July Class/Club Projects

I've been back from Stampin' Up!'s annual convention in Salt Lake City, Utah now for a week! It's taken me that long to recuperate! What an amazing time of being inspired, learning, and spending time with some great ladies!

Here are this month's class/stamp club projects all using the stamp set Label Love and the coordinating Artisan Label punch. You can bundle these two together and save 15% too!

Are you in need of a quick gift or gift packaging? These quick little Tag a Bag Gift Boxes are just what you need. They come 8 to a package and you can add the tags to bundle them and make gift giving even easier.

For this project I simply added a strip of designer series paper, some ribbon and a quick tag using the Label Love stamp set and a 1-3/4" Circle punch.

There's noting more basic than a black & white card! Here I've combined Basic Black and Very Vanilla. The new Modern Medley Designer Series Paper works wonderfully for this elegant card, and although a simple black strip would have worked behind the paper, the piece punched using the Scallop Trim Border punch steps it up a notch.

This next card was cased from Sue Miller. I loved the layout, but changed up the outside trim by using the new 3/8" Ruffle Stretch Trim. It goes around curved edges so wonderfully! The bib was made using the Ovals Collection Framelits and the Sizzix Big-Shot.

Thanks for stopping by! I've been busy making my Make & Takes from convention and I'll share those with you tomorrow. There was just too much to take in while in Salt Lake, but I've enjoyed some down-time and stamping this past week.

Till next time.....

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 ...

Sunflower 3D Embossing Folder Techniques

Do you ever need a quick, but 'wow' kind of card? When don't you, would be my response! That was the inspiration for this weeks card and video tutorial.
