Short on Time?


Novemberstopnstamp
Each month, I hold a STOP-N-STAMP class.  This one-hour class is great for those that are short on time, but love to be creative.  We make 2 projects, usually taking 10 minutes or less to complete....seriously!


Stampin' Up! has made it very easy to create gorgeous holiday cards and gift packaging this year.  My class attendees will be making the 2 projects above on Wednesday, but you can have a creative escape at home, too.  Check out the kits below, and then browse my online store for even more kits.








Thanks for stopping by!

Monday Montage 6--Simple Paper Wreath


Mondaymontage6


It's time for another exciting blog hop from the Monday Montage gals!  We've got some great projects for you, so let's get started.


Now that Halloween is over, I'm able to start thinking about Christmas.  My husband doesn't believe in decorating until after Thanksgiving, but I'm getting a head start.  I had seen a similar wreath on Pinterest earlier this year and knew I wanted to try my hand at one.  I love how this turned out!



Wreath1
I started with strips of designer series paper measuring 1-1/2" by 12", wrapping them around a 14" stryofoam wreath.  I used Tombow multi-adhesive to adhere the strips to the wreath form.



Wreath3
I used my scissors to create the "fishtail" ends.  Here's a tip:  after you cut the first one, save the triangle piece and use it as a template.  Then, all of your ends will appear even.



Wreath2I had some leftover embellishments from the banner kit and a few other projects. I just used them to accent the bottom of the wreath.  There is a lot of sparkle!
