And some more...

These 2 are the same but different. I grabbed paper from the same package just a different design for each one. The designer paper comes from the Flirtatious pack.

For the top one I used Early Espresso and Pretty in Pink along with the Whisper White to match the designer paper. For the bottom one I used Chocolate Chip and Melon Mambo along with Whisper white to match the designer paper.

All other product used is the same on both of these notebooks:
Stamp Set - Cottage Garden
Accessories - Dotted Scallop Ribbon Border punch, Scallop Trim Border punch, Corner Rounder punch, Full Heart punch, 2 1/2" Circle punch, Bigshot, Square Lattice Embossing folder, Scallop Circle Die #2, Scalloped Heart of Hearts Embosslit die, Paper piercing tool and mat pack

I have one more to show you then it's off to the stamp room again to create some more.

A couple more altered notebooks

For these 2 I used all current product. The Designer series paper is from the Subtles Patterned paper pack. The Lattice is cut using Whisper White and the Lattice Bigz die and the Bigshot. I had to cut multiple of these, but that's easy because I could cut 4-5 at a time.

The flower is made using the Build a Blossom stamp set and the Blossoms Petals Builder punch. The buttons are from the designer button collections.

For the top notebook I used Perfect Plum classic ink stamped on Whisper White card stock for the flower petals and Old Olive classic ink stamped on Certainly Celery card stock for the leaves. I tied a piece of the white bakers twine to the button and adhered it to the center of the flower using mini glue dots.

The bottom notebook flower uses Marina Mist classic ink and button.

Come back tomorrow for a couple more.

Another altered notebook

These 2 are the same but just using different designer series paper. Of course the designer paper is retired, but still works for this. I combined it with current paper and embellishments to cover these 2 notebooks.

Come back tomorrow for a couple more.

Altered Notebooks

Here is something else I will be featuring at my upcoming craft show. Altered notebooks. Kids of all ages like to carry these to school instead of the plain old notebooks.

This one features retired designer series paper along with Soft Suede, Certainly Celery and Real Red. The flowers were made from the Bigz XL Flower Folds die and then embossed with the Perfect Polka Dot embossing folder.

Come back tomorrow for a couple more.

1 more Bigshot note pad

This is more of a seasonal one, but I just love how this turned out. I ran a piece of Bashful Blue through the bigshot using the new Snow Burst embossing folder. I then adhered it to a piece of the lightweight cardboard that comes behind the Designer series papers and and cut a circle using the 3 1/2" circle die and the bigshot again. I also cut a piece for the back and a piece of Shimmer paper, which I tore, for the snow on the front.

The inside paper pieces are done with printer paper again and cut using the 3" circle die.

The snowman is made using punches. Punches used are the 2 1/2" circle, 1 3/4" circle, 1 1/4" circle, Snowflake (for the arms), Owl (for the eyes, mouth and heart), Petite Pennant (for the hat and nose) and the little flower from the punch pack (for the ball on the hat).

I put dimensionals between each body piece and added rhinestone buttons down the front of him. Oh and don't forget the scarf which is just a knotted piece of Real Red grosgrain ribbon attached using a mini glue dot.

yet another Bigshot note pad

Seeing the ones on a website I found made of metal prompted me to try this one. It is made from roof flashing. You can cut right through it and even emboss on it using the Bigshot. Isn't that fun!!? Don't you want to just try it?

Would you like to try making one of these cute projects I have shown you in the past week? Contact me to get a group together and I can show you and you may just earn product for FREE!!! Remember the Bigshot is FREE too. Find out how!

Another Bigshot note pad

Here's one I made to look like an chocolate sandwich cookie with double stuff in the middle. It's pretty plain, but oh so cute!

I used the Scallop circle #2 die to cut out a piece of Early Espresso which I glued on to a piece of lightweight cardboard, then punched out a 2 3/8" circle in Early Espresso also, which I then ran through the Bigshot with the Polka Dot embossing folder but adhered it upside down so the indents went in.

(just a hint on the lightweight cardboard - if you purchase any of the Designer Series papers, there is a piece of white cardboard behind each pack - keep these, they work great for these kinds of projects)

I used the 3" circle die for the 'double stuff middle' papers, which again were cut out of printer paper.

I'll have another one to show you tomorrow. Thanks for stopping!

Bigshot note pad

I saw these cute little note pads on a website, but the cover was made from metal. So I took some retired Designer series paper and glued it onto some thin cardboard and ran it through the bigshot using the large flower from the Bigz L Fun Flowers die.

I then took some regular weight printer paper and did the same thing. I used the crop-a-dile to punch holes in all of it and put a binder ring through.

It needed something else, so I took some Pretty in Pink card stock and and cut out the rest of the flowers found on the Fun Flowers die and also embossed them using the Polka Dot Embossing folder and the bigshot. To hold all the flowers together I used a Silver glimmer brad from the Basics pack. Love these!

I have it hanging on the side of my purse so if I'm ever in need of a piece of paper I have one handy all the time. And when I need more paper, I can just some more and start over.

If you haven't used a Bigshot or have and really want one, ask me how you can get a FREE one! Yes, you heard that right. A FREE one!!!

Come back again to see more of these cute note pads I've made.

Another tissue holder

Again this is using retired Designer Series paper. I cut this out using the Movers & Shapers XL die. I did add a piece inside that was punched with the Scallop Oval punch because it is slightly smaller than the movers & shapers die.

The flowers on this were cut out using the Floral Fusion sizzlit die, then I ran the pieces through the bigshot with the Square Lattice embossing folder to give it a little more dimension. I put dimensionals between each piece also. The leaves were punched out using the Bird Builder punch. Adding a Self Adhesive Pearl to the center of the flower gave it just the right touch.

I hope you have found some inspiration in these projects so far. Come back tomorrow for another project I will be selling at my up coming craft show.

Tissue holder

Isn't this just the cutest way to hide a pack of tissues?!!! I used the Movers & Shapers die to cut this out, the Simply Scored to score and just wrapped it around the tissue. I would have opened the tissue to show how cute it is with the tissue coming out the top, but these are for a craft show and didn't want to open it.

The pumpkin is made from punched. What a cute gift to give to someone that has the sniffles!

The DSP used on this project is retired, but you could use any DSP or card stock.

Come back tomorrow for another one.

Craft show items

Over the next few days I will be showing you some items that I am making for a craft show I am going to be at in November. Some of the product that is used may be retired, because why not use it up.

First I have a cute little purse that holds either a small candy bar, chapstick or whatever else will fit in it. It is made from a 6" x 6" piece of Designer Series Paper (dsp used is retired).



Other product used:
Paper - Pumpkin Pie, Old Olive, DSP (retired)
Accessories - Gold Brads, Modern Label punch, Large Oval punch, Simply Scored, Velcro

The possibilities for these cute purses is endless. You could make them for any occasion. I think a gift card would even fit in them. Come back tomorrow for another one.

Another hairclip

Another one using some scrap fabric I had. Enjoy!!

Fabric hairclips

Here is a flower hair clip made with the flower folds die for the bigshot, just like the headbands but one size flower smaller. You could even wear this on a shirt or clip it on to your purse.

And another one...

This one uses the new Designer Series paper from the mini catalog called Deck the Halls. Love this paper! The tag is from the Tags Till Christmas stamp set and the new Decorative Label punch which are both in the holiday mini catalog.

The stamp set and the punch can be purchased together in a bundle at 20% off right now. And the paper along with a stamp set called Bells & Boughs can be purchased in a bundle at 20% off. Contact me today to order yours!!!

Hand Sanitizer Gift Package

Isn't this just the cutest thing? I love these. The hand sanitizers are from Bath and Body Works and here is a way to package them up to give as gifts. These make great teachers gifts, stocking stuffers or you can just attach them to the top of gifts as the tag.

If you would like to learn how to make these, please leave a comment on this post and we can set up a time to you and some of your friends and family together for a fun day/night of stamping and crafting before Christmas!

Another stamp club project

I saw these cute cute cones on my friend Kimberly's blog and just had to try them. SOOOO easy, but so classy looking. What a fun way to give a little extra special gift to someone this Christmas or any holiday. I put a hanger on it so it can hang on the tree. You could even attach to a gift instead of a bow.

This wonderful paper is from the Holiday mini catalog along with the new punch and the stamp set. As a matter of fact, the stamp set and the punch if purchased together as a bundle are 20% off. Go to my online store today and order yours. www.sheryldreyer.stampinup.net

Thanks Kimberly for the inspiration!!

The last headband

This is the last one!! Tomorrow or the next day I will some new items to show you. Come on back!!

More Headbands

For these 2 I used the Daisies #2 bigz die for the Bigshot. I love how easy it is to cut through fabric with these dies. With this material I could cut through 8 pieces at one time!

Headband #3

Come back tomorrow for another one using a different die. See you then!

Headband #2

Aren't these cute!!!
