Flourishes Sneak Peeks.... day 2!

How many times have you searched and wanted just the right touch for a package or gift? You knew you wanted a fancy element, but after searching your stamp room, you came up empty handed.

Today's sneak peek from Flourishes has you in mind! This fanciful set from Lauren Pope is sure to give all your gifts and homemade creations a dash of elegance!

Introducing.........

This set full of tag elements, sentiments and frames is perfect for gift giving. Some of them, as you can see in the sneak peek above have been created to fit some of Spellbinders most popular Nestabilities dies like Labels 2, Labels 3, and Labels 4!

Now, to my creation! It really is as easy as a label and a tag! I'll even have a recipe and pattern for you with this one! I was surfing the other day and found some fun recipes for home made spa gifts and thought -- why not?After making some Lilac scented body scrub, some rose shaped Shea Butter soap (this is so easy if you've never made soap before - just melt a soap brick and pour into a mold!) and a cotton spa cloth, my gift needed a fun tag and label!

So, I used the soon-to-be released Fancy Labels to frame my label after printing off the text on my home computer. Like I said, I love how elements of this set fit perfectly inside the shapes created by a handful of the Spellbinders Nestabilities! I used Labels 4 for my creation! I used Violet Mist ink from Vivid!

And, here's the tag I made for my homemade knit spa cloth!

Just as easy as pie to give a classy look to your homemade creations! Now for a few recipes!

HOMEMADE BODY SCRUB
1 c. Epsom salts or Cane Sugar
1/2 c. of carrier oil: Sunflower, Olive, Grape seed or Almond Oil
8 drops of essential oil or fragrance
Decorative jar
Optional: food coloring

DIRECTIONS

To make the scrub all you need to do is stir your salts or sugar with your oil and mix well. Add the essential oil, one drop at a time. Add food coloring, stirring until you achieve an even color. The next part is bottling and packaging it up!

SPA WASHCLOTH
For you knitters out there, this spa cloth couldn't be any easier! I used some orchid colored cotton (Cascade Yarns) and did a broken rib stitch - CO 29; K3, P1 to the last stitch, K1.
Continue this pattern on every row until your project is the size you wish. Bind off. This pattern was from hometown knitter Kim Haesemeyer.

That's it my friends! The Senior Design Team and some of our Friends of FLourishes have let their creativity flow and has some fun samples! So... stop on over and see what these ladies cooked up!
