3D Project/Big Shot Class/Club - Wednesday, March 27

Here are the projects we made at the 3D Project/Big Shot class this week!!  We featured the Fan Fair Designer Series Paper this month - the pages have a great travel theme - perfect for capturing memories from your next Spring Break trip!!  You could keep this travel journal/photo book for yourself or give it to a friend along with one of these fabulous coordinating cards!!

Fan Fair Designer Series Paper
Fan Fair Designer Series Paper 126918  $10.95
For our first project (CASEd from Anne Farrar on Stampin' Connection), we stamped the bike and flower image in Island Indigo, then added a few strips of Fan Fair DSP - these 2 products coordinate so well together!!  We actually received both of these products (the Postage Due stamp set and Fan Fair DSP) as a pillow gift while on our Getaway Weekend Incentive trip to Hilton Head Island last September!  It was such a fun surprise to find these items on our pillow that night :).
We also stamped the 2 cent stamp in More Mustard, then punched it with the Postage Stamp Punch.  Finally, we mounted that on an Island Indigo 1 1/4" square punch and added some linen thread.  This card just looks like summer!!  Here, in Michigan, we are just experiencing our first days of spring - but summer will be on it's way very shortly!!
Postage Due Wood-Mount Stamp Set

Here's the fun travel journal/photo holder I mentioned earlier!  We used some of the thick cardboard pieces you receive with various embellishments as our base, then attached some of the Fan Fair DSP with the Tombow adhesive to the front and back covers.  We made a fun flower with the 1 1/4" scallop circle punch and LOTS of hot glue and scallop circles - I saw this idea for the flower in an issue of Stampin' Connection last year - you use the Silicone Craft Sheet to assemble the flower - the hot glue stays perfectly in place on the silicone sheet (without burning your fingers!) and then gives you both hands to work with (rather than having to hold the flower in place with one hand!).  Then we added a Naturals Designer Button and some linen thread!

We embellished the inside with various pieces of the printed Fan Fair Designer Series Paper, splattered some pages with ink and the Color Spritzer Tool, and added a few punched images from the Postage Due Stamp set.

We also included some Crumb Cake envelopes inside the journal to hold additional photos, journaling and trip memorabilia!

Finally, we tied some 5/8" Crochet Trim around the back cover and added some more pieces of the printed Fan Fair Designer Series Paper - everyone just chose their favorite pieces, cut them out and added them wherever the liked!  We each ended up with a unique travel journal/photo book for our next trip!


I was enjoying this stamp set so much I couldn't stop at just one card...
We also made this fun birthday card (CASEd from Wendie Waldman on Stampin' Connection) - perfect for that summer birthday!!  This time we added a strip of Island Indigo card stock embossed with the Argyle Embossing folder.  We also stamped "happy birthday" with the Itty Bitty Banners Stamp set and die-cut it with the Bitty Banner Framelits and added two 1/8" Mini Brads to complete the card!

Scrapbook Class/Club-Tuesday, March 26

 Here are the pages we'll be making tomorrow night at Scrapbook Class!!

I just love finding the perfect designer series paper for the mood of the month - in this case, it's the Sunshine & Sprinkles DSP from the Spring Catalog - aren't those umbrellas cute?? - perfect for an "April Showers" page, I thought!
Sunshine & Sprinkles Designer Series Paper
Sunshine & Sprinkles DSP  126922  $10.95
We stamped the "April Showers" theme with the Notable Alphabet set in Daffodil Delight, Lucky Limeade, Marina Mist, Melon Mambo and Pacific Point ink, then added a cute border along the bottom with the Finishing Touches Edgelits Die.

Another favorite of mine from the Spring Catalog.... and one that also fit the mood perfectly...  the umbrella stamps featured in the Rain or Shine Stamp set.  We stamped ours here in Marina Mist and Basic Gray, then mounted them with the new Oval Framelits, and added a silver mini brad on the top of the umbrella.  You may also notice the Melon Mambo 3/8" Striped Organdy Ribbon along the edge of the photo - it also comes in Marina Mist (which we used on the page below) and Old Olive!!

Our next page also features the Sunshine & Sprinkles DSP and Marina Mist 3/8" Striped Organdy Ribbon, as well as a few other fun items!!

This pinwheel is so easy to make with the new Pinwheel Sizzlits Die from the Spring Catalog!!  We also used the Finishing Touches Edgelits die again (the other die cut in the pack of two) on the "grass" at the bottom of the page.

And... aren't the little clips just adorable??  These are the Elements Cute Clips in the Spring Catalog - they come in the shape of a whale, heart or bird!!

Our last page features the Tea for Two Designer Series Paper, also found in the Spring Catalog.

We also stamped a beautiful flower from the Collage Curios stamp set - actually we used the Island Indigo and Lucky Limeade markers for the flower and stamped the cursive words in the background in So Saffron ink.  We punched the flower with the 1" circle punch and mounted it on the 1 1/4" Scallop Circle punch and added a Tea Lace Paper Doily to complete the dainty look of the page - it might be a great page for some Easter photos!!

We start with a Bashful Blue card base (which I have not used in a very long time!- and such a great spring-time color!) and added a strip of the beautiful Tea for Two Designer Series Paper.  We also stamped "so glad we're here for each other" (from the Bloomin' Marvelous Sale-a-Bration set - a FREE item with any $50 order) in basic gray, then used our markers (Bashful Blue, So Saffron, Island Indigo and Gumball Green) to color in the flag from the Oh, Hello set - I love the look of this card and hope you do, too!
