Scrapbook Class/Club - Tuesday, November 26

 
Here are the pages we made at Scrapbook Class the other night.  The first two pages feature the Season of Style Designer Series Paper, a traditional red and green color combination for the holidays!
 

Season of Style Designer Series Paper  132340  $10.95


Here's a closer look at the first page we made....


And an even closer look at some of the embellishments we used on the page....


We stamped and punched a number of ornaments using the coordinating stamp set, Christmas Collectibles, along with the Christmas Ornament punch.  We strung those together with linen thread and added a strip of Baked Brown Sugar 3/8" Ruffle Stretch Trim above one of the candy stripe pieces of designer series paper.  Next, we stamped "Merry Christmas" from the Petite Pairs set and added a cute little ornament punch from the Merry Minis Punch Pack from the 2012 Holiday Catalog (still available AND ON SALE!, although not included in this year's Holiday Catalog).   Finally, we added an Old Olive Simply Styled Embellishment to one of the photo squares just for fun!  I love using our limited-time embellishments on our scrapbook pages, as they are preserved forever in my book then!




Christmas Collectibles Bundle  wood-mount  133282  $31.95
Christmas Collectibles Bundle  clear-mount  133283  $27.95


Baked Brown Sugar 3/8" Ruffle Stretch Trim  130022  $8.95




 Petite Pairs Stamp Set  wood-mount  128706  $28.95
Petite Pairs Stamp Set  clear-mount  122497  $20.95




Merry Minis Punch Pack  126882  $12.71




Old Olive Simply Styled Embellishment  132148  $5.95

Here's a look at our next page...


For this page, we used the Expressions Thinlits Die (Merry) for the top of the page (I picture some fun pictures of the kids opening presents for this page!) and wrapped the page like a present with the Cherry Cobbler 1" Stitched Grograin Ribbon.


 Expressions Thinlits Die  132171  $24.95



 Cherry Cobbler Grosgrain 1" Stitched Edge Ribbon  132135  $8.95



 We added a fun bow with the Gift Bow Bigz L Die (I love this die!!).  Imagine all of the bows you could make with all of that paper you have stashed away at home!!  You'd never have to buy another bow again if you had this die!!  We wrapped our bow with some Silver Glimmer Paper and added an "oh, what fun!" tag to the "present" with the Christmas Messages Stamp set and Chalk Talk framelits.




Gift Bow Bigz L Die  129977  $32.95


  
Silver Glimmer Paper  124005  $4.95


 Christmas Messages Stamp Set  wood-mount  131790  $28.95
Christmas Message Stamp Set  clear-mount  131793  $20.95


Chalk Talk Framelits  129983  $24.95 


And here's a look at our last page for the month.... We'll be making the coordinating page for this at next month's class in December. 


I have used this designer series paper, Winter Frost, on so many projects over the past few months and still haven't tired of it!  It is just gorgeous!!  We also added a strip of Silver Glimmer Paper to the top of the page and made our snowflakes with this paper as well.  The snowflakes were die-cut with the Festive Flurry framelits.  Finally, we added a little more silver sparkle with a Silver 1/8" Ribbon bow!



 Winter Frost Specialty Designer Series Paper  132341  $12.95


Festive Flurry Framelits Dies 132193  $24.95

I've been to the His Place Craft Fair, Masonic Home CROP and a fundraiser for the Breckenridge High School Drama Club/CROP.  It has been a busy few weekends, but I've thoroughly enjoyed each of the new ladies I've met!!  And....  we've had great fun putting this card together!!  They have all loved it!!

 For this great Thanksgiving card (inspiration courtesy of Kay Kalthoff), we started with a Very Vanilla card base, then added a layer of Crushed Curry embossed with the Chevron Embossing folder.  Next, we added a strips of Sweater Weather Designer Series paper and Natural 7/8" Cotton Ribbon.  We made a leaf with Chocolate Chip card stock using the Autumn Accents Bigz Die.  Finally, we stamped "Happy Thanksgiving" using the Tags 4 You Bundle - the stamp set and punch are bundled together for a 15% saving!! - how nice is that!!  Who doesn't love a sale??

Here is the 4th (and final!) card we made at class this past week. 

At this class, we make 4 cards each month. 
There is a $12 fee for the 4 cards, OR.... you can get your cards for FREE with an order!!

This All-Occasion Card Class meets the 2nd Wednesday of every month from 4-9pm and the following Friday from 1-3pm.  It's a great class for new stampers and seasoned stampers, too!!  Please join us anytime!!

This is such a fun, simple card!!  I love the "Bah Hum Bug" sentiment on the card - I'm sure we all know someone who would appreciate receiving this card!!

This stamp is from the Very Merry Tags stamp set and coordinates perfectly with the Artisan Label punch.  I did bring along my Extra-Large Oval punch and 1 3/4" Circle Punch to use with a couple of other stamps in this set, just in case someone wasn't in a "Bah Hum Bug" kind of mood!!  We added a few strips of Season of Style Washi tape and an Old Olive 1/8" Taffeta bow to finish the card.  Cute and simple!!

All-Occasion Card Class/Club - Wednesday, November 13 - Card #3

This is another one of the cards we made at class this week....

I saw this card on the Stampin Up website and knew I needed to try it.  It has a different look than I am normally drawn to, but I really like it!!   What do you think??

This card uses one of the new photopolymer stamp sets that Stampin Up is offering..  this one is called Endless Wishes.  These new photopolymer stamps are super-sticky (in a good way!), totally transparent, and give a perfectly stamped image every time! 

We start this card with a Very Vanilla card base and add two strips of Modern Medley Designer Series Paper on each side of the card.  Next, we stamped a fun snowflake/swirl image and "Christmas Wishes to you" on the card.  Finally, we splattered some crumb cake ink on the card using the Aqua Painter filled with rubbing alcohol and drops of crumb cake re-inker.


Endless Wishes Photopolymer Stamp Set (19 stamps)  133455  $13.95

Modern Medley Designer Series Paper  126926  $10.95





Aqua Painter  103954  $16.95

As always, I hope you enjoyed this card!!

Hope to see you soon!!

Masonic Home CROP

Here are a few pictures of the CROP I attended at the Masonic Home here in Alma over the weekend.  It was my first year at the CROP - and, again, I met so many fabulous ladies!!  I love sharing my passion of paper-crafting with others that have an appreciation for it as well!!

I brought my Buy One, Get One Free product along with me - you buy retired product and then get new catalog and holiday catalog product FOR FREE!!  How awesome is that!!



The make-n-take table.....  Who doesn't love a free card??


3 long tables, and I probably could have filled up more space if I'd been given more..... !!  But, as my daughter Lilly and I packed up, we realized we had some empty boxes at the end of the day - at least we left with less than we came with!!

Another successful day is on the books - now for some rest!!
