A Touch From the Heart

Fancy Flourish....Patti Style

For Christmas, my sweet husband, Dennis, bought me an awesome new filing cabinet for my Stampin' Studio. 

The top two drawers have one folder for each Stampin' Up! cardstock color.  This is where I store my scraps.

The bottom drawer holds my business supplies (extra order forms, invitations, recruit brochures, etc......)

As much as I loved the filing cabinet (after he put it together), it needed a little something.

Well, Decor Elements to the rescue.  I purchased the flourish in chocolate.  It was so easy to apply......just use the applicator tool.

Ordinary filing cabinet?  NOPE!!!  Now, with the fancy flourishes, it's perfectly Patti-style!!!!!

Decor Elements are a fabulous way to transform ordinary items into extraordinary one of a kind pieces!!!!

Decking the Halls

This week's Blogger's Challenge is to create an ornament or decoration.  I chose the latter.

Now, I won't put these decorated blocks up yet.  I will save them for after Christmas.  I decorate with all my snowmen and snow-related decorations in January.  I can't just go cold turkey and have my house all un-decorated after Christmas.  It looks so ordinary.

These blocks were so easy to decorate.  They can be found in the Holiday Mini catalog.  They are not cardboard like others out on the market.  They are made with a MDF natural wood material.  Very durable.

Each side measures 3" x 3".  So, I cut my Christmas Cocoa DSP into squares and adhered to the blocks using my Stampin' Up! glue sticks.  Once I had all the DSP on, I used the Chocolate Chip Holiday Mix Decor Elements for the letters.  So easy to apply!!!

Now it's time to add some embellishments to each block.

For those blocks with the punched snowflakes (Snowflake Punch and Boho Blossom Punch with the Christmas Punch stamp set),  I added a clear rhinestone in the center of each snowflake (removed from Circle Rhinestone brads).

The other blocks have Soft Suede Polka Dot Grosgrain ribbon tied into a classic knot.

I am very pleased with how they came out.  I will post a pic of these blocks with all my other wintry decorations.  I bet it will look fabulous!!!

I wonder what the other stampers came up with.  Click on the Blogger's Challenge icon on the right sidebar of my blog to check them out with me.

Until tomorrow....Happy Stamping everyone!!!

There's still time to order your supplies to make these Snow blocks.  If you don't have a demonstrator, you can order these supplies online at my demonstrator website.
