Summer Smooches Projects

Last week I posted the Summer Smooches promotion for April, and I have to admit that I adore the products in this suite.  You can find it at the link below:

Here a couple projects that we created at my last Stamp Crazy downline meeting:

You can see that all three projects use the Summer Smooches Designer Series Papers... so pretty in person!  And the coordinating fabric brads are ONLY available during April.  They will not make it to the big book when it is published June 1st.

This card uses the Bright Blossoms stamp set and greeting from Teeny Tiny Wishes (must have set!). 

The adorable Petite Purse die - so easy to put together!

Sweet 3x3 gift card created with the Postage Stamp punch and a greeting from Teeny Tiny Wishes (AGAIN!)

Dresden Die Cut

One of our new dies in the Occasions Mini Catalog is the Dresden die.  It was specifically designed for fabric and quilting.  So how about a few samples:

A cute sample using Designer Series Papers... so it is versatile enough for papercrafting projects, too!

Hope you are inspired... these photos make me want to get out my sewing machine.  :)

Paper Doily

My friend Nichole asked me if I had any good ideas for the Paper Doily Sizzlits Die.  It's one of our new dies in the Occasions Mini Catalog.  It is one of the thin dies, so it only cuts through cardstock, designer papers, vellum, etc.  I've used it as a background on projects but my favorite thing to do with it is use only a portion for embellishment... think of it as a torn piece of lace.  :)

 

 

 

 

I love this sample... they used the Doily as a mask with a sponge and ink.  Cool!!!  :)

Build-a-Bear Workshop

It's been awhile since I posted any Build-a-Bear Workshop samples, but no worries because these ideas are going to knock your socks off!  Time to dust off those dies and start cranking out bears again.  :)

Aloha...

Aloha with a coconut drink... even better!

Cajun Bear?

Reminds me of girl scout... maybe there are Thin Mints in those presents?

You're out of this world!!!

Those were some of my favorites, but here's the full board with a couple more Build-a-Bear outfits.  Hope this inspires you to create some of your own combinations!

 

Happy Sunday, Stampers!!!  Thanks for stopping by - shelly

 

January Techniques Club

Every month my Techniques Club meets at my house for a fun evening and a challenge.  I call it a challenge because we create cards that are a "step up" from what I offer at parties and Stamp-a-Stacks.  Each month I teach two new techniques and we make two cards using these techniques.  Here's what we made in January (inspired by awesome samples on our demo website):

This card was all about our new Edgelits, Framelits and Adorned Accents Embossing.  You will love these new products from our Occasions Mini Catalog, and the stamp set used called Apothecary Art.

This is fun accent called Box Pleating.  It was created with the Rosette Die (and you all know that I love that die!)  The Designer Series Paper and Ribbon are from the Sale-a-bration catalog.  You can earn these products FREE with a $50 order beginning January 24th!  :)

Here's a close-up of the box pleating:

Please join me at my next techniques class on Monday, February 6th at 6:30 PM.  Cost is $5 to create the two cards or class is free with a $25+ order.  Hope to see you there!

Have a great week - shelly

Framelits Dies

Just a few more swaps and another new Big Shot offering from the Occasions Mini Catalog.  This time I will be showcasing our Framelits Dies... and a video that explains it all!  :)

How would you like to recreate these pretty projects:

These were all created by my friend Diana Ball - she's a very crafty girl!  :) 

Here's a tutorial on all you need to know about these Framelits Dies.  We have two collections and will be adding more... cannot wait!

 

 

Here's a couple more views of the box Diana created.  It holds Ghiradelli chocolates - yum!!!

Vintage Scrapbook Layout

Each month I offer a scrapbook layout class.  Next offering is Sunday, February 5th at 2:00 PM.  Please RSVP to shellyluvsstamps@earthlink.net by 2/1/12 if you would like to join us. Cost is $10 per 2 page layout.  Class fee is 1/2 price if you place a $25+ order the day of class.

Here's what we made in January:

I think it has a very vintage feel to it but would lend itself to elegant occasions or everyday black and white photos.  I used the Mocha Morning Speciality papers which are foiled and flock - very pretty in person!  My assistant Olivia (smile) helped me cut the Little Leaves sizzlets from our Brushed Gold Cardstock and Fancy Flowers.  Notice I also used the Embossing Folders for the flowers to give them texture and dimension.  I found this layout on our demo website - Stampin' Connections - access to this website is just one of the awesome perks of being a demo!!!!

Here's a better view of each page:

Easy Wow with Edgelit Dies

Big Shot Crazy!

There are so many new products for the Big Shot in the Occasions Mini Catalog... and I wanted them all!  :)

Here's a card created with our new Doily Sizzlit.  Most of our sizzlits are tiny little embellishment, but this is Sizzlit on Steroids!  It's almost the size of the card.  It's so pretty in person, and I've seen multiple uses for it.  Of course, I love it used full-size on this card, but I have seen it cut up into smaller pieces and used as bits of "lace" on cards and 3-d projects.

This is from my Shoebox Swap last weekend.  Denise brought this idea for everyone to stamp.  I added rhinestone gems to the butterflies.  Love the bit of bling!

Check out this video featuring Carrie Cudney from Stampin' Up.  She is fabulous, and I adore her mainstage presentations.  I hope to see her next week at Leadership in San Antonio.

 

 

If you need the Doily Sizzlit like I do, you can go to my website and order it online anytime 24/7.  Visit www.shellymay.stampinup.net or click on the link at the top of my blog.

 

Thanks for stopping by today!

Rosettes... Somebody Stop Me!!!

My favorite new product in the Occasions Mini Catalog is the Rosettes XL Bigz Die that you use in our Big Shot machine.  I love the look of the rosettes, and this die makes it so quick and easy to create perfect rosettes.

Check out this video on how to use the die to create rosettes: 

 

 

Now, here's what I've been making with my die:

 

So what to do with all these rosettes...

and a naked tree...

BAM!  What do you think of my Valentine's display?

I love it!

The heart ornaments are created with the Silver and Red Glimmer Papers.  They make great fillers!

Since taking these pictures, I have added even more rosettes!  I also created rosettes for a few other home decor projects that I will show you soon.  You need this die!  It is so fun!!  :)
