A “Love”ly Little Gift

Pillow-boxes

These are some examples of the handmade gifts I'll be showing on Friday morning, when I appear on CH Morning Live (around 8:10 am). 

These were made with the Pillow Box die for the Big Shot.  I stamped the hearts from the Stampin' Up stamp set Love You Much on Pink Pirouette cardstock for the one in the rear, and used some of the Candy Lane Designer Series Paper for the one in the front.  I used the Heart to Heart punch to make a "window" so you could see the treats inside! 

We'll also be doing a pillow box (complete with candy – got to get it out of my house so I don't eat it all!!) at the "Love"ly Little Gifts class on Thursday February 12th at 7 pm in Burlington.  Contact me to reserve your spot!

Click on the starter kit pic on the right to see the list of items included within.  You can customize your own kit – particularly handy if you've already got a number of Stampin' Up stamps or ink pads.  EVERYTHING you need to start your business is included in the kit.

My role as an "upline" is to support the demonstrators who sign up with me, so I start by asking you to contact me with any questions you have about starting with Stampin' Up!  You can also watch the videos online here.  Once you've got all the information you need, I'll give you the password and you can head to my business site (www.yamstamps.stampinup.net) to sign up!!!  I would love to have you as a member of the "Eh" team (my group of demonstrators) – we span BC and ON – and growing (or is that spreading?!)

Quickie Love You Much card

Loveyoumuch This is a quick card I made using Stampin' Up!'s Love You Much bundle, on sale until the end of January.  The card is Riding Hood Red; the image is on Very Vanilla and backed with Mellow Moss; the strip is from the Candy Lane Designer Series Paper.  The image was stamped using stampin' write markers.  There's no Riding Hood Red stampin' write marker, but you can create one temporarily by touching the tip of a blender pen to some Riding Hood Red ink refill.  I cut out the "you much" and popped it up underneath the word, then added a few hearts punched with the Heart to Heart punch.

Need some Valentine's Day cards? Don't forget my "Love"ly Cards Class, Feb 4th – RSVP to reserve your spot!!
