New Big Shot Designer Frames Embossing Folders!

Isn't that a cool rectangular frame to show off the stamped images from the Easy Events set?!  It's one of the new Designer Frames embossing folders!  This is one of the cards that our Big Shot Club members will be doing at this month's workshop!  The Designer Frames are sold in a set of two - the other is an oval shape.  The patterned paper is from the Flirtatious Specialty collection.

Grunge Rock Father's Day Card

This card features the Grunge Rock stamp set, that is currently part of the awesome National Scrapbooking Month Promotion, which means that it is 30% off through the end of May!  The Happy Father's Day greeting comes from a retired Occasions mini catalog hostess Level 2 set, but any sentiment could be substituted.  The distressing was done using the direct-to-paper technique, brushing the full surface of the ink pad across the cardstock.  The corners of the Very Vanilla cardstock were decorated using the scallop trim corner punch.

Our Scrapbook Project - Seventh Set

Queen for a Day

This card is another version of yesterday's post.  This one uses the Love Letter DSP along with the Artistic Etchings, You're a Gem, and Bring on the Cake stamp sets.  The crown is embellished with some basic rhinestone jewels. 

Birthday Greetings

This fun design showcases some of the level 1 Hostess In Color Designer Series Paper.  The idea for the offset layered 2 3/8" scallops comes from a design by Linda Callahan that was posted on Mary Fish's blog.  The two different colors on the "Wish Big" sentiment, which is from the Word Play set, were applied using Stampin' Write markers.

Framed Tulips Valentine

This card showcases the new Framed Tulips embossing folder for the Big Shot.  The images are from the hostess level 1 set Punch Potpourri and the sentiment is from the Teeny Tiny Wishes set.

Butterfly Prints Birthday

This card features an image from the Butterfly Prints set and the sentiment is from Curly Cute.  The butterflies were punched out using the butterfly punch and then tied with 1/8" taffeta ribbon to make the antennas (that doesn't seem like the right spelling, so excuse us if it isn't - HA!).  The scallop trim border and 2 1/2" circle punches were also used.  Although the DSP is from the retired Sweet Pea collection, any DSP can be substituted.   

6"x6" Christmas Scrapbook Pages

These awesome 6"x6" Christmas scrapbook pages use the Celebrations DSP and lots of other fun stuff like the Tags 'til Christmas, Word Play, and Grateful Greetings stamp sets.  A variety of punches were used for the images.  We MAY be scheduling a class to do these, so let us know if you like them, and we'll see if we can fit them in to our schedule.

Holiday Celebrations

The "Celebrations" Designer Seriers Paper found in the 2010-11 Stampin' Up Idea Book & Catalog easily lends itself to birthday projects as an obvious "celebration"; however, these Christmas/Holiday cards incorporate the paper into their designs.  The variety of sentiments used are from the Grateful Greetings and Many Merry Messages stamp sets.  The additional layered elements are done using different sized circle and scalloped punches. 

World Card Making Day Class

These are the card samples for the class that we'll be holding on World Card Making Day, which is Saturday, October 2!  There are six coordinating cards and box.  The idea was CASE'd from LeeAnn Greff  The project features the Awash with Flowers stamp set and lots of other fun Stampin Up materials - Perfect Polka Dots embossing folder, Fabulous Phrases stamp set, scallop trim border punch, and the coordinating In Color 1/2" stitched-poly ribbon.  The colors used are Pear Pizzazz, Poppy Parade, and Whisper White.
