Challenge #231 Back to School- Teacher Gifts

Hey there crafty people!

I hope everyone's having a good school year so far!  I now have a sophomore in high school, one in 8th grade, a 2nd grader, and my last one started preschool!  So, a few hours of empty house most days, but more teacher to make gifts for...so it all works out!

So this challenge is all about the teacher gifts or other Back To School projects you've been creating.  My share for you today is my 2nd grader's teacher gift.  She got the same teacher my (now) 8th grader had for 2nd grade, so I already know she's fabulous!

While school supply shopping, I found something I have never in 11 years of school shopping seen-half size composition notebooks!  And they're not just smaller size....they were like someone cut the composition notebook in half across the middle and used the top and bottom separately!  So cute!  I knew immediately I had to alter them.  I usually also make my kids' teachers a stack of note cards with envelopes that they can use to communicate with parents in the first weeks of school.  So I put the covered notepad, the cards, envelopes, and a matching pen all together in a cello bag and wrapped it with ribbon.  Perfect!

Don't forget you can always check the LNS Challenge Blog to see what the rest of the design team has cooked up and to upload your sample so we can all admire it!

As always, thanks for looking!

Challenge 229 - Specialty Paper

Hey there crafty people!

Challenge 229 - Specialty Paper

So, the challenge is to use specialty paper - DSP, Vellum, Window Sheets, Glimmer Paper...whatever speaks to ya!  My card for you today is a little bit autumn...my favorite season...and it is modeled after one I did for a swap I participated in at Convention this year.  I thought the concept and the use of the window sheet in this way was really clever.  I put that together with a couple tried and true techniques that I haven't personally used in a while...so it truly was a challenge for me.  After stamping the larger leaf inside and out, I stamped the image onto a sticky note and cut it out.  I then used the sticky note copy as a mask to cover the large leaf while I stamped both layers of the smaller leaf.  As you can see, I also used the rock and roll technique on the inside of both leaves.  I think this is the perfect stamp set to use that technique for, as it just gives such a great look to the leaves.   I'd love to hear what you think!

Don't forget-as always, you can check out the LNS Challenge Blog for samples and inspiration, and upload your own sample once you've finished.  We'd love to have you play along!

Supplies Used:

Stamp Sets: Gently Falling, Thoroughly Thankful (retired)

Back from Convention and LNS Challenge 228!

Hey there crafty people!

It's been a whirlwind summer so far with kids out of school, camps, family vacation, and Convention (which is Mommy's annual no-kids vacation!) but now I'm home and have tons of things to share with you!  You'll hopefully be seeing lots of posts from me in the coming weeks as I try to keep you informed about all the specials that are going on right now, the events I have coming up, and all the new products that are coming out!  So, please bear with me, I promise, I'm not just trying to flood your inbox!

OK.....on to the current (well, semi-current) LNS Challenge!  I was supposed to have posted some time ago, but it seems my philosophy lately has been leaning toward "better late than never", so here goes.  Don't forget to go here to check out what the other design team members have done, and upload your sample when you've finished.  We'd love to have you play along!

Challenge 228 - Fancy Folds

The fold on this card is not super fancy, but the card is!  This was a card I made at a shoe box swap I joined at the last minute at Convention.  Some of you may know Miss Pesci (Michelle Lyon) from around the blogosphere...and she hosted the cutest shoe box swap while we were in Salt Lake City.  This was actually her project that we all created, and I love it.  As you can see from the second pic, the card holds a gift card inside!  Sneaky and cute!  And I just love all the bling!

This week's challenge is all about the PAR-TAY!  We want to see your party projects...invitations, decorations, thank yous, whatever you've created for your special events!

To check out the awesome projects the rest of the design team has created, and to upload your own projects, click HERE to visit the LNS Challenge site!

The project I have for you today is a bundle of the stuff I've created and printed for my son's birthday party.  I used the Under Construction Birthday Ensemble Digital Download that came out a while back.  

(Here's the stock photo)

Since my little guy is turning 4, and I'm not sure how much longer he'll be into cars and trucks and digging in the dirt, I thought this was a perfect time to use it.  The ensemble comes with a TON of stuff that you can just add your party info to and print.  Decorations, including banner pieces, water bottle labels, treat containers, candy bar wrappers and signs for things like the "Gift Loading Zone" are all included as well as the invitation template, a thank you postcard template, a HUGE stamp set, and more...all coordinating!  I haven't cut out the banner pieces and other decorations yet, so I am just showing you the invites and thank yous (inside and out...front and back).

If you haven't tried My Digital Studio yet, don't forget, you can always get a 30 day free trial from my website!  Just click HERE to get started today!  Plus, don't forget-until June 15th, there's a 25% discount on all print products...so whatever you decide to create, you can print it for less!

full design and print capabilities

ALL of the Stampin' Up! colors-current and not-so-current (NOTHING EVER RETIRES IN MDS!)

Ok...as always, thanks for looking!  Comments and suggestions welcome!

Challenge 222-Sorry to see you go!

Hey there crafty people!

This week's challenge over at the Late Night Stamper's Challenge Blog is to create something using soon-to-be-retired products.  My project involves a little bit of new stuff, with a few retiring things thrown in, so hopefully I haven't bent the rules too much.  :)

I CASEd this from Amy Storrie, and made it as a housewarming gift for a dear friend and former neighbor who just bought her first house.  She has been through a tremendous amount of stuff over the past few years, but with a wonderful husband, a healthy brand new baby girl, and now a beautiful new house, she has finally come out on top.  When I got this new stamp set in the mail, this particular saying made me think of her.

I hope you all enjoy it, and that you'll stop by to play along!  You can check out the design team's samples, and submit your creation HERE.

Supplies Used:
Stamps: Feel Goods, A Round Array, Papillion Potpourri
Cardstock:  Calypso Coral, Pool Party, Gumball Green, Daffodil Delight, Whisper White
Ink:  Calypso Coral
Accessories:  This n That Epic Day DSP, Neutrals Designer Series Paper Stack, Itty Bitty Punch Pack, Big Shot, Blossom Party Die, Frames Collection Framelits, Apothecary Accents Framelits, Scallop Circle Punches, Bird Punch, Designer Build a Brads, In Color Designer Printed Brads, In Color Dahlias, Antique Brads, Very Vintage Designer Buttons, Crumb Cake Tulle, Basic Jewels Rhinestones, Mini Glue Dots, Stampin' Dimensionals

Challenge 221-Celebrate!

Hey there crafty people!

My sample for this week's challenge is a digital creation.  My youngest brother is graduating High School this year, and since it's getting that time....we thought we better get a move on the invitations!  This is a tri-fold card created in My Digital Studio, but the image shows the card before it's folded.  For the front of the card (the left 1/3 panel of the card) I loosely CASEd a subway art creation by Janet Wakeland.  She is an MDS pro, so if I'm ever unsure of how to do something with my software or need a place to start, I usually go to her blog.

I hope you guys come over to the LNS Challenge Blog and give this week's challenge a go!  Get all the details, view the design team's samples for inspiration, and then upload your own creations, all by clicking HERE.

As always, thanks for looking!

Challenge 220- Switcheroo!

Hey there Crafty People!

I'm back with my sample for this week's Late Night Stamper Blog Challenge.  This week, the design team challenges you to switch it up a bit-that is, use a card as inspiration for a scrapbook page or other 3D project, or vice versa.  Maybe you've seen a sweet scrapbook layout that you want to scale down a bit into a card-GREAT!  Check out plenty of inspiration and post your own fabulous creation at the Late Night Stampers Blog!  Can't wait to see what you come up with!

So, my sample for this week is a collection of goodies I made for my husband's 2 secretaries at work...since this past Wednesday was Secretary's Day.  I used the Happy Hello Simply Sent Kit that you may have gotten for FREE during Sale-A-Bration!  I got the idea for the purse from a Facebook post by Lyssa Zwolanek and CASEd the cards from a sample I saw by Josee Smuck. Both of these ladies are fantastic Stampin' Up! demonstrators whose work I love.

Here's the inspiration images:

Supplies:

Stamps:  Oh Hello, Perfect Words

Ink: Daffodil Delight, Basic Gray, Baja Breeze and Gumball Green Stampin' Write Markers

Cardstock:  Whisper White, Baja Breeze, Daffodil Delight, Basic Gray

Accessories:  International Bazaar DSP, Big Shot, Chevron TIEF, Happy Hello Simply Sent Kit, Baja Breeze Seam Binding Ribbon, Daffodil Delight 1/8" Stitched Grosgrain Ribbon, Antique Brads, Stampin' Dimensionals

Challenge 217-Candy Bar Inspiration!

For my card, I used the colors of a Mr. Goodbar.  It's not necessarily my favorite candy bar, but from the moment I heard of this challenge, it's the one that kept popping into my head, and I DO like the colors, so, why not?!

Ink:  Real Red, Early Espresso, Daffodil Delight

Cardstock:  Whisper White, Early Espresso, Real Red

VC Rocks Blog Hop and BLOG CANDY!

Hello crafty hoppers!

Are you enjoying the hop so far?  I hope so...there's a lot of fabulously creative ladies in this group, and I love a reason to visit each of their blogs all in the same day.  My "ideas" folder is overflowing!  If you arrived here from an email, and not from the blog hop path, you're probably wondering what I'm talking about.  This weekend is the first Blog Hop for the VC Rocks group's 2012 Season.  This is an amazing group of Stampin' Up! demonstrators who get together online and host all sorts of challenges, blog hops, and lively conversations in an effort to celebrate the release of the new Stampin' Up! Idea Book & Catalog.  It's really alot of fun to see what the ladies have to post, so please, check out the hop.

To start from the beginning, click HERE to go to the VC Rocks group homepage.  

Or you can just continue from me, and it will eventually loop you back around.  

So....here we go!

Today's share is a set of coasters I made using the Beau Chateau DSP, which of course will be retiring in just 13 short days.  This was one of my favorite paper packs of this year's catalog, and I will be sad to see it go.

To turn these tiles into coasters, I used a Mod Podge-like glue to adhere the DSP to the top of the coaster.  Then I applied 3 more thin coats of the glue on top of the paper, drying in between each coat with my heat tool.  This not only adheres the paper to the coaster and gives it a glossy look, but it waterproofs it from my sweaty ice-cold sweet tea glass!  To give the coasters a more finished look, I used my Crumb Cake Stampin' Write Marker to color the edges of the coasters so they wouldn't be such a stark white.  Finally, I applied cork feet to the bottom to make them more stable, and more end-table friendly.

BLOG CANDY!

I hope you like today's project...and at the end of the weekend, I will draw a name from all of my current subscribers/follwers, and the lucky winner will receive a set of these coasters and a few other goodies as blog candy!  So, if you like what you see, please be sure to sign up as a follower!

Ok...off you go to see what Tania has in store for you over at Something to Scrap About.

Click HERE to go to the next stop-and Happy Hopping!

Supplies Used:

Beau Chateau DSP
Mod Podge Glossy Decoupage Liquid
Stampin' Write Marker (Crumb Cake)
Cork "feet"
