Scrapbook Class/Club - Tuesday, September 30


These are the fabulous scrapbook pages we're making tonight at class (not sure if I'm more excited about the pages or the fact that I'm getting this blog post done on time!! - it's been a while!!).


This first page features the Motley Monsters Designer Series Paper, the Fall Fest Stamp Set and Fun Fall Framelits.


I love the fun, bright colors of this Designer Series Paper - they served as the inspiration for the colors of the card stock (Crushed Curry) and the pumpkins and leaves (Tangerine Tango and Crushed Curry) on this page.




Motley Monsters Designer Series Paper   135819  $10.95



We added a White & Tangerine Tango Two-Tone Baker's Twine bow to the top of one of the pieces.



White & Tangerine Tango Two-Tone Trim  135838  $4.95




Here's a closer look at those cute pumpkins - we stamped each pumpkin in Tangerine Tango ink and then chose a face for the pumpkin (a separate stamp) and inked that in Tuxedo Black Memento Ink.  Next, we die-cut each pumpkin (and the leaves) using the Fun Fall Framelits.  You can buy the stamp set and framelits separately, or purchase them in a bundle and save 15%!!

These pumpkins are then added to Whisper White circle (die-cut with the Circles Collection Framelits) and layered on top of a Tangerine Tango Starburst piece (die-cut with the Starburst Framelits).




Fall Fest Photopolymer Stamp Set  135194  $15.95



Fun Fall Framelits  135856  $24.95




Fall Fest Photopolymer Bundle  137628  $34.75




Circles Collection Framelits  130911  $26.95




Starburst Framelits  132967  $26.95


Here's a look at our next page (of course, it coordinates with our first page!).....


This time we used the Tangerine Tango card stock to accent the page.  I can't wait for Halloween so that I can add some fun pictures of the kids to these pages!!



And here's the last page we'll make at class today....

This page features the new Color Me Autumn Designer Series Paper.

I just love this new stamp set, For All Things!!




We stamped the leaves in Cajun Craze ink and the watermark smudge in Sahara Sand ink.  Next, we added some Color Me Autumn Washi Tape and a Gold Basic Metal Button tied with a Linen Thread bow.

These are our 4 fabulous Nordic Noel Holiday Stamp-a-Stack cards!!

We had so much fun putting these cards together on Sunday!!




So,  I've decided to offer this class again (just in case you missed it!!)  on....

Thursday, October 16

6-9pm

RSVP and pre-pay by Tuesday, October 7!!

Each card is so bright and cheerful....  I think anyone you know would love to receive these holiday cards!!


This first card really is all about that fun Nordic Noel Designer Series Paper!!

We cut a 3x5 piece of the printed house DSP and attached it to a piece of 4 x 5 1/4" piece of Real Red card stock.  We also stamped that cute sleigh and reindeer (from the Holiday Home Stamp Set) in Soft Suede ink on a strip of Soft Sky card stock.. Then, we stamped "merry christmas" (also from the Holiday Home Stamp Set), die-cut it with the Bitty Banner Framelits and added a star (with rhinestone inside!).  
Super simple, yet sooooo cute!!

There's a trick to this next card (not sure if you can tell on this picture!!).  We punched out the tree image using the Tree Punch, then layered a piece of the Garden Green Polka Dot DSP (from the Nordic Noel Designer Series Paper) behind the punched image!

We also embossed the Whisper White layer with our Lucky Stars Embossing folder and added a Real Red 3/8" Satin Woven Ribbon bow to the card.  Finally, we stamped "sparkle" from the Good Greetings Stamp Set (have your name entered into a drawing to win this stamp set every time you put a $50 order in anytime between now and October 31!!), punched it out with the Word Window Punch and then layered that on top of a Real Red Modern Label Punched piece.

I love the candy cane stripe of the DSP on this next card!!  And, of course, it coordinates perfectly with that super-cute Nordic Designer Button!

We started this card with a Soft Sky card base, then added that strip of candy cane striped DSP (from the Nordic Noel Designer Series Paper).  Next, we stamped "There's no Happy like holiday Happy" from the Mingle All the Way Stamp Set in Real Red ink.  This piece (along with the Real Red piece behind it) was die-cut with the Banner Framelits

And here's the last card we made at class....

I love the rich color of this Garden Green Card Stock (which is the base for this card)!!  We added a piece of the Nordic Noel Designer Series Paper along the bottom of the card and a strip of Real Red 3/8" Satin Woven Ribbon.

Next, we stamped "christmas cheer" (from the appropriately-named Christmas Cheer Stamp set) in Garden Green ink.  This piece (along with the Real Red piece behind it) was die-cut with the Deco Labels Collection Framelits.  Finally, we added some pearls to each of the evergreen boughs on the stamped image.
Simple, yet beautiful!

Paper Pumpkin Night Out (September 2014 Paper Pumpkin) - Thursday, September 25


Here's a peak at the fun Halloween treats we made

with our September 2014 Paper Pumpkin kit, Bootiful Bags.










Each kit included 6 burlap bags (3 polka dot and 3 stripe).  We chose which stamp (BOO!, Eat Something Sweet or Happy Halloween) and self-adhesive die-cut (crow, skull bones, bat or scary tree!) to put on our tags, then added them to the bag with some Pumpkin Pie Sequin trim, Basic Black Baker's Twine and a cute coordinating Clothes Pin!









It will be fun to decide who will receive these cute treats for Halloween this year!!

We also made 2 additional cards at our Paper Pumpkin Night Out down at the studio - they're simple cards that use the remaining pieces from our kit.  It's fun to find other uses for our remaining pieces, and always fun to make a card or two!



We also used the Gorgeous Grunge Stamp Set on one of the cards.....

Those water splotches and skid marks add the perfect effect to our spooky Halloween cards!!



Gorgeous Grunge Stamp Set  wood-mount  130514  $24.95
Gorgeous Grunge Stamp Set  clear-mount 130517  $17.95


I hope you enjoyed these projects!!
