Stampin' Up Retiring Stamp Set - Snow Swirled


This is the first Holiday card I ever made......  It was my Holiday 2008 Christmas Card!!  Seems like a long time ago now.....  I tried to keep it simple and cost-effective by using a strip of DSP at the bottom of the tree rather than the coordinating ribbon that was available at the time.  I think it turned out pretty well for my first attempt!
And now the stamp set that I used to make this card is retiring on June 3!!



The stamp set is called Snow Swirled!!

Scrapbook Class/Club - Tuesday, April 30

Here are the projects we'll be making at the Scrapbook Class next week on Tuesday, April 30 at 7pm!!
I thought it would be fun to use the new Designer Series Paper from the This and That product line this month.  You can get the bundle of This and That products (the Epic Day This and That Journal, which is like a Smash book, and the Epic Day This and That Designer Series Paper, Rotary Stamp, Designer Stickers and Washi Tape) at a 15% discount through April 30.  That's 5 awesome products for only $32.08!!   And...  that rotary stamp is so fun....  I thought they were basically extinct until I saw one being used at our local library!!


Epic Day This and That Bundle
Epic Day This and That Bundle  133350  $32.08


Ok, so on to this month's scrapbook pages.....

I loved the idea of a "SMILE" page.  The possibilities are endless on the pictures that will fit on this page......  We made the title with the Typeset Alphabet Bigz Die (this is a great item to get as a half-off item when you reach $400 in sales at a private class you migh host!) and then made the fun flowers with the Floral Frames Framelit Dies.  A couple of pieces of the Epic Day Designer Series paper (also sold separately rather than in the bundle), some Basic Gray/Basic Black 1 1/4" Two-Tone ribbon and a cute arrow clip from the Hung Up Cute clips finish the page!

Typeset Alphabet Bigz Die

Hung Up Cute Clips
Hung Up Cute Clips  129389  $4.95
Our second page also features the Epic Day DSP....  AND the Epic Day Washi Tape!!  You can use the tape (which removes without much effort if you'd like to reposition it!) to attach ticket stubs, photos, anything you can think of!!

Here's an up-close shot of one of the washi tapes in crumb cake.  The "best day EVER" stamp is from that fun rotary stamp I mentioned earlier.  Both of these items are also sold separately.  We also punched a couple of Bitty Butterflies with the new Bitty Butterfly punch and added a few "tickets" made with the Ticket Duo punch!!

Our last page is the other half of last month's one page spread.


It features the Tea for Two Designer Series Paper.  I am in absolute LOVE with this paper!!  I am just hoping it might be continued on to the new Annual catalog....
Tea for Two Designer Series Paper
Tea for Two DSP  129311  $10.95
We also used some of the Natural 7/8" Trim Ribbon and the Delicate Details Lace Tape (which is also repositionable) on the top of the page.

7/8" Natural Trim Ribbon  129287  $6.95

For a final touch, we added a beautiful flower with the Oh, Hello set and the 5/8" Flower Trim (the flower was lightly pressed into the Calypso Coral ink to add just a touch of color!).  The flower is mounted on a couple of pieces die-cut with the Oval Framelits.



 Oh, Hello Bundle Clear

3D Project/Big Shot Class - Thursday, April 25

Here are the projects we'll be making this week on Thursday, April 25 at 7pm at the 3D Project/Big Shot Class!!  I thought this would be a fun Mother's Day gift!!
We learned how to make this great paper bow on the Kraft Box at the Stampin' Up Convention last year.  I love how it looks and was excited to finally have a good reason to make one for class!!  You start with 4 strips of card stock.  They mention that you should cut the paper along the grain to make it easier to curl with the bone folder.  I could definitely tell which pieces I had cut against the grain because they didn't want to curl nearly as well as the others!!
First, flag the ends of the 1" x 5 1/4 piece with a square punch.  Next, adhere together in a circle (after you curl with the bone folder) the 1" x 7" piece and the 1" x 8 1/2" piece.  Lay them all on top of each other and then wrap a 5/8" x 3" piece around the middle of them all!!  Attach a Vintage Faceted button (tied with Linen Thread), and you're all set!!
We also used the inside circle pieces from the wood-mount Daydream Medallions set to stamp those cute Real Red circles on the Kraft Box.  What a fun idea!!  I have always thrown those "extra" pieces out, but not anymore!!

I CASEd these cards from Mary Fish's blog a long time ago and am happy to be able to share them with you now!!  Each mini 3x3 card is stamped with various flower images from the Bright Blossoms set.  The greetings are from the Made for You set.  We also embossed the bottom of each card with the Needlepoint Embossing Folder.  Finally, we used Real Red, Old Olive and Early Espresso stamp pads and markers for each card as well.  We made each of the envelopes (from the Brights Collection Designer Series Paper Patterns Stack) with the Simply Scored Scoring Tool and the Diagonal Score Plate.  Just cut 5" x 5" pieces of the DSP, and score at 2 3/4" along all sides, then fold together and adhere!!

I saw a verion of this card on Stampin' Connection from Brenda Rivera.  I changed the colors to coordinate with our theme, and here you go!!

We start with a Whisper White card base, then add another layer of Whisper White embossed with the Cloudy Day Embossing folder on top and a strip of the Bright Collection DSP Patterns Stack on the bottom of the card. We framed our beautiful flowers with the Labels Collection framelits and the Designer Frames Embossing Folders. Finally, we added an Old Olive border with the Scallop Edge Border punch and then tied a pretty Whisper White Organza ribbon to the card!
