Cards from the West Frankfort Class!

Posted on November 25, 2011 by Carol Payne

Last Tuesday I had a 10-card class in West Frankfort. We had fun making these cards for the $25 fee! Here's the cards we made:

This card was made with the Jolly Jingle Jumbo Wheel and the ornament from Jolly Bingo Bits:

Using the Chery Cobbler card from the Everyday Elegance Simply Sent Kit, the wreath from the Stitched Felt Winter Wishes, and "Season's Greetings" from Four the Holidays:

Once again we used a wreath from Jolly Bingo Bits, and the verse is from Grateful Greetings:

Here's the Baja Breeze version with the Northern Frost Decorative Strip Die Snowflakes made with Silver Glimmer Paper, and "Peace on Earth" from Four the Holidays:

This one is a CASE of one of my Founder's Circle swaps (sorry, I don't remember whose it was);

This one uses the Pennant Parade stamp set and the "Petals-a-Plenty" Textured Impressions Folder. My good friend, Brenda Luter, swapped this card at convention:

This is another Founder's Circle swap with the Stocking Accents Die, Snow Burst Textured Impressions Folder, and "Petite Pairs" stamp set:

Last but not least, we made this cute little Hershey's Nugget Holder with the Two Tags Die and the Stocking Builder Punch:

"Comfort & Joy" was the stamp set used to make this CASE of another Founder's Circle swap:

Our final two projects were the "Jolly Jingles" "Festive & Fun" card & bag I showed you in my November 21st post.

Hope you have a great "Stampingrox!" day, whether you spend it out shopping the Black Friday sales or enjoy a relaxing day at home!

Festive & Fun-a better view!

Festive & Fun Valentine!

As I promised you yesterday, here's a valentine using another stamp from Festive & Fun!

and the inside:

©Stampin'Up!™1990-2011

Supplies used

Stamps: Festive & Fun (#123742-wood, #123744-clear), Grateful Greetings (#116511 -wood only)

Cardstock: Crumb Cake, Whisper White, Flirtatious Specialty Designer Series Paper (the Melon Mambo intricate doily behing the "be my Valentine" greeting is cut from one of the two doily sheets included in the Flirtatious Paper Pack), Silver Glimmer Paper

Ink: Staz-on Black, Melon Mambo & Wisteria Wonder Stampin' Write Markers

Accessories: 1 3/4" Circle Punch, 3/8" Wisteria Wonder Ruffled Ribbon, Heart to Heart Punch, Scallop Trim Border Punch, Stampin' Dimensionals, SNAIL adhesive

As I did with the card yesterday, I stamped the "be my Valentine" image in Staz-on Black so I can use my markers in any color, regardless of how light the ink may be, without worrying that the outline of the image will smear or bleed.

That's all for today. Hopefully I will be back tomorrow with another project to show you!

Until tomorrow, have a "Stamingrox" day!

Festive & Fun from the Holiday Mini!

Posted on November 21, 2011 by Carol Payne

I know I've been absent from here for a LOOOONG time, but I'm back and I hope to share a few of the things I've been up to with you over the next few days!

I was able to attend a Stampin' Up! Regional event in Louisville, KY at the end of October. A BUNCH of my downline were able to attend as well: Jan, Rose, Joyce, Angela, Melinda, Linda, Babs, Cassey, Janice, and Sandy! These girls are so much fun, and I am blessed to call them my friends!

A dear friend of mine, Megan Wheeler, was a Demonstrator Presenter at this meeting. She gave an outstanding presentation, and I have CASED her demo'ed project here for you: a darling lunch sack giftbag and matching card!

We wheeled the Real Red cardstock with the Jolly Jingles Jumbo wheel and Basic Black ink cartridge, wheeling on the diagonal to give it that cool "retro" look! The handle is punched with the Extra Large Oval Punch, and the ribbon is Basic Black Dotted Scalloped Ribbon.

On the front we attached a cut-down Clear Translucent Envelope with Sticky Strip to slip the card down into.

The card itself is stamped with the "holly jolly" greeting from "Festive & Fun" from the Holiday Mini catalog in Staz-on Black, then colored with Real Red and Garden Green Stampin' Write Markers. I prefer to stamp any image that I am going to color with Markers, Blender Pen, or Aquapainter with the Staz-on ink because Staz-on will not smear or run when moisture come in contact with it.

This is a fun little set we will be making at the rest of my workshops through December. If you would like to have a quick little Christmas Card Party before Christmas gets here, I have these dates still open:

Thursday, December 1st

Thursday, December 15th

If you have any questions or comments, feel free to leave them for me!

Tomorrow, I will show you another card made with the same set, this time for Valentine's Day!

Until tomorrow, have a "Stampingrox!" Day!
