Tutorial: Lookin' Sharp Card

 

 

Today's card features the Truly Tailored Stamp Set and the Tailored Tag Punch.  I thought it would make a great masculine birthday, Father's Day or graduation card.  It also uses the True Gentelman Designer Series Paper.  All can be found in the Stampin' Up! Occasions Catalog.  Visit my Stampin' Up! Online Store today to place your order!

1. Score a piece of 8-1/2” x 5-1/2” Night of Navy card stock at 4-1/4” and set aside.
2. Emboss a piece of 4” x 5-1/4” Very Vanilla card stock with the Scattered Sequins Dynamic Embossing Folder. 
3. Adhere a piece of 2” x 4” True Gentleman Designer Series Paper to the front of the Very Vanilla card stock. Add a strip of Basic Gray card stock and a gray ribbon to the card stock.  Adhere to the front of the card.
4. Stamp “Lookin’ Sharp” from the Truly Tailored stamp set using Tranquil Tide ink.  Trim around the image using scissors.  Using the Tailored Tag Punch,  punch out a Tranquil Tide background and adhere the stamped piece onto it.  Adhere to the front of the card using Stampin’ Dimensionals.
5. Stamp the glasses from the Pocketful of Sunshine stamp set onto Night of Navy card stock in Black Ink and cut out using the Pocket Framelits Dies. Adhere to the front of the card.

Inspiration High Tide Card from On Stage Swaps

 

Today I wanted to show you a really beautiful card I received from the Milwaukee Stampin' Up! Onstage.  I fell in love with this card when I saw it and was excited to be able to swap with the demonstrator who made it.  It was designed by "Deb" but I do not know her last name or where she is from.  Thank you, Deb, for this beautiful swap!  

 

Created by "Deb"

 

This card uses the High Tide Stamp Set from the Stampin' Up! Annual Catalog.  Do you hear the beach calling your name?  It sounds a lot like what you hear when these stamps are calling to you. This is a 16-piece Two-Step Stampin’ set. When you combine individual stamps  you can create the final image you want in the colors you want.  It is item #143006 and can be purchased from my Stampin' Up! Online Store.

Tutorial: Matchbox Cover Treats

 

I had a great weekend teaching my April stamping classes.  I have one more to go -- Monday morning at 10:00.  I try to always have a little goodie for all my class attendees and this month they all received a little Matchbox Cover with a Ghiradelli chocolate inside.  Afterall, who can stamp without chocolates?  I promised them I would post the instructions to make these cute little treats.  They would be great for Teacher Appreciation, co-workers, or little party favors.

 

INSTRUCTIONS

1.  Cut a piece of card stock to measure 6-1/2" x 2-1/4"

2.  Score card stock at 1" and 4" and with Bone Folder crease along score lines

3.  Decorate the front flaps as desired with Designer Series Paper.

4.  Fold small bottom flap and secure with staple.

5.  Add candy inside using Tear & Tape Adhesive.

6.  Fold top flap in.

Stampin' Up! Retiring Colors

 

Last week Stampin' Up!  published the Retiring List and I know sometimes it can be overwhelming when looking at it.  Today I thought I would break it down and just show the retiring colors.  If any of these colors are your favorites, you might want to order the ink pads, a few extra colors of card stock, and don't forget to add the ink refills!   Place your order today on my Stampin' Up! Online Store before they sell out!

Make & Takes Individual Photos

When we arrived at our tables at On Stage last weekend, there was a large tote on each table with a sign saying "No Peeking."  It wasn't until mid-morning when the crafting session was to get underway that we were finally allowed to open the tote we had been eyeing all morning.  It was exciting to see it was filled with lots of new stamp sets, inks, paper and embellishments from the new catalog!  The fun thing was when the conference was ending, Shelli Gardner (we were lucky to have her at our conference!) announced everyone at the tables could pick out items to take home--we took turns choosing items until the tote was empty!

 

As promised, here are close up photos of my On Stage Make & Takes.

Make & Takes From On Stage

I wanted to show you the Make & Takes we made at On Stage this past weekend.  But first I wanted to show you some of the FREE goodies we all received from Stampin' Up!  They are always so good to us whenever we attend an event!  Thank you, Stampin' Up!

 

 

Here are the Make & Takes everyone got to make during the conference.  I changed mine up a little.  I'll post individual photos soon so you can get a better look.
