Winter Bright, Simply Scrappin'® Kit



As you can see from the following post, I'm showing 10 cards and 8, 6x6 scrapbook pages I made using Stampin' Up!'s® Winter Bright Simply Scrappin'® Kit. In making all of these, I used less than 1/2 of the kit. In making the cards, I also used a 1/2 package of our Whisper White® Greeting Cards. I also added a few stamped sayings from various greetings sets found in the Stampin' Up!® catalog. Any questions, feel free to contact me.






6 X 6 Pages, Simply Scrappin'® Winter Bright


Here are 8 scrapbook pages I made with the Winter Bright, Simply Scrappin'® Kit. These kits are great! I can't wait to add my Christmas pictures to these pages. And remember, I still have over 1/2 of the kit left to make more! I plan on making 12 X 12 pages with the rest of the kit.

Three For You Punch Box Samples


I just love to make 3 X 3 cards and using Stampin' Up's!® Three For You Punch Box and their new textured paper make it fun and easy. All of the cards pictured use just that. At a recent class we made these cards along with a gift box for storing. Many of the cards shown were cased from Splitcoast. Please e-mail me with any questions.

Fabulous Flowers Card



This is one of the many great cards that we learned how to make at Stampin' Up's!® annual convention. I finally got around to making it and it turned out beautifully. It uses the Fabulous Flowers & Wanted stamp sets, Scallop Circle Punch & the new Pretties Kit. I also sewed the inside flower using our Very Vanilla Grosgrain ribbon. I just loved the way it turned out, what do you think?

Lovely As a Tree Christmas Card


This set has been a favorite since I became a Stampin' Up!® demonstrator in 2001. I demonstrate this set almost every year and stampers always love it. My favorite technique using Lovely As a Tree is Versamark® resist. Using our Glossy White card stock, I stamp the trees with Versamark. I also use Versamark with the dots in another favorite set, Itty Bitty Backgrounds, for the snow flakes. I then brayer my card stock with our Blue Frost Spectrum Pad. I then ink my stamp using our Basic Black pad and off set it so the resist set of trees look like a shadow. Finishing touches are white organdy ribbon and silver cording.

Coaster Photo Book




Here is the second project we did at the birthday party. The birthday girl chose to do a mini book. As you can see, her favorite color is green. So I did the projects using Certainly Celery Cardstock & Prints Designer Series Paper. They did five inside pages and also two mini envelope pages. They stamped using the Office Accoutrement and Priceless Stamp Sets. Of course, everything mentioned are Stampin' Up! ® products. We used the Zutters® Bind-it-all to put the book together. Covers were made with 3 1/2" coasters. Their were 9 girls (her Mom was here too) and it took about 2 1/2 hours to do the book and clipboard. All in all, they did a great job and I will probably be doing both of these at a future class.

Decorated Clipboard


I am doing a birthday party on Saturday for a group of teenage girls. The birthday girl requested we do a clipboard and mini photo album. I finished the clipboard this evening and thought I would give you a peek. It turned out great and I think I will be doing these at a future class. I purchased the clip board at a local office store and used Stampin' Up!® products to cover and embellish.

Wrap it Up!



These are two round paper mache boxes that I wrapped up using Stampin' Up!'s® Blizzard Designer Wrapping Paper. I also used the Chocolate Chip Satin Ribbon. I just love these colors together! You can find both of these items in the Holiday Mini Collection.

Drink Cup Party Favors



These are great party favors made from drink cups. We learned how to make these at the annual Stampin' Up!® Convention this past summer. I used SU's Petals & Paisleys Designer Series Paper, Big Flowers Stamp Set and and the new Scallop Circle Punch. I used thin strips of cardstock and put them through my crimper for inside the cups. What fun!

Stamp Camp Cards


These are the other 2 cards we made and I just love both of these Stampin' Up!® Stamp sets. "Thoroughly Thankful" and "Wanted". The one on the right was inspired by another demonstrator that came to my class, Jill Hillard. She gave me the idea of making the horse look like he is running.

Stamp Camp Cards



These are two other cards we also made at my stamp camp last week. The one on the left uses Stampin' Up!'s® Simple Delights from a Simply Sent Kit. The other one is done with a hostess set Garden Silhouettes. I also used the Define Your Life & Defining Alphabet Stamp Sets.
