Here are the FREE make-n-take projects for my Friday night Customer Appreciation Event.  I think you're going to love them!!  I've got a nice assortment of ideas.  Check them out.....

This first project features the Reason to Smile stamp set.  I'll be giving this set away at the event on Friday!!   It is a beautiful two-step stamping set!  So much fun to play with!!   Don't miss your chance to win this fun set!!  This card was CASEd from a similar card that was shared at our montly Rubber Queen meeting earlier this month - I apologize I did not take note of who actually created this card....!  It sure is cute though!

The "Happy Birthday" sentiment is from the Perfectly Penned set. This card also features the Fancy Flower Textured Impressions Embossing folder, the Apothecary Accents Framelits and the coordinating Essentials Paper Piercing Pack.

It's not too early to start thinking about the holidays...  Halloween will be here before you know it!!  I'm going to be ready this year with lots of treat ideas for the kids to take to school!!

This cute Halloween treat holder features many new products from the Holiday Catalog.  I'll start with the 1/2" Striped Satin ribbon at the top - they say it's "striped just like a witch's stocking"!  Then, move down to the Howlstooth & Scaringbone Designer Series Paper (love that name!) punched with the scallop circle punch and then the Mixed Medley Hostess Stamp Set (with the spider web and "Treats for BOO!").  This set is only available for party and club hostesses - ask me for more details on how you, too, can own this cute set!! 


Just a cute, simple topper for that 1 x 8" cello bag that holds the best part - the M&Ms!!

Card Class - Wednesday, August 8

Here are the cards we'll be making this week on Wednesday, August 8 at our All-Occasion Card Making Class.  Class starts at 7pm.  Please let me know if you'd like to join us!  Just email me at amy.frillici@yahoo.com or call (989) 330-0259 to RSVP today!!
This first card is a CASE from Mary Fish.  I saw this card on her blog, Stampin Pretty, a while ago and knew I wanted to make it!  Well, I just finally purchased the stamp set,
Embellished Events, and got right to it!!


We start with a clean Whisper White card base, add a layer of Floral District Designer Series paper, which then sets the tone and color scheme for the rest of the card - Tangerine Tango and Lucky Limeade, of course!  I just love how our DSPs suggest
such great color combination ideas!

Embellished Events Wood-Mount Stamp Set

Embellished Events  wood-mount  126495  $28.95

Plus, this stamp set is super-cute, don't you think?? 
You'll be seeing a lot more of it in the near future, I'm sure!!

This next project isn't actually a card, right??  I know....  But I thought it was such a fun idea and wanted to share it at my next class. 


For this project, we start with the Petite Purse Bigz Die with the Big Shot.  We trimmed off the top closure of the purse so that you'd get a glimpse of the candy inside.

The flower is punched with the Boho Blossom punch using the Summer Smooches DSP.  Then we tied a bow using Daffodil Delight seam-binding ribbon around the strap of the purse and added the sentiment "sweat treets" from the Teeny Tiny Wishes set.  I know you can't really see this, but, trust me, it's there!  This sentiment is cut out and fits perfectly on the new Bitty Banner Framelits Die with the Big Shot (the curly one).

Well, I've had my Simpy Scored Scoring Tool and the Diagonal Plate for a while now and have seen LOTS of others make cute coordinating cards and envelopes. 
I knew I had to give it a try!!

This card is another CASE from Mary Fish (I just can't stop, I know!! - but...... why reinvent the stamping "wheel" when she has so many awesome ideas, right??)!   This card is a smaller version of Mary's, at only 3x3 - perfect as a gift enclosure card. We feature the Polka Dot Parade and Floral District Designer Series Papers, then add a heart and circle that are paper-pierced around the inside of the images with the new Paper Piercing Tool, Paper Piercing Mat and Essentials Paper-Piercing Pack.  I love how the designs coordinate perfectly with so many framelits and punches.  See for yourself....

This is such a fun, simple way to add an accent to any project!!

This last card features a card layout I really like....



It starts with a Rose Red base layer, then a layer of Not Quite Navy, then the actual card itself is the -River Rock top layer.  We featured the Raining Flowers Two-Step Stamp set (a perfect summer stamp set) on this thank you card!

The Large Scallop Edgelit die with the Big Shot adds a little interest to the bottom of the card, and the Color Spritzer Tool adds those little splashes of color (in Rose Red)
on the card face itself.

You just put a marker into the bottom of the Color Spritzer Tool show above, then squeeze and release the bulb to spritz the color from the marker onto the page.  What fun!!
I hope you've enjoyed these cards this month!  Please let me know if you'd like to join us at class on Wednesday, August 8 at 7pm. 
I'd love to show you how to create these great projects!!

See you soon!
