Scrapbook Class/Club - Tuesday, April 29


Here are the pages we made at Scrapbook Class this month....


This first page is the counter-part to the last page we made at the March Scrapbook class.  I just love the soft, spring colors on this page!!  We stamped those beautiful flowers (from the Field Flowers Stamp Set) in Crushed Curry ink.


The Afternoon Picnic Designer Series Paper helps set the perfect mood on this beautiful spring page.  We also added a Very Vintage Designer Button tied with some Linen Thread and adhered each of the Vanilla pieces with our Retro Fresh Washi Tape.

Here are the next two pages we made at class this month.....



They feature the High Tide Designer Series Paper from the Occasions Catalog.  It's the perfect paper to capture those spring break memories (at a beach, perhaps??).



We stamped "hello, sailor" in Summer Starfruit ink (from the Hello, Sailor stamp set), punched it out with the 1 1/4" circle punch and then sponged the edges with Pacific Point ink.  This piece is layered on top of two pieces die-cut with the Apothecary Accents Framelits dies (we just cut the Pacific Point piece in half and spread it out behind the Whisper White piece).  We also stamped the anchor and wheel images from the Hello, Sailor stamp set on the Whisper White piece.  Finally, we put a "swoosh" of Summer Starfruit 1 1/4" Striped Grograin Ribbon behind this piece.  I love this effect!!

Here we stamped "You're My Best Mate", also from the Hello, Sailor Stamp set, die-cut it with an Apothecary Accent Framelit and then added another Apothecary Accent Framelit behind it in Summer Starfruit.


On the bottom of this page, we added a fun strip of the High Tide Designer Series Paper and added some "waves" with the Large Scallop Edgelit.  We also cut one of the fun glass bottles out of the High Tide DSP and stamped the wheel from the Hello, Sailor set in Pacific Point ink.  We die-cut this piece with the Starburst Framelits and added a Mini Silver Button to the middle of it.

Paper Pumpkin Kit from March 2014


I'm officially caught up!! (as of this blog post writing, my April Paper Pumpkin kit has not yet arrived!!).
Do you want to make any bets on when I'll get my April kit put together??

And, don't forget....  Some of the past Paper Pumpkin kits are still available.  Just click here to see which kits are available (while supplies last!), then contact me at amy.frillici@yahoo.com or (989) 330-0259 to let me know which kit(s) you'd like, and I'll get them ordered for you!!

These cards are from the Glittered Greetings Paper Pumpkin kit....



Gold accents seem to be all the rage right now!!  And the thin chipboard pieces that say "thank you" and "congrats" make quite a statement on these cards!!



Turn the card side-ways and you get a different effect......



Or... add a fun Tangerine Tango piece die-cut with the Starburst Framelits, and you get a totally different effect....



Starburst Framelits  132967  $26.95

As you can see, it's pretty simple to change things up a bit if you have a few extra supplies!!  Or make the projects exactly as the kit is intended!!  The choice is yours!! 


I hope you enjoyed these Paper Pumpkin projects!!

Paper Pumpkin Kit from January 2014


As I'm sure you are well aware of by now, I got waaaay behind on putting my Paper Pumpkin kits together.....

For this kit, I asked for a friend's help!!  She told me she had seen a really cute Paper Pumpkin banner on Pinterest and was interested in that kit (but she wasn't actually signed up for the Paper Pumpkin subscription herself yet).  When we realized it was actually the Love Notes Monthly Kit (that was intended to make cards), I offered for her to put the kit together (I'm sure I told her I was waaaaay behind on putting my Paper Pumpkin kits together!), in exchange for her to be able to use the banner at her son's graduation party this spring.  What a great deal for both of us!!

So, here's the Love Notes Monthly (card) Kit made into a super-cute banner.....








I hope you enjoyed this Paper Pumpkin project!!

  As I've also mentioned, I'll be posting pictures of each of the remaining kits over the next few weeks, so check back often to get your next preview!!

Downline Meeting/Service Project Event - Tuesday, April 22


Here are the fun cards we made at our 2nd Downline Meeting and Service Project Event on Tuesday.....



We are donating all of the cards we made (about 50 this month!!) to the local cancer center.  We loved the idea of being able to provide hand-made cards for the cancer center so that the friends and family of the cancer patients could send them a hand-made card to brighten their day (even just a little bit!).


This beautiful card starts with a Wisteria Wonder card base, then we added a Very Vanilla layer.  Next, we die-cut those beautiful butterflies with the appropriately-named Beautiful Butterflies Bigz Die and then added the polka dots with the Perfect Polka Dots Embossing folder.  Finally, we added a layer of the Afternoon Picnic Designer Series Paper and some Rhinestones.





Beautiful Butterflies Stampin' Up! Bigz Die
Beautiful Butterflies Bigz Die  114507  $21.95


Perfect Polka Dots Textured Impressions Embossing Folder Die
Perfect Polka Dots Impression Folder  117335  $7.95


Afternoon Picnic Designer Series Paper

Here is the other card we made that night....



This card starts with a Crumb Cake card base, then we added a layer of Very Vanilla stamped with the En Francais Background Stamp (retiring, and already sold out, unfortunately!).  Next, we stamped "So Sorry" from the So Sorry Stamp Set (also sold out!!) and then added those gorgeous flowers from the Field Flowers Stamp set (retiring, but not sold out as of this blog post!!).  Finally, we added a 3/8" Taffeta Crumb Cake ribbon (retiring, and already sold out, too!) to the card.
Field Flowers
Field Flowers Stamp Set  wood-mount  128583  $24.95
Field Flower Stamp Set  clear-mount  122762  $17.95

We have been having such a great experience making these cards together each month.  If you'd like to join us in May, we'll be meeting on Thursday, May 29 at 7pm at the Gathering Inkspiration Stamp Studio to make more cards to donate.  I think the local cancer center is set with cards for a little while now, so we'll be making and donating them to another deserving organization in our area in May.  If you have any suggestions for donations, please let us know!!

Hope to see you soon!!
