Witches Boots

I saw the inspiration for this project on SU's FB page but now I can't find it as so many wonderful people post comments and ideas on there! The legs are the 1 x 8 cello bags from the holiday mini and the boots are made with the stocking punch (and a circle punch)!:)

I had originally taken a picture of it hanging in my house, but the detail didn't show up as well, so I sat it down on my workspace and retook the picture with the white background so oyou could see in case you wanted to make your own.

BTW instead of filling these with gumballs or jelly beans as some are doing, these are filled with score bites...yum! They fit perfectly:)

Recipe (all SU):

Cardstock - rich razzleberry, basic black

Ink - black

Dies - top note

Punches - stocking, 3/4 inch circle (and one circle smaller...punch doesn't say it's size), boho blossoms & word window

Ribbon - rich razzleberry taffeta

Tools - simply scored for rosetta

Embossing folder - snowburst

Embellishments - rhinestone jewels

Peek-a-boo frame treats

I made these little treats for the ladies at yesterday's class using the 1 x 8 cello bags in the holiday mini and the new peek-a-boo frames die for the big shot (also in the holiday mini). Stamps used were from the tiny tags set:) Carstock was in elegant eggplant and black.

Beau Chateau Project

A few weeks ago I posted this preview of the Beau Chateau class which I held yesterday. I remember saying it was a BIG one so we would keep it for a Saturday rather than a Thursday evening and we would start a half an hour early...well all in all it was a 5 hour class but everyone left with their project complete and smiles on their faces.

So I thought I'd share a few more pictures of the project to hopefully inspire you to make your own. This project was inspired by the Beau Chateau Suite in the current Idea Book & Catalog and my new Simply Scored tool...oh my, how easy it makes it to make boxes! Also I have seen these flowers on several blogs out there, so I sat down to figure them out one day and I love them! I used the medium (5 for the pink flower) and large (5 for the blue flower) flowers from the fun flowers die.

Recipe (all SU):

Stamps - elements of style and notably ornate

DSP - beau chateau

Cardstock - marina mist, early espresso, pretty in pink & very vanilla

Ink - early espresso, marina mist

Ribbon - very vanilla satin, chocolate striped grosgrain (which is now retired, but some of us also used the marina mist grosgrain and they were adorable too, but we used the chocolate satin ribbon to coordinate with this one), marina mist scallop dots ribbon (on some of the cards inside)

Punches - round tab, modern label & 1 " circle

Embellishments - antique brads & designer buttons

Other - spritzer tool
