We're selling out of quite a few things right now.  Here's a quick updated list:

And remember that you can get any of these items in my online shop!

Top Note Purse Gift Card Holder Video Tutorial

My first crack at a video tutorial came out ok.  I have a lot to fix next time about keeping my voice high enough, etc....  I wish I had a tripod that let me get over the shoulder shots. 

Anyway, this isn't a new idea.  Just makin' the top note purse in time for a Mother's Day gift card. ;)

 

And here is an updated version of the retiring accessories list.

The Decor Elements list is the same.  Everything is still available while supplies last.

The paper I used in the top note purse above is retiring so if you want that you need to head over to my store and get it now!

Apple Soap and Gift Tag

Y'all know I like apple soap from Bath and Body works!

With teacher appreciation week and the end of the year right around the corner, I thought I'd make one of these for a favorite educator. ;)

It was a cinch to whip up with the Two Tags die and my Sizzix Big Shot.  The red piece with the cute edge is an extra piece from the Matchbox Die (which is retiring ;(....)  and the lined paper is from Just Add Cake (also retiring) which I love to use for school related stuff.

I purposely kept the tag simple enough to be used for other things too, not just teachers. 

I adorned the sides of the punched pieces with those cute whtie flower buttons from the neutral designer buttons and threaded the cherry cobbler baker's twine through the holes. 

If you want the Matchbox Die or Just Add Cake paper you better get them now.  They're only available while supplies last!  (And I believe the paper is discounted right now too!).  Just head on over to my online store and get what you need while it's still available!

I also put an extra one of these in my Etsy shop if you need one like now!

 

Updated Retiring Accessories

Instead of putting the whole list here, I'll let you know, so far we're out of dotto.  We still have the refill but not the dispenser.

It appears to me that we still have all of our decor elements.  They haven't been sold out yet.

Retiring Definitely Decorative

Sorry I didn't post this in the last past with all the accessories.  I JUST realized it's in a different list.

Here's the downloadable file:

And you can get any of it in my online shop.

Retiring Stampin' Up! Accessories !!!

Ouch! 12 pages!

Things to know about this list:

-There are a lot of discounted items! Some up to 70%!!!!!  Some of the fabric is only $2.99!!!

-If there's an asterisk next to it (*) It's being reconfigured.  That means the combination and/or packaging is changing.

-For some reason the Designer Paper is in two sections.  Part of it is in one section and another part of the list is in the paper category.  It looks to me like it's all going.

-Remember that this is while supplies last or until May 31st only!  I'll post updated lists every morning if I can.

That said, here's today's list.  I have it downloadable. It's just too long to copy/paste.  But I also have some highlight following (AKA - some of my favorite deals).

Sweet deals!

I'm crying right now.  I LOVE the mini clothespins.  But at least they're 25% off!

These are my absolute FAVORITE scissors for trimming tight spaces in paper!

GREAT prices for these punches!

Those are the highlights today.  Remember that these are while supplies last so order what you want from my website today!

How About an Easy Coin Purse?

Another fabric project...that I made for my girls...this time not for Christmas. ;)

How little and cute!!!

And super fast!  I used the Big Shot and cut these out with the scallop envelope die.  Then put right sides together (yes I trimmed off the scallops.  Didn't want to do that sewing work!).  Stitch around leaving an opening on one side. Then turn right sides out, stitch closed. 

I hand stitched the sides together when I folded it up.  It was just a few stitches on each side. 

And since I used the Big Shot I took less than 20 minutes to make each one, start to finish, including sewing the snap and flowers on for the opening!

These are for my girls to take their tithe to church.  They do chores, and earn money for some of them.  We're teaching them to save, spend and give. 

Here's what I used:

-Twitterpated Fabric (from the Occassions Mini that expires at the end of this month!)

-Big Shot and Scallop Envelope Die

-Fleurettes

-thread, sewing maching, snaps.

You can get all of these right now in my online shop!

Fat Quarter Aprons

I made these for Christmas for my girls. I know, I've taken my time posting them. ;)

The pink one on my little O is a little large, but she's growing fast. ;)

The best part, they're reversible!

 
Pay absolutely no attention to the smudges all over the fridge. ;)

It's hard to see the buttons, but I layered a little white flower one onto a pink round one.

 

For some reason I can't find the pics I took of the flowered apron on both sides.

These were soooo easy to do.  Just cut two of our Stampin' Up! fabric oversize fat quarters in to squares, then place right sides together, tuck ribbon where you want straps, and sew all but a small section straight around all the edges.  Then turn it right side out and finish that one edge you haven't done yet.  I got them both done in less than 30 minutes! 

Here's what I used:

-Fabric - I used Flirtatious for one of them and Sprintime Vintage for the other

-Ribbon for straps - Marina Mist 1 1/4" striped grosgrain for the Springtime Vintage apron.  The other apron used a retired ribbon, but the Melon Mambo 1 1/4" striped grosgrain in our current catalog coordinates perfectly.

-buttons- I used several from the designer buttons collections

These are all availabe in my online shop, but the retiring accessories list comes out soon and I don't guarantee those will be around long.  You might want to go order yours now!
