AMANDA AND LINDA DEMONSTRATED AT STAMP CAMP - COOL PROJECTS

We had a great gathering last Saturday at the home of Cathy Weir.  10 of us gathered to celebrate Cathy and our love of crafting.  Here are 2 of the projects that we worked on.  The first is a SU! card Linda Kincaid demonstrated and the second is a candle that Amanda demonstrated.  We had so much fun at the gathering and crafting together.  Enjoy the projects and the photos.

I love how Linda cut the ribbon in half and the colors are fabulous.  She used the NEW SU! hostess stamp set HAPPY FLOWERS and the LOTS OF THANKS set that I've showcased a few times already.

 

 

 

 This is the candle I created casing Amanda Hindle who demonstrated it.

 

Amanda did an awesome job demonstrating.  Who would have thought that you could transfer almost any stamped image to a candle?  Wow!  So cool!

 

 

 

Amanda gave us a great tip - use wax paper over the stamped image to get it to transfer more easily and evenly.

 

Next week I will try to post the other projects from stamp camp and the amazing food we all shared for our potluck lunch.

BEAUTIFULLY BAROQUE

SU! has some of the best stamp designs around.  Have you seen BEAUTIFULLY BAROQUE yet?  It's a really cool stamp that can be used alone, as a background, or in a pattern.  It's an awesome stamp.  Here I used it as a background with the punched stamped butterflies from PAPILLON POTPOURRI. The sentiment at the bottom is from the set DELIGHTFUL DOZEN.  My colors are old olive, whisper white and coastal cabana.

This card is so delightful in person.  click on it to see it larger.  Or...go ahead and CASE it yourself.

BRAND NEW CARD USING SU! PAPAYA COLLAGE AND NEW DICTIONARY BACKGROUND

Most of you know that I love to create cards and I send most of the cards I make to my mother.  She loves getting HAPPY MAIL.  Here's a card I created for her on Sunday night when I had some free crafting time in my studio.

I stamped the NEW DICTIONARY stamp in Daffodil Delight on a whisper white punched out circle.  On top of that I stamped the gorgeous leaves and butterfly from the PAPAYA COLLAGE stamp set.  I also water colored the butterfly lightly.  I then added some dazzling diamonds glitter to the butterfly and some mini pearls.  Crystal effects were added to the leaves so they stand out.  The sentiment is from a BRAND NEW MUST HAVE THANK YOU Stamp set called LOTS OF THANKS.  I LOVE this stamp set.  It was one of the first sets I had to have.  The card stock behind the banner and the other images is Daffodil delight and it's embossed with the BRAND NEW embossing folder in the SU! IDEA BOOK called BEAUTIFULLY BAROQUE.  I think my mother will love the card.  She displays all the different cards she receives.  It really makes me happy when I go to her home and see them.

JP RULES THE SCHOOL - 8th GRADE MDS

My son started 8th grade today.  He's in his last year before high school.  I commemorated the day with a photo I added digitally to MDS by SU! I love this digital program because it's so easy to use and I can digitally create a scrapbook in no time.  I can print my photos and even add embellishments if I want. SU! has a great print program that prints these pages in either books or 12 by 12 or 8 by 8 single pages on great sturdy card stock.  I'm really impressed with SU! and I'm even more impressed that my son is at the top of the school now.  8th grade is a huge responsibility. JP I'm really proud of you!

MDS MONDAY - STAMPER'S POOL PARTY AT CATHY'S - GIRLS ONLY

It was a really great warm and sunny day at Cathy Weir's home Saturday for STAMP CAMP.  We had the best day stamping and crafting with all of our crafting friends.  When the stamping was complete, we took advantage of the pool.  Although most of our friends had to head home, 4 of us made it into Cathy's awesome pool.  She originally told us that it was quite cold, but I have to say, even for me, who is always cold - the water was amazingly refreshing and felt much warmer than that.  Linda Kincaid had the idea that we should spell POOL with the noodles.  Clever idea.  Pictured from left to right - Maria, Cathy, Amanda and Sharon.  Here's an MDS page to memorialize the great day.  Click on the photo of the digital scrapbook page to get a better look at our gorgeous smiles.

BIRTHDAY CARD FOR CATHY

Our dear friend Cathy has a milestone birthday coming up!  Yesterday, we had a surprise party for her.  She started crying she was so touched and surprised.  Here's the card I made for her and a few photos of the event.

I also hand crafted my envelope with the NEW SU! ENVELOPE MAKER, but I forgot to photograph it.  The inside of the card is stamped with the CHEERS TO YOU stamp set and TAPE IT stamp set - both by SU!

Cathy was really surprised.  She loved the dressing up, the cards, the cake, the cane from Cindy, the hand embellished candle from Amanda, and some great gifts.

 

And here's an MDS page with all of us around Cathy celebrating her great day.  Linda got the cake and Lisa used SU! MY PAPER PUMPKIN kit for the decoration on top of the cake.   So cool!
