3D Project/Big Shot/Gift Item Class/Club - Wednesday, August 28

These are the fun projects we made at the 3D Project/Big Shot/Gift Item class the other night!! 

I found a couple of these ideas in the July/August 2013 Stampin' Success issue!  I just love receiving that magazine!!  I'm always able to find lots of great ideas to use for classes in there!!  And this magazine is just one of the perks of being a Stampin' Up demonstrator!!  If you purchase the Stampin' Up starter kit, you, too, can receive this awesome magazine!!


This first project is a super-cute gift enclosure card that coordinates with the gift bag below.  I CASEd this idea on Pinterest but unfortunately did not write down the creator's name... I apologize for that..... It sure is cute, though, isn't it??  We started with a 3x6 piece of Whisper White paper and added a layer of the I Am Me Designer Series Paper.  We stamped the For You (in So Saffron) and Flourish detail behind it (in Pool Party) from the Chalk Talk Stamp set and then die cut it with the coordinating Chalk Talk Framelits and the 1 3/8" circle punch.  Next, we added a Subtles Designer Button and a Basic Gray Stitched Grograin ribbon.

This next project is a fun treat holder (I liked it so much we made them for my daughter's birthday party, too - with monograms for each girl's name!).  This is truly "upcyclying" at it's best!!  We started with a brown paper bag and cut a piece 8x11, then scored it at 1" along the short side and then at 3" and 8" along the long side.  Fold the pieces together, punch the top and bottom with the scallop edge border punch and then adhere the seams together with sticky strip!  It is so fun...  and so easy!!


We also added a Tea Lace Paper Doilie to the top of the bag and then stamped the "For You" stamp (in So Saffron) from the Chalk Talk set on a 1 1/4" circle and the medallion (in Early Espresso) from the Happy Day set on a Calypso Coral 1 3/8" circle, along with adding a couple of banners made with the I Am Me Designer Series Paper.  We also added a cute "arrow" clip from the Hung Up Cute Clips and a Calypso Coral Chevron bow!!

This last project features the new Mini Muslin bags from the Holiday catalog!!  You could put just about anything inside this cute bag - perfect for any small gift!!




We cut the flowers from the Canvas Creations using the Blossom Party Originals Bigz Die and then spritzed them with a Stampin Spritzer (filled with rubbing alcohol and about 15-20 drops of Strawberry Slush re-inker).  We spritzed two flowers very heavily (the color seemed to fade as it dried, so just spritz again to add more color) and then the other flower was more lightly spritzed.   Next, we stamped "happy day" from the Happy Day set and added a Very Vintage Designer Button tied with Early Espresso Baker's Twine.  What a cute treat holder!!

Scrapbook Class/Club - Tuesday, August 27

 Here are the fun pages we made at Scrapbook Class last night!!

This first page is the second half of the 2-page spread from last month.  I am totally in love with the color Bermuda Bay right now (which just happens to be the base of this scrapbook page!).
 

We stamped "Yippee Skippee" (from the new Yippee Skippee stamp set, of course!) in Bermuda Bay and cut it out with one of the Chalk Talk Framelits, then layered another Summer Starfruit Chalk Talk Framelit behind it (just cut this piece in half and make it peak out from behind the top Whisper White layer).  Next, we added a couple of the Candy Dots from the Regals Collection.   We also added some fun scallop circles in Raspberry Ripple to the page using the new Circles Collection Framelits.

Yippee-Skippee!

The pretty bicycle DSP (as well as that fun gumball green dots DSP) is from the Birthday Basics Designer Series Paper.  We added a fun coordinating strip of the awesome new Crisp Cantalope Ruffle Stretch Ribbon to complete the look on this page!

I just had to use some of the new In Colors for these final summer/August pages.  For me, the 2013-15 In Colors just say "summer", so I really wanted to make sure to use them before summer was over!!



I love this color combination - Strawberry Slush and Coastal Cabana, with a hint of Pistachio Pudding!  And... unfortunately, you can't really tell from this picture (still need a new camera or lessons on how to properly use my camera!!), but we embossed the white piece at the bottom with the Wildflower Meadows Embossing folder!



Wildflower Meadow Textured Impressions Embossing Folder
Wildflower Meadow Embossing Folder  129376  $7.95

This first page features the 2013-15 In Color Designer Series Paper Stack as well as the Hello, Lovely Stamp Set that we received at the Stampin' Up Convention this year.  I think it will be fun to pick the pictures for this "You make me happy" page!

And there's that awesome Coastal Cabana Ruffle Stretch Trim Ribbon again!!  Along with another favorite of mine.... the new 2013-15 In Color Boutique Details!!  Those buttons are just about yummy enough to eat!!

This next page again features the 2013-15 In Color Designer Series Paper Stack and the Hello, Lovely Stamp set (for those cool "flourish" details on the corners of the 3 Strawberry Slush pieces.


And....  here's another absolute favorite of mine right now....  that beautiful dahlia from the Regarding Dahlias Stamp set!!  We stamped it in Strawberry Slush (of course!) and then added a Neutrals Collection button and some White Baker's Twine to the flower.  Unfortunately, we had to cut this flower out by hand (no framelit yet, much to the dismay of my Scrapbook Club members!!) - but, I think the effect was worth it!!

I loved this card the first time I saw it on Mary Fish's blog and knew I needed the Backyard Basics stamp set and coordinating framelits so that I could make it, too!!

The best part about this card.... the Backyard Basics stamp set and framelits are bundled together for a 15% savings when you buy them in the bundle!

We stamped the bee image in versamark ink and them embossed it with Early Espresso embossing powder.  We also added some of the gorgeous Eastern Elegance Designer Series Paper along the left side of the card and then added an oval outline around the bee image using the Oval Framelits with another pattern of the Eastern Elegance DSP.   Finally, we stamped "feel better soon" from the Express Yourself Hostess Stamp set and added an antique brad.  You, too, can own the fabulous Express Yourself Hostess Stamp set when you host a private party or class and have a qualifying party with a minimum of $150 in sales!  Contact me today to set a date for your next private party or class!!  They are so much fun!!
