April Craft Class

Here's a picture of what we made at Craft Class yesterday.  If you'd like to have a class in this or any of the other crafts I've pictured, please let me know.  We used the Flirtatious Specialty Designer Series Paper, which, by the way, is probably going to be discontinued in the new book.

This magnetic message board is what we made at our Stampin Up Craft Class on Saturday.




The fabric used to cover the metal sheeting is the Springtime Vintage set - $9.95 on page 195 of the Idea Book & Catalog.  The flower petals are die cut from the Dresden Designs Bigz l Die - $32.95 on pg 12 of the Occasions Mini, & the middle of the flower is die cut from the Circles  #2 Original Dies - $15.95 on page 220 of the large catalog.  The round magnets were covered with a designer button - page 197.  The message board was finished off with a 12 x 12" piece of cardstock (page 177) & 5/8" of Very Vanilla satin ribbon - page 195.

Here's another one I made after I got home.

Craft Class Projects

This first one was a wall hanging from our January workshop.  The background paper was from the Everyday Enchantment Designer Series Papers from the Sale-a-bration Catalog which you can get FREE with a $50 purchase.  Also used were the letters from the Broadsheet Alphabet Stamp Set on pg 171 in the 2011-2012 Idea Book & Catalog & the large pearls on page 26 in the Occasions Mini Catalog.

 This next one was stamped on a tile with Black Craft Ink & the Apothecary Art Stamp Set (pg 24 in the Mini), then covered with clear Stampin' Emboss Powder (pg 201) & stuck in the oven (or toaster over) for 10 min. at 350 degrees.

I can't wait to find out what the project will be for next month!

Valentines



These are just a few of the Valentines I made.  The first one using one of the FREE stamp pads you can get from the Sale-a-bration Catalog with a $50 purchase.  The second one uses the Fresh Vintage Stamp Set, also FREE with a $50 purchase from the Sale-a-bration Catalog.  The heart in the third card is the P.S. I Love You Stamp Set from the Occasions Mini Catalog (pg 8).

Sale-a-Bration Kick-off Swap

I used the Fresh Vintage Stamp Set on this swap which you can get FREE with a $50 order.  Also you can get FREE the Everyday Enchantment Designer Series Paper that I used on the top half of this card.  The ribbon is on another set that you can get FREE in the Everyday Enchantment Ribbons & Brad Pack.

SU Christmas Gift

This was the home-made gift I made for our SU Christmas Party.  It was a little notebook to be used in getting ready for Christmas - for notes, lists, pictures, etc.







Regional Swaps

These are the 2 cards I took to swap at the Stampin Up Regional Meeting in San Antonio in January.  The first one was chosen by our SU CEO as one of six that she liked best.  I won a $50 SU Shopping Spree with it!!!  I used the "P.S. I Love You" stamp from our Occasions Mini Catalog (Pg 8) & the 'ribbon' was made with punching the "Scallop Trim Border" on both sides of a 1/4" strip of cardstock.  The punch is found on pg 211 in our 2011-2012 Idea Book & Catalog.  The ink colors I used were Lucky Limeade, Real Red, Calypso Coral, & Pretty In Pink.

The flower on this card was made using the Fun Flowers Bigz L Die (pg 221 in our Idea... Catalog) on the Big Shot, then sponging it with Black StazOn Ink.  On the background of both cards, I used the Perfect Polka Dots Embossing Folder (pg 219) , also using the Big Shot - one of my favorite tools!  The ribbon is the "Basic Black 1/2" Scallop Dots Ribbon", & the cardstock colors I used were Basic Black & Whisper White (pg 180).

To back track a bit, here are some Thanksgiving cards I made.
