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.

We used:
#114512 Textured Plates $11.95
#114514 Simple Flower Embosslit Die $11.95
#113466 Pillow Box Die $19.95
#107590 Designer Label Punch $15.95
#109132 White Emboss Powder $4.75
#114319 Whisper White Organza Ribbon $5.95
#109114 Pretties Kit $29.95
#102283 VersaMark Pad $7.50
#113618 A Beautiful Thing $20.95

Colors- Baja Breeze, Chocolate Chip, So Saffron

I love this card. We used the baby wipe and re-inkers technique for the flowers in the background. If you’d like to learn how to do this technique contact me to schedule a workshop and I can show it to you and your guests andersoncandice@hotmail.com. The center is one of the fun new flower designer brads.

We used:
#113469 Scallop Circle #2 Die $19.95
#112583 Flower Designer Brads $6.95
#111364 So Saffron 7/8″ Poly-Twill Ribbon $8.95

Wacky Wednesday 1-28-09

Thanks so much to all of you who made it to my open house. I had a great time and I hope you did too. For those of you who couldn’t make it here is some of the fun you missed. Maybe next time you will be able to join in the fun.

Because it was and open house and there was no official hostess to give a gift to and my prize drawing was for the hostess benefits I decided to give each guest a special gift for coming. Each guest received one of these fun Good friend boxes and each was filled with a different surprise gift. Once again I used the new Good Friends Stamp Set #113740 $28.95 and the fun new Petal Pizzazz #113417 $32.95.

Then each guest had the opportunity to create 2 fun make and takes. The first used the set Just Buzzin’ By #113228 $27.95. This is one of my favorite new stamp sets. We made a card and a matching envelope. It’s hard to see but the card says “just buzzin’ by to say…” Then on the inside it says “have a honey of a day! We also stamped a cute flower on the inside.

The second project used the wonderful big shot top not die #113463 $21.95 and some of the products from the Love you Much Bundle #115405 $41.48. We used the heart to Heart Punch #113694 $15.95 and the Love You Much Stamp Set #113756 $25.95. The Bundle also includes the Candy Lane DSP#113980 $9.95 which I love so much that I didn’t have enough left to use. If you bought these products separately they would be $51.85 but you can save 20% on the bundle for just $41.48 through the end of Januray. Hurry fast time is running out.

My guest also had the chance to check out my retired sets for sale, earn chances to win the hostess benifits, visit with old and new friends and have a little bit of chocolate. We had a great time. I still have lots of sets for sale you can check them out by clicking here. Be sure to check out the great specials I have going along with them.

Marvelous Monday 1-26-09

We always get to do a fun make and take at leadership. This year I really loved what we got to make because it all coordinated together. It is part of our retro fresh style watch. It uses the fun new stamp set Good Friend #113740 $28.95. It also uses the On board So Tweet #113893 $14.95 and the DSP Good Morning Sunshine #113966 $9.95.

We made a fun box that slides out and holds these great mini tags.

Plus we made 3 fun cards. They are 5 1/4 square cards that fit in our square envelops. I love this great big size.

Everything fits nicely in the fun carrying case. Arent’ the birds just so cute.

I’m considering offering this as a class. I haven’t decided on a date yet, but if you are interested please let me know and I will get one figured out. The class would include everything you need to make all three projects plus you would get all the extras. You would get 1/2 of the designers series paper and 1/2 of the chipboard. I would also include the stamp set. This class could easily be done at home as well and I would include full color instructions. The cost would be $55.00 (including the stamp set). Please email me at andersoncandice@hotmail.com if you are interested.

Freewheeling Friday 1-23-09

This card is really fun because when you pll the string it pops up and you can set it on your counter. I’m not sure who came up with the original design, but I made this card at one of Janice’s Club nights.

It features the Big Bold Birthday set #114926 $28.95. I’m really excited because now they have a Stampin’ Up! exclusive Sizzlits’ 4-pack dies for the Big shot that match this great set 114509 $21.95. I can’t wait to get it and try it out. What fun we can have.

If you look close you can see the wheel that was rolled on the basic part of the card to create a background. (red part) Wheels are a really great way to add a little depth to a project. They are so fast and easy.

Wacky Wednesday 1-21-09

This was a swap that I got at Brandi’s meeting. I thought it was a really cute idea. It’s something fun a different so I thought it fit with Wacky Wednesday.

I love how they used to popcicle stick and how they have the worm inside the apple. I just think it’s cute.

106700 Bugs and Kisses $25.95. This set is on the dormant list which means it’s not listed in the Spring/Summer ’09 catalog but you can still purchase it. Click here to see more items on the dormant list.
