Excited About the Bird!

I'm so excited that SU! came out with this versatile bird punch! I've had the punch for a couple of months now and it has been the most well-used punch in my collection - which is actually quick remarkable for those of you that have been in my craft room and have witnessed, first-hand, my addiction to punches (lol)!!!

This sample was created for a friend of mine who's son is getting his sacrament of Communion next month. I was helping her come up with ideas for her invitations and favors. I'll show you the favor idea once I've completed it!

The invitation uses the stamp set "Refuge & Strength", and the Extra Large Two-Step Bird Punch found in the Occasions Mini! I also wanted to have something on the invitation that referenced the reason for the invite so I used the stamp image 'First Communion' from the stamp set "Special Blessing". I used a combination of Soft Suede, Certainly Celery and Very Vanilla for these invites.

Items from the Mini are only available until April 30th - don't wait, get yours now by emailing me at lisaburns@rogers.com!!

If you like the Two-Step Bird Punch shown below...you may want to check back tomorrow for a special class announcement for May!!

Invitation Sample #1

I was recently asked to make some Baby Shower invitations, which I was more than excited to do of course!!

I spent a lot of time mulling over different 'invite' ideas, but finally decided on a really cute & simple layout that I saw at a past SU! quarterly meeting. I believe the sample layout was originally created by Jodi Kutz! What made these invites so much fun to create was that I was able to make so many different variations of the same layout using different images from the Fox & Friends stamp set as well as different color combos.

If you have some invitations to create in the near future, I can help! I can help with ideas, or getting you the products/supplies you need or both! In many cases, you can save valuable $$ by making your own invitations for your upcoming events!!

Have a great night everyone! I'll be back over the weekend with some new club projects and more invitation samples!! Thanks for stopping by today!
