more rejects

Class Announcement!!!

If you haven't been to craftprojectcentral.com, you are missing out.  For a small fee, you get 10 projects a month and let me tell you, they are nothing to sneeze at!  I have duplicated at least half of them each month.  This project just so happens to be one of my next classes.  Thursday April 19th 6-9.  So, I will not be listing the supplies for this one, but if you would like to attend the class, you will receive the tutorial.  This can also be made as a take home kit for any of you who are out of town!  I am in LOVE with this little Sweet Shop!

This class includes the adorable transformed craft box along with 6 love notes and coordinating envelopes made with the diagonal plate for our simply scored!  You have to get one!

The fee is $25 and you will get everything to make this, plus you will half the products in the dsp, brads, stickers and get a whole spool of lucky limeade baker's twine!  There will be plenty to make another set of cards when you run out of these.  It won't take long!  Hope you can make it!  Bring a friend.  Absolutely no stamping in this project.  Super easy!

Stamp Club

Sorry for the delay in posts.  I usually set about 10 posts at a time and I can't believe how fast 2 weeks goes and I forget :)

But...Club night is my absolute favorite day of the month.  It is so fun to share what I love with such wonderful ladies.  They are just like sponges ready to absorb everything I show them.  It is such a treat to be with them.  This week I will focus on the reject projects.  I don't demo anything and they don't make it...so it's a reject...but not b/c lack of cuteness!

This first card was cased from stampingpro.com

Supplies:
Stamp Set: Elementary Elegance
Paper: Wisteria Wonder, Whisper White, sweet shop DSP
Ink: Wisteria Wonder
Tools: Big Shot, Stripes EF, large scallop circle die, floral fusion embosslit
Accessories: in color brads, dimensionals

Peach Parfait Frame

I believe I cased this card from Chiaki Haverstick.  She is amazing.  Check out her blog.  I loved the use of our new framelits on this card.  And SU! does a great job making lots of products that coordinate very well together like our frame embossing folders, our label framelits collection and our large/wide oval punch for the center.

Supplies:


Stamp Set: Elementary Elegance 
(SAB)
Ink: Espresso, Peach Parfait
Paper: White, Everyday Elegance DSP (SAB), peach parfait
Tools: Big Shot, Labels Framelits collection, frames embossing folder, stripes embossing folder, wide oval punch
Accessories: crochet ribbon, new 8mm pearls, basic pearls and dimensions

Storage

Mary Fish comes through again!  Even though Stampin' Up! has done a better job than the other companies who make framelits with the packaging, Mary went even further and I LOVE IT!

We sell empty stamp cases and sheets of magnets!  I am proud to say that I am a Stampin' Up! purist. Some people don't understand why :)

Spring Fever Simply Scrappin'

I have always loved our Simply Scrappin' Kits.  Our Spring Fever in the Occasions Mini is no exception.  I used to only use these kits to do scrapbooks for my children, but since finding My Digital Studio, I just don't make the time for the paper scrapbooks I used to work so hard on.  But, just because these sets have the phrase scrappin' in them doesn't mean you can't use them for other things.  This product is also a great product for beginners to use to make very quick cards like this one.

I love how bright these colors are.  Obviously ready for spring!  I didn't use anything not included in the kit except the word and the marker to ink it up.  I think anyone would love to get this in the mail!  BUT...let's say you'd like to step it up!  Try this for size.  Add a few layers and dimensionals along with a fun edgelit and you have a spectacular card!

Supplies other than the kit:
Stamp Set: Teeny Tiny Phrases
Paper: Melon Mambo, white
Tools: Big Shot, edgelits, small scalloped circle, jewelry tag punch
Accessories: lots of dimensionals!  Can't make a flat card!




I hope to get around to making cards with the rest of my kit.  I'd love to do a class around this kit!  Doesn't matter how old I get, I still love stickers and SU! has the best of them!

Case from Stampin' Success

This was a card I couldn't wait to make!  It used so many of the new items in the occasion mini that I knew it would be perfect to demo at my stamp club!  Boy was I wrong!

Supplies:
Stamp Set: Flexible Phrases, Mixed Bunch, Bordering on Romance
Paper: Pear Pizzazz, White, Twitterpated DSP, Blushing Bride
Ink: Versamark
Tools: Big Shot, blossom punch, heat tool, 3/4" circle punch, adorning accents edgelits, adorning accents embossing folder
Accessories: Blushing Bride Pleated Satin Ribbon, white baker's twine, white embossing powder, dimensionals, basic pearls
I love so many things about this card, but it was NOT easy to make.  The new edgelits are a challenge to say the least.  Because they are so thin, they move very quickly.  A few suggestions I have read about are: using dotto to keep your edgelit in place, or even masking tape.  I even took it a step further.  I wish I had taken a picture of this, but I didn't.  Take the edgelit I used on this card and take a sharpie and mark the center.  Then make a mark 2.75" on either side so it would fit perfectly on a 5.5" card.  You really need to play around with this product.  It does spectacular things, but not without a little training first.

Double Pocket Card

 This is a fun little project.  You could put a cookie in each pocket or a 3x3 card.  It's such a clever idea.  I got this idea from Julie B's Stampin' Space. Click here to see the tutorial :)

Supplies:
Paper: Berry Blossoms DSP
Accessories: Lucky Limeade Ruffled Ribbon
Tools: 1" circle punch for the hole
