March 2009 – Page 5 – Stampin' With Candice

Thrifty Thursday 3-5-09

Here’s a blast from the past. This was the first Scrapbook page I made as a Stampin’ Up!® Demonstrator. I used one of our Simply Scrapin’®Kits. I don’t think there is anything (besides paper and inks) that is still available.

I really love the Simply Scrapin’ Kitsbecause they make scrapbooking fast and easy. They come with the stickers, DSP and Cardstock add a few stamps and accessories and you are good to go.

This page really works for Thrifty Thursday because it uses the Stampin’ Pastels® to achieve all the great colors. The chalks are a very economical way to get our wonderful colors. This is a simple technique called poppin’ pastels. It’s actually really easy. All you do is stamp your image using the VersaMark® ink and the apply the chalk. The best way to apply the chalk is with our wonderful sponge daubers.

If you’ve never tried this technique before I encourage you to give it a try. If it’s been a while then it’s a great time to remember it. Here is a list of supplies you will need:
105542 Stampn’ Pastels $24.95
102283 VersaMark Pad $7.50
102892 Sponge Daubers (12) $10.95
Stamp Set of your Choice (Bold sets work the best)

Wacky Wednesday 3-4-09

I like Wacky Wednesday because it gives me a chance to share some other fun stuff. I received this in the mail and I was so excited to get it. I love that Stampin’ Up! sends our travel documents in such a fun packaging. I’m so excited to leave for Hawaii next week. My kids are so sad that they are not going with us.

Isn’t this bag so cute. I love the luggage tags. I can’t wait to see what other fun surprises they have in store for us when we get there. The hotel we are staying in is so nice. If you want to see how Stampin’ Up! spoils us you can check out the hotel at www.HiltonWaikoloaVillage.com. This place is 62 acres and has canal boats and swiss made trams to get around it. How cool is that. There is even a Dolphin Learning Center where you can swim with the dolphins (I wish that was paid for). I will definitely be sharing pictures and more fun info when I get back.

I want to send out a big “THANK YOU” to all my wonderful hostess, customers and down-line that helped me to achieve this fabulous vacation. I would love for you to join me in the future for other wonderful opportunities like this. Please check out my JOIN ME section to learn more. I would love to have you on my team.

Aloha!

Fun Little Game

I love checking my friend Deborah’s blog and she posted this great idea. Since I REALLY want something from her (even though I’m a little nervous about her limitations posted below), I’m offering the same challenge to you. The first five people to respond to this post will get something made by me! My choice. For you. This offer does have some restrictions and limitations:

1- I make no guarantees that you will like what I make! (But, I really hope you will)
2- What I create will be just for you.
3- It’ll be done this year.
4- You have no clue what it’s going to be.
5- I reserve the right to do something extremely strange.

The catch? Oh, the catch is that you must repost this on your blog (or facebook, etc.) and offer the same to the first 5 people who do the same on your blog. The first 5 people to do so and leave a comment telling me they did, win a FAB-U-LOUS homemade gift by me! Oh, and be sure to post a picture of what you win when you get it! Good luck!

Technique Tuesday 3-3-09

Let me introduce you to a fun friend of my that most people forget about. I have to admit I forget about him all the time to. Then I saw a post on a blog that reminded me of this great friend and tool. His name is Mr. Crimper and he really does a wonderful job. He is so easy to use and can sometimes add just the right touch to a project. All you do is put the paper in squeeze the handle and turn the knob. If you want just the center then put the paper part way through and only turn a few turns then release. It’s that easy. If you would like to try out this fun tool just give me a call and we can set up a workshop for you and your friends 435-245-5321.

I picked these two cards because I love how they used the crimper to crimp just a part of the card.

This card was created by my awesome up-line Janice Barlow. We made it at Brandi’s Meeting. I think it’s fun how we crimped just a part of the bottom when it ties into the slit not punch. If you want an easy way to line up the butterflies be sure to try the Stamp-a-ma-jig®.

Products Used:
111564 Flight of the Butterfly $31.95
111372 Kiwi Kiss 5/8″ Striped Grosgrain Ribbon $9.95
101618 Crimper $19.95
104388 Slit Punch $5.95
106958 Cutter Kit $16.95
111644 Heard from the Heart $22.95

Colors- Apricote Appeal, Kiwi Kiss, Regal Rose, Tangerine Tango, Whisper White

This card was created by my new Leadership friend “B” Schreiber from Oregon. I really love how she crimped in the middle of the paper to add just that extra touch. I saw a card where they used this same set and crimped the beehive after stamping it. It was very effective and cute. I was created by Melanine Williams in our group.

Products Used:

101618 Crimper $19.95
113228 Just Buzzin’ By $27.95
109070 Whisper White Taffeta $6.95
104832 Black Gingham $7.50

Colors- Pumpkin Pie, Summer Sun, Whisper White, Basic Black, Creamy Caramel, More Mustard, Close to Cocoa

Another fun way to use the crimper is to crimp a sheet and then cut it up to use as filling in a basket or box. You can use a paper cutter or I just bought a really cheep paper shredder from Walmart. You want the kind that just does long cuts and now double cutting. Then I just crumple them all up before I put them in the basket so that the go every which way. I love this quick and easy technique.
