Swapping Saturday 2-28-09

praying-for-youThis was another card from our Shoebox swap.  This card is actually the one that one.  I think it is so pretty.  I love how she put the little beads on the flowers.  I’m sorry I can’t think of her name right now.  I’ll post it when I remember it.  I think it is so pretty now.  I love the stamp set.

Stampin’ Sunday 2-15-09

Today I decided to share the projects that we did at club this month.  They were all centered around the wonderful Sale-A-Brations Sets.  We also used the technique that I showed on Technique Tuesday February 3rd.  You can check out all the details there.

The Scrapbookers got to make this cute 12 x 12 double page layout.  I got the idea form page 4 of the sale-a-bration catalog.  I love that the paper, Polka Dot Punches stamp set and the ribbon all work together.

Freewheeling Friday 2-13-09

Today was Friday the 13th, but for me it’s usually a good day.  Once again that proved to be true.  Today I was able to go to the shoebox swap that my up-line Brandi was having.  I love it when I can get together with other demonstrators and Stamp.  It’s so much fun to visit and get new ideas. 

rolled-flower-friends-cardThis was one of the 19 cards we got to make.  I loved how we used the roller on the flower from the pretties kit.  What fun.  I also love all the texture in the card.  (Texture plates on card-stock and textured DSP.)  I think the project was created by Becky.

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.

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.

rasberry-tart-box-cardsYou 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.
