May Club- DSP

May club was lots of fun. We focused on the Designer Series Paper promotion that is going on this month. The deal is buy 3 get on free on any of our Designer Series Paper, Designer Prints Paper and Textured Card-stock. I love our DSP so I’m really excited about this promotion. It ends May 31st so there is still time for you to get in on this great promotion.

The paper that I chose to showcase is the the Walk in the Park from the Occasions Mini Catalog. I used the layout design from page 6 of the mini catalog as my inspiration. Because I was making a two page layout I actually split the design across the two pages. I wanted to use the Textured card-stock so I used it as the pieces that were punched. It adds a nice texture to the page. Both the large butterfly and the forever card-stock were cut out with the big shot.

I also created a card that matched the theme from the pages. Remember that when you are using DSPyou can use it as just an accent on your page or card. You don’t need to make the entire project out of it. One of my favorite parts is how fun the butterfly looks under the ribbon. You may have noticed the words in the oval. The original saying is thank you. We used the markers to color just the edge and the butterfly. Then we used “Friend” from Fundamental Phrases to add the word. This technique is great to make a variety of different cards with any saying that you want.

This last card was a design that I cased from a card we made at Amy’s meeting last month. I loved the layout and thought it would work great with the DSP. As you can see I’ve only used the DSP for the butterfly and the small background pieces behind it. Because the DSP is thin you can actually corner round all three of the small strips at the same time.

April Club- Just Beachy

This 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.

I 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.

Here 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.

This 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.

We 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.

Since 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.

*115123 Walk in the Park DSP $9.95

*113796 Just Beachy $25.95
*113837 Lazy Days Jumbo Wheel $8.50

A Sad Day

Yesterday was a sad day for me as I found out several of my favorite presenters at Stampin’ Up!®were among the many that were let go on April 15th. Due to hard economic times Stampin’ Up! had to make this very difficult decision. I know that Shelli’s heart is broken over the whole ordeal. I’m grateful for such a wonderful leader that understands that sometimes difficult things need to be done to preserve the company. I know that we may not understand everything behind their decisions, but I trust that they did what was best. I know that we will really miss these presenters at Convention. I want to personally thank all of the employees that this effected as well as the ones that are still there. I know that you put your heart and soul into this company and we appreciate you very much. I love this company. I hope that all of you will have these people in your hearts as well as all the others out there. I know that they are among the many that are in my prayers.

For those of you who don’t know my husband, Marc has been out of work for the last 6 months. I’ve been very grateful for the Stampin’ Up! opportunity and that it has provided us a way to help make ends meet. I’m also very grateful for all of you who have supported me and hope that you will continue to do so. As April 15th was a sad day for many Stampin’ Up! employees it was actually a very happy day for me. Marc was offered a good job. I know it’s not quite what he was making, but it’s definitely going to help turn things around for our family. I’m grateful that I still have Stampin’ Up! to make up the difference. Please let me know if there is any way that I can help you. I have spoken to many of you and know that times are difficult for all of us. Please know that you are also in my prayers and I appreciate each and every one of you.

I know many of you probably don’t know about the wonderful presenters that I’m talking about. The three that I know of that were let go are Linda Hansen, Jaron Winders and Lori. I’m sure many of you have heard me talk about these wonderful presenters at Stampin’ Up! events. I know that Jaron’s work has also been in many of the catalogs. Their talents will be missed. Both Jaron and Linda have blogs if you are interested in learning more about these awesome individuals. They truly will be missed by many. I have so much respect for them and their positive outlook towards Stampin’ Up! To see the blogs just click on one of the links below. I’ve also included the link to Shelli’s blog where you can read more about her thoughts. Be sure to check out the comments on each of these sites and you will see how much they are loved. Stampin’ Up! truly is an awesome company to be a part of.
