One Sunday night a month we have a Ladies Devotional Night. That is where we get together and of course have a devo. and eat and just socialize. This month I volunteered to help. For decortations on the tables, we try to make it look good ( fun or dainty). Our group wants to go with the carribean color theme but with a touch of Bible. So I made candles for the tables and then bookmarkers for everyone.
I used Close to My Heart stamp set “Come Unto Me” and also Stampin’ Up’s stamp set Baroque Motif to make both of these. They were easy and fun to make. This was the first time I tried altering a candle and it turned out good! Made the book marks to match. I made these Wednesday but didn’t get them on here due to my son getting sick.
Yesterday I had a chance to “play” in my craft room. Here are some things that I did.
This a cute little “bag” that holds 2×2 cards and envelopes. It was really easy to make. I used White Daisy, Holly Hock and Cocoa Card stock from Close to My Heart. I used the CTMH inks- Colonial white( for the suttle background on the white daisy cardstock), Holly Hock and Cocoa. Stamp sets were from Stampin’ Up. They were Baroque Motif and Think Happy Thoughts. I also used Stampin’ Up’s punches- scalloped circle and Boho flowers.
This is called a Box in a Bag. It was different but cool. I used 2 companies supplies again, same as above. CTMH supplies are as follows: Pansy Purple, Garden Green and White daisy cardstock. SU supplies are as follows: Baroque Motif stamp set , Boho Flowers punch and Tab punch. To make this scallop at the bottom I used Creative Memories wavy cutter( don’t remember the correct name). This would be great for so many gift ideas!
Well, that is all I have done at this moment in time. Not only is my son sick but now my husband and I think me too! Gonna be a great week. Hopefully my daughter won’t get sick but she probably will. Pray for us!!!!
Have a great day and hopefully I sparked a little bit of creativity in you. If you want directions on any of these items, just leave me a comment with your email address and I will send it to you. Thanks!
