There is more to this stamp set than I thought! I chose to use it for my April Card Class and made a really unusual fold card which started with a piece of 12 x 12 card stock! The Hello Darling contains a variety of images which, at first, did not work together for me, but once I started ‘playing’ was able to produce a number of different designs.

Swallow Tail Butterfly Thank you
I probably make more thank you cards than for any other occasion and I usually make at least 2 of the same design ~ once you have out the inks and ribbon it is just as easy to do everything twice.
Hello Darling……1 card…… 2 occasions……
I needed to make a ‘thank you’ card for a friend, well you have to cut a piece of 11 x 8 1/2 in 2 pieces to start the card and you already have your stamps, ink and embellishments out, so why not just make up both halves……..
Thank you Gift Set using Butterfly Basics
Those of you who know me or follow my blog, know that I work for H & R Block. We are busy people from Jan 1st thru April 15th and we rely a lot on the fantastic ladies who run our front desk, answering phones, greeting clients, taking payment, confirming appointments etc (often times one or more of these at the same time!)
I take a little time before ‘tax day’ to make a little thank you gift for them, I know they make my life a lot easier for all they do for me.
Bookmarks using Stampin’ Up!’s Butterfly Basics
I recently received a copy of the Book of Morman from Shelli and Sterling Gardner and it contained a handmade bookmark, it got me thinking that with all the electronic media we have these days the good ol’ bookmark really doesn’t have much of a chance! But we all do have at least one book we could use one in ~ our Stampin’ Up! annual catalog for example!
I always have a little gift for each of my customers and for March…. you guessed it…. they all got a bookmark!
Easter gifts …….
I value the ladies who come to my classes, I love the enthusiasm they bring and the wonderful friendships I have developed in the 4 1/2 years I have been a demonstrator.
During my March class I gave everyone a little ‘milk carton’ filled with tiny chocolate easter eggs……………………….
I’m back………………..
Tax season is over, I’m back at my work bench and normal service is about to resume!!!!!
I apologize for not posting very much in the last 5 – 6 weeks, been very busy helping the nation file their taxes ( did not actually get ours filed until late on the night of the 14th ~ bit too close for my liking, prefer to get them done by mid-March!)
But while I have not had time to post I have had some time to make and have some things to share with you over the coming days………………
Thank you cards
One of the lovely things about having card making classes is when you receive a hand-made thank you card in return. I thought I would share a couple I got in the mail in the last few weeks.
FYI – 2 more days Sale-a-bration before finishes…… did you get your free stuff yet? Click the ‘shop now’ button to the right there – you won’t be sorry 🙂
Gift Card Holder using Stampin’ Up!’s Mini Treat Bag Thinlit
We were invited to a first birthday party on the weekend before Christmas. It is very difficult to know what to buy for a one year old, so I wimped out a bought a gift-card ~ I figured his Mum would know exactly what to get and choose something she liked as well 🙂
Rather than simply give the gift-card in the little holder they give you at the store I made a birthday card/holder using the new Mini Treat Bag Thinlit from the new Stampin’ Up! Occasions mini catalog*…………….
Thank you cards
I have three parts to my working life, Tax Advisor during tax season, Stampin’ Up! demonstrator and Origami Owl designer. I have, on more than one occasion, expressed my feelings on the importance of saying thank you! I recently did some jewellery bars and 2 parts of my working life were able to come together when it came to thanking my hostesses!
