Patty's Leadership Samples - part 2

I just love all the little decorative strips and flowers that come with the EGGCELLENT EGGS KIT in the Occasions Mini Catalog.... they are fun to add to cards!!

Egg kit 3x3 cards 2

This was my favorite... I embossed the background with the new Perfect Polka Dots Embossing Folder (pg 35 Occasions mini catalog) and then lightly sponged blue ink to highlight the raised dots and simulate sky.  I added our new YUMMY pink corduroy buttons for flower centers... the GRASS is one of the decorative printed strips in the EGGCELLENT EGGS kit.  The flowers and leaves come in the kit also,... I drew the stems.

Egg kit 3x3 2

The EGGCELLENT EGGS kit also comes with adhesive backed rhinestones... I added a strip on this card and to the center of the flower, too.

Can you see the Rub-Ons on the card above and below?  The kit also comes with RUB-ONs... this kit is such a GREAT VALUE for only $9.95!!!

Patty's Leadership Samples - part 1

I am VERY excited about demonstrating several new products at our Stampin' Up! Leadership Conference this week!

The kits from the OCCASIONS MINI CATALOG that I will be demonstrating are:

  • EGGCELLENT EGGS, pg 23, item 117179
  • LOVE BOTS, pg 17, item 118081 & 118080
  • RECIPES BY DESIGN, pg 8, item 116772

Here are a couple projects that I made with the EGGCELLENT EGGS kit supplies...as you can see, I've found several ways to use the kit that don't even involve eggs!  :)

Egg kit birdhouses

The die cut flowers and the printed decorative strips come in the Eggcellent eggs kit. The bird and branch are from the new Bird Punch (pg 10 Occasions mini catalog).

Here are samples of the egg kit flowers and strips that come in the kit.. you can also view them in the Occasions Mini, pg 23):

Egg kit flowers Egg kit strips

Thanks to Jan Wakeland for this idea.. punch a hole in your Milk Carton die to create a darling birdhouse!  The "roof" is a 2"x4" piece of cardstock, layered with the decorative strips.

Birdhouse pattern

The EGGCELLENT EGGS kit also comes with adorable Rub-ons... i used them here on our cello bags and our new GLASSINE Bag (pg 19).
