Stampin’ Up! – Page 40 – Stampin' With Candice

Club October 2009

If you missed club this month you missed a very fun and cool project. This month I showed my club members how to use the new Shimmer Paints in the Mini Catalog. These are so awesome and so much fun. I showed them two fun ways to use this awesome paint. The first is applying the paint to your stamps using a sponge dauber and then stamping as usual. It gives a really fun look to your project. The next way is by spraying it on. To do this you need to fill a 2 oz spray bottle (I got mine in the travel section) with rubbing alcohol and then adding about 12 drops of shimmer paint. I bought one bottle for each of the three colors. They actually go a long way so they could last quite a while. To apply all you do is shake it good and then spray it on. The alcohol helps it to try pretty fast.

So here is the first card that we made. We spritzed the whole card base first and we stamped on the black section behind the words. The idea was inspired by a card that I got from our swap at Brandi’s meeting it was made by Kathrine and it was actually the winning swap.

Here are the matching pages that my scrapbookers were able to make. The black part is spritzed on both pages. The cards and the pages used the Champagne Mist Shimmer Paint.

Our second card was a card that my friend Ashley made for the swap. I just loved this card and had to use it. We used the White Shimmer Paint for this one. I just love the sparkle it adds to the card.

We also made a bonus project. This card was my card swap for Brandi’s meeting. I used the window sheets to create the eyes.

Here is what the card looks like on the inside. It uses the fun pumpkin patch set from the mini catalog.

I have a new club that starts in January. If you join right now you can come to the rest of this year with no obligation. Our next club in November 11th. Just drop me a line and let me know you are planning to come so I can cut out projects for you.

Fall & Halloween Cards

This month I had the chance to help with some of the cards for our annual Queen’s of the Stampin’ Age Group meeting. I designed lots of fun fall and Halloween cards and then we picked four of them for everyone to make at the group meeting. We made a total of 24 cards plus a fun bonus project. You can check out all the other cards we got to make under samples or by clicking here.

Fall Embossed Leaf

This was one of the cards picked to make. I love that the leaf is embossed and the wood piece was made with the Big Shot and the texture dies.

Spooky Eyes

This card was one of my favorites. I used the window sheets on the back of the circles so I could put the eye on it then when you open it up it says BOO with the cute little pumpkins. This was other card that they got to make. I also loved how simple it was.

Spider Card

I love our punches and this card shows it. This cute little spider will brighten anyone’s day. Yet another fun card everyone got to make.

Circle Eek

I saw this card on a blog and just had to create it. I changed the colors, but I love the idea. You could use it for so many different kinds of cards. What a great way to use all of our circle punches. I also love it because it only uses paper so it’s easy to mail and very inexpensive to make.

Pumpkin Tower

Here was another idea that I cased from someone. Sorry I don’t remember where I found the idea. I just love these pumpkins.

Pumpkin Patch

More pumpkins. I told you I loved them. This is another cute card that I cased.

Our Patch to yours

This great card is actually the card from September’s month card kit.

Pumpkin Pile

Here’s another card from the Monthly card kit. For more information on my monthly kits click here.

Pumpkin Treats

This was our bonus project. We each got yummy candy bar to put in the back. It’s so easy to make you could make one for all your friends this Halloween. It is also the project of the month for September. It makes a great gift. You can still order any of the September kits so just let me know.

Happy Together

You may recognize this card as it was from club last month.

Give Thanks

This was the last card that we got to make. You may recognize it as well as it was last months club card. After club I just had to have this set. Now I love it. The Give Thanks comes from a level one hostess set.

Now is a great time to host a party. We can even make one of these great cards. October and November has bonus hostess gifts so give me a call today at 435-512-5321 (cell) or drop me an e-mail at andersoncandice@hotmail.com. Call soon because my dates are booking up fast.

September Club

I really love how these pages turned out. I actually took the layout from a page Mindy did last year. We focused on how to use your stamps to make your own Designer Series Paper (DSP.) Sometimes we can’t find a DSP that works or is the right colors. But many of our stamps work great for this type of project. Just grab your stamp and a few colors, then stamp randomly on the sheet. You can use them as accents just like you would DSP.

Here are the two fun cards we were able to make.

Remember Technique club is every second Wednesday at my house. It starts at 6:30 however I’m considering opening up an after noon class is there is any interest. Let me know. I have a new club starting in January. Anyone who joins now can come to the rest of this year with no obligation to buy until January. Plus you will get chance to win the hostess benefits.
