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.

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.

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.

Cheer Up Butter Cup- Geometrical Card

 

How cute is this card.  Personally I just love the colors, such a fun combination.

Cheer Up Buttercup Card

I really wanted to share this card since several stamp sets are being retired.  It’s a great combination of products from the catalog and the mini catalog.  It’s also a fun and different way to use the Pennant Parade set.  You will be able to get some of the mini catalog items in the new catalog.  Can you guess which ones?

This cute card is one of the cards from my Stampin’ Buffet next week.  Be sure to come and make before the products retire.

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.

Red Rock 2014

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

Mother's Day Box

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.

Mother's Day Box Open

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.

Envelope Punchboard Box instructions

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.

Mother's Day Flower Card

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.

Hoppy Easter Carrot Treat

I hope you all have an enjoyable Easter no matter what way you spend it.  I enjoy spending the day at church with my family reflecting on the beautiful gift of forgiveness the savior has given me.  I also enjoyed watching my children hunt for eggs and jumping on the new tramp followed by time with the extended family and yummy food.

Easter Carrot

Today I thought I would share with you a fun little Easter treat.  This one is so easy to may.  It’s created with the scallop circle die.  You could also use the circle fram-lits as the also have a large scallop circle.  After cutting the scallop circle emboss it with your favorite texture folder.   Next roll it into a cone shape an hold together with a little ribbon.  To finish it off I added some great paper that I cut just the edge in strips (the new fringe scissors would work perfect for this, but I don’t have them yet.)  Last I added a little bit of candy.  This treat is quick any easy and so fun to make as a cute gift.  It’s even easy enough that you can make it with the kids as a fun Easter craft.

Flowers for Mother

Mothers love to get flowers for Mother’s day so this card is perfect.  She’ll get a special note from you and beautiful flowers that won’t die.

Mother's Day Flower Card

This card is extra special because it has a fun hidden note behind the flowers.  The pot is actually folded in 1/2 and you can pull the top flowers out to revel a hidden message just for Mom.

Mother's Day Flower Card with tag out

I absolutely love the detail and dimension in this card don’t you?  It’s so easy to achieve with the bone folder.  Simply hold the edge of the bone folder on the center of the inside of flower.  Press your finger on the other side of the flower against the bone folder and pull.  This will help to softly curl the paper much like you curl ribbon with scissors for a balloon.  This is also a great effect for curling tags.  They are finished off with a tiny pearl in the center.

Mother's Day Flower Card Close Up

Be watching for the cute matching box that we made for club.  Just a quick reminder two of the colors on this project are the retiring in-colors: Primrose Petals & Raspberry Ripple.  They will be gone soon so be sure to get yours before they are gone.

Easter Bunny Punch Card

Did you notice this cute little card in my Stampin’ Buffet this month?

Easter Bunny Punch Art Card

I’m a huge fan of punch art so when I was trying to decide on a fun idea for an Easter card I couldn’t resit making a punch art bunny.  The fun spring colors of the Sale-a-bration paper works perfect with this card along with the sale-a-bration embossing folder.

Do you send Easter cards?  I never have, but I think it would be fun to get this little guy in the mail.  Of course you could change the sentiment to Thank You or Happy Birthday because this little guy is sure to make anyone’s day.
