Stampin' Up!'s NEW firm Foam Stamp Pads...I've died and gone to heaven!


Here's what they look like - seriously, stampin' at it's finest!!

 We know you're going to love these new Stampin' Pads! Just look at all the exciting benefits listed below.

•Provide better ink coverage for your stamps!
•Light-tap stamping produces flawless images!

•Pad stays juicier for longer resulting in better ink pad longevity!

In addition, our new Stampin' Pads•Have a crisply printed, glossy label on the top of the pad that is easier to read and that will not fade or chip off!

•Come with color name labels in all four languages (English, Spanish, French, and German)-just choose your language, peel it off the back, and add it to the side of the pad for easy identification!

•Use the same patented flip-top case design that stores the inking surface upside down, so the pad surface stays moist!

End of Year Teacher Gifts Part 2

Seven more gifts...middle school and high school have a lot of teachers!

 These were fun!  I made the inside box first.  Cut cardstock 4-1/2" x 3-1/2" and score all four sides at 1".  The outside is 3-1/8" x 11" (3" would work just fine, I just wanted it a little wider).  Score at 4-3/4" and 6-1/4". 

 Assemble the box and set it inside the wrap.  Adhere with Sticky Strip.  Use the corner rounder on the top edges and use the Word Window punch for the handle.

All ready to go!  Today is the last day of school. *Ü*

End of the Year Teacher Gifts

The boys get out of school Friday.  I'm ready, I love having my kiddos home!

 Here are a few of them, they didn't all fit in the photo.  More to come. *Ü*

 This is one of the purses from the Tres Chic Handbags tutorial available on the right hand side bar or the tutorials page of this blog.  One of my all time favorite patterns I've created.  The card beside it is 3x3 in size, so you can see that the purse is about gift card size.

I put each side of the purse through an embossing folder for texture.  This one is Houndstooth, the other is Vintage Wallpaper Embossing Folder.  Stamp sets are Every Little Bit and Itty Bitty Banners cut with the Bitty Banner Framelits coming soon in the new Annual Catalog in June.

 Isn't this cute?  It is a gift card holder also.  This little cutie is from a tutorial by Lorri Heiling of Confessions of a Stamping Addict.  Check it out HERE.
