Moroccan Flair
I love the way some of the stamps in the Paisley set go perfectly with this DSP. I got the idea for the first card from fellow Demo, Dawn Olchefske. It's a great way to use up scraps of Designer Series Paper. The double sided designs are just perfect for this folding technique. The second one I didn't fold the squares correctly, but decided to use it anyway. lol

Fairy Garden
This is a Fairy Garden I made for the Silent Auction at St. John's Apple Fest. The United Methodist Women put the Apple Fest on every year, with proceeds benefiting three different charities. This year it will be on Nov. 5th from 8-2.
This Fairy Garden
comes complete with Felicity Fairy
and some Fairy Notes. Much like Elf on the Shelf,
Felicity pops up around your home whenever someone
does something kind or shows an act of love. Felicity
uses the Fairy Notes to communicate with members
of the family.
This magical Fairy
Garden also contains a wishing
well,
No need for coins, as fairies can hear what you tell.

Sharing Treats & Stamping This Christmas Season
This Christmas season you’ll see people sharing treats with
their neighbors, coworkers, friends, and family. You can do it in style by
making some festive projects like this Candy Cane bag! When the package looks
this cute, it doesn’t even matter what’s inside. It's such fun and so
rewarding to spread some holiday cheer by sharing a little hand-stamped
something with the people around you.

Twist Gate Fold Card
I love this Twist Gate Fold. I found a tutorial for it on Split Coast Stampers. I used the Warmth & Cheer designer series paper stack, Christmas Pines Bundle and the Copper Pinecones all from the Holiday catalog.

- To create the folds, score the long 12″ side at 4 ¼, 7 ¼, and 10 ¼ inches.
- Line each panel with designer series paper alternating the patterns: 1 ½ x 5 ¼, 2 ¾ x 5 ¼, and 4 x 5 ¼ inches.

New Baby!
As I mentioned the other day, I'm making a Correspondence Basket for the Silent Auction at Our Church Apple Fest this year. The United Methodist Women do this to rais money for three charities each year. Some wonderful ladies have been helping me by bringing items to put in it. At this point I've just been putting items in the basket, I don't really have a flair for arranging and dressing up the presentation, but other ladies of St. John's do, so they will rearrange it and make it look gorgeous!
I didn't have any cards for a new baby yet and decided to make some. You will never believe what this carriage is made from... the Santa Sleigh Thinlits! A very talented Australian Demo came up with this. I wish I had the new Layering Circles Framelits, as they would have made the wheels perfectly. As it is my front wheel is a bit wider due to the punches and old Circle Framelits I had to work with. Hmmm.... vintage carriage.... maybe the larger wheel is supposed to be wider! lol
Here is what I used to make them. I then found designer series papers in yellows and mint.

Silicone Craft Mat
I love my Silicone Craft Sheet!!
Product List
 |
| see thorough quality (see last bullet) |
The inky techniques demonstrated atop the Ranger teflon mat,
etc. can all be done on top of the Stampin’ Up! Silicone Craft Mat. You can also scribble
mono multi glue onto the silicone sheets, and lay your intricate die cut onto
the glue and then adhere to your project.
The Stampin’ Up! Silicone Craft Mat is better because:
- The thickness & silicone layer itself provides better protection to the underlying surface. (set the glue gun on top, and no heat will be transferred to the surface below).
- Our Silicone
mats lay FLAT. We don't have to tape down the corners.
- Our Silicone mats don't scoot around ... they stay in place while you're working.
- You
can see through our Silicone mats: When gluing several layers, punch a
circle from cardstock and glue all of the smaller items onto the circle.
When assembling the assortment of die cuts, slip your card front under the
Silicone matt so you can “see” how big to build it. (see illustration above.) I got this tip from fellow Demo, Patty Bennett.
