Halloween with Stampin' Up Wicked Cool Stamp Set

I made these cute little lip gloss holders for everyone who came to my Stampin' Up event last month:






They were so easy to make - all it took was a strip of card stock, add a strip of Designer Series Paper, score and fold to make the little purse, the add ribbon and the stamped image.  Very easy, but very cute and impressive.  I forgot to take pictures until I was ready to leave, so I did not get the details like I should have.

Here is my supply & tool list:
Stamp Set:  Wicked Cool
Paper: Tangerine Tango, Basic Back, Whisper White, Designer Series Paper - Howlstooth & Scaringbone (2012 Holiday Catalog)
Ink: Tangerine Tango
Accessories:  Ribbon - Striped Satin (2012 Holiday Catalog) Pearls (painted black with a permanent marker); Stampin' Dimensionals; Punches - Oval Scallop, Large Oval, Scallop Trim Border.

So how is that for a cute little gift that doesn't require many supplies or tools?  I will try to do some Christmas ones and post a tutorial in a week or two.

Apothecary Accents Framelits, Papillon Potpourri & Four Frames Stamp Sets


If you are looking for the Late Night Stampers Fall Treasure Hunt go here or scroll down September 4, 2012 to find it.






And now for a card I made for a "new catalog" swap I participated in June that I never posted.  This features some new products - Pappillon Potpourri Stamp Set and matching Butterfly Punch, Apothecary Accents Framelits, Large Scallop Edgelit, and Summer Smooches Designer Series Paper.

Supply list is at the end.  I came up with my own card fold and closure, but the layout was inspired by a card  I saw on Paper Crafts Connection.  I folded the card and cut the widest edge with the Large Scallop Edgelit.  I cut Whisper White Card Stock with an Apothecary Accents Framelit focal piece and stamped it with the Netting stamp and Daffodil Delight ink.  I sponged a lot of  Daffodil ink on the edges and lightly in the center to give it dimension.  The butterfly from the Papillon Potpourri Stamp Set was stamped it with Rich Razzleberry and then punched with the Butterfly Punch.  I colored the pearls with Bic Mark-It permanent markers because the Stampin' Write Markers don't work for this.  I chose the Mark-Its because that set has so many that are close to Stampin' Up! colors. The Four Frames image was stamped with Rich Razzleberry and punched with the Decorative Label Punch.  The sentiment is from the Perfect Punches stamp set, and was punched with the Large Oval Punch.  The Rich Razzleberry scalloped layer was punched with the Scallop Oval punch, then cut in half the long way and spread apart to form a frame.  Only the right side of this piece is attached to the card.  I used Stampin' Dimensionals so that it is raised above the card, allowing the scallop edge of the card to slide under it to close the card.

Thanks for looking,
Phyllis Strickland

Stampin' Up! Cannery Framelits and Mini Milk Carton Die

My friend Kathy took me along to the Joyful Heart Stampers quarterly Stampin' Up! team meeting a couple weeks ago.  I was so excited to receive this adorable table favor that was given to all the attendees.  It is so cute and I love the idea of using a shaped Framelit to cut a window.

Fra

The Sizzix Framelits Dies are so awesome because they can be placed anywhere on the paper.  In this case, the mini carton was cut out first with the Mini Milk Carton Bigz L Die, and then it was run through the Big Shot with the pear and leaf from the Cannery Framelit set to cut a pear shaped window.

I have been stamping the images with the matching stamps and die cutting them.  I learned something new, because this shows that the die cut pear and leaf without stamping work great for this kind of project.

This also features the gorgeous Orchard Harvest Designer Series Paper from the 2012 Holiday Catalog.

I also participated in a card swap at this event, so I will have about 20 cards to show you over the next few days!

Stamp, stamp, stamp!

By the Seashore plus brown packing paper = tablecloths for a Crab Bake

By the Seashore stamp set - the little blue crabs

My good friend Charlotte hosted a Crab Bake and wanted eye catching crab themed table cloths.

She really liked the crab stamp in the Stampin' Up! By the Seashore stamp set.  BUT she needed a LOT of tablecloth, enough to cover 4-5 buffet tables, so it would have taken forever to stamp hundreds of crabs.

This project required a HUGE chunky foam crab stamp that could cover a lot of space with one stamp. She didn't find a chunky stamp, but she found the perfect foam crab in an inexpensive kids craft kit.  It was easily converted to a stamp with Jim Stephan's Jiffy Mount.

 The big red crabs looked great, but needed a little something, and that little something was the blue crab stamp from By the Seashore.


What a great use for brown packing paper!

Yes, It looks fabulous!!
Hope that gives you an idea for your next event when you need some custom tablecloths.  This would work on any kind of uncoated paper tablecloth.  It would work on plastic as well, if you use the right kind of ink e.g. StazOn.

I posted this on a Stampin' Up! demonstrator forum, and a member told me she sent this idea to her daughter for their outdoor wedding reception.  Isn't that a great idea to stamp your own wedding invitations and then stamp things to coordinate?

Happy stamping!
