Paper Roses

As most of you know I love roses so today I watched a video on how to make paper roses on YouTube by Vickypgr and thought I just had to try them out. So this is the card that I came up with. I'm sure it's a skill that takes some time to develop but I liked how they turned out....I will keep practicing though.



I used all Stampin' Up! products including Crumb Cake for the base, Pink Pirouette as the layer and Presto Patterns Specialty Designer Series Paper sponged with Crumb cake classic ink to give it a distressed look. I used the 2 3/8 inch scalloped punch and (ops) retired Kraft 3/8 taffeta ribbon to finish it off.

The roses were made from the 1 3/4 circle punche, cut in a spiral and then wrapped around a paint brush handle. I took a picture to let you see how it progressed.





Enjoy!!!

Surprise Gift

We had our demo get together last week and I came bearing little gifts every girl would love. I found this on Lorri Heiling's website and thought it would be the perfect thing to case for my girlfriends.

I found the round note pads at the Dollar Tree store and the lipstick pens on the internet that were perfect for this project. (Don't you just love how you can find anything on the Internet LOL)

I used our Stampin' Up! colors to match the lipstick cases, they come in assorted colors, as well as black and silver card stock for the compact case.



Here it is closed up ready to give.
And here it is opened up so you can see the note pad inside




Hope you enjoy!!
