Stampin' Bingo!!


Hi everyone!  I wanted to share a fun event that we held down at the Gathering Inkspiration Stamp Studio last week.....

It's called Stampin' Bingo!!!

We play bingo, AND we make cute cards!  What could be better than that??




Here's a peak at the awesome prizes that were given away to our Bingo winners throughout the night.  Just look at all of that fun product from our new Holiday Catalog :).

Everyone always loves to win FREE product!






Each person that attended Bingo also went home with ALL of this that night (on top of their Bingo winnings!!).....




I always like to give a little something to each person that attends.  This time, everyone received a sampler pack of the Quilted Christmas Designer Series Paper and a cute stocking (filled with candy!) that I made with the Trim Your Stocking Thinlits and the Tags & Trimmings Stamp Set.  The stocking also features some of the Quilted Christmas DSP (that cute plaid paper!) on the top, toe and heal of the stocking.   You can buy the stamp set and thinlits separately, or save 10% when you buy them in the bundle!  I got that cute stocking idea from a post on Erica Cerwin's Pink Buckaroo Design's blog - she makes the cutest projects!!  And... I tied some of my favorite ribbon, the Quilted Xmas Ribbon, around the Designer Series Paper - I just love the stripes on that ribbon!

Here's a look at the place setting for each person before they arrived....


I meant to take pics of people playing bingo and doing their make-n-takes, but I forgot!  I get too excited with all of the events of the evening - someday I'm going to remember to take those pictures!!

Wood Words Scrapbook Pages


These are 2 of the scrapbook pages we made at class last month...

I just love designing these pages....  It's fun to use elements from cards and other ideas I see on Pinterest and try to incorporate them into Scrapbook Pages.

I like to start with either a suite of products or a pack of Designer Series Paper and let the inspiration come from there!

Can you guess which product suite I used on these pages??  Read on to learn about it!



We start our first page with a Whisper White base, then added a full sheet of Night of Navy cardstock to our page.  We also added a strip of the Burlap Ribbon along the bottom of our Night of Navy piece.

Next, we stamped some fun (Real Red) hearts along the side of our page using the Wood Words Stamp Set.  I love the texture that these hearts seem to have - kind of like they've been weathered a bit.

Wood Words Stamp Set  143925/143928




Then, we die-cut our crate using the Wood Crate Framelits and a piece of Wood Textures Designer Series Paper.  I think these crates are just too cute!  And...  you can purchase the Wood Crate Framelits and Wood Words Stamp Set separately, or save 10% when you buy them in the bundle.

We stamped some pretty flowers on our Whisper White piece using the Daisy Delight Stamp Set.  First, we stamped the flower outlines in Crushed Curry Ink, then the color/wash inside the outlines in Daffodil Delight ink and then the stems in Old Olive Ink.

We also stamped "Farmer's Market" (from the Wood Words Stamp Set) in Night of Navy Ink and punched it out with a 1 1/4" Circle Punch.

The finishing touch is that cute Copper Trim bow :).

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



This time we stamped some fun polka dots in Night of Navy ink (also from the Wood Words Stamp Set) on our Whisper White base, then added a full sheet of Real Red card stock to our page.



Next, check out this fun element on our 2nd page...

It almost looks like something you could put on top of a canning jar :).



First, we added a 1/2 sheet of the Wood Textures Designer Series Paper to the bottom of our page.

Next, we stamped that fun rooster and "Hello Friend" in Real Red ink.  Both images can be found in the Wood Words Stamp Set.  We die-cut our rooster with the Wood Crate Framelits and punched out our sentiment with the Classic Label Punch.

We also stamped those gorgeous flowers in Night of Navy ink (from the Wood Words Stamp Set) and die-cut this circle with the Stitched Shapes Framelits.

Then, we die-cut a Real Red scallop circle and a Night of Navy circle using the Layering Circle Framelits.  We layered all of this together and added it to a Delicate White Doily.

A couple of finishing touches complete our look...

-a bow tied with Linen Thread and a Brights (Real Red) Enamel Shape to hold it in place

-and a little strip of that super-cute Night of Navy Gingham Ribbon!
