July Stamp Club Projects


Can I say that summer is just down-right busy! Well, I'm pretty sure that I'm not the only one that thinks that. I didn't get projects for July stamp club posted last week before I left for a family reunion, so I'm posting them now.


This first card was cased from Carrie Sampsel. I loved the colors and design. The only big changes I made were the faux button made with the Sweet Buttons Embosslits die instead of a designer series button, and that I used a template to cut the pennant instead of using the Perfect Pennants die that Carrie used. However, I'm so going to have to buy the pennant die as I've seen far too many accents that used it on cards.


This second card is another case, this time from Krista Fenton. Again, it was such a great use of colors and design, that the only thing I changed was simplifying the layout a bit by no typing the Baker's Twine into bows at the beginning and end.


Finally, a card that I used inspiration from many cards, but came up with my own layout. The idea for the ice-cream cone was given by other demonstrators. Just too cute. The colors are So Saffron, Chocolate Chip, Baja Breeze, Blushing Bride, Whisper White, Poppy Parade and Crumb Cake; all inspired from the Just Add Cake designer series paper that is used. The new 1/2" Chocolate Chip Scallop Dots ribbon gives a nice finishing touch. The only stamps used are the Pennant Parade and Happiest Birthday Wishes (a hostess only set). Punches used are: 2-1/2" Circle, Petite Pennants Builder & Cupcake Builder punches.

2011 Desktop Calendar

This month in my stamp club meetings, I had the gals make these desktop calendars. It was a big hit. The image to the left of the calendar can be changed according to the season (winter, spring, summer & fall) by removing the image and placing one of the other 3 onto the velcro dot (attached behind the image). The corresponding side of the velcro dot is placed on the back side of the images. I used the stamp set A Flower for all Seasons , #111592, $14.95. And, the extra images are stored inside in a small cellophane bag. The calendar base takes only 1 sheet of card stock to make, measuring 9" x 6-1/2". With simple scoring and folding, it goes together very quickly. Another demonstrator had shared the calendar file that is printed onto printer paper and cut to size. All fit into the 1/2" library clip from the clips assortment (#112580; $6.95). There are 8 of them included in the package along with a couple of other style of paper clips. While they are still ...

#SU! Christmas Season Simple Elegance Card

When you participate in a swap with other Stampin' Up! Demonstrators, you often get some great ideas! Such was the case this month for me. I received in the mail a swap I participated in (hint: I share the card sent to me in my video tutorial!) this month. My good friend often includes me in her team swaps, and I'm so grateful. I loved the layout and immediately thought of the Christmas Season stamp set. This layout goes together so quickly that you could easily put together a stack of Christmas cards in no time. Change up the colors, and have a variety, or keep them all the same. Whatever you decide, I hope you'll try this out. Here are the measurements for the card: Sahara Sand cardstock: 5-1/2"x8-1/2", scored at 4-1/4" horizontally  Blackberry Bliss cardstock: 3-7/8"x5-1/8" Basic White cardstock: 3-3/4"x5"; 4"x5-1/4" (inside); scrap for the greeting large enough to be cut from the Picture This Die Vellum cardstock : 1-1/8...

Accordion Z-Fold Card Tutorial

And, it's a great way to show-off the beautiful Designer Series Papers that Stampin' Up! sells too. I put together a video showing all the steps to put together this fun-fold card. And, at the end I share a few more projects that I made using it. I hope you'll check it out.  Measurements: Evening Evergreen cardstock: 5-1/2" x 11", score along the 11" side at 1-3/4", 3-1/2", 5-1/4" & 7"; 3" x 6", score along the 6" side at 3" Fitting Florets Designer Series Paper: 2 pieces cut at 1-1/2" x 5-1/4" and 2 pieces cut at 2-3/4" x 2-3/4" Basic White cardstock: 3-3/4" x 5-1/4" and one piece 3" x 3"  Be sure to use the November host code: PA43R2KF (good through 11/30/2022) ...
