Samples – Page 47 – Stampin' With Candice

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.

Stamping Sunday 1-25-09

I had a meeting on Saturday and I was asked to demonstrate and new technique. She explained it to me over the phone and sent me a few pictures then I had to figure it out. This technique was so easy and I loved it. I also love that it looks really complicated. I debated on which category to post my samples in. I finally decided on Stamping Sunday because I think I’m going to use this fun technique for club. I still have a few openings so if you want to come and learn how to do this great technique come and check out club. Click here to find out more info on club.

The technique is called faux leather so I started to think of what kinds of things I could do that would have a leathered look. My first thought was an alligator. So I started playing with punches and came up with this fun alligator. Then the page just developed from that. All the letters are also done with this great technique and then I cut them out using the big shot serif alphabet #113464 $149.95. I really love how the page turned out. I can’t wait to put some of our pictures on it from Animal Kingdom. I used the Wild About You set #115110 $25.95. The paper is #112164 Chocolate Chip Patterns DSP $9.95 and #112160 Old Olive Patterns DSP $9.95.

The project that was shown to me was a purse so this is what I came up with. Once again I used the big shot and this time I used the top note die #113463 $21.95. The basic purse is made with 2 dies and the top is done with the faux leather and then folded over. I used the awesome Filigree Designer Brads #112577 $5.95 to dress it up a bit and give it the girly girl look. Underneath the brad is a piece of Velcro so it’s easy to open. I stamped on it with Doodle This #114954 $33.95 and used Tombow Glue #110755 $3.95 to apply Dazzling Diamonds glitter #102023 $4.50 to give it a little sparkle. The butterfly is from the set Dreams du Jour #111624 $18.95. It’s wings are also touched with glitter. I filled a cellophane bag with chocolates so it makes a great gift for any girl.

My last project was these fun elephants. I got the idea from one of my favorite blogs Inking Idaho. If you want to check out the actual post you can click here. I believe it was idea from several other talented demonstrators. I believe the name of the talented person that came up with this darling nugget box is Kelly Sampson. I followed some of the links and found her website. She has a whole family of these great critters. You can check it out by clicking here. They are designed to hold a little chocolate nugget.

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.

Thrifty Thursday 1-22-09

Sometimes we think we need to get really complicated when we are scrap-booking. My up-line Amy Johnson taught me that in most cases we just need to keep it simple. Her favorite way to scrapbook is using quick strips.

Here are some fun quick strips I made with the sports stamps. A few of the items are retired, but you can see how to take the same basic idea a create different pages just by how you put them together. You can save time and money with this simple layout. Noticed how I just changed the way the strips were layed out and the accent pieces to create 4 different looks.

115010 Just Soccer $13.95

114928 Big Deal Alphabet $42.95

115006 Just Football $13.95

113510 Schoolbook Serif Alphabet $42.95

115004 Just Basketball $13.95

114998 Jumbo Outline Alphabet $42.95

115002 Just Baseball $13.95

Here is a list of some of the other great sports sets including 2 new ones. You can find all of them on pages 74 & 75 of the spring/summer ’09 catalog.

115008 Just Riding $13.95
115012 Just Surfing $13.95
115014 Just Tennis $13.95

This set is a must have for any sports page. I think I used it on all ove them.

115072 Sporting $18.95

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.
