All Dressed Up

 

This is my first attempt with the Pop 'n Cuts and All dressed up bundle.  I learned a few things for the next time, particularly in folding the dress form insert.

 

 

My dress is two layers of Beau Chateau fabric with a sash of Victoria crochet trim and an antique brad.

 

Supplies:

All Dressed up

Primrose Petals, Crumb Cake, Whisper White, Early Espresso card stock

Primrose Petals ink

Pop 'n Cuts card base

Dress Form pop 'n cuts

Celebrate

 

This is one of my favorite color combinations and I know I go back to it a lot with any shade of browns and pinks.  For this one, I used Soft Suede, Crumb Cake and Pink Pirouette. 

 

 

Behind the flower I used one of the Delicate Doilies die cuts - when you use it behind something like this you don't have to worry if all the little pieces have come out :)

August Stamp Camp Projects

Yesterday's Stamp Camp was lots of fun and I wanted to share the projects with you.  The first one was created by Lisa, I added the card stock and another layer of dsp to the back of mine along with the 3 dahlias, but isn't this just the cutest thing!

 

 

She had some candy corn and cello bags to go in them and had a little hand sanitizer in hers as a sample.  I had a candy corn one at home so I had to add it to the picture :)

 

 

 

I had two cards for my part of the camp, the first one using the Googly Ghouls stamp set and googlie eyes.  I used the Spider Web folder and the sanding system for the background.

 

The second card uses some fabric and I have made a few like this before that I have posted.  I use a piece of the multipurpose adhesive sheets to attach it to the card stock. 

 

There is also a strip of fabric in the button.

 

It was a great morning, you can see in the background I had a little helper today.  She always love to come stamping with me and socializes with everyone!

Twitterpatted Thank You

This card turned out a little busy I think, but maybe I can revamp it :)

I used the Twitterpatted DSP and fabric for this one, the fabric is on the layer over the Riding Hood Red card stock and I used some Multipurpose adhesive sheets to attach it.

 

 

I brought out some retired Blushing Bride card stock and added Whisper White and Riding Hood Red.  The ink colors are Baja Breeze and Island Indigo.

It's Your Day!

The final card in the Artisan Award entry posts...I have another scrapbook page and the final 3D item to share with you later this week.

I used the Summer Smooches dsp and fabric for this card combining it with the Fancy Flower punch and Happiest Birthday Wishes stamp set.

Live in the Sunshine...

This is a hybrid project that I entered for the Artisan Award contest.   The base is a piece of board covered with fabric.  The center was printed with My Digital Studio and then stamped and the scallop circles are made from the wood sheets and then stamped.

The whole thing was covered with Vanilla Shimmer smooch spritz after I put it together.

This one would have been fun to have back but maybe it will make one of the displays at convention.

Birthday Wishes

Happy Mother's Day!

Today's card uses the Summer Smooches fabric, Delicate Doilies and Bring on the Cake stamp sets along with the color spritzer tool (great for covering up mistakes!!). 

I used Real Red, Daffodil Delight and Whisper White for my colors and added an antique brad and some 1/4" Real Red grosgrain ribbon.

The inside with some spritzing and a stamped doily.

Pleated Hoop Calendar

Today I am able to share another project I created for the UStamp with Dawn and Friends Score! event.  It was a fun project to create, but it did take a little more time than I anticipated...

This is the matching card close up...

Hope you liked this creation!  Stop on over and see us if you would like to see more great projects using the Simply Scored tool.  www.ustampwithdawnandfriends.com

Stamp Camp Projects

We had so much fun at our Stamp Camp last Saturday and I thought I would share the projects we created with you.

Sarah's card featured a 3d look with the ornament punch as well as some Big Shot pieces and textures.  She also made the little top note purses for our thank you gifts to those who came to stamp.

 Lisa's project showed off the Spiece Cake designer series paper and fabric along with some Big Shot details.

I had the gift bag using Mocha Morning Specialty paper and also a card I cased from Mary Fish with a little glimmer and bling.

November Stamp Club

Today my wonderful Stamp Club meets and these are the projects for the month of November.

I really love the Cherry Cobbler embossing powder, it is tough to see from the picture, but the "Joy" is embossed with it.

The layout for the month is very simple, but love the Spice Cake DSP and large buttons.

I added a fabric flower to the second page of the layout too for a little fun.

Petite Pocket

Well, this is one of those dies for the Big Shot that I looked at and thought, I don't need that one.  Of course, many talented people have created some examples that changed my mind so here is my first attempt at playing with it.

I thought it would make a good door prize for some upcoming event...maybe my Stamp A Stack next weekend :)

I used Cherry Cobbler card stock, some Holly Berry Bouquet fabric, the boho blossoms punch, Season of Joy stamp set and basic pearls.  A very quick and easy little project!

Remember, you can get the Big Shot FREE this month if you sign up as a demonstrator!

Spice Cake Set

The Spice Cake designer series paper is one of my favorites and for this project, I put together a set of 6 cards and a bag in a box to hold them.

The flower is made from the Spice Cake designer fabric and the handle is connected with Antique brads.

The cards were stamped using Friendly Phrases and Day of Gratitude and I used More Mustard and Soft Suede classic inks.

Ornate Joy

I used some Holly Berry Bouquet specialty paper and fabric on this card which also features the Ornate Blossom stamp and the sentiment is from a retired stamp set. 

I used Whisper White, Real Red and Wild Wasabi for my colors and added a little safety pin vintage trinket to my fabric knot.

Joy

This is a set of cards I made that are very quick and simple to put together.  I had some leftover altered paper with the faux mother of pearl  technique and used The Sounding Joy stamp set for my images.

The backgrounds are created with the Petals a Plenty impressions folder.

Warmest of Wishes

About a month or more ago, I took some tissue paper and dabbed some Champagne Mist shimmer paint on it, crumpled it up a bunch and then added it to white card stock with glue stick thinking I would use it for some cards.  Well, finally I pulled it out again for this one.

Claire

My niece, Claire, has been asking me to make a project for her like this one that I created for UStamp with Dawn and Friends Classes, Clubs and Camps.  I decided to do something different, but still just for her and give it to her as part of her birthday gift this fall.  Hopefully she doesn't look at my blog since her birthday isn't for another couple weeks :) but at almost 9 years old, I should be fairly safe!  I will share the projects I made for her sisters in the next couple weeks too.

The base of the project is another 12" x 12" x 1" board and I covered it with the Flirtatious fabric and frayed the edges a bit (I used the mutipurpose adhesive sheets to attach it).

I just love these flowers made with the scallop circles dies, they are so easy to put together!

It hangs on another piece of this pretty fabric tied around some eyelet hooks.

So, more of my favorite things for Late Night Stampers this week - fabric, lace ribbon border punch, basic rhinestones and buttons!

Favorite things

It is never difficult to pick some of my favorite things to scrap and stamp with, but narrowing them down...that is more difficult!  This week at Late Night Stampers, we are supposed to use some of our favorite things on our projects. 

One of the things I really love is our fabric and the fact that you don't need to sew to use it.  This project is created by covering a folder with fabric and attaching it with glue stick.  The inside is a layer of card stock and the pockets are made from envelopes.

I used the stamp set Tagtastic and also the Designer Frames impressions folder for many of the cards - absolutely LOVE the impressions folders :)

Of course punches are fantastic as well and they are also used on the folder and the cards - fancy flower, extra large oval, 1 3/4" circle, 1" circle, lace ribbon border, 2 3/8" scallop circle.

And of course basic pearls! 

I matched the fabric and designer series paper so that my paper is the retired Springtime Vintage and I used Rose Red, Pear Pizzazz, Pretty in Pink, Crumb Cake, Soft Suede and Very Vanilla card stock and inks.
