Good Morning!

Good Morning!

Good morning Stampers!

So sorry for the late posting this morning, once in awhile things just do not go as planned, do they?

Here's another "punched glitter" technique card, only this time I used the Big Shot Framelits to cut out the "Apothecary Art" image!

This picture doesn't do the glitteriness justice, but you can get the idea! We are making this card at my workshop in Marion tonight! I get to stamp with these lovely ladies almost every month and I can't wait!

Well, I'd better run and get the rest of my projects for tonight all packed up!

Until tomorrow, have a "Stampingrox!" Day

Valentine Heart Framelit Mobile & Tutorial

Valentine Heart Framelit Mobile & Tutorial

While at the San Antonio Regional held immediately after Leadership, I had the opportunity to see some very talented demos "strut their stuff" at the Demonstration Booths. Stampin' Up! asks Demonstrators who will be attending their events to apply to show a technique or new idea using Stampin' Up! products. I hope to share several of those ideas with you soon, but for now I need to show you the one I have put into action, a Valentine Mobile made with the new Heart Framelits, Silver and Red Glimmer Paper, and Cherry Cobbler Baker's Twine!

Isn't it a beauty? Unfortunately, even though I took notes and pictures of this project, I failed to record the Demonstrators name who presented this project! My bad! If you DO know the name of the pretty lady who shared this, PLEASE let me know!

ETA: The name of the talented demonstrator who presented this project was Judy Garza! You can view her blog here:

The owl valentine on the left is for Ava and was inspired by Heather Summers. I took the owl a step further with the penquin valentine on the right for Maddie Kate, then jumped in with the "I Dig You" valentine in the center for Cohen. All of the Valentines are attached to Rice Krispy Treats with Stampin' Dimensionals.

Here are the backsides:

Easter is on it’s way!

Easter is on it’s way!

I'm starting to get ready for a couple of vendor fairs this month, so thought some Easter projects would be appropriate. This bunny I gleaned the general idea for from the Stampin' Up! Demonstrator exclusive website, Stampin' Connection, but I changed him up some and attached him to a Big Shot Fancy Favor box, then added a handle to make him into an Easter Basket! The box was wheeled with the "Daisy Dash" Jumbo wheel with Certainly Celery ink on the Certainly Celery cardstock. For the bunny face  and body on the backside of the box I cut my Naturals White cardstock with the biggest Scallop Circle Die, then used the Wide Oval punch, Scalloped Oval punch, Small Heart punch, 1/2" Circle punch, and 3/4" Circle punch.

Here's this bunny's backside! I punched three pieces of Pretty in Pink Designer paper with the Scallop Circle punch, scrunched them up, pierced a hole in the center with my Paper Piercing Tool, added a brad to center to hold them all together, then attached it all to the back of the bunny with Stampin' Dimesionals!

To take this bunny theme one step further, I made a matching Bunny card, this time using the Big Shot Scallop Circle #2 Die. All the punches used ar ethe same as for the bunny box, and I added the  "Easter Wishes" from the Occasions Mini Level 2 Hostess set, "Something to Celebrate", punched out with the Wide Oval punch and layered on the  Scallop Oval punch!

The inside phrase is from "Something Sweet", and I love the combo of the Scallop Circle punched and layered on the Pretty in Pink polka dot Designer Paper Decorative label. I continued the bunny theme with the darling little rabbit from a set you can get free right now during SAB,  "So Cute"!

Petals-a-Plenty Christmas Tree!

Petals-a-Plenty Christmas Tree!

As promised, here is my mini-tutorial for creating an embossed Christmas Tree using the Petals-a-Plenty Textured Impressions Folder and the Big Shot!

I started by using my Hobby Blade and the Cutting Mat to cut two tree-shaped triangles out of a piece of thick cardboard from one of my packages of Candy Candy Christmas Designer Series Paper. The cardboard needs to be pretty thick and sturdy so it can take the place of the bottom acrylic cutting pad.

November 2010 065©Stampin'Up!™1990-2010

I attached these two triangles to each other with Sticky Strip.

November 2010 066©Stampin'Up!™1990-2010

I then attached the triangle to the positive side (petals popping UP!) of my Petals-a-Plenty Textured Impressions folder with Dotto repositionable adhesive. You want your triangle to be on the bottom of your sandwich going through the Big Shot, (this pic shows everything upside down). Insert your cardstock as shown in the picture so you can perfect the placement of the tree. Flip this all over and run through the Big Shot with this sandwich order: cardboard triangle attached to Impressions Folder, Impressions Folder with cardstock in middle, acrylic cutting plate.

November 2010 086©Stampin'Up!™1990-2010

Here's your Petals-a-Plenty Christmas Tree!

November 2010 071

©Stampin'Up!™1990-2010

Use the journaling tip of a Cherry Cobbler Stampin' Write Marker to just barely apply color to the dots in the centers of the poinsettias and between the flowers. You will have a few slightly embossed petals around the main tree image, but you choose where you want your tree to begin and end by where you color the dots and later where you put the Two-way Glue and Dazzling Diamonds Glitter!

  November 2010 072©Stampin'Up!™1990-2010

This pic shows part of the tree has had Two-Way Glue applied and sprinkled with Dazzling Diamonds Glitter so you can see the difference of with and without the glitter!

November 2010 076©Stampin'Up!™1990-2010

We stamped the inside with a verse from Seasonal Sentiments, and surrounded it with snowflakes from Snow Swirled, all in Cherry Cobbler ink!

November 2010 085©Stampin'Up!™1990-2010

After adding a strip of Cherry Cobbler punched with the Dotted Scalloped Ribbon Border and a strip of Deck the Halls Designer Series Paper, we added a greeting from Snow Swirled punched with the Wide Oval punch, matted on a Cherry Cobbler Decorative Label. The finishing touch is a Basic Jewel Rhinestone on the top of the tree!

A Darling Surprise!

A Darling Surprise!

I held my Scallop Square Purse Classes this weekend, and my daughter, Alisa, helped me with guiding the class attendees through the steps to make their purses. We held a Friday night class and one on Saturday morning, so she & her husband, Cody, spent the night so she could sleep in until the last minute! She is more of a night-owl than I am, so when I got up on Saturday morning I was delighted to find these adorable baby-sized purses waiting for me!

We had received a request from one of our friends for a toddler-sized Scallop Square purse, and the only requirement was that it be pink! I had commented to Alisa that we needed to try making a purse with the smaller squares from the new Scallop Squares Duo Die in the Holiday Mini. Well, I need to remember from now on that with my Alisa, it is ask-and-you-shall-receive!

To give you more perspective on how tiny these purses are, here's the standard, 6-panel Scallop Square purse we've been making these past months and our customers have made in our purse classes:

©Stampin'Up!™1999-2010 (and yes, this purse IS for sale, it's made with gorgeous fabric called "California Dreamin" and can be yours for only $40!)

Now, here's the 4-panel purses we've been selling to a lot of grandma's for their grand-daughters!

 

006

©Stampin'Up!™1999-2010 (this purse is also for sale for $30!)

Now here's a baby purse compared to the 4-panel purse:

 
009

©Stampin'Up!™1999-2010 The baby-sized purses are for sale for $20!

Well, I'm back to the stamp room for the day getting ready for my 14 workshops this month! Wish me luck with the papercutter! Contact me if you want to purchase one of these purses for yourself or as a fantastic gift for someone special!

Until tomorrow, have a Stampingrox! day!
