August Stamp Club & Stamp Class Projects

For the month of August, I focused on Halloween projects for my stamping events.  There are so many cute ideas using the Googly Ghouls stamp set found in the Holiday Catalog.  


This first project uses the Ghoulish Googlies kit.  I had made these cute little bags at my stamp parties this month as well, but here I dressed it up a bit by adding a cut-out bat that has been "popped-up" using Stampin' Dimensionals.


This card is very similar to the card that I made to swap at Convention this year.  For this card, I used the Frankenstein image from the stamp set, and the Howlstooth & Scaringbone designer series paper.  


These cute little tins (empty Altoids-type tins) make adorable gift containers.  They could hold anything from candy to jewelry to gift cards.  The spider tag was from the Ghoulish Googlies kit as well.  A Pumpkin Pie Glimmer brad fills the hole and adds a pop!  Oh, and the tags from this kit are two-sided so you can use both sides.  That's where the Pumpkin Pie & Basic Black stripes paper came from.


To finish the edge of the tin, I applied some of the 1/2" Striped Satin Ribbon from the Holiday Catalog using Tombow Multi-Purpose Adhesive.  I think this ribbon would look great on wedding cards too.



 For this card, I used the "happy halloween" stamp from Teeny Tiny Wishes.  The main image and the Basic Black layer are done using the Sizzix Big-Shot and the Labels Collection Framelits.  I love those Framelits!  Although it's hard to see, I used the gold Stampin' Dazzle Marker from the Holiday Catalog to color in the buckle on the witches hat.


Finally, I cased this cute little broom from the Stampin' Up! Catalog.  I don't have the stamp set used on their broom, so I used the Hostess Only stamp, Mixed Medley also from the Holiday Catalog.  Host a party, and you can get this stamp set that has many seasons to stamp for.  So easy, I could also see using other candy as well as pencils in the 1"x8" cellophane bags.

Thanks for stopping by.

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...
