About me – Page 2 – Stampin' With Candice

Bamboo Beauty

Some of you may know that I spent two and a half years as a the Assistant General Manager at the Spring Hill Suites. In November I decided that I need to take a break from that job to have more time to focus on my family, myself and my stamping. I loved the people that I worked with and wanted a simple easy card that I could make multiples of for my co-workers and staff. Page 86 of the catalog gave me just what I needed. I changed it up just slightly and added some ribbon but still used the same basic idea. I really love this stamp set and will be sad to see it go.

One of the things I enjoyed about the job was creating cards and gifts for both employees and guests who stayed with us. I’m excited that I will get the chance to do it again as I start tomorrow as the General Manager Hampton Inn. As this is a smaller hotel I’m hoping that I will still be able devote time to my renewed passion of stamping and sharing my creations with you.

I will give you a quick tip on creating this card. I stamped off for the larger bamboo pieces and used the full strength for the leaves. This gave me the depth in the colors that you see. You will also notice that I used slightly different colors than the ones in the samples in the catalog.

Happy Birthday

Did you know that today is my birthday!

Yep it is and to celebrate I wanted to share with you three different birthday card sets featuring retiring stamp sets. This first set is my favorite; however, one of the things I like about all these cards is that the layouts are mostly interchangeable. I’ve used the current In Colors on all these cards. While these colors will be around for another year, many of the accessories are not so I recommend grabbing them soon before they are gone (if they aren’t already.) There are three cards for each stamp set as there are three main images in each set. Also, each set uses the same layout but each card is twisted to show the versatility of the layouts.

Party Puffins

This set features a pocket to hold a gift card or cash for a quick and easy gift. I love how easy it is to create this pocket. I actually saw a tutorial for it on Facebook. I will work to get a video done to show you how easy it is to create this pocket. One of my favorite parts of this set of cards is the background. Even though the colors are all different the background is created the same way. I actually used a VersaMark pad and clear embossing powder rather than stamping it with the ink. This is what gives it the shine that you see. I also added shine to the penguin birthday hats using the Wink of Stella Brush.

151770 – Layering Circles Dies (R)

This Birthday Piggy

I featured the In Color designer series paper for this set of cards and a design that uses a half cut front. The part that is cut off is actually scored and placed under the background paper to create the part that flips over the card you can see this in the open section. I made sure to include the greeting beneath the flipped section. I will admit that I used the dies that were available a while back to cut out the images rather than fussy cutting them. They were available on the clearance rack, but I’m not sure if they are still there.

Elephant Parade

I got this fun idea from one of my fellow demonstrator Michelle Pepper. Again I mixed up the layout to show the same concept different ways. This stamp set doesn’t have as many stamps that work for birthday sayings so I did bring in a different stamp set for one of the sayings, but it does have other saying that you can use to create a variety of cards. I used the Wink of Stella Brush again to add sparkle to the balloons and the background is created using the In Color Glimmer paper. Just a note be sure to stamp your creating before you emboss your background to make sure you get a clear stamped image.

Fun new classes
Examples and projects

End of school year fun

I hope that all of you are enjoying your summer. For me it’s already going by so fast. Today I thought I would share just a couple of things from the end of the school year.

First I’m now the proud mother of a High School Graduate. I’m so proud of my son and his accomplishment. Thanks to Stampin’ Up! celebrating his accomplishment was easy to share with others. This is the cute announcement I made to send out to our friends and family. Using “My Digital Studio” made it super easy especially with the cute layout they had designed. I just changed it a bit to fit my needs and pictures. I used the Embark Graduate #133467 $12.95. I of course changed the colors to my son’s school. I also used it to make easy decorations for his graduation party.

Here’s a couple of quick pictures of the fun banner along with the cards he received from family and friends.

Graduation Decorations

I also made this fun banner for to hang up at the party. I supper excited to have these banners back. I loved them in the holiday catalog and have had so much fun creating banners with them to celebrate all sorts of things.

Horray Banner

I also have to share the amazing cake my son made for him. He may not be stamping (although he’s good at that too when he wants to) but he must get a little talent from Mom right. He’s definitely got a knack for it that’s for sure. I’m so glad he’s willing to help Mom out.

Here’s just a few pictures celebrating the big day. I’m still not quite sure how he’s old enough to graduate because I’m not old enough, but we sure are proud of him. I was luck enough to have my other son in the band so he was able to sit right down front and get pictures for me.

Zack Graduation

Me & Zack Graduation

While my older three boys are all in upper level schools with many teachers, my youngest is still in elementary so I wanted to make something special for his awesome teacher.

I thought that teachers can always use cards so I made this cute card holder and filled it with fun hand-stamped cards.

20140530_085952

I think it roughly holds about 15 cards. Here’s a little closer look at the tag. I seriously love this tag punch and I’m so glad it’s in the new catalog. You’ll also noticed that I used a bran new stamp set on this fun project. One of the great parts of being a demonstrator is being able to pre-order new products including new stamp sets, accessories and even in-colors. Plus we get the catalog a whole month early to enjoy looking through.

I also wanted a fun little gift for all the kids so I made them each a book-marker to help them remember to keep reading this summer. Now I know this one used a retired stamp and I’m sad that these in-colors are gone (however I’m totally loving the new ones), but I thought he was just to cute not to use and the kids would love it. I did use the hello from the new photoplymer set Endless Birthday Wishes. This set has already sold out once so be sure to get yours before they are gone.

Here’s my cute little one with his teacher. We are sad that she won’t be his teacher anymore she was awesome, but I’m sure he’ll have yet another great teacher as he moves into 2nd grade.

Thanks for letting me share a few proud moments with you. I hope you all have a great summer with lots of Stampin’. Be watching for all the fun summer events I have coming up. Summer is also a great time to get together with your friends for a little stampin’ fun. I’d love to help you out. Just give me a call and we’ll set up a date.

PS. I have new catalogs so be sure to come to one of my events and get yours.

Happy Mother’s Day!

I hope all of you are enjoyed your Mother’s Day. I’m spent my Mother’s Day weekend with my husband and friends in Moab, Utah running the Red Rock Relay. I did it last year and had so much fun. Once again we had a great time.

I wanted to share with you real quick the project we made last month for our monthly club.

Each club member was able to make this adorable mother’s day gift box perfect for that special gift for mom. The box was made using the envelope punch board. Yes this board is great for so much more then just making envelopes.

To make the box I started with an 8×8 piece of paper. I used the punch board and lined my paper at the 5 then punched and scored. Afterwards I moved it to the 3 and punched and scored again. I repeated this on each side of the paper. Once I was done with that I used the corner rounder on the top to round all my edges. Last you will want to flip the paper over and use your score board to score the center marks on each of the corners. This is the part that you can see folded in. This is also where I placed the glue to hold the box together. You don’t need to do this only if you want the box to stay together withouth the belly band. In the picture below I’ve drawn in the score lines so you can see them.

I finished the box off with a fun belly band. You’ll notice that our box matches the cute card that was available to make in the card buffet.

Here’s a close up of the cute belly band and the flowers that pop. I finished the flowers off with a little pearl in the middle. I love how they look. Remember to use your bond folder to curl your flowers and give them more dimension.

I hope you had fun sharing projects with your mother this mother’s day. I love sharing handcrafted projects with my Mom as well as family and friends.
