ho ho ho!

A Of all of the items that I made for the RCS PTO Holiday Bazaar, this has got to be my favorite! It's the swirls on Santa's beard that just puts it over the top for me. So super cute! It is hinged with a brad so that it swings open to reveal a gift card.

Gift cards are such a practical gift to give at the holidays. Putting one into a handmade holder makes it feel personal too! I've got a dozen of them made up to sell at the RCS PTO Holiday Bazaar. Hope to see you there on November 8th between 10:00 and 3:00 at the RCS Middle School!

Happy stamping!

Custom order Halloween

I love opening Facebook and finding a message from someone looking for a custom order card! Now, multiply that by six, and you can imagine my excitement! 

There is something so satisfying in meeting a need; creating the perfect little piece of art; making someone's day. 

And when I work with a customer on a custom order, all of those things happen!

My friend needed a bunch of not-so-scary Halloween cards. No witches, ghosts, or ghouls. So I went with pumpkins and adorable owls. 

Aren't they just precious? 

Lots of paper piecing can be a bit tedious (especially those eensy, weeny, tiny black pupils on those owls!), but the results are phenomenal! 

I'm certain that the children receiving these cards will love them just as much as I do!

Happy stamping!
