As the school years ends (hooray for summer!) I'll be posting some ideas on fun gifts, easy gift card holders and matching cards... so great to say thank you to all the teachers, support staff and others who do so much extra all year long.
Ok .. who doesn't love coffee, hot chocolate or cold drinks from your favorite coffee spot?
You can make these into a Dunkin Donuts, Starbucks, Tim Horton or other themes!
Sometimes it's hard to see size in photos.. so I've propped up a gift card so you can see the size (super cute mini size:)
You can fill these cups with candy, chocolate and marshmellows... and then why not insert a gift card along the edge... a fun easy personal gift to say thank you to anyone.
We have 2 classes for the coffee cups (and there are 2 other projects along with this coffee set).
The classes will use these thinlets so you can use hello, or thanks, or happy (and add birthday)
Tuesday May 16 at Warsaw 6-730pm and Sunday May 21 in Hartland. Classes are nearly full... so please RSVP and if we need to I can add an extra class!
Happy crafting MaryKate

Final post on the Audrey and the PP April 17 cards
Here's the cute bag and cards we made on Saturday at class. The third card is on the post below (I used it for a thank you for Lori!) I just love the matching envelopes with that pop of lemon-lime twist!
The bag is designed by Becky Roberts so let me if you want the details on how/where to buy the pattern (I'm allowed to teach but not share the pattern or written instructions).
Fun times... our next classes are in May (work travels and some vacation with Charlie for me in early May!). Check the tab on Events and Workshops!
I'll put in an order on May 2nd if anyone wants to join me and share the shipping costs and share in the free hostess goodies :) Let me know!! And don't forget, if want anything on the retiring list, get it fast, already I've sent 2 emails today saying "sorry... it's been sold".. I hate to send these note!

Thank you Lori - you are an amazing Robotics teacher
Teachers do a lot outside the classroom (I know that's not news!).
Our own crafter Lori, teacher at Warsaw, coach of the Robotics team for grades 5-8, is taking them to a State competition. Super impressive they are at this level!!
So we (our SipCraftCare crafters) raised the money to send her team to the competition.. what a great cause to raise money for!! Good luck Robotics team!!!
Thank you Lori for all you do.
Like the card? We all did too.. we each made 3 different "You're the Best" cards at class on Saturday and paired it with an "Audrey" handbag.

Color Challenge Beautiful You
We have a weekly challenge.. either colors (and you can make anything) or a sketch. This week was fabulous as I love Melon Mambo and Basic Black
And I had to use the Beautiful You set.. so happy it's in the new catalog!
I stamped her out and then stamped again on the designer paper, and cut out her dress and hat. And with a little piece left over, I thought I'd decorate the envelope. Super simple but I love it! I used our notecards (3 1/2 x 5) with the mambo layer cut at 3 1/4 x 4 3/4 and the card at 3 x 4 1/2.
Don't forget ... lots of things are retiring and on sale, so check out the store!

The Fruit Crate - no die required
A
crate to hold fruit (or fruit flavored candy!)
There’s a
photo of a fruit crate in the annual catalog on page 127 which I copied! And in the new catalog there's a cute die to make a small crate - but here's the how to (no die needed!)
The crate
is 8 ½ x 3 scored at 2 ¼ from each end, punch the ends with the Classic Label Punch. I cut
it all out and used the wood stamp from Timeless Textures all over the crate
and crate pieces.
For the
crate side pieces I
cut a piece 4 x 5,
scored at ½ from each side (the 5” side) and stamped,
added 2 strips of sticky strip
and then cut it into 4 1” strips for the
sides of the crate. You can sponge the edges
of your crate pieces if
you wish. I added
a piece of the fruit designer paper (2 ¾ square on top of a doily).
I
used a medium cello bag and
put a piece of thick whisper white cut 2 ¾ x 2 at the bottom of the cello bag
to keep it flat. I then filled it with
red skittles. With a
solid cardstock (I used Emerald Envy cut 3
x 2 ½
folded in half) I covered the opening, stapled it closed and then put the top
piece of designer paper cut 2 ¾ x 1 on the Emerald Envy.
The card 3 ½ x
5 has the matching designer paper layered on
top of Emerald Envy (3 ¼ x 4 3/4) on a notecard
with DSP 3 x 4 x ½ My
mom doesn’t like words on the outside… so I put them on the inside!

A bow maker - thank you Joe P
At our last class I demonstrated how this gadget makes pretty bows, every time, super easy!
You simply wrap the ribbon around the dowels, tie a knot and it's a bow. I'll take photos of how to, but it's easy!
Joe P has made us each one (and he and I wondered if you might like to buy and it donate the $5 price to our Warsaw Robotics Team Challenge)?
I'll make some instruction sheets and I'll demonstrate this at class April 11 at Warsaw. Thank you Joe P. We appreciate you!!

Onstage Swap - an updated LL Bean Bag and High Tide Lighthouse Card
Twice a year our stamping team gets together to see the new product line, get training, ideas for classes and to have a great time together.
A big part of getting together is swapping. This event there are just 10 of meetings so we made our swap a little more interesting and the task was to make a card and 3D matching set. And I figured it had to say something about the stamper.
So I made an updated LL Bean Bag and a High Tide Lighthouse card that I hope looks like the West Quoddy Lighthouse - the most eastern part of the US and of course it's in Maine. And since we are meeting in San Diego I really felt I had to bring something "Maine" with me. (I hope I win the award for the person who travels the farthest!)
Here's a close up of the card with a little rhinestone for the lighthouse light.
I'll be having a class Saturday April 15 in Hartland where we will make the bag, this card, another lighthouse card and we'll stamp on tiles. We're nearly full so if you'd like a place, let me know. You must RSVP as I cut cardstock, order time and supplies.
I'll post instructions for the bag after class on April 15 -- and I'll be posting photos of all the items I receive in the swap.

There is nothing like getting real mail... especially when it's such a pretty handmade card and with a thoughtful note.
Betty thank you so much for this pretty card... you really made my day! I love crafting with you!
And... if you love the Jars set (and who doesn't), we are using this set in April and May with some fun new projects... here's a sneak peek (designed by Becky Roberts), combining a gift and a card!
And some other Jar of Love projects that we have done.. (and yes this will be in next year's catalog, so happy!)
And I love that this set can be modern...
