isn’t that sweet?

I sponged the second larger button with Olive ink, then stamped the small flower with Cocoa ink. Those of you that are more creative will probably come up with lots of other ways to decorate these fun buttons.

The picture also shows what the badges look like without additional decoration. The smaller button is turned over to show the backing that is easily peeled to reveal adhesive.

The second part of the title refers to the FLOWERS pictured below.

Hopefully, you are not getting tired of making paper flowers because I just can’t seem to stop. This little arrangement was just too sweet to resist. It is simple to make using round and scalloped punches.

The night will also include:

  • An Easter Egg Hunt
  • Sample Rub-Ons
  • Creating a leather look from cardstock
  • Your choice of a 1×1 stamp
  • Door prize drawing

Additional information on this papercrafting night is here. Don’t miss out! Please email me if you are planning to come.

If you want to purchase a kit, I need to know by tomorrow (Thursday March 31). Follow this link to see pictures of the mini-kits available for $6. You can also purchase the full Mayberry Workshop On The Go for $29.95 (plus shipping and taxes).

Have a PEARFECT day!

Miracle Fun!!

There is still time to sign up for this month’s Show-Me-Scrapping craft night this coming Friday, March 4. I wanted to share with you some of the fun things that we will be doing. First, we will be making the fun pinwheels pictured below using the Miracle My Acrylix stamp set.

Did you know that you can use a fork to make perfectly symmetrical bows? Come on Friday to learn how!This technique is especially good if you want a double or triple bows. It is also good if you need several bows exactly the same size. No more guesswork!

Everyone who comes will also get to sample one of the new Kraft Color-Ready Borders. They can be colored, are self-adhesive and come in lots of fun designs. Pick your favorite to try on your current project.

If you missed last month’s craft night, you may also be interested in trying your hand at making some of the paper flowers pictured below.

All of this, plus door prizes and up to 5 hours of crafting time (6:30 – 11:30 pm) for $4. Please email me if you have any questions or to sign up.

Currently, I also have a couple extra each of the Miracle scrapbooking and card mini-kits (pictured below). You can choose from the 2-page (12″x12″) scrapbook layout or set of four cards. These are $6 each and include everything listed above for the craft night. You can also order both for $8.
