Installment #7 of Digital Scrapbook Pages

Four more pages from the photo book. I hope you like them all. They were super fun to make. I also loved that I could print multiple of copies of the book. I just switched out a few photos to be more relevant to the recipient.

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.

September Stamp Camp Samples Day #2

Here are the next three samples from the September Stamp Camp. This first card is done with the Beary Best Friends and Beary Nice Wishes stamp sets. These sets are a result of the new partnership SU has with Build-a-bear. These items, along with others, were introduced in the Holiday Mini. The designer paper is Pawsitively Perfect, also from the Build-a-Bear line. The bear image was stamped 2 times, once on Confetti White and once on the designer paper. We cut out the designer dress and placed it over the white one. This is called Paper Piecing. The squiggles are freehand doodles. The clip on the top is a 1/2" Library Clip.

This next project is a super cute Pumpkin Box. I cased the idea from Inking Idaho, however I change the box piece of the pattern to make the box bigger. Plus we made ours Jack-O-Lanterns. The actual pumpkin parts are made by layering 5 Wide Oval punches together.
The last card for today is another Thanksgiving Card. We used the Autumn Days stamp set. When I first saw this set I wasn't sure I liked it. However I have found is to fabulous and easy to work with. The EnFrancais background striped was cased from on SCS. The bird is inked in Crushed Curry and then we used Dusty Durango and Chocolate Chip markers to add color to it. The sponge was first done in Close to Cocoa and then Durango.

Check again tomorrow for 3 more Stamp Camp Samples.

September Stamp Camp Projects

Here are the first 3 of 12 projects we did at my stamp camp last month. Check back tomorrow for the next 3.

I love the new Shimmer Paint that is in the Holiday Mini catalog. This first card utilizes the Frost White Shimmer Paint. We inked up the Delightful Decorations stamps with Old Olive and Real Red, then we dabbed the shimmer paint on the inked stamp with a Sponge Dauber. This mixed the ink with the paint. Then the images were stamped and punched out with the new Ornament Punch. LOVE this stamp set/Punch Combo!!! The paper used is the Christmas Cocoa from the Holiday Mini. The ribbon is from the Mistletoe Ribbon Originals also in the mini.

This Halloween Treat is done with the Sweet Centers and Treat Cups from the Holiday Mini. These cups are so cute and easy to use. I found this project on Inking Idaho's blog. She came up with the idea to create a slider so that you can get the treats in and out of the card with ease.

Inside, and Inside with Slider Open
The last project for today is a card that we did for Thanksgiving using the Falling Leaves Stamp set. The colors used were Ruby Red, More Mustard, Always Artichoke, and Soft Suede. The background stamp used was Sanded.

See you tomorrow with 3 more Stamp Camp Samples.

Fun Find

I saw these lollipops at a local store and thought they were cute. When I got home I realized they are nearly identical in size to the pirate skull in the Pirate Time stamp set. So I stamped the two pirate hats, cut them out and glued them to the front of the lollipop packaging. Super Simple!!

Check back tomorrow. I have my September Stamp Camp samples ready to post.

September Stamp Club Projects

Here are the three projects we are doing for club tonight. The first is a Christmas card using Snow Swirled. This set has grown on me. It's on sale until Sept 30th, so I wanted to use it before it went off sale. This card uses Baja Breeze, Whisper White and Brushed Gold Cardstock. The Background is the Faux Silk Technique. The tree is embossed with Gold embossing powder- again mixed with Dazzling Diamonds (can you tell I like this combo). The ribbon is white taffeta.
This second card is done with the Bella Rose Designer paper, Riding Hood Red, Whisper White & Kiwi Kiss cardstocks. The words are inked in Kiwi Kiss and then the "Love" is colored over the kiwi ink with Real Red marker. The ribbon is the Riding Hood Red striped ribbon. The flower is done with half scallops that have the ends glued together, then the petals are adhered in a circle using a Pop-Up Glue Dot to secure. The center of the flower is a Build a Brad, though I snipped off the tines of the brad and secured with a Glue Dot.The last project we did is a treat package designed for Halloween. These are all the rage on-line these days, so I thought I would throw my hat in the ring here. The tag is simple, stamp the Batty For You image in black and them punch out the center. Stamp it again on Old Olive, punch it out and layer the pieces together. The hanger is the done with the Word Window Punch out folded in half and secured on both sides of the scallop. The witches broom is done with two brown paper lunch bags. The first bag is cut into narrow slits all the way around to the base rectangle area. I then layered an un-cut bag into the center of the slit bag. I gathered up the ends and trimmed them a bit. (You can leave it, but the "stick" part I used was too short, so I trimmed). Then, add slits to the inside bag about 1-2" from the top all the ways around. Gather the slits together and wind some Black Hemp around the bag top while securing a Pretzel rod into the center. Tie on your tag and finish winding and tie off the hemp. Super easy project. Probably a good one for kids who are able to use scissors safely (not mine yet).
