Stamp Club Valentine Card

Ok, last but not least is the demo card.  Again I used the same paper pack, stamp set and paper doily to show that all the same items can be used on three seperate projects, no matter what kind you like and prefer to make.  I threw in another sneek peek item from the Celebration catalog, can you guess what it is?!?  It is the cute little brad that's in the center of the large doily.  It comes from the Everyday Enchantment Ribbon and Brad Pack you can get for FREE, yes I said FREE, when you place a minimum order of $50 during the Feb. 24 thru Mar. 31, 2012.

Stampin' Up items used:

*  cardstock colors of:  calypso coral, very vanilla, Celebration Everyday Enchantment DSP, pool party
*  stamp set:  Take it to Heart
*  ink:  pool party and calypso coral
*  Punches:  Heart to Heart and Full Heart
*  misc. items:  paper doily, pool party ruffled ribbon, Everyday enchantment ribbon and brad pack

Stamp Club Pillow Box

This is the 3D item that I will display at my first stamp club.  I used the same "Celebration" Everyday Enchantment DSP pack to wrap around the box.  I used Lucky Limeade Ruffled ribbon to tie around the holder.  The holder is the wonderful Pillow Box die cut out with clear overhead projector sheets.  It holds 3 Hershey Nuggets perfectly.  I tied on a tag using the scalloped circle punch and added a few mini hearts from the Heart to Heart punch.

Valentine Scrapbook Page

I have put together my first "Stamp Club" and I am very excited to get started!  My plans are to create either a scrapbook page, a 3D item or a card.  First our first club get together we are making a valentine scrapbook page.  As you can see we are using a few new items from the Occasions Mini Catalog.  The DSP is a sneek peek from the Celebration Catalog. 

With my stamp club I know that there are people who like to maybe only do scrapbooking, card making or 3D items.  So to make my stamp club a little different and fun, I want to make 2 other items besides the item we are making for the project to demonstrate how you can use the same products, but on three different projects.

For example:
Our first project is a scrapbook page.  I will have on display the card and 3D so that you can see the versatility.

Stampin' Up Products used for this page:

*  cardstock colors of:  riding hood red, very vanilla and pool party
*  Celebration Catalog:  Everyday Enchantment DSP
*  ink colors of:  riding hood red, soft suede
*  punches used:  heart to heart, full heart
*  stamp sets:  Take It to Heart
*  Misc. Items:  Paper Doily Lrg. Sizzlits Die, Pool Party Ruffled ribbon

Desktop Calendar

 In the kitchen on my bar countertop, I like to keep a small calendar for quick references.  I saw this calendar and thought it was perfect.  I liked how it was different from the one I made for 2011 and that it had a seperate page for each month.

 This shows how each page is seperate.  After each month is over, you can simple tear out that month and the new month is on top, or to see ahead, you can just flip to that month.  I decorated each month with a special stamp that goes with that month and its holiday or event.

This is the front (nice and simple).  You could use it and keep it in your pocketbook.  Its a wallet size.  The tutorial was done differently than how I made mine.  I added a scored strip of cardstock to back to make an easle for extra support for when it stands up.  If you don't, the weight of the calendar pages make it want to flip forward.

A Little Wall Art

I have been wanting to recreate the scattered flowers you see in the front of the full catalog.  So last week I did it!  I several colors from each color family and punched out flowers/petals from the Build a Blossom punch and the new Blossom punch from the new occasions mini.  I centered each with a flat white push pin and pinned them to the wall around the definition of "CREATE".  I used my Cricut and black vinyl sheets to cut out all letters to finish the definition.  I love how it turned out.  Leave me feedback, so I can hear what your thoughts are!
