April Club Projects

At our last club meeting in April, we created projects using a Stampin' Up! Sneak Peek and items that were in the Occasions mini and are no longer available! So please forgive me for posting these items a little late!

The first card is the sneak peek! You could purchase this stamp set and DSP with a qualifying order or earn free with a qualifying workshop. These will be available again in July as they are from the new catalog that goes into effect on July 1! I also used the In Stitches wheel that was in the mini. I cut the wheel apart so that I could put the stitching marks where I wanted and I can use one set of stitches at a time!

All supplies are Stampin' Up!

Stamps: In Stitches, Four Frames, Hello Again

Ink: Not Quite Navy, Baja Breeze

Cardstock: River Rock, Not Quite Navy, Whisper White

Accessories: Final Press embossing folder, Decorative label punch, Paisley Petals DSP

This next card combined two of my favorite stamps from the mini, Eat Chocolate and Create a Cupcake! I also took inspiration from a Stampin' Success magazine. This is a magazine that only Stampin' Up! Demonstrators receive once a month. It's full of great ideas! I always enjoy reading it each month.

Occasions Mini and Sale-a-bration swaps!

In December I participated in a swap for the Occasions mini and Sale-a-bration stamp sets. These are the cards that I did for that swap!

The first one is pretty plain. I sponged the Soft Suede base as well as the Regal Rose layer. The best part of this card is that I got to use the brand new Create a Cupcake stamp set and the coordinating punch, Build a Cupcake! LOVE IT!

Stamps: Create a Cupcake

Ink: Soft Suede, Early Espresso, Regal Rose, Pacific Point

Cardstock: Soft Suede, Pacific Point, Regal Rose, Whisper White

Accessories: Build a Cupcake punch, whisper white grosgrain ribbon, Perfect

Here's my swap for Punch Bunch. My oldest daughter, Abi picked out the color combos for all 3 cards. I just love pink and brown together!

Stamps: Punch Bunch

Ink: Early Espresso

Cardstock: Early Espresso, Melon Mambo, Whisper White

Accessories: Scallop circle punch, 1 3/8" circle punch, Finial Press embossing folder, Early

Espresso marker, Whisper White satin ribbon, dimensional

This last card was for the new jumbo wheel, In Stitches. This is a really cool wheel. I have been wanting a stamp set that has stitching markings on it. When I first saw the wheel, I was really disappointed. I wanted a stamp set! Then it dawned on me. I could cut the rubber off the wheel and then cut the stitching markers so that they are separate! And guess what, I now have my stamp set! I just use a little adhesive to put it onto one of my clear blocks and then I can stamp with it! The best part, I got a  6 piece stamp set for only $8.50! Gotta love that! 

Stamps: In Stitches, Butterfly Prints

Ink: Tempting Turquoise, Wild Wasabi, Basic Black

Cardstock: Whisper White, Tempting Turquoise, Wild Wasabi

Accessories:  Butterfly punch, Basic Black grosgrain ribbon, twine, rhinestones, dimensional

Now you need to go find a swap and sign up! Go create something fabulous and share it with others!

Happy Stampin'!
