Stampin’ Sunday 2-1-09

Last weekend we had a fun day of Stamping at Janice’s down-line meeting. Here are the rest of the fun projects that we got to make.

This is a fun pillow box. I know you can’t see it but we used the new textured plates on it and it looks really cool. The flower is the new Simple Flower embosslit die . I love that it embosses it and cuts it out with just one quick turn through the big shot. We used a half pearl from the pretties kit for the center. The tag is made by stamping in VersaMark pad and embossing with white embossing powder. I love that we got to use the new organza ribbon. I think it is so pretty.

We used:
#114512 Textured Plates $11.95
#114514 Simple Flower Embosslit Die $11.95
#113466 Pillow Box Die $19.95
#107590 Designer Label Punch $15.95
#109132 White Emboss Powder $4.75

#109114 Pretties Kit $29.95
#102283 VersaMark Pad $7.50
#113618 A Beautiful Thing $20.95

I love this card. We used the baby wipe and re-inkers technique for the flowers in the background. If you’d like to learn how to do this technique contact me to schedule a workshop and I can show it to you and your guests andersoncandice@hotmail.com. The center is one of the fun new flower designer brads.

Swapping Saturday 1-31-09

This was a 6×6 page swap that I did for convention last year. I really loved how it turned out. I think the same basic layout could be used on a 12 x 12 page. I will have to give it a try. The Flower in the corner is just the large flower cut out and then folded back and under. I saw it somewhere and thought it looked really cool.

I used:
114954 Doodle This $33.95
115114 Wonderful Favorites $40.95
115096 Ticker Tape Alphabet $42.95
109067 Pretty in Pink Taffeta ribbon $6.95
104336 Sliver Brad $6.95
Colors- Basic Black, Riding Hood Red, Kiwi Kiss, Pink Pirouette

Freewheeling Friday 1-30-09

I love to make gifts when ever I have a chance. I also love to make the package for them. I usually keep the supplies on hand so I can make one really fast. I’ve used them a lot for Weddings, Showers and Baby Gifts.

This is a sample of the box I made to put the gift in. I love the wheels because it is so fast to decorate the box and they look really cute. I used. 109688 Whimsy Jumbo Wheel $8.50 for this box. Then I just used a piece of paper from the Simply Scrapin’ Kit that I created the gift with. You could use any Simply Scrapin’ Kit or DSP. The one pictured here is an old one that is retired now.

The box is so easy to make. Just decide on your size and depth then score the sides to fit. Cut in on the score on just one side all the way around then fold and attach with mini glue dots or sticky strip. I always make the top box 1/16 bigger so they slide together nicely. Then the box is just finished with a belly band that slides off to open the gift.

This is the gift that I made to put in the box. It is using the same Simply Scrapin’ Kit. I’ve just cut it to fit on one of our on board book basics Large#110713 $7.95 for 4. I love this gift because it is so easy to create and you can change it for about any occasion. The picture part is sized perfectly for a 4×6 photo. Then you just put it on a plate rack holder and it’s a darling picture frame with lots of character.

Thrifty Thursday 1-29-09

In todays times we need to make our dollars stretch as much as we can. That’s why I love this project and 3×3 cards. We made at Janice’s meeting.

You can get 8 cards out of just one sheet of 12 x 12 paper. This box is made with just a 1/2 of a sheet of 12 x 12 paper. Each card uses just a tiny bit of dSP. You can make 32 cards with just one sheet of paper. They are fast and simple to make. I love that they are easy and so nice to have on had when you need a quick note for a gift or just to show you care. For a fun gift you can make the box and put 4 cards in it with envelops. It’s easy and fast but someone will really feel special when they receive it.

For this project we used:

113975 Raspberry Tart DSP $9.95
113417 Petal Pizzazz $32.95
113716 Garden Greetings $21.95
109043 Scallop Circle Punch $15.95
114338 Kiwi Kiss Corduroy Buttons $9.95

If you would love to come and learn how to make this fun box then be sure to mark your calanders for my Sale-a-brations Stamp Camp. It will be on Saturday February 28th. We will be making this box using the Polka Dot Punches Stamp Set and Delicate Dots Designer Series Paper from the Sale-a-bration Flyer. Click here for more details.

Wacky Wednesday 1-28-09

Thanks so much to all of you who made it to my open house. I had a great time and I hope you did too. For those of you who couldn’t make it here is some of the fun you missed. Maybe next time you will be able to join in the fun.

Because it was and open house and there was no official hostess to give a gift to and my prize drawing was for the hostess benefits I decided to give each guest a special gift for coming. Each guest received one of these fun Good friend boxes and each was filled with a different surprise gift. Once again I used the new Good Friends Stamp Set #113740 $28.95 and the fun new Petal Pizzazz #113417 $32.95.

Then each guest had the opportunity to create 2 fun make and takes. The first used the set Just Buzzin’ By #113228 $27.95. This is one of my favorite new stamp sets. We made a card and a matching envelope. It’s hard to see but the card says “just buzzin’ by to say…” Then on the inside it says “have a honey of a day! We also stamped a cute flower on the inside.

The second project used the wonderful big shot top not die #113463 $21.95 and some of the products from the Love you Much Bundle #115405 $41.48. We used the heart to Heart Punch #113694 $15.95 and the Love You Much Stamp Set #113756 $25.95. The Bundle also includes the Candy Lane DSP#113980 $9.95 which I love so much that I didn’t have enough left to use. If you bought these products separately they would be $51.85 but you can save 20% on the bundle for just $41.48 through the end of Januray. Hurry fast time is running out.

My guest also had the chance to check out my retired sets for sale, earn chances to win the hostess benifits, visit with old and new friends and have a little bit of chocolate. We had a great time. I still have lots of sets for sale you can check them out by clicking here. Be sure to check out the great specials I have going along with them.
