Hello!  Today is my sister's birthday, and I wanted to share with you what I made for her.  I purchased the Burlap and Blooms Wreath Kit through Stampin' Up! and put it together last week.  It's so beautiful, I want to hang it on my door!  I hope she will like it, she really likes burlap.  It is such a pretty, spring-y wreath.  It will definitely get her in the mood for spring!  I love the colors and all the different types of flowers.  It truly is a gorgeous wreath!  You can order yours today in my online store here.  It's only $17.95, and it's a fun project.   It'll be no surprise to you that I want to keep it for myself, but I'm happy to give it to my sister for her birthday.  I'm excited to see if she'll like it!

Thanks for stopping by today, and I'll see you tomorrow!  I can't believe it'll be April tomorrow!  Crazy!  Have a great day!

Burlap and Blooms Wreath

Hello! I love the new Burlap and Blooms wreath kit from Stampin' Up!'s Occasions catalog, and I saw this great post the other day on the Stampin' Up! website.  I LOVE, LOVE, LOVE what they did with the supplies instead of make a wreath!!!!!  Such a pretty idea!  I think I'll be casing this soon….

BURLAP AND BLOOMS

I love the Burlap and Blooms Wreath! The colors make me so happy and I am so excited to display mine in my home.  I love it so much that I would like to share with you an alternate use for the kit. Sara Douglass came up with this idea and shared it with the demonstrators at Stampin’ Up!’s European convention!



Instead of using the Burlap Ribbon and flowers to decorate the wreath, we decorated a package of Tag a Bag Gift Bags and a package of Kraft Gift Boxes!

We stapled the burlap ribbon onto the gift bags and used hot glue to adhere the bellybands and flowers to the boxes. 

This way you can share the pretty flowers with more friends and family . . . and it’s bound to brighten up anyone’s day!

Now I'm off to buy two of those kits!  :)  Visit my online store to purchase your kits today.  www.williamsali.stampinup.net      Thanks for stopping by today.  I hope you got some great ideas.  I'll see you tomorrow!

Gently Falling Card #1

Good morning!  Thanks for stopping by to see more of my cards from the card holder I showed yesterday.  I really love this project I made designed by my friend Mayra.  It's a card holder that holds 4 cards and 4 envelopes to give as a gift to someone.  Such a beautiful gift!  I'd love to be the recipient of something such as this, what about you?

 The cards are absolutely stunning!  Each and every one of them are elegant and beautiful.  I might have a hard time giving these cards away!  Here's the first of four cards I made to go in the card holder.  You'll have to stop by tomorrow and keep coming back to see all of them!  :)

I used the wood grain embossing folder on the larger piece of very vanilla card stock to add some texture and dimension, and the 'twine' is strings from Stampin' Up!'s burlap ribbon.  You cut the finished sides off the ribbon and 'fray' it to get individual strings.  I tied it around some paper from the Thankful tablescape place setting kit and stamped a leaf from the Gently Falling stamp set.  The greeting is from the Lacy and Lovely stamp set.  Check back again tomorrow for some more of this set!
