OK...so once again it has been a while since I posted :( Oldest son's 8th Birthday Party, a school fundraiser, a workshop, painted my living room and dining room and hallway, a stamp a stack class, cutting up ribbon, cutting up more ribbon, a poker party, and once again still cutting up ribbon for our ribbon share, my Husband's birthday, and finally I was teaching a card making class as part of an Art Series at my church. These are just a few of the things that mark the days away on my calendar faster than I can keep up with. It was all very fun, but my posting to this blog certainly was neglected..... In my Art series, we made a total of 11 projects. Most were cards, but today I want to show this great Stationery Holder we made. I was shown how to create it at a meeting I attend with many other local demonstrators and it really is easier than it looks! Isn't that how everything goes??? It also includes 4 matching cards to complete a set.
I used the Designer Series Paper that was a Sale-A-Bration reward from February and March to create the holder and decorate the matching cards. The decorative edge was made using our new eyelet border punch. The colors used were Sahara Sand, So Saffron, Certainly Celery and Bashful Blue. Many of the embellishments were created using The Big Shot.
Isn't it cute?? Imagine the possibilities for this little basket....even though I call it the Stationery Holder for lack of a better term! Wouldn't it just be adorable as a baby shower basket? Put something different in each compartment, like a onesie, a rattle, a pacifier and a washcloth? Or for a little back to school gift with pencils, rulers, markers and scissors? If you used a 6x6 sheet of paper and made a smaller one - - wouldn't it make a cute party or shower favor filled with little candies?
I plan to host a spotlight class for this project soon!
