June Stamp Club

It's been awhile, sorry about that.  Finally got a few minutes to take some photos of what's been going on lately.  Tonight I have the June Stamp Club projects.  This is our last meeting for this session.  We have a mixed theme this time with a Father's Day card, 2012 - 2013 In Color Bookmark and a cute card using the new stamp set called Betsy's Blossoms.

So here is the group picture:

 

I'll go from left to right starting with the Betsy's Blossoms card.

The Betsy's Blossoms card is one of the projects in the June Tutorial from Chat Wszelaki.   We have 2 of the New In Colors - Gumball Green and Primrose Petals.  Love these colors together!  You can purchase the June Tutorial from Chat by clicking ( Here )  This set is currently on my favorites list!


Next up is the Open Sea Father's Day card:

I found this idea over at Debbie Henderson's blog.  Such a wonderful masculine card with Real Red and another New In Color - Midnight Muse.   I found Debbie's blog when I was at Create with Connie & Mary - New Catty Edition 2012,  as she is on the Design Team for this session.  You can check out Debbie's blog  ( Here ).  You can check out Create with Connie & Mary - New Catty Edition 2012 by clicking on the picture link at the top on my right hand side bar.

Up last is the 2012 - 2013 In Color Bookmark:

Last year I made all of my customers one of the In Color Bookmarks.   This year I decided this would be a great project for the gals to make at Stamp Club.   The Creator of this FUN project is Brenda Quintana.  She also created the one I did last year.  This year I got some of the Bookmark covers to keep them nice and clean.  Brenda posted this over at Splitcoast in the Business Tools section for Stampin' Up Demonstrators. 

Well that's it for tonight.  I want to send a BIG "Thank You" to Chat, Debbie and Brenda for sharing their creativity!!! 

Thanks for stopping by today !!!

Happy Stamping !!!

Summer Time Gift Box

Good Evening Ladies,

Lots of things going on, as the start of summer is right around the corner.  With that said,  I found this really cute Summer Time Gift Box over at Cristena Bagne's blog the other day.  I was looking for some FUN ideas for gifts as the Stampin' Up Convention is also right around the corner, but not until July.  Only 35 more days to go, then we'll be in Salt Lake City !!!  Woo Hoo !!

Okay, I get so excited.   

This truly is a total CASE of Cristena's project.  But I really couldn't resist.  I have some other ideas for this box too, hopefully I will have time to give those a try.

So here it is: 

It was so much FUN to make this cute Summer Gift Box.
I just love the Summer Smooches Designer Paper and this really shows it off !!!
Add some Daffadil Delight cardstock and some Mixed Bunch Flowers and you're there !! 
I think the Soft Suede Buttons really take this over the top and make it super stunning!

This is a little closer view of the Gift Box.

Cristena has a video tutorial, along with some of the details over on her blog too.  Just click ( Here ) to view it.

Now I can see this Gift Box being used for quite a few different Occasions, can't you?  Remember that Father's Day is this weekend.  If you hurry, you can make this a Special Father's Day!! 
All you have to do is make a Special Handmade Card  or even give this Gift Box a try with a Father's Day Theme.

Thanks for stopping by today!!

Happy Stamping !!

Teacher Gifts !!

Well it's that time of year when you are looking for ideas for Teacher Gifts.  One of my stamp club gals who is a very dear friend of mind was looking for ideas.  But she needed something that would be able to also include a gift card.  I had seen a really cute idea over at Becky Roberts blog - Inking Idaho a few days ago.  So I shared the idea with her and she loved it!  So I guess you could say that today is a shared day with Becky and my friend Dawn. 

You can see Becky's idea by clicking  ( Here ).

So tonight after I got home from work I went to check on emails.  To my surprise I had received an email from Dawn with a picture of her take on Becky's Teacher Gift idea.  I Love it when I can share what I so enjoy with someone else!

So here is Dawn's take on Becky's project:

She used the Retired stamp set  "First Day".   They are so cute that I just had to share with you!
The Teachers are going to LOVE these tomorrow!
As it is the last day of school for most kids in Minnesota. 
Happy Summer Vacation!!

Don't forget to remember all the Teachers who are dedicated to teaching our children !

Thanks for stopping by today !!

Happy Stamping !!

Our New In Colors for 2012 - 2014

I hope that you are just as excited as I am with the New Annual Catalog !!   I saw this cute idea over the weekend showcasing the New In Colors for 2012 - 2014.   So I had to case it.  These cute 3 x 3 cards showcase not only the New In Colors, but also the New Layered Labels stamp set and the New Apothecary Accents Framelits!!  Thanks to Rosemarie Diehl for her awesome idea !!

                  Aren't these cards too cute !!!

From left to right we have the New 2012 - 2014 In Colors :
Gumball Green, Midnight Muse, Primrose Petals, Raspberry Ripple and Summer Starfruit !

Now I just LOVE how Rosemarie did the little clothespins to match.  The clothespins are retired, but hopefully you still have some of those.  The Itty Bitty Punch Pack was used to make the flowers and then you have a Basic Jewel Pearl for the center.

Here's a close up so you can see how cute these 3 x 3 cards really are.  I also just want to say that I LOVE the New Stamp Pads!!  You really only need to tap them lightly on the stamp pad to get a clear image on your cardstock.  You got to LOVE that !!  Thank You Stampin' Up !!!

Thanks for stopping by today!! 

Happy Stamping !!!
