January 30th Stamp Camp

This is one of the cards my guests will be making January 30th at my monthly Stamp Camp. Click here for my calender of scheduled events or contact me today to schedule your own workshop!! I am happy to help you create whatever you like with your family and friends.

This card was SO easy to create and in no time at all...thanks to the Sizzix Big Shot and the new Bigz XL Curly Label die (item # 114506) I cut the Kraft CS at 4 1/4 x 11" adhered the Urban Oasis DSP (item # 113978) cut at 2 3/4" x 4 1/4 and alligned directly over the die..what is so great is that the curly label is magnetic and you can position where you want it!! The stamp set used is called Dream a Little (item # 113435) stamped in Cameo Coral and Blush Blossom. The inside flower was stamped then punched out with the coordinating Curly Lable Punch. Stamped the greeting using Sincere Salutations (item # 115068).Added some kraft taffeta ribbon and Viola! Happy Stampin!~Erin

January 30th Stamp Camp cont.

This is the 2nd card my guests will be making at my January 30th Stamp Camp. This idea was inspired by a sample for an accordian card shown at Scor-Pal. The measurements of the card stock (close to cocoa) are 4 1/4" x 11 and you score at 4", 6 1/2", 9" and 10 1/2". While card is flat you can adhere the DSP sizes 1 1/4 x 4", 2 1/4 x 4" and 2 3/4 x 4". You can then decorate and embellish as you wish! If you would like to add a belly band the size would be 1/2"x7". I took a picture of the card closed, to show that it fits easily into our medium envelopes. I love these accordian cards, they stand up on their own and the back side could be decorated with photos, thoughts what ever your 'heart' desires!! Happy Stampin'~Erin

At last...Bella Birds Memory Book (I love this DSP!)

As you can see in the photos, we used a variety of embellishments from ribbons, brads, Bigz dies, corduroy buttons to the new embosslits dies for the Big Shot and glitter... what project isn't complete until you add some dazzling diamonds?? We all had a fabulous time and some of the girls were first time stampers that did a terrific job!! Well done gals!!

Inside Samples of another Memory Book

This one was the Washington Apple DSP...hoping to add pictures of the kids in black and white and send to their Nana for Valentine's Day!!

Inside Samples of Memory Books

So here is the Urban Garden DSP book (I am SO glad that Stampin' Up! did not retire this beautiful paper!!) I should add that I hope to add a tutorial on how it's made...just wish I had more time...so be patient..but please contact me today if you have any questions..I am more than willing to help!! ~Erin
A friend of mine asked me to do a workshop for her making these memory books. I made three samples using the DSP shown (Bella Birds, Washington Apple and Urban Garden). Guests then chose which one they wanted to make: each packet contained ribbon, coordinating CS, DSP, and the on board chip board (all cut using the Stampin' Up! Sizzix Big Shot). I brought several stamp sets, inks, punches, and once they glued the DSP to the chipboard, I bound their book for them using the Bind-It-All.

Don't forget to order the 'Love You Much' bundle!!

January is coming to an end..and it looks as though we might finally get some snow!! My friend Kathleen mentioned the other day...flushing an ice cube down the toilet or sleeping with your P.J.'s inside out might bring on some pretty white flakes...I just hope she's right!! I have been looking funny in my P.J.'s and I've clogged all our toilets!! So don't forget to place your order for the 'Love You Much' bundle (item #115405 ) before it's too late!! January 31st is the last day to order. You can purchase directly from my Stampin' Up! website: www.erinsstampart.stampinup.net and click 'shop now' in the top right corner. This Friday at my monthly Stamp Camp we will be using this set to make a Valentine's Day card and treat bag using the Sizzix Scallop die. Let someone know how much you love them with the Love You Much bundle! Complete with Love You Much stamp set, Heart to Heart punch, and Candy Lane Designer Series paper, this bundle is full of love!
