little-bird-cards-holderAt our meeting on the 13th we were each asked to bring a 3D project.  I took my game night score keeper.  Then we drew names to trade with.  I was very excited to get this project.  It is from my friend Megan Dunn.  You can check out her blog at www.welldunnideas.blogspot.com.  This fun little box holds 4 cards with envelops. 

little-bird-cardsI love that she embossed the little birds.  The cards are so simple and so fun.  I really like them.  I just might have to get this stamp set now.  This set also matches the good friend stamp set.

Swapping Saturday 3-14-09

thank-you-buterfly-dieThis was my swap from our group meeting on the 13th.  I was so excited to use some of the product from the new occasions mini catalog.  I loved that the butterfly matched the butterfly die cut.  I stamped on the die cut butterfly after I cut it out.  I also used directly to paper technique to add a little more to the edge.  I created the antlers by cutting off the side of the white 1/4″ grosgrain ribbon.  Then I pulled out some of the fibers.  This is what I used to tie around the butterfly.

Marvelous Monday 3-9-09

My Sister and I had a Game Night Friday night.  She sales Simply Fun which fun family games.  We thought it would be fun to use the new game night stamps and have a combo party.  If you would be interested in more information about her games you can check out her website at www.brigetudy.simplyfun.com.

game-night-folder-closedI wanted to create a fun project that would go along with the theme.  I found this folder created by Wendy Knowles in our awesome group.  I decided to give it a try.  Her project was all covered with the DSP, but I didn’t have enough so I decided to try it with paper that I stamped on.  She covered a file folder.

game-night-folder-openI found that this was a little more difficult with the solid paper verses the DSP and it was hard to fold and not have it bubble.  I still think that it turned out cute, but was more time consuming than I wanted for the party so I decided I needed to simplify.

game-night-scores-closedThis is the project I came up with.  It is really quite fast and easy.  It’s just one sheet of 8 1/2 x 11 paper folded around the note pad.  Then I added the DSP and some stamped paper.  I still added the cute black strip in the front like she had.  I used a crimped paper inbetween to give it a little more texture.  I decided I didn’t want to tie the bow everytime we used it so I put the stampin’ demimentionals  on the bottom part of the black tag only so I could slide the ribbon off the top.

game-night-scores-openInside Wendy had attached the notebook with sticky strip but I wanted to be able to replace it with out tearing my book so I decided to put a strip of DSP all the way across.  I only glued it down on one side.  Where the note book is I placed it in-between the card board back and the last sheet of paper.  Then I put sticky strip on each side of it.  This way I cold slip the note book out and put a new one in.

We love to play games with my family and I really loved having a way to keep score.  There is a little ribbon loop on the front that you can keep a pencil in.  This way we can keep this with all the games and then when we want to play we don’t have to find a notebook a paper.  Sometimes it’s also fun to see who won last time so it’s nice to have it all in one place.

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.
