2nd January Club Meeting Samples

Here is the last set of January Club Samples. We used primarily items from the Occasions Mini and Sale-a-Bration Brochures.
This first project is a mini milk carton box. The best part is that the box is cut and scored from a new die in the Occasions Mini. The box is small enough that you can get two boxes from a single piece of cardstock.
This card is 99% copied from my up upline Julie P. It is simple and sweet. I only added the epoxy brad on the ribbon and used the new pink satin ribbon.
I wanted to use all the cute new valentine stuff, without making an actual valentine. I used the heartfelt thanks stamp to achieve this. I am so pleased that the embosslit heart layers perfectly with the full heart punch. I love the dots texture folder, it makes super deep impressions. The edge punch is adorable. It even has a matching corner punch, though I didn't use it in this project. Of course I used my favorite new Sending Love Designer paper. Time was short this month, so other than the greeting I fully cased this card from the Stampin' Connection.
This last card I also copied from the Stampin' Connection. I LOVED the colors and layout of this card. I also loved the use of the new Sweet Pea Designer Paper used in the background. The "F" is embossed on Rose Red cardstock and cut out.

September Stamp Projects Day #3

Round 3 of Stamp Camp Projects. The first card is a fun Halloween card that we did using the Pumpkin Patch set from the Holiday Mini. The center pumpkin is stamped on scrap paper and cut out. Stamp the bottom pumpkin, lay the cut out pumpkin where you expect to place it so that you can stamp the top pumpkin where you want it. Be sure to remove the cut pumpkin before you stamp the top pumpkin.

The second card we did is a very simple card using the Christmas Cocoa paper and Serene Snowflakes from the Holiday Mini. The white piece is stamped with snowflakes in Real Red. We used a Q Tip to dab a small dot of Frost White Shimmer Paint into the center of each snowflake. The red piece is the specialty designer paper. The Merry Christmas was punched out using the Wide Oval Punch and then layered on a red Tag created with the Tags Sizzlet die. The ribbon is from the Mistletoe Ribbon Originals.

This third project was done with the Treat Boxes that SU carries in the main catalog. We used the double stitched Real Red Riboon and Serene Snowflakes stamp set. The snowflake is stamped in Chocolate Chip and then sponged with Close to Cocoa. We embossed the entire piece of paper with Glassy Glaze two times to create a really thick glossy image. The greeting is from Teeny Tiny Wishes and then layered onto a red piece punched with the Modern Label punch.

Tomorrow I will post the last three Stamp Camp Samples.

Workshop Samples

Wow has it been a week already. Time is flying, and lately I can't seem to keep up. I took a quick break from my CK Convention preparations to do a home workshop for a customer. I don't do a lot outside of my home anymore, so it took a little extra prep time- since I haven't updated my customer folders (in over a year) and things like that. Anyway, we had a great time and I enjoyed getting out of the house. Here are the three projects we did. I keep things simple for workshops due to the variance of skill and experience levels I encounter. All the ladies seemed to enjoy the projects.

This first project was done with my favorite Crazy for Cupcakes set and Sweet Always Designer paper. This set is on sale this month, so it was the perfect excuse to pull it out. The cupcakes are colored and the tops are glittered. The ribbon is the Pink Taffeta tied in a knot and layered over a piece of Regal Rose cardstock that has been scalloped with the scallop edge punch.

This next card is a simple embossing card using Snow Swirled. I demoed how to emboss, but had the embossing already done for them, so all they had to do was punch. It was a great way to show how you can stamp and emboss a whole sheet of cardstock to save time. Saving time is a big factor for me when I am making large quantities of cards for things like Christmas. The only tough part of this card is tying those tiny bow with the silver cording.

The final project we did is these Sour Cream Containers. This pattern has been around forever, however it has been years since I have done. them. They each got a piece of Holiday Treasures Designer paper and adhere and crimped the end. We put Kisses inside, then finished the other side. The tag was super simple. We inked up the image and used a marker to change the color of the sentiment in the middle. Then we simply punched out our tag with the matching Curly Label punch from the set/punch bundle. We finished them off with the Alpine ribbon from the Holiday Mini Catalog.
