Scrapbook Class





Some of my ladies were interested in scrapbooking. I thought I would start off with 2 simple scrapbook pages. I made these 6x 6 scrapbook pages because I love that we carry 6x6 scrapbooks. These are perfect for the grandparents-kind of like brag books. If you are interested in scrapbooking please join us. We had a HOOT!!!

KISS







I love my Friday night KISS class. What is KISS? Kiss means Keep It Simple Sweetie. we make 5 easy cards. We get together and chat, some people bring food to share and we have a GREAT time.

Bag Tags





I talked to several demonstrators before Regionals and asked what they were bringing their swaps in. We all decided 31 organizer bags were the easiest thing to bring. Well I can only imagine what the confusion would be with all of the same bags so I made Bag Tags for myself and my BFF.

Bat Treat Bag




This was shared at Regionals by our Stampin' Up! Founder Shelly Gardner. It was an amazing day with so much info that I forgot to take notes on how to make this little guy. It took me a couple of attempts but I think he turned out adorable. We are making this at my Stamp Club on Sunday.

Supplies:
Big Shot
Spider Web Embossing Folder
Petal Cone Die
Crop a Dile
Perfect Pennants Die
Sticky Strip
1 3/4 Circle Punch
1 inch Circle Punch
Scraps- (Pumpkin Pie, Old Olve, Whisper White)
Basic Black Cardstock
Basic Black Ink Pad
Versa Mark Pad
Black Embossing Powder
Heat Gun
Powder Tray
Pumpkin Pie 1/4 inch grosgrain ribbon
Bakers Twine
Red Glimmer Paper
Silver Glimmer Paper
Owl Punch
Wicked Cool Stamp Set

Directions:
-Cut out 2 Petal Cone Dies with your basic black paper
-Take your scissors and cut the top flaps off of each die
-Take your bats and versa mark pad and stamp them on the front of one of the cones
-Take your Blasck Embossing Powder and Heat Gun and Emboss your bats
-Assemble the Petal Cone Die with Sticky Strip
-Cut out 2 Perfect Pennants (the larger ones)-these are your wings
-One the wide side of the wings score straight down at 3/4
-Run the 2 wings back through with the spider web embossing folder
-Start on the wide side punch 1 3/4 circle and then 1 inch circle (you only need a small amount don't use the entire circle)
-Adhere the wings with sticky strip
-Punch a hole on both sides of the bats body and run your pumpkin pie ribbon through (tie a knot on each end)
-Shelly used Glimmer brads but I wanted to feature both of our glimmer papers. I used the large eyes from the owl punch and punched out 2 red pieces. Then I used the medium eyes from the owl punch and punched out 2 silver pieces.
-I freehand made the fangs using the whisper white scarp and paper snips
-Then I used the little decorative circle from the Pennant Die and ran a piece of Pumpkin Pie card stock through. I stamped the Spooky image on Old Olive Card Stock and punched it with a 1 inch circle ounch. It is attached to the bag with a piece of Bakers Twine.

I hope you enjoy this little guy. I think he is adorable. If you need any of the supplies you can order them 24 hours a day. www.stampwithfriends.stampinup.net

Stamp Club





I usually like to make 2 projects with my Stamp Club. I love this group of women. They are so much fun.

Our 1st project was a gift card holder using the crimper. They really liked how easy these were to make.

This card I cased from someone on Stampin Connection. I don't remember her name. If someone knows please let me know so I can give her credit.
