August Post

I wanted to post some pictures of my most recent creations. As I said in my last post, I made some favors for the last class that I did with Alison back in June. My new version of the wedding favors created by Judith Bassem of Creativa Bassem. I posted a picture of her version in my previous blog post. I was so inspired by this project, that I thought I would recreate it. I love the colors bashful blue and chocolate chip together, so I used that combination for my tea favor. I took the project to the Philly Inker's quarterly brunch.

Just like Judith, I used Stampin' Up's stampin' round wheel called Baroque Border with chocolate chip ribbon. A list of my Stampin' Up supplies are below:

Bashful Blue paper

Chocolate Chip Paper

Chocolate Chip Stampin' Round ink cartridge

Chocolate Chip Ink Pad

Stamps:

Sincere Salutations

Simple Delights

Stampin' Round standard wheel Baroque Border

Tools:

Stampin' Round Standard Wheel

Scallop Punch

1/16 hole punch

Corner Rounder

Paper trimmer with scoring blade

Accessories:

Vintage Brads

Chocolate Chip Grosgrain Ribbon

I added a score line down the middle of the favor so that I could fold the favor flat. It sounds like a lot of supplies, but these are really easy to make. I appreciate Judith's post that encourages you to wheel the WHOLE sheet of paper, BEFORE you cut it up. That's a great idea. I'm including another picture of both of the projects that I created for our Summer Gifts Class in June.

I really enjoyed making the tin! I love these tins. I covered them with designer series paper (a pattern that house now retired), bashful blue paper, and silver hodge podge hardware, which is in the new Stampin' Up Idea Book and Catalog.

I also covered a coordinating little book to fit

inside the tin. I'm not sure why I didn't take

a picture of the little book, but it seemed the class like the project, though it took a long time. This tin is covered on the inside as well and the bottom as well, which is pretty, but takes a lot of time. For the class, I instructed them not to cover the bottom, it didn't add a lot to the project.
