Jenifer needed a couple quick and easy teacher gifts for the first day of school.  This came together quickly and she made several in a few minutes.  She threw in a couple new pencils and some treats and the kids were off. These would be find for the upcoming holidays as well as you could write any message you like on the chalkboard tags.

I am excited to introduce Kim Stewart and her lovely artwork to you. Her first project is this sweet packaging set.

"I always like to keep a stash of little altered tags around for gifts and things. They are perfect for adding little hearts, some machine sewing, stickers, you can even stamp and paint them!  For this project I added a few altered tags and a flower all held together with a cute clothespin."

Kraft and Woodgrain Card with Jess Mutty

Today we have another amazing card to share, this one from DT Member Jess Mutty.

 Jess says: Sometimes I really just love the simplicity of a neutral color scheme. You can really make the most of textures with basic kraft and white.  Today's card has lots of rich layers of paper doilies, felt, seam binding, rosettes, and more.

The background is from an embossed kraft bag with parts of white paper doilies on top.  The flower is actually formed from eight book page hearts folded in half.  I also used some fab white banner stickers and cut a notch in some doubled up kraft tape for coordinating banners.

Embellished Berry Basket with Shellye McDaniel

Embellished Berry Basket
Curtsey Boutique Designer
Shellye McDaniel

 Shellye shares a wonderful project today showcasing our brand new pint pulp berry baskets. She even gives a few tips on how to recreate it.

1. Cut a piece of floral foam to fit into berry basket.  

2. Using 'fringe' scissors (or hand-cutting strips with regular scissors) cut strips from paper bags.  

3. Crush shreds with your hands and then apply to top of the floral foam (I used a quick-dry glue to the top of the foam before covering with shreds).  

4. Determine placement for your forks and then insert into the foam. 

5.  Change up the fork display with different photos, recipes or notes!
