July Workshop Update

It was another productive afternoon of crafting... Along with Bliss' Christmas themed tag wallet, she created several styles of post-it holders.  There seems to be infinite ways of cleverly concealing a pad of sticky notes!  Take a look...


Join us next month for baby themed cards.  More details to follow!

July Workshop: Christmas in July

"Christmas in July"

Nishida residence in Aiea
Kit Cost: $15
RSVP by July 9
bring your tape runner!

We'll be crafting a few Christmas themed projects for this month's workshop, including tags, gift card holders, and more...  I wanted to do something different, so I designed a few simple stationery sets (paper with matching envelopes).  During the Christmas season, you can never go wrong with extra stationery on hand!  Here's a peek at one of my samples...

Personalized Stationery

I've been tossing around the idea for a while now to create personalized stationery sets as birthday gifts for my high school friends.  (I was originally inspired by this CM blog post.)  I loved the look of the samples from the blog, so I decided to also use the Be Mine Valentine Digital Kit on Storybook Creator.  I played around with the different 12x12 papers and some cute embellishments to create this set for Malia...



I sent them away for printing and then placed a set of 10 (with envelopes) in an acetate box.  It adds that "store bought" finishing touch.



So happy to finally execute a fun and practical idea.  I'm thinking of taking special orders for the Christmas season... stay tuned!
