The Stamp Shack has moved to 118 S. Buckeye in Kokomo, IN.  It is now one door to the left of the old location.  Check out my Calendar of Events for upcoming stamping and scrapbooking events.

Lots of Big Shot

This card is perfect for a wedding, graduation, new job or anything worth congratulating.  This card features lots of Big Shot dies.  The scallop frame is from the Frame,oval scallop Bigz die.  It was then inserted into the Stampin' Up! Perfect Polka Dots Textured Impressions Folder (Occasions Mini) and ran through the Big Shot.  The Certainly Celery leaves were cut out using the Stampin' Up! Little Leaves Sizzlit die.  The embossed Cameo Coral flower was cut out with the Stampin' Up! Cherry Blossom Embosslit Die.  The small Cameo Coral flowers were cut out using the Boho Blossoms punch.  The Congratulations stamp from the Well Scripted Stamp Set (Occasions Mini).

Are you wanting to learn how to use all the different types of Big Shot dies and possibly purchase the Big Shot on a lay-a-way plan?  Check out my Big Shot club/class.  More details can be found on the right or drop me an e-mail.

Love You Much and embossing

Pictures do not do this card justice.  I just love the white embossed scrolls on the white card.

This card will also be created in the Sweetheart Stamp-a-Stack this weekend.  This is a great card for an anniversary, a valentines,  or just to tell someone that you love them.  The embossed image is from the Stampin' Up Baroque Motifs.  This card also features Well Scripted and I {heart} hearts.  The new small heart punch cuts out the love heart perfectly.

More Valentines

Stampers attending my Sweetheart Stamp-a-Stack this weekend will also be creating this card.

I just love the new Stampin' Up! Perfect Polka Dots Textured Impressions Folder.  It is found in the Occasions Mini Catalog.  The polka dots ARE just perfect.  The stamp set I {heart} hearts was used to stamp the red polka dot heart in the black scallop.  This stamp comes in wood mount or clear mount.  When you purchase this stamp set from now until Feb. 28, Stampin' Up! will donate $2 to the American Red Cross Haiti Relief and Development Fund.  Way to go Stampin' Up!  

The Love You Much stamp is from the Well Scripted stamp set (Occasions Mini).  The clear mount block made it really easy to stamp this image perfectly on the red heart.  The jumbo wheel I {love} love was used to create the red words image behind the black scallop.  The Stampin' Up! Pennant Bigz XL die was used to create the black scallop.  It fits the 1 3/4" circle punch perfectly.

Cards for our Sweeties

This coming Sunday, I am holding a Sweetheart Stamp-a-Stack at the Stamp Shack.  This event is featuring cards for our sweeties - Valentines, weddings, and anniversaries.

Here are the cards that we will be creating. Everyone will create 2 of each card.

The first card I will be featuring is a Valentines card.

This card features the Stampin' Up! stamp set Love Bandit.  This set can be found in the Occasions Mini catalog.  It comes in both wood mount and clear mount.  I used the clear mount.  I was able to place the rubber image for the tree and the raccoon on the same clear block and stamp it all at once.  The background polka dots is stamped with the stamp Dot, Dot, Dot.  It is also found in the Occasions Mini.  It is an under $10 stamp.  The little red heart was punch out with the new small heart punch, also in the Occasions Mini.  Check back tomorrow for another Valentines card.
 

Off to Leadership!

Yesterday, I arrived in Phoenix for the Stampin' Up! Leadership Convention.  I love getting together with fellow demonstrators from around the country (well actually world now).  I always bring a gift the lucky demonstrator that I share a hotel room with and then I also bring gifts for a few other lucky demonstrator friends.

Here is a gift that a couple demos have received.

This scrapbook canvas was created on Sweat Pea Designer Series Paper.  This paper stack contains 48 sheets of DSP.  There are 24 different designs.  This paper stack is out of the Stampin' Up! Occasions Mini.  I used Stampin' Up! Alphabet Simple Letters Bigz Dies to create the title.  I cut the Chocolate Chip butterfly out of a Decor Elements sheet using the Stampin' Up! Beautiful Butterflies Bigz Die.  Do you know that the Decor Elements sheets come in 22 different colors know?  Yes, they do!!!!  So cool.

The Tempting Turqoise and So Saffron butteries were created with the new Stampin' Up! Beautiful Wings Embosslits Die (Yes, out of the Occasions Mini).  Just luv it!

 
Here is gift that another friend is receiving.  This paper is from the same DSP stack as the gift above.  You can tell that there is a wide variety of designs in this pack.  The library clips used in both projects are from the 1/2" Library clips pack.  The flower brads used in both projects are from the Flower Assortment Designer Brads. 

Both scrapbook pages were adhered to an Artist Canvas Panel found at a craft store.

 

Christmas Layout

Okay, if you are like me.  You now have loads of Christmas pictures that need to be scrapbooked.  Last month at Scrapbook club, the girls created this layout.

The big snowflakes on the background of this page are flocked.  They are really cool.

This layout features the Christmas Cocoa Designer Series Paper from the Stampin' Up! Holiday Mini catalog.  It also features the following Stampin' Up! products - Dasher Stamp Set, Real Red Polka Dot ribbon, Jumbo Snowflake punch, Clear Square Button, Clips Assortment, and Mini Library Clips.

Both Scrapbooking and Stamping Clubs are starting this month.  Both clubs meet once a month.  At each club meeting you make projects that feature Stampin' Up! products.  At Scrapbook club you get to create a  2-page scrapbook layout each month.  At Stamp Club you create 2 different craft projects.  Each club shows you how to use our products and learn new techniques.  At each meeting, each member is required to purchase  a minimun of $25.  The meeting itself is free.  At one of the 6 meetings, you get to be the hostess and receive FREE stuff.  Every memember gets her (or his) own copy of the 2009-2010 Idea Book and Catalog.  If you would like to join or would like more information, just let me know.

I just love giving gifts in cute, handmade gift boxes.  When I saw the paper for this box, I had to make it!  This was also one of the projects at my quarterly downline meeting.
