Another Workshop! Yahoo!


Tonight I have a workshop for someone who really wants a Big Shot, so the 3-D item I planned is one based on the Big Shot, this cute little owl treat! Whooooo wouldn't think that's cute!




This is a card we are doing with the Handmade Holiday, funny story, I ordered the kit and made a mistake and put in the wrong code and received the kit in Spanish! If I had any friend who spoke Spanish as their language at home this holiday season I would be all set. The good news is that many of the images don't have any words on them and I have the stamp set that matches in English, so tt will work, but sometimes I need to stop and watch what I am doing!


We are doing this card upon request of the hostess so that her non-crafting guests might be able to purchase a simple project! Smart Hostess!



Finally this is a Crazy for Cupcakes Card we are doing to show off our scallop edge punch, the Crazy for Cupcakes Stamp Set and our awesome DSP!

A little something


I love a little something, this is a cute gift enclosure set. It includes the box, 4 gift enclosure cards with envelopes using the Haiku Designer Series Paper and the Pocket Silouttes stamp set. I made four of them and have been using them as prizes at my workshops.



This is the box close up.



Here is one of the cards close up. A little something with a Big Wow!

Cocktails Anyone?


If you can't tell I love this Banbury Designer Series Paper (DSP). I used my Big Shot for the Scallop Circles, the cocktails really fit in the largest circle punch we have so I had to find a bigger accent to put them on. I love how they turned out. I used the absolutely fabulous greeting set to finish these cool cards off!

Let's be Frank


Not my original idea, but I just love this guy! This is a gable box for Halloween goodies!



Here's a card version of Mr. Frankinstein, he is just too funny!

Swaps


I copied this swap from another blog, and so many bloggers are so very kind to link to the blog they copied from, but I don't know who. It's not my idea, it so someone else's I just executed it for a swap and love the colors and the technique. I swapped at the Sminks meeting this week.



I also made this swap with the Simple Birthday Thank You Cupcake, How cute is that! I used the Banbury DSP for the cupcake bottom and the cherry. I embossed the top to make it look more like frosting. I sponged on some Pink Pirouette to finish off the top. I love the Pink Pirouette matching ribbon, don't you?

Tammy's Workshop

Look what we made at Tammy's Take Three Workshop last night! You can host your own too! Please contact me today for more details and to get a date on the calendar!



Fun and Fast notes cards using DSP paper, ribbon and markers. All of Tammy's guests were able to choose the image and greeting from the stamp set that wished to use!



Tammy's guests had a choice of a 3x6 card or a 6x6 scrapbook page. Both use the same materials and stamp sets!






This was our 3-D item. An absolutely fabulous candy bar holder!

Stationary Box Class


This is the great Stationary Box we made at the class I held before I left for Convention!



This is what it looks like Open, a place for cards, gift enclosures and tags.



These were the tags.




These were the two style of cards we made. It came with all the envelopes for the cards and gift enclosures. What a great gift!

Club July

I almost forgot to Blog July's Club projects. I was showing off retiring stamp sets and colors.


This is a tunnel card, you can see the inside below. I used the retiring Wild Rose Stamp set and the retiring River Rock, Bayou Blue and Wild Wasabi as well as the porcelain prints DSP.


This is the inside of the card.



I called this faux velvet and the card uses the Carte Postale Stamp set.



This was just a fun card using lots of punches and a retiring stamp set!

My Meeting Make and Take




This is the Make and Take I put together for the Inkett Meeting. It uses the Big Birthday Candle stamp set and the designer series paper and the word window. It is a cute candy holder.

June Club Samples





This pop up card should look familiar it is another copy of MJ Farney's card that I posted earlier in the month. I changed the inside a little and added a wheel on the outside but the idea is all MJ.




How cute is this, it uses DSP and a scallop punch to make the cute bug!








I couldn't resist this card, it's been done all over the blogs, but I wanted to show it off too!

The Star Book




This is the book closed. It is made with a Stampin' Up! simply scrappin kit. This shows off the over.



This is a close up of the star points, it really shows off the decorative paper.




Top view so you can see the star. I made this last night, it really easier than it looks. I did not embellish it with the self adhesive die-cuts from the kit. I am going to wait until I add the pictures. It really came out nice. To create this book you need a roll of sticky strip and a simply scrappin kit. You will have some paper, embellishments and adhesive left over after you finish the book.

Swaps Galore




Okay, I have been so busy with stuff I am so glad I now have a few things to show off! These are the 50, yes Fifty swaps I made for technique swap I am in with the NY Inketts. They should look really familiar I copied them from MJ Farney one of my inspired stamping friends.

Such a cool idea!
















This is a great stationary set, It includes notecards, gift enclosures & gift tags plus a place for stamps and notes all enclosed in this cool box! I have had a hard time with this pick a petal stamp set but I am starting to get the hang of it and it is growing on me. Pun totally intended! I wish I could take credit for this but I copied the pattern from another blog. Look for an upcoming class so you too can create this awesome gift!

Teacher Gift




This is one of the gifts I made for Dylan's 1st Grade Teacher. I brought it in to school today. I snapped this picture on the fly and have to say it came out so good. It is a great candid of the kids getting ready for rug time and they all look great and the teacher looks so fabulous!

Madeleine's Thank You's







These were Madeleine's Thank you notes, they were WAY, WAY easier then the Belle on invites. The pieces were bigger and easier to keep track of and the machine cut them smoother. I made them Monday night so Madeleine could hand them to her friends at Preschool on Tuesday. She loved playing mailperson!

Father's Day Cards




These are the Father's Day cards I CASED off another blog. I can't remember where I saw them or I would show you the original. I used leftover designer paper from a Simpy Scrappin Kit and the Father's Day Stamp from our Current Catalog. I thought they came out really nice. I sent them off to the Dad's this week.
