November Club Day...

Today was club day! I have so much fun on club days. They are a blast. I just wanted to share the projects that we made today. We made this Thanksgiving/Grateful card...
I love this card. I got this card idea at that Demo meeting I went to. Love this! So cute. The leaves (from the "Falling Leaves" set) are punched out with the 1 1/4" punch...and that makes this card a breeze to complete. Here is a close-up...

The background is wheeled with the coordinating jumbo wheel. I forget how GREAT the wheels are. They are a lot of fun to use!

The next project we did was this Post-It note holder. There is even space to hold a pen!

Can I even tell you HOW MUCH I love this penguin! :) He is SO CUTE! He is from the Cold & Cuddly stamp set that is in the mini catalog. Here is a close-up so you can see the Post-Its...

The iceberg I even sprayed with the Shimmer Spray I made with the Frost White Shimmer Paint. You can't really tell in the photo but it's super fun in real life. And then when you open it up...here is your Post-It pad to write on...

I hope you enjoy! Thanks for visiting! I am starting a new club round in January. Email me at designwithink@gmail.com if you have questions/would like to know more/want to join/etc. You can live by me and attend in person or you can live long distance and still take advantage of the benefits. You will get two free projects each month, get to grow your stamping supplies on a budget, and even earn FREE stuff! Let me know if you would like to know more! :)

Sweet Season...

Sharing a few Christmas cards with you today. These were done with the "Sweet Season" stamp set. I actually made these at our Convention in August. I thought they were so cute. This first one is a "Gate card" and the Designer Series Paper piece and ribbon tied around the card is actually a belly band. Here is the card...

And then when you remove the belly band (that is in the bottom left corner of the bottom photo), the card opens and you get to see the fun ornament on the inside. That stamp set is called "Tree Trimmings" and is just darling! :) And of course you have to stamp a coordinating envelope. :)

This next card is actually using the same ribbon and stamp sets as the last card. The great thing about this ribbon is it has polka dots on one side, and just the plain stitching on the other. So depending on your project and what look you want, you can use the dots or not. Just FYI. :) On to this other card...

I REALLY love this one!!! Although there is some cutting...it is such a QUICK card. And it's on Kraft...my fave. :) And of course there is a matching envelope. :) Here is a close up of the ornaments...

Notice that clear Rhinestone Brad? I love the detail that adds. I hope you enjoy these cards! Thanks for visiting!

Christmas Is Coming...

I am sure lots of you are trying to figure out your Christmas card for the year right now. :) Here are a couple ideas for you. (Made these cards at our Demonstrator Card Making Night awhile back.) On to the cards...
I love this snowflake stamp set. It's one of my faves...just better get some more use out of it! This is the "Serene Snowflakes" stamp set that is in the mini. FUN! The saying is from the "Christmas Punch" hostess stamp set. LOVE this one. Here's a bit of a close-up...

I am loving this next card. It is using the FABULOUS flocked paper that is in the "Christmas Cocoa" Specialty Paper collection. The white is all flocked and it is FABULOUS in real life! LOVE it!!!

Love the ornament stamp set and coordinating punch as well. Seriously....this card was a BREEZE to make! Too minutes! It was marvelous! :) The "o" in the joy on the ornament is from the pretties kit...one of the half pearls. Love that touch. Here is a close-up...

Hope you enjoy! Thanks for visiting!!!

Fifth Avenue Scalloped...

I have a fun and quick project to share today. I made a notebook completely from scratch and it was a lot of fun. I like projects that are simple, quick, and give that WOW still! :) (Don't we all! :) ) Here is the project...

The notebook cover and back and inside pages are all done with Stampin' Up!'s Scallop Square Die and Big Shot. I was SO EXCITED when I saw this die in the new catalog. And I have been having lots of fun using it. (AND....GOOD NEWS! This die is part of the Holiday Extravaganza Promotion going on right now. SO...this die would go towards the $50.00 you need to get a FREE Decor Element! See THIS POST for more info.) So how did I make this? Well it was really easy. I took two pieces of chipboard, and just covered each side with some Designer Series Paper (DSP). I used the Tea Party Designer Series Paper. The chipboard and DSP was 5x5. So you need 2 chipboard pieces and 4 DSP pieces. (I used Stampin' Up's glue stick to adhere. It really is the best glue stick I have ever used. It holds really well and is good for projects like this.) Then I just ran each covered chipboard piece through the Big Shot, using the Scallop Square die. Cut some lined notebook paper to 5x5 and run that through the Big Shot, using the same die. Stacked it all together and used my Crop-A-Dile to punch a hole in the corner. Put my binder ring in the hole and tied some ribbon on it for decoration. Then decorate the cover and you are done. Here is a close-up of the flowers...

I used the Fifth Avenue Floral stamp set. I just embossed them with white embossing powder on the different colored card stocks. (Pretty in Pink, Almost Amethyst, and Certainly Celery). Then cut out and used my VersaMarker to color in different parts of the flower so it would have some shading.

Here is a pic of the notebook opened. The back cover is covered the same...the inside has this same Almost Amethyst paper, and the back cover has the stripes. Hope you enjoy! Let me know if you have any questions! Thanks for visiting!
