Since I just posted the other projects that we’ll be making at my Great Gifts Stamp Camp on Saturday October 18th, I thought I’d put up some photos of the other class: tile coasters. I’ve posted these photos on here before, so you may recognize them.

At the class, you’ll make a set of four coasters. I’ll have my favorite stamps for coasters out for you to choose from.

Stamped Candles

As soon as I was done deciding which ornaments to make for the Ornaments Class, I began to design the candles for the Stamped Candles Class. We’ll be making two candles at the class.

candle class 1 by you.

This one is made with the Baroque Motifs stamp set and class attendees will make the coordinating belly band to go around the candle.

The second is made with the Lovely as a Tree stamp set. I tried so hard to get a picture of the way the image sparkles on the candle, but I just couldn’t do it justice. You’ll just have to trust me. Its very pretty.

In preparation for my upcoming Ornaments Class, I’ve been making lots of different paper Christmas ornaments. I’ve finally narrowed down the three that we’ll be making at the class. Here they are:

I love making these! This weekend I made a bunch of ornaments with the basic design of the ones above, but altered in different ways. I’ll post those later. They’ll also be on display at the class.

Stationery Box Class

September 3, 2008 at 12:34 pm | In Accessories- Designer Series Papers, Events, Projects, Stamp Sets, Stampin' Up! | 2 Comments

Oooh, I am loving the new Urban Garden Designer Papers! They are gorgeous!!

Just look at what I made with them! It is a stationery box that holds 4 full-size cards (w/ envelopes), 4 3×3 cards (w/ envelopes), 4 tags, a notebook to keep track of birthdays, or who’ve you sent cards to, and a pocket to hold postage stamps. Isn’t it beautiful?

You can make this very same stationery box at my class on Saturday, September 27th @ 2PM. For only $20! you will make everything pictured here. You will receive the templates with instructions at the class. Then it will be easy to make more boxes at home. Wouldn’t these make terrific gifts? (RSVP & Prepay by Weds 9/17.)

Class participants will need to bring: a paper cutter w/ a scoring blade, Sticky Strip, Snail Adhesive, and Paper Snips (or other scissors). If you need to order these items, please let me know by 9/17 and I will have them waiting for you at the class. Thank you!

The credit for the idea of this fabulous box goes to Jackie Topa. Thanks, Jackie!

Home & Family Scrapbook

April 14, 2008 at 4:09 pm | In Events, Projects, Stampin' Up! | No Comments

Boy have I been busy! This weekend I made a handful of cards & boxes, which I will post later.

Last week, I completed the pages for my 6×6 Home & Family Scrapbook! I used only the papers, card stocks & self-adhesive die cuts from the Home Again Simply Scrappin’ Kit. This was a stretch for me because I love to use ribbons and other accessories on my scrapbook pages. But I did it and I am so happy with the finished project!

You can make the same book at a class I’m holding on National Scrapbooking Day (Saturday May 3rd). View my Events page to get the details on my class.

Here’s a teaser:

I love Rub-Ons

January 22, 2008 at 3:19 pm | In Accessories- Rub-Ons, Events, New Products, Projects, Stamp Set- Baroque Motifs, Stamp Sets, Stampin' Up! | No Comments

We had a great time at my Mystery Hostess party last Friday. Here are two of the raffle prizes. They were both made with the Eastern Elegance Rub-Ons. Rub-Ons are a new product in the Stampin’ Up! catalog. I’ve never used them before & I was surprised at how easy these are to use! And they turn out so nicely. I love how well they complement the stamp sets & designer papers.

*For those who want to try Rub-Ons, make sure that you attend one of my Sale-A-Bration workshops (Feb 1st- Mar 15th)!

Stamp Set: Baroque Motifs

Ink: Pretty in Pink, Chocolate Chip

Paper: Whisper White Cardstock

Accessories: Eastern Elegance Rub-Ons, Stampin Sponge, Tag Corner Punch, Rectangle Hand-held Punch, White 1/4″ Grosgrain Ribbon

I got this cute jar at Ikea. It was in a 2 pack for less than $3! I can always find lots of cute stuff to stamp on & decorate at Ikea!

Paper: Le Jardin Designer Series Paper

Ink: Zig-Painty Pen (for the gold trim on the lid)

Accessories: Eastern Elegance Rub-Ons

This little jar was a jam container. I just soaked it in warm water & the paper wrapper came off easily. Then I filled it with lots of long ribbon scraps!

Emergency Birthday Card Kit

January 17, 2008 at 2:12 pm | In Accessories- Markers, Events, Projects, Stamp Set- Eat Cake, Stamp Sets, Stampin' Up! | 1 Comment

Hooray! I finally finished making my

Emergency Birthday Card Kit!!

It is soooo cute! I used the Cutie Pie Designer Series Papers and the Eat Cake stamp set to make 8 different long cards & matching envelopes. Then I made a really simple little pouch to hold it all in!

So, now you’ll want to make a kit yourself, don’t you? Well, lucky you, I am holding a class next Friday@ 7pm! I’ll have everything pre-cut for you. You’ll also receive color photos of each of the cards, with the dimensions of all the pieces you’re using, so they will be super easy to assemble and you’ll be able to re-create more of them in a snap at home after the class! Cost is $20 ($18 for stamp club members). Contact me by Wed Jan 23!
*Only 2 spots left!

Mystery Hostess Make & Takes

January 7, 2008 at 6:46 pm | In Events, New Products, Projects, Stamp Set- Time Well Spent, Stamp Sets, Stampin' Up!, Technique- Watercolor Wonder Crayons, Technique- Watercoloring, Techniques | 2 Comments

I’m still bummed that I couldn’t have my New Catalog party last Friday. But now I’ll be able to make some of the raffle prizes even better. :) There’s a package of brand new Rub-Ons on their way to my house right now! And I know just what I’m going to do with them first. hee hee

I hope you’ll be able to make it on the 18th. I want to show you what we’ll be doing for the Make & Take.

It’s a matching 3×3 card and a snack-size Hershey bar. I used a brand new hostess set called “Time Well Spent”. It is a great set for making notes and cute goodies for friends.

I’ll be doing a quick watercoloring demonstration at the party for those who’d like to see it.
