Big SHot

Spooky Treats….

These cute treats are just a few of the samples that were in the Bakery Shop at the Stampin Up convention last month. The top ones are our new candy wrapper twist die cut boxes made with the Big Shot that are in the Holiday mini. If you are one of my customers and have not gotten your Holiday mini from me yet in the mail, please let me know.  I will get you another one. I have plenty here at the house. These treat containers make adorable gifts for your child's class too.

These look like cupcakes but they are really it is the Perfect Setting Die cut used in the Big shot to make the wrapper for the "cupcakes". I think they are really balls of candy wrapped in black tissue paper and then stuffed inside the cupcake wrappers.

Another Just Believe Card

I got the idea for this card at the Stampin Up convention. THe small part of it was on a make and take we did. It was a 3×3 notecard so I decided to incorporate that into a regular size card. I made a template from the Big shot circle die and then sponged inside of it to create the yellow and green background and then stamped over that in chocolate chip. I did stamp the flowers off once to make them lighter than the words. Then I stamped the bigger image onto bashful blue cardstock and wrapped with celery taffeta.

August Stamp Camp–Just Believe….

For this month's stamp camp, I am doing a gift box (shown on the right side) with a set of cards to go inside. All of the projects use the Just Believe Stamp set found on pg. 109 in the big Stampin Up idea book and catalog.  Cost of the class is $20 and includes all of your supplies, refreshments and door prizes. If you can't make it to class, I can cut a set of supplies for you to do it at home. I will try to do a tutorial for this class if I have time. It would be easy to change these cards to any colors you like also. I wanted to do shades of blue and neutral tones. The card that is laying down was actually a swap card I got from my good friend Susan Adams. I liked it so much that I decided to use it in my class. The rest were designed by me. These cards are great for duplicating too. You can make several sets in no time.

Click on my calendar at the top of the screen to see class dates and times!

This is what the top of the box looks like and one of the cards actually matches the box idea. I used the Friendly  Words wheel for the background and the colors are baja breeze and soft suede.

More Items from the Stampin’ Up Bakery Shop….

Here are some more pics from the Stampin' Up Bakery Shop display at convention last month. They had the coolest things on display and I could have stayed there all day looking at them. This first one is a cute clock gift box. I just love it.

These are cute little mini lunch sacks that will be available in the Holiday mini coming out in 2 weeks!  You can decorate them however you like but these owls are pretty darn cute I think.

These are the new Glimmer Brads also available in the upcoming Holiday mini. This display reminded me of those dot candy sheets you could get as a kid. They are so pretty up close and in person….you just have to get some to see for yourself.

More Creative Fabric Projects

Here are some more awesome fabric projects that Stampin Up showcased at convention. This first one is a journal type notebook that is decorated on the front with the new Deck the Halls fabric. I just love it! The pack of fabric comes with directions to make this book also.

This is a gorgeous Christmas stocking and the directions are also included to make this project.

And I am pretty sure I saw the directions for these coasters also included. There is so much you can do with this gorgeous fabric. The possibilities are endless.

More Fabric Projects!

At the Stampin Up convention, I was blown away by some of the awesome fabric craft projects that were shown. This fabric will be available in the Holiday mini starting Sept 1st. Or, if you are a demonstrator, you can order it right now! Mine is scheduled to arrive tomorrow and I can't wait to get it in my hot little hands. I am not much a seamstress, but the project directions that come with it are supposed to be super easy so I should be able to handle it. This first pic is a pot holder.

This one reminds me of a tray that you would set on your dresser to collect keys, change, etc.

These are pretty pillow cases to make sure you don't get yours mixed up with your significant other's.

New Yummy Fabric coming in the Holiday Mini!

Check out this gorgeous purse! Isn't it to die for?? It is made with the NEW Deck the Halls Fabric coming soon (Sept 1) in the Stampin' Up Holiday mini.  I can't wait to try this project. Each assortment of fabric comes with an instruction booklet to make 5 really cute projects. These pictures are of some of the projects that were on display at convention and were made by Stampin Up employees.

I think this one is a hot pad or something but I am not really sure. It was really cute though. I guess you could use it as a placemat too. The fabric is so pretty, you can make anything look cute! I will share more pics in the next few days!

Gifts for downline and friends

I made these tins for my downline and a few friends for convention. I bought the tins at a craft store and inside I put a Starbuck's gift card. They are pretty easy to decorate. I basically just copied a card I made for my July clubs. It is posted back on July 18th if you want to go check it out. I stamped the Elements of Style onto the Big shot die cut butterflies and then colored them with pretty in pink and certainly celery markers.

Fast and Fabulous flowers

This card was made by my good friend Michelle Burkett. SHe used the Fast and Fabulous hostess stamp set. It is so pretty and I love the marina mist color with it.

Artistic Etchings

This gorgeous card was made by my friend Deb Valder for a swap I hosted last month. I love the Artistic Etchings set on pg 125 in our big Stampin Up idea book and catalog. It is so great for doing all different types of cards. She also added some texture to the card by using the square lattice embossing folder to the background piece. I just love it!
