These are the gifts I made for my friend Danielle. Her Birthday was a couple of days ago so I didn't want to post this until she was able to open it.

I have an altered altoid tin with 4 mini cards, tumbled tile coasters, an altered Frapacino jar filled with hershey nuggets, a domino ornament, an altered photo cube, a pop top can filled with hershey nuggets and a bunch of punched flowers, a cork board and post-it notes with a beaded pen.
Danielle, I hope you enjoy your gift. Thank you so much for being such a great friend!

September Stampers 6 Projects

The projects for this months stampers 6 meeting were christmas ornaments. We made one using the clear glass balls from Michaels and another using dominoes. The ladies all loved them and they tured out so cute.

Here's how to make these adorable ornaments:

Supplies: Clear glass ornaments, Re-inkers, Glitter (use Stampin' Up! Dazzling Diamonds here), water, rubber gloves, 2 dixie cups
Put rubber gloves on
Step 1: Carefully remove the top from the ornament
Step 2: Put 1-2 drops of water in ornament
Step 3: Put 25 drops of re-inker in ornaments
Step 4: Place finger over opening of ornament, carefully shake until inside is covered with ink
Step 5: Tip ornament upside down over dixie cup, let excess ink drain out. This takes approx 5-10 minutes
Step 6: Pour 1/2 -1 tablespoon glitter inside ornament, place finger over top and shake to coat inside
Step 7: Carefully turn ornament upside down over clean dixie cup. Tap sides to remove any excess glitter (save glitter for other projects).
Step 8: Let ornament dry overnight, replace topper, your ornament is finished.
