Hawaiian Grand Vacation Pillow Gifts
Whether you are just coming from Kim Gavarra 's blog or just arriving here first...WELCOME!!
We just got back from Stampin' Up!'s Grand Vacation to Hawaii last week. One of my favorite parts of these Incentive Trips are the Pillow Gifts. Each night when you come back to your room, Stampin' Up! has placed a lovely gift on your pillow...hence Pillow Gifts!! We get awesome stuff!! We are so spoiled!!! So we are doing a blog hop inspired by a pillow gift...well I was inspired by two gifts ...couldn't decide....so here are my creations.
The first gift was a lovely quilted bag. This quilting is found all over Hawaii...so pretty. Quilting and flowers... what a great combination!!
 |
| Inspiration |
 |
| My Creation! I used Pacific Point Card stock and made a quilted pattern using the Stampin' Trimmer scoring blade. I highlighted the pattern with the tiniest of the Basic Pearls. The flower is made with White Filter Paper punched with the Scalloped Punches. Punch a hole in the center ,add a brad and scrunch it all up!! I used Wild Wasabi Seam Binding to make a couple of "leaves". A pretty, little any occasion card! My next inspiration came from a stamping pillow gift...we receive a new stamp set from Our Project Life Collection called This Is the Life!! I thought this set is perfect for a shaker card! I love a good shaker!!! And I received our brand new Brights Sequin Assortment and Everyday Chic DSP at our Hospitality Suite which is perfect for this project! So I went ahead and made a couple of shaker cards and a Tiny Treat Box with a shaker top. |

Bouquet Bigz Die Orchid Tutorial
As promised, here is my “tutorial” for making orchids from the Bouquet Bigz Die found in the Occasions catalog. I was in a bit of a hurry when I was making these …so please forgive the the “neatness” factor of my photos!!!
My glue gun went a little wild!! The end result is what counts…right?? So here goes….
 | ||||
| ||||
 |
| Add a drop of hot glue |
 |
| and connect split end to give dimension |
 |
| Do this to all five petals and cut a Melon Mambo flower center |
 |
| Then starting with the 3 small petals, connect them together..(wild glue gun!!) |
 |
| This is why I used hot glue....other adhesives pulled apart |
 |
| Add the 2 larger petals as shown |
 |
| (a little rough looking) |
 |
| Sponge some crushed curry in the center....because it is not smooth, it doesn't look to "pretty" yet! |
 |
| Fold the center into fourths |
 |
| Add to orchid center and when it is done they look lovely! |
Hawaii here we come!!!
until next time…..
