Pink Pirouette card

Here is the completed card that I showed as a Sneak Peek a few days ago. We made this as theStamp Club Make & Take this past week, as well as a Technique Page on 'Ghosting'. (I will post a sample with that technique in a day or two.)

The ladies seemed to enjoy the challenge of making this card, even though I was a little worried about overwhelming them. Everyone had a blast making it, and the Build-A-Brad on the front was a hit!

Details on how it's made:

We used the Tres Chic background on Pink Pirouette cardstock, stamped in Versamark, and heat embossed with Clear Embossing Powder. The next step was to punch the bottom of the Pink Pirouette cardstock with the Scallop Edge punch. The Old Olive prints paper strip was punched to match, and adhered underneath. The little envelope on the front was made using the Envelope Die and the Big Shot die cutting machine, on Old Olive prints paper. It is so easy to make these, as the machine cuts it, scores it, and even adds the cute lace accent along the top, all in one go thru. We added adhesive on either side, and it was ready to put on the card! First we folded some 1 1/4 inch Pink Pirouette ribbon, and taped that underneath. Inside the envelope is a little note card stamped with the Punches Three stamp set square image, and punched out with the Square Scallop Punch. We also paper pierced along the top of the little note card before sliding it into the envelope. Then, the finale was to make the Build-A-Brad for the front. For this, we used the 1/2" circle punch to make an Old Olive circle, and adhered that to the brad. The clear bubble was already sticky, so we popped that on top. We punched out a larger circle with the 3/4" circle punch, and Pink Pirouette cardstock, and put the brad thru that. It is attached with a dimentional so as not to get in the way of the note card. I hope you enjoy this project!

Big Shot Baby Book!

Here is a cute little boy Baby Book I made yesterday using my new Big Shot from Stampin' Up along with the Bigz Scallop Die.

I cut out the Urban Garden Designer Series Paper, (4 sheets at once! I LOVE the possibilities with this machine to do multiple pieces at the same time!) I then cut off about 1 inch of the Scallop shape, so I could add the binding with my new Bind-It-All! I added the new Kiwi Satin Ribbon, which is Kiwi on one side, and Vanilla on the other! So pretty! The embellishment on the front is made from a retired Baby stamp (All Year Cheer) in Baja Breeze, punched out with the Designer Label Punch, and the new Square Scallop punch. I added a clip from the new Clips Assortment.

 

I made 8 pages for the inside, and decorated them simply, with the smaller Scallop Die, cut out in Kiwi Kiss and Baja Breeze paper. I also added a few stamped images of Upsy Daisy in Kiwi Kiss.

This would make a great gift to pop some baby photos into, and give to Grandma as a brag book!

Mini Backpack!

Well, I spent some time playing with an idea I had seen on SplitCoastStampers. Here's the aftermath

of my "playing"....

Does this happen to you too? I end up with such a small place to work in, that I can't work anymore! I do love to make a mess, and I think it's part of the fun, but I don't love cleaning it all up!

Here's the project that caused this mess.

It is a Mini Backpack, and a great gift for teachers. I am hoping to make a few more of these today, and put together little "Survival Kits" for my kids teachers for the year to come. I am going to put in a Starbucks card, some Tylenol, chocolate, and some handmade cards.  Cute huh?

Here are another couple shots of it.....

 

This project was featured on SplitCoast, in the demonstrator-only section, so I can't post the link. But I did find a lady who produced a tutorial that you could follow if you like. It starts with 8.5 X11 cardstock, and you cut out the pattern. The designer paper used is Berry Bliss (now retired), and I added the new Flower brad to the front, with a 1" circle punched piece of the Berry Bliss paper. You need sticky strip to hold the pieces together, and I also added some Regal Rose 5/8 grosgrain ribbbon for the straps. What do you think?

First Day of School!

Hello! Well, we made it thru the first day of school! Everyone was a little nervous, but after searching for the right rooms, all the kids got settled into their classrooms pretty quickly. School supplies were flying, let me tell you! We love all the teachers our kids got this year, and I am anticipating a fabulous year for all of them! After getting them settled, I thought to myself: Should I go out for coffee, or get some things done? Well, I decided to get some things done (my first mistake!). I took the van in to get the brakes checked, after hearing alot of funny noises last week, to the tune of $800! Yes, they were in bad shape, and now I am depressed! I should've gone for coffee! Oh well, it's too late now. Tomorrow I will know better :)

The kids had only a half day today (as I think most kids in our area did), and were home for lunch. I got to hear lots of news about friends and teachers etc. Isaac is the most excited (he started grade one this year), and was quite worried going in. He did just fine, though, and I got my first crayon-colored picture for the year! I love those!

I was hoping to get some stamping in this morning, but didn't quite get to it, what with the brakes and all! I hope to upload some fantabulous project tomorrow ---I will get to work on designing that!

Have a terrific day!

Jo-Ann
