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.

Baby Shower Samples

Wow, I have been so busy. We were out and about most of the summer and then school, dance and soccer started. Things have been crazy. Did I mention that I sent my oldest off to her first day of Kindergarten. Sniff sniff, I am so proud of her!! Here are a few things that I did for a baby shower I hosted recently. Darn it, I didn't save a copy of the invitation to post. If I can find one I will post later. I will post my August Stamp Club samples in the next couple of days.

The colors for the baby shower were pink and brown, my favs. I use almost exclusive Stampin' Up! products generally. For these projects I went through all my scraps including some non SU stuff that I never use. It was nice to be able to use some stuff and make room for my new SU stuff.

This is a wreath I made and hung on the front door.

Here is a front and back picture of the diaper cake I made. The butterflies were made with the SU Exclusive Butterfly die in the Big Shot. The ribbon is the now retired Chocolate Chip satin ribbon and Pink Pirouette super wide grosgrain layered together. All the butterflies have 3 Pretties Kit Pearls in the center of them.

Lastly, I used my exclusive SU pennant die to make a, "It's a Girl" sign. At the party I flanked it with pink and chocolate balloons.

Catching Up

Wow, summer has been flying by. I have been so busy with the kids and all the fun things that go along with sunny weather that I haven't been stamping or posting. I am trying to catch up now. Here are a couple projects we did at my June stamp club meeting.

This card was done with the Branch Out Stamp set. I love this set. The great news is that it is still available, though the designer paper used is now retired. The colors used here are Certainly Celery, Regal Rose and So Saffron.

This card is done with one of my favorite sets- Pocket Silhouettes. I paired it with my favorite new label punch and Chit Chat Rub-ons. Each club member got to use the rub-on of choice. The ribbon is the Kraft Taffeta, a great neutral color.

This last project was from a butterfly box template from Qbee's Quest Blog (included in my blog list). I used my beloved Pink Pirouette cardstock and now retired Bella Bird paper. The smaller butterfly is from the Big Shot butterfly die. This box would make a great teacher gift, shower favor, co-worker treat etc. Fun and easy to make gotta love that!!
