CLOclub share: Candy Pockets

Well, since we're at it, I'll show you one more project made at our CLOclub meeting, this one from July!  I saw these cute little candy pockets at an artisan shop in Nevis, Minnesota while on vacation - and just knew my club members would love them!  I bought one, took it apart, and then made a sample for class.

Directions:
1.  Start with a 6" x 6" piece of double-sided Designer Series Paper.
2.  Fold in half, corner to corner, so you have a triangle shape.
3.  With the triangle in front of you, center 'point' up, fold the left point over so it faces 2 o'clock.
4.  Then fold the right point over so it faces 10 o'clock.
5.  The left and right points folded over should form a horizontal edge.
6.  Fold one upper point down over this horizontal edge and secure underneath with strong adhesive
     like Sticky Strip.
7.  Stamp desired sentiment, punch, layer, and attach with Dimensionals.
8.  Fill with candy and give away - and enjoy the oooh's and aaah's!

I made up a bunch more for CLOcards sales at boutiques and craft fairs . . .

CLOclub share: Mixed Bunch

Hello!  Today I have another CLOclub project for you - we made this card at our May meeting.  I love how striking a monochromatic color scheme can be!  And this card made good use of my retiring Not Quite Navy color suite.

The flower is popped up with Dimensionals and blinged up a bit with a pearl center.

One more daisy peeks out from behind the torn corner . . .

CLOclub share: Ciao Baby!

My CLOclub met last week - I sure love my group of ladies!!!  They are the best and I am enjoying getting to know each one just a little better each time we meet.

This week I am going to share some projects we made back in May. I realize many of the products are now retired since Sale-A-Bration and the Occasions catalog ended last spring, but if you purchased some of them maybe these ideas will give you renewed inspiration!

Today's card features one of my very favorite sets, "Ciao, Baby!" - which I sincerely wish had made it into the Annual Catalog.  BUT it's on clearance!!! You can still get that and the Cloudy Day embossing folder in the Clearance section of my Online Store - I know, 'cuz I just ordered another one!!

Each of the little punchies is raised with Dimensionals, and I just tied a double-wrapped knot in the ribbon because I was running short - still using up some retired grosgrain ribbon!  I left the inside blank - this could pass as a baby card - or just a pretty 'hi, friend!' card.

All supplies are Stampin' Up! unless otherwise noted

Card Recipe
Stamps:  Ciao, Baby!
Ink:  Pretty in Pink (retired)
Paper:  Early Espresso (current), Tea for Two DSP, Bashful Blue, Pretty in Pink (all retired)

October's stamp set . . . Best of Christmas!

Welcome to October!!!  I hope you are enjoying Fall as much as I am - I hope it goes on for a long while yet.  But . . . we also need to get in the mood for Christmas!  I usually start making my cards in October so I can take my time and enjoy the creative process.  I have my idea in place, some of the supplies are coming today in my Stampin' Up! order, and hopefully I'll get started soon!

As part of Stampin' Up!'s 25-year anniversary celebration, they are bringing back some of our favorite stamp images from the last quarter century and combining them into 12 collector sets, which will release - one set per month - during 2013. Even better, along with some great classic images, each "Best of" set will also include a never-before-seen image!

This month's Best Of set is all about Christmas!  It's called "Best of ... Christmas" and includes a couple of my all-time faves - Dasher and the Nativity Scene!  Throw in Santa and a brand new ornament stamp and you've got a great set for only $14.95!  Grab the matching punch and you'll have ornaments galore.

This set and all 12 sets will be available until the end of March, 2014!  Save up your proof of purchase stickers, put them on your Collector's Card, and for every 6 "Best of" sets you purchase, you can send in your Collector's Card for a FREE stamp set of your choice valued up to $14.95!

Print your own Collector's Card or ask me for one and get started on your exclusive BEST OF collection today!

Thanks for stopping by today!

My Friend: Wedding-inspired Card

Happy Monday, stampers!!  Did you enjoy seeing Vonda's wedding suite last week?  I hope you did - and that it inspired you to use your My Friend stamp set in a whole new way.

Since I had all my supplies out - that's the handiest time to 'make a bit more', right? - I made a few greeting cards.  I again inked up the rubber using sponge daubers, then stamped.  The 'hello' sentiment is stamped solidly with Night of Navy and the circular design is added with Bayou Blue.  The round swirl of the 'hello' just seems made to hold those little 'dandelion' whisps!

All supplies are Stampin' Up! unless otherwise noted

Card Recipe
Stamps:  My Friend
Ink:  Night of Navy, Old Olive, Bayou Blue (retired)
Paper:  Whisper White, Night of Navy, Bayou Blue (retired)
Extras:  sponge daubers
Inspired by:  Vonda's wedding!
