Get Your Stamps Out

About once per quarter I offer a class for fellow Stampin' Up! Demonstrators only...

his project is the opposite of what I showed you yesterday. With the bleaching technique you take color away from the fabric around the vinyl design, andnow we are going to add color using Stampin' Up!'s Craft Ink Refills. Thiswas a plain white silk scarfto begin...

This cardisso fun. It's simply a half sheet of Whisper White card stock folded to make a card and stamped on the lower 2/3 of the card front...

This is another item I got in our "anything-but-a-card" swap. This basket is made with the Stampin' Up! Baskets & Blooms die, but the basket has sides and a rectangular bottom opposed to being rounded like die cut is intended to be assembled...

Calling all card-makers! Our local Girl Scout Service Unit is assisting with a project to supply less fortunate children with the items they need to have a birthday celebration...

The following article has exerpts taken from Scrapbooking Sketches - 8 Ways to Be More Productive by Monna Ellithorpe. She made some great points and she uses the same inspiration as I do - sketches and scrap maps...

There isn't much time left to get registered for the Great Gifts class at Alpha Park Library in Bartonville IL on 11/12 from 5:30 to 8:30 pm. Here is another project we will be making. This is only the packaging. There is a gift that will fit inside as well. What could it be??? Wait and see.....

I brought a couple of the projects that we will be making at the Gifts Galore class at the Alpha Park Library in Bartonville, IL to the last class to show off, so I thought I had better show them to the rest of you as well. One of these projects is this awesome Filigree and Rhinestone brad bracelet...

I got this cute pumpkin in a recent swap. My sister demonstrator Laura made it with the pop up 3D ball die and her Big Shot. It's a photo ball, but I have yet to put any pictures on it. I thought it would be fun to put our trick-or-treat pics on it...

YES! Now let me tell you why... Paper Snips: These small, thin-bladed scissors are the best for cutting out images that you have stamped and are going to pop up with Stampin' Dimensionals and such. That is, of course, my very favorite way to embellish anything...

This the time of year when I typically do more scrapbooking than any other. I think it all started when a group of us got a hotel conference room in the Quad Cities one fall weekend and scrapped until wee hours as well as all day. It was sooo much fun...

Well, we are just about half way through our 12 weeks of Christmas projects. I have given you a number of card ideas, and now it's time to move on to the gift projects...

I just thought that since I showed a project made with a brown paper lunch bag the other day, I would keep with that theme and show you another item that I made recently from paper bags. It's an altered lunch sack scrapbook. My plan is to put photos from our recent trip to the pumpkin patch in it...

Nothing! :) We had another fun night of stamping at Alpha Park Library, but something was missing. Or should I say SOMEONEwas missing. Gail just hates to miss out on all the fun, but she was unable to attend the Christmas Card Crank...
