Holiday Extravaganza: Gift Giving, Jingle All the Way Glass Block

Thursday is my November DOstamperSTARS downline mini stamp camp!  We'll be making this cool "Jingle All the Way" Glass Block.   Plus we're having a 3-D item swap.  So I'll be sharing some of those next week.

 

For the glass block...

Holiday Extravaganza: Card Making, Snow Swirled & Punches

 

Here are a couple more cards from my Demonstrator Shoebox Swap.  Both feature the Snow Swirled Stamp Set #111690, $24.95.

 

This card was made by Darlene.  The focal point is a fun Scallop Edge (#112091, $15.95) punched feature.  This is so easy to acheive.  The key to it is start with a 2 3/4" square.  Then center your punch on each of the four sides. 

 

This card was made by Jan.  The fun ornaments are made with the 1 3/8" Circle & Scallop Circle Punches.  Plus, the scallop border at the top was made with the same Scallop Edge Punch as the first card.

Holiday Extravaganza: Card Making, Ski Slope DSP

 

At my demonstrator meeting last month, our swap theme was anything from the Holiday Mini Catalog.  In addition - it was a shoebox meeting.  What's a shoebox meeting?  Everyone designs a theme card.  They cut up the cardstock and prep a packet for each person.  Throw that and the stamps, ink and tools into a shoebox.  At the meeting - we pass the boxes around to make each other's card.  It's a fun meeting and I enjoy learning something new each time.

Here are some of the cards that we made:

 

This is Jessica's card.  I love her clean design with the Ski Slope Designer Series Paper and the new Little Snow Flurries.  The greeting is from the level one Hostess Set - Best Yet.  Love that hostess set!  It only takes $150 in orders to earn it free, plus you receive $15 worth of free product on top of that.  Check out Stampin' Rewards/Hostess Benefits here.

This card is made my Michelle.  She is our "resident artist" demonstrator.  Her cards always have a cool feature and has us looking at our stamps in different ways.  She also used the Ski Slope Designer Series Paper (only available until Jan 18th).  The tree is from the limited time offer Scandinavian Season stamp set.  The "Window" feature was created with the 1 1/4" Square punch.

I hope you enjoyed these two cards.  There'll be more in the coming days.

Party Hearty - Masculine

Here's another fun card from the Sock Monkey PJ Party!  This time my inspiration came from another demonstrator - Angie T.  I changed up the color for a more masculine card.  Actually - this card could go either way, don't you think?

This is such an easy/quick card to make, but has so many fun features!  From the NEW Top Note die (used on the inside and outside of the card) to the NEW Curly Label punch and NEW mini Library Clips.   The Let's Celebrate is from the NEW On Your Birthday stamp set.  I used the stamp-a-ma-jig to center it in the image from the Curly Label Punch Bundle (#112966, $33.95 for the punch and matching stamp set).

 

Supplies used:  Party Hearty, Cute and Curly, On Your Birthday Stamp Sets, Chocolate Chip, Baja Breeze & Whisper White Cardstock, Chocolate Chip Ink.  BIG SHOT & Top Note Die, Stamp-a-ma-jig, Stampin' Dimensionals, Baja Breeze In Color Ribbon

Cheers to You - Girly Style!

I knew right away when I started planning the projects for my Sock Monkey PJ Party that I wanted to use the Cheers to You stamp set (#111037, $17.95).  This is a very versatile set, great for men and women.  But of course - I wanted to go Girly!

So here's my Girly Margarita - Cheers to You card.  The drink was stamped and then colored with markers.  Add 2-way glue and Dazzling Diamonds to complete the image!  I punched it with the new 1-3/4" Circle Punch (such a great addition to the Stampin' Up! punch line.  Now we just need a 2" one!).  It was layered onto a scallop circle cut with my Big Shot machine using the Pennant Die.  It's a perfect layering mat for the 1-3/4" Circle.  Add some Polka Dots and a Scallop Edge at the bottom of the card and we've exploded with Girly!

   

Supplies used:  Cheers to You & Polka Dot stamp set, Pink Pirouette, Pretty in Pink & Whisper White cardstock, Sweet Always Designer Series Paper, Basic Black, Pink Pirouette Classic Inks, Apricot Appeal, Pretty in Pink & Regal Rose Stampin' Write Markers,  Big Shot & Pennant Die, Regal Rose 5/8" Grosgrain Ribbon, Stampin' Dimensionals, Crafters Tool Kit, Scallop Edge & 1-3/4 Circle punches, w-2-way Glue Pen, Dazzling Diamonds.

Sock Monkey PJ Party Fun!

Last month I tried a new style of Stamp Camp - A PJ Party!  My goal was to give my campers a relaxing evening of stamping, fun, food, games & socializing without feeling like they had to hurry up, make their projects and get home.  It seems like us women sometimes feel guilty when we take time for ourselves.  I really wanted to provide a relaxing, fun atmosphere - I hope that was accomplished.

I rearranged my living area to create a space for relaxing/lounging.  So I only had spots for 15 people and it filled completely.  I generally don't like fill up completely.  I like to leave a couple of empty chairs so people don't have to wait too long for a spot to open up.  But instead - I encouraged them to sit in the "lounge area", visit the candy table (see below) and enjoy the company of others while they waited for a spot to open.  I think at first - people were a little slow to warm to the lounge area, but by the end - I think everyone was enjoying the ability to just lounge!

Here are a few pictures from the camp:

CANDY TABLE

Everyone brought a treat to share at the candy table.  They each received a small treat bucket which they decorated with Stampin' Up! Thrills and Chills Rub-ons.  (ooh!  Speaking of Rubon's - stop by on November 10th for a special annoucement).

 

Actually - I forgot to take pictures of the candy table during the event.  There was tons and tons of candy!  This is only what was left.

 

GAMES WE PLAYED

Stamptionary - a take off of the Pictionary game but with Stampin' Up! clues.  The other game we played was a 3-handed stamp race.  This is Deb & Barb who I'm afraid didn't win the race.  But boy their card looked pretty good when they were done.

 

Check back for more of the fun and of course the stamping projects all week long!

Max is Frankenstein & 6 Scallop Envelope Basket

We had so much fun spending Halloween with our Grandson Max!  He's now 18 month's and my daughter, Angie dressed him up as Frankenstein.  He had no idea what the night was all about - but he LOVES being outside.  Though - I don't think he's ever gone for a walk when it's dark out.  So that was a new experience for him.

Here are a few pictures:

 

   

We gave him the little "basket" filled with his favorite goodies...a Box of Raisens and Fig Newtons.  Isn't he adorable?  What a fun night!

 

6-Scallop Envelope Basket

I made a couple of these baskets for my daughters.  They are really easy to make.  Use 6 scallop evelope die cuts - adhere them side by side.  After adhering the last one to the first one, stand it up to hold it's shape and trace it onto a piece of cardstock.  Cut out and insert into the bottom for the flaps to adhere to - that's it!

 

Supplies:  Big Shot Die Cut Machine & Scallop Envelope Die, Pumpkin Pie Cardstock and Ghostly Greetings Designer Paper & Sticky Strip

I hope your Halloween was filled with more treats than tricks!

Enjoy~Dawn O
