Thanksgiving Wreath

Today's project is a labor of love.  My friend and I got together to re-create the wreath from the Holiday Mini Catalog and what we thought was an easy project to do, turned out to be a 4 day project, well, at least 4 hours per day.  I love love love the way it turned out though and I am glad that I had a friend to craft with while making this project because I probably would have given up finishing it if I was doing it by myself.

Like I said on my last post, I have been using the Spice Cake Designer Series Paper a lot lately and this is another project made with it.  I think this is the first time I have used a DSP this much.  I usually just hoard them :-)

 

Of course I had to put my own touch to my wreath so I put some butterflies all over it.  I really love the way it turned out.  I hope you do too!

Simply Scored Class

Last month, I offered my customers a deal for a Simply Scored Class.  If they bought the Simply Scored from me, the class fee was only for $5 (just to cover supplies) but if they weren't interested in buying the Simply Scored and still wanted to take the class, the fee was $12.  I had a few people take me up on my offer and today I want to share with you the cards that we made at the class.

I am currently IN LOVE with the Spice Cake Designer Series Paper from the Holiday Mini Catalog and I just can't stop using it.  I am also loving the Pool Party and Soft Suede colors.  I think they are soooo pretty!  I got the card idea with the Dahlia Fold from Stampin' Connection and the step cards were my original design.  The Step Cards are 3x3 cards and having the Simply Scored Tool just made it soooo easy to make.  I also used a whole lot of Basic Pearls for these cards.  They just made the cards look a little more elegant.

Supplies Used For This Project:

Paper: Pool Party, Soft Suede, Pear Pizzazz, More Mustard, Very Vanilla Cardstock and Spice Cake Designer Series Paper

Ink:  Pool Party, Soft Suede and More Mustard

Case-ing Twila Davis

I want to share with you a CASE of a card that I received as a swap from my friend and  fellow Ustamp Designer Twila Davis.  I had the chance to meet her at the Stampin' Up Convention in July and she is such a sweet and awesome person.  She is so talented and I love all her projects.  If you get a chance, please visit her blog and check out her stuff!

 

 

The only thing I changed about Twila's original card was the popped up butterfly and the greeting in the middle.  Other than that, I left everything just the way she originally designed it.  I used this card for one of my clubs in July.

July Club Card

Today's card is a card that I made for one of my Stamp Club for the month of July.  It is a CASE from the 2011-2012 Idea Book & Catalog.  You can find it on page 98.  I didn't have all of the stamp sets used for the card so I changed it a bit using 2 of the newest Sizzix embossing folders.  I really love the new Idea Book  & Catalog not only because of the stamps and accessories in it but also for all the great samples.

Supplies Used For This Project:

Paper: Calypso Coral, Whisper White, Lucky Limeade

Ink:  Wisteria Wonder, Poppy Parade, Calypso Coral, Lucky Limeade, Early Espresso

Accessories:  Big Shot Machine, Stripes Embossing Folder, Houndstooth Embossing Folder, Scallops Squares Duo Die, 1 3/4" Scallop Circle Punch, Paper Snips, Itty Bitty Punch, Basic Rhinestones, Snail Adhesive and Stampin' Dimensionals

Stamp Sets:  Printed Petals and Petite Pairs

Open House Make & Take

I've been a very bad blogger lately.  I've neglected my blog yet again.  I went to the Stampin' Up Convention and life had been so crazy busy ever since I got back.  So now, I will have to play catch up.  I will be posting some pictures from Convention really soon so please watch out for them.

As soon as I came back, I had an Open House to share with my customers all of the swap cards that I got from Convention.  Today, I want to show you the make & take that I made with all the attendees.  It is a 3 x 3 card.  I wanted to keep it simple because I just wanted to show them a technique.  I wanted to show them how to make the little rosettes using the Stampin' Up Scallop Circle Punch.  We also used the Illuminate Top Coat Smooch on top of the rosettes to give it some sparkles.

 

 

Supplies Used For This Project:

Paper:  Cherry Cobbler, Whisper White, Pretty In Pink, Wisteria Wonder and Lucky Limeade
