May Stamp Projects

This month we have two fabulous Father's Day projects we are working on along with a really simple card. These were really fun projects to make!

Father's Day Wallet

The pattern for this can be found here.

When you open it up you have 6 pockets. In mine, I am including a card that has the definition of "Memories" on it, and picture of my husband and daughter (16 years ago). I will add a gift card also.

I think he will really like it!

Ingredients:

Stamps: Sanded, Define Your Life

Paper: Close to Cocoa, Creamy Caramel, Whisper White

Ink: Close to Cocoa,

Accessories: Paper Piercer

A Dad's Best Friend

This card uses the faux wood techniques. This is the best tutorial I have seen for faux wood yet. It takes a little longer than the other tutorials you will find, but it looks so realistic. The tutorial can be found here.

Ingredients:

Stamps: For Father

Ink: Craft White, Chocolate Chip, Whisper White

Paper: Chocolate Chip, White

Accessories: String

Sweet Thank You

This is a very simple card. To make the orange slice "sugared", I stamped the image in Only Orange on white card stock, went over with a Versamark pen, used SU heat and stick powder than dipped in diamond dust! I love it.

Ingredients:

Stamps: Tart and Tangy, Wonderful Words

Ink: Only Orange, Versamark

Paper: Whisper White, Only Orange, YoYo Yellow

Accessories: Orange Ribbon, Swiss Dot Cuttlebug, Diamond Dust, Heat and Stick Powder

April Stamp Camp Projects

I just love this new set out of the Occasions Mini-Tart and Tangy. It is so inexpensive and has so many possibilities.

Citrus Post It Note Holder

I found the perfect binder clip for this project at Office Depot. They are rounded and 1/2 a slice of fruit fits in it perfectly. Actually, since I am a office supply hoarder (along with stamps, paper, embellishments, etc), I had them already. I knew I would find the perfect use for them. This is a project I have wanted to do for awhile. Instead of stamping the paper you could use preprinted paper but I wanted bright springy colors!

Ingredients:

Stamps: Tart and Tangy

Paper: White Card stock

Ink: Only Orange, Green Galore, and Yoyo Yellow

Accessories: Binder Clip, Post It Notes, coaster and ribbon

Dare to Be Fabulous

To be honest, I did not care for this set at all when I first saw it. That is until I saw a few cards and decided I had to give it a try. I am pleased with the way this card turned out and have decided...yes I do like it!

Ingredients:

Stamps: Fabulous Flowers and Floral Background

Paper: Rose Red and Regal Rose

Ink: Rose Red and Regal Rose

Accessories: Brad, Stickles, Scallop Punch, and Ribbon

Apple Scratch-N-Sniff
I have been promising my club we were going to do this card for awhile. Well, along came the perfect stamp set!

Ingredients:

Stamps: Tart and Tangy

Ink: Old Olive

Paper: Pumpkin Pie, White Card stock, Summer Picnic Designer Paper

Accessories: Embossing Powder, crystal light, Cuttlebug embossing folder, scallop punch

December Stamp Club

This month marks the end of the Fall/Winter Catalog. I am looking forward to seeing some new items! Stampin' Up! is going to be offering rub ons in the new catalog! Ya Hoo!

We are doing two projects this month. The first is a double sided bag. I think this would be great to fill one side with packages of hot cocoa and the other with a candy cane and marshmallows! What a simple and inexpensive gift!

Ingredients:

Stamps: In the Spotlight, Perfect Presentation

Paper: Old Olive, non SU double sided Pomegranate, White Card stock

Recipe Book

We are having a cookie exchange at our Stamp Club and thought this would be a neat project to make to hold our recipes.

This was totally cased from this project.

July Stamp Camp

Boy! This month really sneaked up on me! I guess with all the excitement of the new catalog it came sooner than I expected!

Our first project this month is a Pocket Photo Album. This is a tiny and cute album that will fit right in your purse! It contains a cover, 6 pages for photos, and a back!

Cover

Pages One and Two

Pages Three and Four

Pages Five and Six

All products are from Stampin' Up. Stamps sets include Baroque Motifs and Carte Postale. Ink and Paper colors are Old Olive, White, and Close to Cocoa!

Our second project is an all occasion card using the stamp sets Pick a Petal and the level two hostess set Word On Word.

The colors of paper and ink for this project are Glorious Green and Purely Pomegranate. PP is a limited "In Color"! I really like this color combination! Perfect for summer!

The last project is a card using another new set from the catalog, Bronco Buster and the new wheel Bronco! They have four new "cowboy" sets! I ended up getting them all and I don't even like western things! What is wrong with me? The background stamp is Sanded, also a new stamp. The colors used for this card are from the new In Color collection. The ink and paper are both Blue Bayou and Soft Sky! I am not a blue person either!

June Stamp Camp Projects

This months projects consist of two cards and a milk carton.

The first card is for the Fourth Of July!

This Stampin' Up set is Artifacts which is retiring at the end of the month! I love this set! Colors used on this card include Stampin' Up's Real Red and Not Quite Navy.

The second card is my first attempt at a sculptured rose! Colors used on this card are Mellow Moss and So Saffron! This set, one of my favorites, is also retiring this month! The center of the rose has Dimensional Effects with beads. The white card stock is embossed with the cuttlebug then So Saffron Ink was lightly rubbed across it.

Here is the link to instructions on making the sculptured rose: http://www.splitcoaststampers.com/resources/papertole.php

The third project is a Milk Carton! These are fun to do!
Crayon resist was used on the flower! The pattern can be found here:

These would be great to give as teacher's gifts or party favors!

May Stamp Club Projects

I really had planned on getting these projects up much earlier, but couldn't really decide what projects I wanted to make! There are just to many things I want to do! This month I finally decided on an Office theme. I found these file folders today at Office Depot. Ok, I decided on the Office theme after I found the folders! There were four different colors in a package, 110 total! The colors included a deep red, teal, purple and a light gray. I was so excited to find these in colors. It sure beats having to cover the whole folder! So instead of having to cover a whole file folder, I have a lot of file folders to cover! FUN FUN FUN!

To match our file folder we are also making a Beaded Pen and a Jumbo Paperclip! I used chipboard and my Cuttlebug to die cut the flowers on the paperclip.

You can find directions for these at the following links...

April Stamp Club Projects

Time for April Stamp Club! These were some last minute projects I came up with! Since Mother's Day is around the corner I decided we would make a little bag and matching card ! I used Doodle This from the Spring Mini ( Stampin Up)! I love this set! I was kinda on the fence about purchasing it, but am so glad I did! The words mom were stamped with Headline Alphabet! The scallop on the card was done with Stampin Up's slit punch! The brown paper is Stampin Up's Chocolate Chip, as is the ink used on the doodles!

Directions on making the box out of one sheet of 8.5 x 11 paper can be found at this site: :http://www.splitcoaststampers.com/resources/onesheetbox.php

Our third project is a generic card using the Stampin Up set, Office Accourntment. This set can also be found in the Spring Mini, along with the Spirl Punch! Inks include Basic Black and Orchird Opulence.
