Celebrate MOM!

Celebrate MOM with a handmade and heartfelt gift...

These adorable milk cartons measure 1-1/2" wide by 3-1/4" tall. The perfect size for mom's favorite chocolates and best of all...jewelry!

Make your own embellishments with some ribbon & thread! This ribbon flower was simply made with 5/8" organza ribbon with a satin edge. Simply stitch along one edge of the ribbon, pull your thread tight to gather and form ribbon flower. Tie off and attach brad or button to the center.

Using the same ribbon, run your stitches in the center and pull to gather to use as trim around the milk carton holder. The matching milk carton holder is also simple to make, and can be adjusted to hold 2 or 4 mini milk cartons.

Lastly, take out your embossing folders and add a touch of design to the paper, embellishing with another of mom's favorites - pearls!

This project can be adjusted, simply by changing colors and embellishments for any occasion....wedding, graduation party, birthday and more! Join us for a class to learn how!

Gift Card Holders

A few weeks ago here at the Cove, we held a gift card holder class that taught how to make 3 different styles of gift cards. These are quick and easy, a great way to use smaller scraps while making a BIG impression.

The first one is an elegant pop-out card utilizing the cuttlebug combo butterfly set which will cut and emboss in two easy steps. Love this die & embossing folder. You get 3 different embossing styles to choose from.



















Next is a masculine faux leather gift card which utilizes both wet and dry embossing techniques. You'll also learn how to make your own custom sized envelope for this gift card using Martha Stewart's scoreboard.



















And last, but not least, is the matchbook gift card holder using some Kaisercraft rub-ons and dp from their Utopia line.



















We'll be repeating this class throughout the month of August & September. You can check out the calendar of classes for dates & times. Reserve your seat today and gear up for the holidays.

Designer Bags

Get yourself a designer bag without breaking the bank....

Had a fun day with the girls today teaching them how to make these designer knock-offs! They look good in any color or pattern. These adorable bags were designed by Becky Roberts, she has a set of 3 designer bag tutorials for sale on her site, go check it out! She does amazing work!! Thanks so much Becky for all your inspiration, love your blog!!

We used the L.A.M.B. inspired handbag to make these "Louis". We will be offering this handbag, along with 2 others as classes in August. I will be updating the calendar soon for the dates & times.

Coaster Accordian Album Class

Sally was back teaching another great class filled with tips & techniques! This time, we got a chance to turn two plain 4x4 coasters into a fun mini accordion album.

The two coasters became the front & back cover of our album.








































The inside pages were created with white cardstock. We cut the cardstock down into two 3.75" x 12" strips. Scored the strips every 3.75", and then attached the two strips together which created 6 panels for us to decorate & add photos. Tip: If you are looking for more pages, simply cut and attach another 3.75" x 12" strip.



















After attaching the inside pages to the coaster covers, decorate & embellish to your hearts content!



































Each student received the same set of cardstock to decorate their accordion album. It was so fun to see everyone's style come through in their albums.


































We used some Marvy punches to add some journaling tags to the album.























































It was a great class! If you are interested in taking one of Sally's classes, please don't hesitate to contact me or view the schedule of classes. Sally usually teaches once a month here at Pineapple Cove. In addition, we have the coasters available for purchase in-store or online!
