Scentsational Season Stamp Set

Today's featured card is from one of my very dear friends and fellow demonstrators Sandy E.  from Indianapolis.  Sandy and I love to get together at our favorite coffee shopsand share tips and projects that we can duplicate.  And I am so going to duplicate this card for one of my upcoming classes! 

Sandy used one of my favorite stamp sets from the Stampin' Up! Holiday Mini called Scentsational Season (121026-wood, 121190-clear), along with the new Holiday Collection Framelits Dies 127814).  You can purchase these individually or together as a bundle (1219945-wood, 121946-clear) for a savings in price.

The Open Sea

The Open Sea

For those of you who aren't quite ready to think about the holidays yet -- after all here in Indy it is back to the 90's! -- I wanted to show you a great 'man' card my downline Debbie N. from Martinsville designed.  Debbie was my very first recruit and I am so lucky to have her on my team.  She does great work and her cards are always beautiful.  For those of you who love visiting craft fairs, she will be at the Center Grove High School craft fair with her cards this fall.

 



Debbie used The Open Sea (123030-wood, 123032-clear) stamp set and while she was going for a masculine card, I think anyone would love to receive this nautical card!  I love how the ship is peeking through the window.  Hmmm, what is the navy term for window?  I think it is porthole!  The Open Sea is a great stamp set to have -- it gives you a full range of images for designing masculine or travel-themed projects with old world appeal.

Camp Project: Frightening Feline

Hurry, there are only a few days left to take advantage of this special promotion!  During August join my team of Inky Images and become a Stampin' Up!  demonstrator and receive the FREE Howl-o-ween Printer’s Tray project.

 Okay, you didn't think I would have a stamp camp without having a project using my favorite Frightening Feline stamp set, did you?  I just had to cute this cute little kitty for a Halloween or maybe even an October birthday card!  I this time I wanted to use the Howlstooth & Scaringbone Designer Series Paper  from the Stampin' Up! Holiday Mini  for a little pop of contrast.

 

Howlstooth & Scaringbone DSP

INSTRUCTIONS

Fold a piece of 8-1/2” x 5-1/2” Very Vanilla (101650) card stock in half for your card.  Your card will be landscape.

Emboss a 5-/4” x 3-1/2” piece of Tangerine Tango (111349) card stock with the new Chevron Folder (127750) Textured Impressions Embossing Folder.  Add a piece of  5-1/4” x 2” Basic Black (121045) card stock that has been cut with the scallop from the Adorning Accents Edgelits (125595).  Adhere to front of card.

 

 

Cut a 4” x 2” piece of  Howlstooth & Scaringbone (126906) Designer Series Paper and adhere to the embossed piece of card stock along the left side.

Stamp the cat from the Frightening Feline (128105) stamp set  in the Holiday Mini.  Layer cat onto Basic Black (121045) card stock.  Add a piece of the designer paper to the bottom of the layered image.  Now add a piece of 1/2” Basic Black (124145) Scallop Dots Ribbon to the top of the stamped image.  I ended up stapling mine. Adhere stamped image to the card.

On a scrap of Very Vanilla card stock, stamp Happy Halloween from the Teeny Tiny Wishes (115370-wood, 127802-clear) stamp set. Punch out with the Modern Label Punch (119849) and adhere it to the bottom of the card.

Tip of the Week: Storing Framelits

Hurry, there are only a few days left to take advantage of this special promotion!  During August join my team of Inky Images and become a Stampin' Up!  demonstrator and receive the FREE Howl-o-ween Printer’s Tray project.

 

Framelits Storage Solution

 

I am loving all the Framelits Stampin' Up! has but I was having trouble figuring out a way to keep them in their original packaging but still together.  I am all about keeping things original in case I want to sell them when they retire.  So, my solution was to cut a magnet sheet a little smaller than the packaging and put all the framelits on it.  It tucks neatly back into the original package and everything stays together!

Gift Box with Gift Card

During August join my team of Inky Images and become a Stampin' Up!  demonstrator and receive the FREE Howl-o-ween Printer’s Tray project

 

Are you always looking for an inexpensive gift for your child's teacher or co-workers at your office?  Today's featured project is a note pad or Post It Notes holder.  We made it at last weekend's stamp camp along with a cute 3" x 3" gift card.

 

  INSTRUCTIONS

• Score a 5” x 5” piece of  Garden Green (102584) or any other coordinating card stock at 7/8” on all four sides using the Simply Scored Scoring Tool (122334). 

• Add small strips of the  Snow Festival (126908) Designer Series Paper from the Stampin’ Up! Holiday Mini to each side. 

• Punch a hole with a 3/4” Circle Punch (119873) in the center on one side.  This will create an indent that will make it easier to get the Post-It notes or notepaper out of the box.

• Pre-fold box along scored lines.  Cut into scored lines on 2 of the opposite sides (see photo).  Add adhesive to the small flaps.  Fold flaps into box. 

• Adhere a length of ribbon to the inside center of the box.  I used the new Gumball Green (126848) 3/8” Stitched Satin Ribbon. 

• On a scrap piece of  Whisper White card stock, stamp the cup from the Scentsational  Season (121026-wood, 121190-clear) stamp set with Cherry Cobbler (126966) Classic Ink.  With the Holiday Collection Framelits Dies (127812), cut out the stamped image and adhere it to the ribbon.  Add a Rhinestone Basic Jewel (119246) to the snowflake on the cup.

• Now you can add a package of 3” x 3” Post-It Notes or you can cut and stamp pieces of 3” x 3” note paper and add to the box for a more personalized gift. 

 

Be sure to stop by tomorrow and I will give you the instructions for the cute little co-ordinating card we made to go with this little box.  Happy Stamping!

Scentsational Season Stamp Set

Today's card was another project we made last weekend at my August stamp camp.  I think it was one of my favorite designs as I love gingerbread men.  I think I can almost smell them!  This card also uses many of the items from the Stampin' Up! Holiday Mini.

 

Be of Good Cheer Designer Series Paper

INSTRUCTIONS

Fold a piece of 11” x 4-1/4” Cherry Cobbler (119685) card stock in half for your card.

Adhere a 4” x 2” piece of Be of Good Cheer (126896) Designer Series Paper this piece to the bottom of the embossed piece.  Add a piece of Cherry Cobbler (124138) 1/2” Scallop Dots Ribbon and adhere it to the front of the card.

 

On another piece of  5-1/4” x 4” Whisper White card stock, stamp the Gingerbread Man from the Scentsational Season (121026-wood, 121190-clear) stamp set with Chocolate Chip (126979) Classic Ink. 

On a small piece of Whisper White card stock stamp the Gingerbread Man again 2 times.  With the Holiday Collection Framelits Dies (127812), cut out the stamped images and adhere them to the front of the card with Stampin’ Dimensionals (104430).  Punch out a Cherry Cobbler heart with Stampin’ Up! Small Heart Punch (117193) and adhere it to the front of the card with another Stampin’ Dimensional.

On a scrap of Whisper White card stock, stamp Merry Christmas from the Teeny Tiny Wishes (115370-wood, 127802-clear) stamp set.  Punch it out with the Modern Label Punch (119849) and adhere it to the bottom of the card.
