Stampin' Up! Convention M & T Projects plus a bonus

Up until this year, I've taken the time to stamp and assemble my make & take projects from convention while at convention.  This year however, things were rather fast-paced and we were warned that it would be possible to take part in everything.  For me, that meant that I would skip making my projects at convention, and do them when I returned home.

Here they are and I had a wonderfully relaxing time making them.


This adorable bag uses the Tag a Bag gift bag bundle and the stamp set Tag It (which is the Ronald McDonald House Charities stamp set this year, $3 of each one goes to help this worthwhile charity).  So quick and easy!


These quick Tag a Bag Gift boxes are so fun, and this project covered the top of the box with a stamped cover and then some quick embellishments.  The stamp set(s) are Gorgeous Grunge and Hello, Lovely.


I should have taken a photo before I put the note cards inside, but this bag has 5 matching note cards w/envelopes inside of it.  


This card and matching envelope were the final projects.  I think that Gorgeous Grunge may just be a new favorite stamp set for me.  In fact, I liked the card layout so much that I made the card below for my nephew's birthday this next month.  Instead of using the button and more "girly" colors, I changed up the colors and used the arrow clip from the Hung Up Cute Clips assortment.



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 ...

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. The Sunflower 3D Embossing Folder is part of the next round of Online Exclusive products that will be available for purchase beginning July 1st. This huge embossing folder creates an intricate and detailed 'image' perfect for simple to elaborate projects. Since I'm more of a simple project kind of gal, that's the direction I went with.

#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...
