Touch of Kindness

Here is another project we did at this past Sunday's workshop, which featured products from the NEW Summer mini catalog.  This card was made using the Touch of Kindness set.  It's a simple card that is sure to bring a smile!

Bloom with NEW Flower Fest Set

This is the scrapbook page we did at our workshop this past Sunday.  The new Flower Fest set out of the Summer mini catalog includes several images that can be punched out - the one used on this page was stamped with VersaMark on multiple coordinating colors of cardstock and then punched out with the 2 3/8" scallop circle.  The strip of patterned paper on the bottom is the Presto Patterns specialty DSP sponged with Rich Razzleberry ink.  The scalloped Wild Wasabi strip was cut using the Tasteful Trim die for the Big Shot.  The "BLOOM" letters are from the Jayne's Type Alphabet set.  We hope you have the opportunity to celebrate National Scrapbooking month during May!

Inked and Embossed Monogram Card

The background of this card was created by using the brayer to apply ink on the Petals-a-Plenty embossing folder and then running it through the Big Shot.  The monogram letter is from the Broadsheet Alphabet set.

Mojo Monday Week #177 Challenge

Here's a simple card for this week's Mojo Monday challenge, which incorporates a stamped image from the Sale-a-Bration set Punch Bunch, as well as some of the paper and die-cut adhesives from the Ice Cream Parlor DSP pack.  The Daffodil Delight scallop square was embossed with the Stampin' Up! exclusive Petals-a-Plenty folder.

Friends Forever

This card was created with the Just Believe stamp set.  The color scheme is clean and simple - Crumb Cake, Early Espresso, and Very Vanilla.  The Top Note die and Square Lattice embossing folders add shape and texture.  We would have to guess that any friend would be happy to receive this card to let them know they are special.

Thankful Banner

This banner was made using the Sizzix Two Tags Bigz die.  The Broadsheet Alphabet and Day of Gratitude stamp sets, along with the Autumn Spice Specialty Design Series Paper, were used to decorate the tags.  This banner project will be offered in our "Give Thanks" class that will be offered on Sunday, November 21st.

Movers & Shapers Treat Box

Our Big Shot Club workshop is next week and we are demonstrating the Movers & Shapers dies.  We found this great project idea from Dawn Griffith while searching the internet, complete with a great video tutorial.  The Movers & Shapers dies are so versatile, as Dawn demonstrates with this pouch box.  The ornament is part of the Holiday Windows Magnetic Movers & Shapers set.  The striped DSP is from the Celebrations collection and the stamped images are from the Sweet Season set.  The images were punched out with the scallop circle and decorative label punches.  Inside the pouch box, there is a small cello bag holding some hard candies, and then the bag and flap are tied together with 3/8" Real Red taffeta ribbon.
