August Club projects

We had a lot of fun making these pages and cards on Wednesday at Club.  Remember if you join SOS Club you will be able to make these fun pages or cards as well.  SOS Club will be moved from Tuesday the 18th to Wednesday the 19th for this month.  Be sure to contact me asap if you want to come.  Click here for the other pages and all the details.

This month we used the all in the family set.  Remember right now when you buy this set you can get a set of free buttons.  This is good for any $35.00 purchase in the growing up section of the catalog.  Click here for more details.

Club Aug Family PageThe all in the family set is a perfect set to use with our Stamp-a-ma-jig.  I showed them how I took the thick window sheets and cut 2 x 2 squares so that I could make a jig for all the pieces and keep them with my stamp set.  It works great for anything you use your Stamp-a-ma-jig with all the time such as alphabet sets.

Brandi C'09This fun layout came from a page that my up-line Brandi made for a 12 x 12 swap from convention. 

Janice C'09Here is the fun page she made using the under the stars set which is also part of the growing up section of the catalog.

When we were going the other convention swaps we noticed another page that uses the same layout.  It was done by my other up-line Janice.  I love it when you can use the same layout to create three different and great pages.  Remember when you need some inspiration just turn to our great catalog.  Find a layout you like then pick a color scheme and a Stamp Set.  You’ll have your own unique creation in no time.

Club Aug Happy Together

Here are the cards that our members got to make.  It hard to see but the happy together is made with a fun new technique that I learned at convention.  I used the bone folder to curl the piece just like you would ribbon on a present.  I wanted it curled two directions so I started in the middle and went one way then I flipped it over and went the other way.

 

 

 

 

 

 

Club Aug Birthday CardNotice that I also used the piercing tool on the cards and the pages.  I love that the piercing tool is finally avalible by itself.  Be sure to order this great tool for your own projects.

Remember you can get the cute buttons like shown on the birthday card for free with your $35.00 purchase from the growing up section.  This offer ends August 31st so call me today 435-245-5321.  Click here to check out the great growning up promotions.

April Club- Just Beachy

April '09 FishThis post is a little late, but I thought you would like to see the fun projects we did for club in April.  I featured the fun Just Beachy set from the mini catalog and showed them how to do the cracked Glass technique.  I love this technique it looks so cool and is actually really easy to do.I got this fun idea from Kelly.  You can check out her blog here:   http://stampinparadise.blogspot.com.  I changed it a bit. 

 

 

April '09 Fish Close UpI thought if you are really different than maybe you would be a different color.  I don’t know if you noticed it but this fish is the only one in the set that goes the other way.  Here is a close up of the cracked glass.

April '09 BeachHere is the scrapbook page that I came up with using the card as my inspiration.  I love how simple it is, but it has just a fun summer feel.  We colored the fish with the watercolor wonder crayons and a aqua painter.

April '09 B-dayThis is the second card that my card group made.  I totally cased it from a blog, I tried to find it again so I could tell you who, but I couldn’t.  I changed the saying in the center, but the rest is basically like hers.  I thought it was a really cute card.  The size is actually 5×5 go go in our 5 1/2 x 5 1/2 envelops.  The fish are punched out with the 1 1/4″ Square Punch and then sponged with the pacific point.

 

April '09 B-day InsideWe stamped Happy Birthday from the $10.00 and under page on the inside.  Of course we used Whisper White craft in so that it would show up.

 

Matchbox Thank You BoxesSince I had also just got the Matchbox die of course we had to try that out as well.  Here is our fun projects using the match box die and the designer series paper from the mini catalog Walk in the Park.

good-friend-book-front-copyFirst for the Exciting News-
So I know I’m really far behind on my post right now but I just had to get on and talk about my exciting news.  Before I left for Hawaii I created a Paper Bag Scrap-booking using the Good Friends Stamp Set.  I decided I wanted to enter it into the Scrap-booking Class Challenge that Stampin’ Up! was having.  I actually stayed up all night the night before Hawaii to finish the instructions and send it in.  Well yesterday I got a call and I won.  I’m so excited.  I was one of four winners and my project was posted today on our demonstrator site.  I have entered so many contests and it’s such an honor to finally win.  Plus the free stamp set of my choice doesn’t hurt either.  What’s even better is today is my Birthday so what a fun Birthday surprise.  You can check out all the information about this fun book and how to get your project for just $10.00 by clicking here.  Be watching for a special date that I’m going to add where you can come and make this fun project.  Just as an added bonus.

birthday-flowers-heat-stickThis is the swap that Brandi made for her meeting.  I really love how she used heat and stick powder to make the flowers sparkle.

Heat and stick powder is really quite easy to use.  If you have ever heat embossed than you know how to use heat and stick powder you just need to add two more steps.

First you need to stamp your image.  If you are using the dazzling diamonds heat and stick like on this card then you would want to stamp with a craft ink pad so that it stays sticky.

Next you need to pour on the heat and stick powder just like you would embossing powder.  Be sure to use the powder pals for easy clean up and to be able to put your left overs back in the bottle.  Once you’ve covered your project shake off the excess and tap the back to make sure you have removed all the extra powder.

Now you are ready to heat the powder.  Just heat it up with your heat gun.  You will see it start to melt just like you do with the embossing powder.

Once you have melted the heat and stick powder you are ready for your glitter.  Simply sprinkle the glitter over the heat and stick powder.  Use a another powder pal for this.

After you have applied the glitter re-heat the image for a few seconds just to set the heat and stick powered.

That’s it your done.  You’ve added a fun sparkle to your stamped image.  I encourage you to give it a try today.
