His & Her Onsies

I saw these in a craft magazine and just had to make them: His & Her Onsies! Are these not the cutest thing? And way too easy using Stampin’ UP! Ribbon. The flower is actually on a pin back so it can be removed for washing. The Perfect use of Stampin’ UP! Ribbon for creating inexpensive but ONE OF KIND Baby Gifts.

We will also feature the Rolled Fabric Pin as a make n’take at our upcoming retreat – we still have 1,2 day spots available due to a few cancellations. Want to craft non stop for 3 days?

Stampin’ UP! Meets Home Decor

One of my favorite displays at our annual Stampin’ UP! Conventions are the mini rooms they create right before our eyes over the 3 days. These room  show case our product on walls, lamps, and so much more. Our Home Decor Elements Line is a great resource for home decor  as is our stencils. But check out the cute lamp to see our ribbons and buttons in use and of course our new fabric is featured in curtains, fabric ornaments and more.

Red Kitchen – I have been meaning to return to red in my kitchen – when I first got married all my kitchen items were red – ala german/scandanavian feel. This might just be the push I needed. The checks are actually squares of our real red vinyl decor. The curtains are made from one of our soon to be released fabric packs as is the bib, tree skirt and decorations on the silver tinsel tree.

Blue Room – this room features a full wall stenciled with our stencils, a great touch with just a single stencil peaking out behind the mirror, the darling lamp I was telling you about (just bought 2 lampshades this week to duplicate this ) and a great stenciled memo board with paper & ribbon bow.
     

Mustard Room – this room features Decor Elements on the wall and some of our great new chalkboard organaizers – to do list, calendars, menu’s and more. Love the little touches like the tags on the baskets under the bench featuring newsprint DSP and our chalkboard labels.
  

Vintage Christmas – I love the way stencils are used to create a “frame for a frame” in this room completed with decorated tree and stenciled packages.Ornaments on the three feature our soon to be released fabric, big shot snowflakes covered with soon to be released glass glitter, and more if you look closely.
