Stampin’ Up! – Page 24 – Stampin' With Candice

See you later Alligator

How cute are these alligators. They go so perfect with the Sale-a-bration stamp set and embossing folder.

I saw a card similar to this one on Pinterest made by one of the artisans and I just new I had to give it a try. When I first started I though that she had used the punch to create it but quickly realized it was a die because it was larger than the punch. However I was inspired to try making one with the punch as well.

I started with 5 alligators made with my punch then it was time to play a bit and see what I could come up with. This was my first card. I originally thought I was going to use all 5, but after playing with it a bit I ended up using the banners from the Sale-a-bration. I love how it turned out.

Since I had some alligators left over I decided to try another card. I thought he would look cute in a circle so I came up with this fun card. I love using the different background stamps to create a unique background. The washi tape set is fun because it gives you the washi tape look in your choice of colors.

I really love the different texture in these cards created by the embossing folders, designer series papers and punches. I also love using the clay molds to create an accent in the prefect color for my project.

Monster Birthday Card

This was one of the cute cards from my Stampin’ Buffet last month. I really love this monster set, I’m so glad I finally got it. I’m also in love with this designer series paper. I’ve had way to much fun with it. I just really like the color combination. It’s great for fun vibrant cards. It’s also really good for boy cards which I tend to find a bit harder to create.

Here’s a little bit more close up of the monster. I colored him with a blender pen. I used dimensionals to make the balloon and the hat really pop. I also used them behind the Happy Birthday. Do you love how the fun retro paper works so well with this embossing folder? I do.

Signature Stamps in MDS

Last year my grandmother passed away and I had the opportunity to create a book for our family to remember her. My Digital Studio made this so easy. I had all our friends and family send me pictures of Grandma. Once I had those I was ready to go. I started with the template Sweet Details which comes with MDS. I made a few changes to add in additional photo boxes to fit in all those great pictures everyone sent and added words that worked well with the pictures. I also left plenty of room for signatures.

Once I had the book ready to go I printed at a local printers and placed it in smooth sheet protectors. We took the book to the funeral and had everyone sign on the sheet protectors with a sharpie marker and write a special memory about my Grandma.

After the funeral I took the book home and flipped the pages over so that all I had was the signature with a white background. I scanned these into the computer then used Photoshop to delete out the white background and turn the image into a SVG file. SVG file is the same type of file that MDS uses to create stamps in the program. I saved all of my signatures in MDS under stamps and I was ready to go.

I added each signature to the pages. This was really nice because I was able to change the colors to make them match, re-size if needed and even move to a different page to spread things out. I also moved embellishments and pictures if necessary to make all the signatures look good with the pages and pictures.

After I had everything in I was able to print the book through Stampin’ Up! to have a nice finished book. We actually printed like 15 books so that each family could have book of their own and have all the great pictures plus memories. I love it because everyone was able to have this special book instead of just one person.

I think this idea is perfect for family reunions, special birthdays, weddings, graduations really just about any special occasion that many people would love to have the memory. I plan on making one for my son that is graduating this year and have friends and family write special messages. I think this would also be great if your child is part of a team like band, cheer, dance or any group they spend a lot of time with. You can create a book with pictures from the events and messages from all the participants then add it all together so everyone can have a special memory book.

I know this is a little advanced but I wanted to share it anyway because it just really gets me excited. If you would be interested in my creating a book like this for your event please let me know. I’d be happy to help you, or if you would like to make one of your own I’d be happy to help you with the steps as well. Hopefully you’ll find lots of great uses for this idea. I even think it would be fun to have your kids write a message each year that you could add to the family year book and have their handwriting preserved from year to year and see how it changes. If you have any questions please let me know.
