Punches – Page 6 – Stampin' With Candice

Bee Film Strip Card

My friend Heather made this card for a leadership swap.

I love how simple it is. Plus it uses one of my favorite stamp sets. I think the film strip idea is so fun and could be used with a bunch of different stamp sets. It’s so easy to make with our great spiral punch. Try it today.

Wacky Wednesday 3-18-09

OK I decided to put these in Wacky Wednesday because I’m a day late for St. Patrick’s Day.

I made this cute little guy for my “Discover the Green Night” for decorations. I had a bunch spread out on the table. They also a fun treat because they are on a peppermint patty. I got the idea Samantha Parisi. She has some amazing punch art on her blog www.rubberstampingdiva.com. You can check out her blog for all the details on how to make them.

What is a Leprachaun with out his trusty pot of gold. Samantha is just so clever. It’s this just so cute.

At the event we had the chance to make this fun card. It was designed by a member of our group. My up-line has a wonderful blog that is available to our group only. This is just one of the many benefits for joining our group as a Stampin’ Up!® demonstrator. If you want to learn more you can check out my “Join me” section or give me a call at 435-245-5321. I love to talk to you more about this wonderful opportunity.

You have to check out the fun details on this card. We stamped the hearts with VersaMark® and then embossed them with clear embossing powder. I just love how it sparkles.

Technique Tuesday 3-17-09

I have often been asked how I get my knots so nice. I will have to confess when I first started I turned to my up-line all the time for help. Now after a thousand swaps or so I can finally tie a good knot. I thought that maybe if I showed you step by step it would help.

I think the biggest thing that helps me is I usually tie the knot when it is still connected to the roll of ribbon. This makes it easy to always tie it correctly because I only have one end of the ribbon to work with.

Step 1- So first I place my ribbon under the idem I am going to tie the knot on.

Step 2- Next I cross the two pieces of ribbon. As you can see the roll of ribbon is now on the left side and the end I am tying with is crossed over to the right.

Step 3- Next you want to fold the lose end over the top and under the end attached to the roll.

Step 4- Now fold down the end attached to the roll. Now both ends of the ribbon should be facing down. The loose end is on the right side and the attached end is on the left side.

Step 5- Fold the lose end up across the attached end.

Step 6- Tuck the lose end under the attached end.

Step 7- Your finished knot. I believe this is called a square not, but I’m not sure. You think I would know since I have 4 boys and they are in scouts. I have found that when I tie a knot like this the ends both go down. If I want them to go up I just tie it upside down. On of the keys to a perfect knot is to keep the ribbon nice and flat through each step.

Here is the finished project. I hope that this helps you in tying the perfect knot. Remember that it also takes practice so just keep on tying.

Here is another sample of the same card with a different picture and saying. I got this card idea from Becky Roberts blog. You can check it out here www.inkingidaho.blogspot.com.

Wacky Wednesday 3-11-09

So you are probably wondering why these fun cards are featured under Wacky Wednesday. Well it’s really pretty simple. When I was looking at these cards and trying to decide where to put them I realized that I had forgotten to post my projects of the month.

These cute cards match the projects perfectly. I will hopefully get them posted later today. So I figured I was a little Wacky and running behind as usual.

Since I leave on the 20th and I’m getting a late start on getting out my monthly projects I decided two things. First I’m going to extend the deadline for this month (see more info with the projects) and 2nd I’m going to give the products to make these to cards with any kit that is ordered before the end of the month. You can email me at andersoncandice@hotmail.com or call me at 435-245-5321. Click here to see the projects.

Both of these cards were ones we made at our shoebox swap a few weeks ago. I’m not sure who designed the one with the rectangle but I know the circle one was by my awesome up-line Janice Barlow. I think they are both really cute. I love that they both used a different color of yellow and it works great with the DSP.

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.

I 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.

I 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.

This 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.

Inside 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.
