Something from the Scrap Pile

From Adriel:

The other day I found a piece of Old Olive CS in our scrap bin that was already folded as a standard A2 size card and the front of it was stamped with some images from Fifth Avenue Floral. I must have been feeling adventurous because I decided to make the poor card into something...

Um... I'm not sure if I like it. The card may have been better off left uncompleted in the scrap pile. I don't know... when I picked it out of the scraps, it seemed to be screaming for someone to finish it. I just think I wasn't the right person to finish it. =D


Anyway, it was fun to play around with. I used my mom's sewing machine again and tried out
(by memory) a ribbon pleating tutorial I ran across awhile back. It also has a nice paper pleating tutorial along with it and you can find those HERE on Studio Calico's blog. I don't know if I followed their directions exactly, but I ended up with pleated ribbon and that was the point, so I was at least successful in that regard. =P

At least I tried something new and had some fun. And I enjoyed myself!

New Coupon Organizers

From Adriel:

We have been busy making some new coupon organizers for our shop. We made 4 new organizers and just finished up the last 2 yesterday. They are hot out of the studio and I'm loving these new organizers! We used the now-expired "Urban Oasis" from Stampin' Up! on these 2 organizers. So sad to see that paper go... it's so trendy!

I just love the look of these new organizers! So trendy and stylish! Aren't they awesome?! Every time we make a new one of these, I like them a lot! =)

The top organizer is currently available in our Etsy shop... You can find it HERE. The other organizers will be available shortly... we will be adding them over the next few days. =)

I'll be posting the other 2 coupon organizers another time. =)

Thanks so much for stopping by our blog today! =D
