Unfrogettable Stamping!

Fabulous Holiday projects

   Happy Friday!  This week our projects for Fabulous Friday on the Sisters in Stamping blog are Holiday-themed and I wanted to share the projects I designed for my Mom & Me class featuring the Owl Occasions stamp set and Snow Festival DSP, both from the Holiday catalog. The set includes an 8" x 10" page for either a picture frame or scrapbook page, an owl gift bag, hot cocoa pocket and gift card holder.  You'll find close-up photos below... the hot cocoa pocket directions can be found in my Week 1 Gift Basket Stuffers tutorial and the gift card holder and gift bag are included in this week's Week 9 Wrap it Up tutorial.

  Thanks for stopping by today... please be sure and hop on over to the Sisters in Stamping blog after Noon EST today to check out even more Holiday project ideas!  Have a wonderful weekend!!

Ornament Keepsakes class projects

  I recently held an Ornament Keepsakes class that was free for anyone who purchased the promotion bundle from me during the month of October and wanted to share the projects with you.  It was a lot of fun, but everyone agreed that the ornaments should only be made for VERY special people who can appreciate the time and effort put forth into making these!  The class projects included the ornament from the cover of the Holiday catalog, a clean and simple Christmas card and matching gift bag.  Everyone loved the projects and I look forward to holding more classes like this in the future!!

  If you'd like to purchase the bundle of products used to make these projects I will email you the directions and a kit of supplies not included in the bundle to duplicate it.  Please contact me for more details!

 

Simply Paper Design Challenge #11 Christmas card

 

   Earlier this month I created a card using the card sketch from the Simply Paper Design Challenge for November for my sister Cindy's birthday but wanted to follow the entire challenge and created this one with the Be Of Good Cheer DSP to play along.  I really love this paper and it's ON SALE through Wednesday during our Online Extravaganza promotion!  Get it while you can for 20% off ($8.76 instead of $10.95).  All online purchases made with me during this promotion will earn a FREE single tutorial from my Get Creative with Rachel and Debbie series.

   For my card I decided to use cherry cobbler cut to 11" x 4-1/4" with a side fold for the card base and the three DSP panels were cut to 3-3/4" x 1-1/2". The very vanilla panel is 3-3/4" x 2-3/4" with the cherry cobbler mat cut to 4" x 3".  My flower embellishment and sentiment fit perfectly!

   To create the crinkled layer flower I used both the Blossom and Boho Blossom punches  with other pieces of DSP from the pack and the "Merry Christmas" sentiment is from the Owl Occasions stamp set from the Holiday catalog.  Since it was a longer sentiment I had to create a mat for the Modern Label punch using two gumball green punches that were cut in half and added to the back of the very vanilla sentiment piece. 

  If you'd like to participate in this challenge, please make a card and post a comment along with a link on Cindy's blog HERE.  It's a great sketch and the DSP is fantastic - give it a try!  Thanks for stopping by and remember the Online Extravaganza ends on Wednesday!  Take advantage of this super sale while you can...

 

 

2012 Week 8 Stamp Case Scrapbook tutorial

  With the Thanksgiving holiday last week we are a bit behind, but never fear Week 8's tutorial is here!  Creating this scrapbook is a magical kind of gift, sure to delight for years to come.  Transform a simple clear stamp set case into a wonderful pull-out scrapbook that you can jam-pack with photos and memorabilia (yes, there are some pockets for you to keep those special mementos from the season).  It won't even take you too much time to complete the entire book.  It is made even easier by using a Simply Scrappin' kit. To sweeten it even more, you can make two scrapbooks from one Simply Scrappin’ Kit.

   Here is a partial view of the open scrapbook.  You can purchase this single tutorial for $3.95 by clicking on the PayPal button below.

Triple-time technique for a fabulous Thanksgiving Day card

  Happy Friday!  It's hard to believe Thanksgiving is coming up next week... and that is why our projects for Fabulous Friday over on the Sisters in Stamping blog this week are Thanksgiving cards.  I was inpsired by Rachel's triple-time technique card a couple of weeks ago and created this project for my Club members to make this month.  I used the Day of Gratitude stamp set for the collaged background and sentiment along with cajun craze, old olve, soft suede, baja breeze, early espresso and very vanilla for my color scheme.  I really like the way the baja breeze pops off the card!

  Here is a close-up of the sentiment - I used cajun craze and soft suede markers to add the two colors to the sentiment stamp and used a stamped-off baja breeze flower behind it to make it stand out a little more.  This was punched out with the extra large oval punch and mounted on an old olive card stock piece cut out with the decorative label punch.  I embellished the sentiment panel with a knot of baja breeze seam binding ribbon - such a great accessory!

  Although this is surely a wow technique, it is an easy one!  The only thing difficult about it is cutting all your layers (super-easy with our new Stampin' Trimmer!).  I love it and you will see more of these on my blog in the future!

2012 Week 7 Snow Much Fun Winter Decor tutorial

  It is Week 7 of our Twelve Weeks of Christmas tutorial series and this week our project is this Snow Much Fun altered picture frame.  This is a fun winter décor project that would be a great gift for the snowman lover in your life or keep it for yourself to display in your own home.  The great thing about this project is that it has a winter theme so you can leave it out even after the holidays are over!  The glittery snowflakes really dazzle and shine and add to the whimsy of this project.  Who wouldn’t want to receive a little joy in their gift?!
