A Hostess Gift for Today

If you are reading this around the time I have this post scheduled to post on line, I will be at a Stampin’Up! workshop for a wonderful hostess of mine. Her name is Shannon and she has been having SU parties with me for quite a few years now. She always does such a great job. Sends out her invitations, calls ahead to see who is coming and usually calls me before I can even call her to get a number count. She’s one of the best. I am very blessed to have such great hostesses. Want to be one of my great hostesses? Call me and we can set a date for your workshop and don’t forget Sale-a-bration is a great time to host a workshop. SAB runs now through March 31, 2010. For more info view the SAB catalog on the right side of my blog.

I love to make things for my hostesses and this is what Shannon will be receiving. That’s why I had to wait until her party was started to post so as to not ruin the surprise. I used the Thoroughly Modern SU file folders sold on page 169 of the SU catalog. You get 12 folders for $10.95. These folders are heavy weight and have a wonderful smooth finish to them. As you can see from the inside picture it was scored and folded to create the pocket and a small portion was cut off as well. If you need the directions please email me and I’ll do my best to explain them. It really was rather simple. I used Velcro for the closure, the Beautiful Wings Big Shot Embosslits Die to make the butterflies, Bermuda Bay ribbon and then to personalize it I made a clear label using my regular Dymo label maker and clear tape. I really hope she likes it.

Here’s to a great Saturday,

Renee
