Enjoy!!

Tuesday night we meet at the Library with cards provided by Beth and Joyce, Everyone was there except for Peg who is caring for her friend Lynn and her new knee.

Beth embossed the flower background with a folder, layered cute ribbon and shimmer paper top note die cut stamped with a swirly tree then embellished with red glitter dots.  The sentiment was stamped over the top of the tree.


The card Joyce created is a fall beauty. Markers were used to color the stamp, an accent strip was added to one side and a punched strip added to the other. Joyce had several sentiments to add but I will save mine for a sympathy card.


See you Saturday for Karla's SU party at my house. she promises to only bring 2-3 food items.

First project was from me, (lifted from Becca Feeken - Amazing Paper Grace), using two nestiability taped together to create a frame, save the center of one of the frames to stamp the message, used SU DSP from the Sweet Pea paper stack. Embellished with Dew Drops


Lois was up next and wowed us with gift tags, but we wonder is there are any paint sample chips left a Home Depot. The paint sample strip was attached to the card stock, stamped with a coordinating image, corner rounded, run through a embossing folder, hole punch and ribbon added. The blue paint sample was punched first, then attached to the tag, a die cut snowflake with a diamond added to the center of the flake topped the tag..
 

Water Break and had to move around next.

Paulette showed us how to make little luminaries with a SU bag die and sizzelets.She also provided a "tea lite candle" for the inside., You could make these for any holiday or event.!! Cute!!

Reverse side


We were the first ones to use her SU pillow box die to create Treat Boxes, won't  this be cute with some ribbon and the Boo from the luminary on a tag.



Whoooo made the cutest card, why Mary of course, she loves the SU owl and things that "peek". The outside was a wood grain texture plate (once we figured out the "samich"), attach to the espresso card stock, circle punch mid way up, topped with a scallop circle with the center punched out. Message on a word window and label punch under it..


The owl was put together and sat on a branch (bird punch) and mounted on white c/s so he/she can peek through the hole.


Lunch break, delish strawberry salad, corn and ham chowder, crackers and buns.Thanks everyone for pitching in, many hands make light work. Lois did all the dishes.

Mary offered a second project using the rose folder, excess was cut off and ink and a finger dobber were used to highlight the rose. Ribbon slits were added and a bow was tied, attached to the base and label die cut, punched and sponged. This idea could be used to create a sympathy card.
 

My last project used the small pennant die and honors my dads favorite kind of corn, candy corn!!
Two yellow small pennants were cut, white paper attached to the tip and sponged in orange, orange stripe added and the yellow top sponged. To create the door hanger, fold the scalloped  edges in with a bone folder, add red line tape to the scalloped edged, put together and on the back side push hard with the bone folder to get good contact. Small holes are punched in the from top corners and a handle made with hemp cord. Little candy corn buttons (from my stash and trick or treat ribbon added.

Yummy treats were shared, loved Lois's pumpkin bars with the little frosting pumpkins on top, pretzel bread, sub sandwiches and all the dips and chips. Excused absences for Mary, Gwen, Joyce and Paulette.
