Stampcation

This is one of my swaps for Stampcation.  I really wanted to use the new Build a Stocking Punch from the current Holiday Mini Catalog.  But trying to do something different – what a challenage.  Jackie Topa has put so many wonderful creations out there.  WOW!!!  Anyway, I decided to make a mantle with the new quilted ribbon.  I embossed Night of Navy, Cherry Cobbler and Old Olive and then punched out the stockling.  I made the cuffs out of the new velvet ribbon and the glitter paper – red and silver.

All Required Card Stock

We'll be making ten cards – 2 each of 5 designs – and two 3-D items.  This Center Step Card is just one of the designs we will be creating. 

If this sounds like a class you'd enjoy participating in, watch my calendar for next month's class which will incorporate the new Stocking Builder punch and Stitched Stockings stamp set fr omthe Holiday Mini Catalog. 


August Christmas Crank

Isn't this card adorable!  I received this design from Karen Mickel  (www.sukaren.stampinup.net) at my last Ronald McDonald House Charties Team Meeting.  She made it as a 4 1/4" by 4 1/4" card. 

I wanted to include it in my Christmas Crank, so I made it a 4 1/4" x 5 1/2", added the ribbon and the Tiny Tags sentiment and punch.  The inside message is from Many Merry Messages – "Joy expressed, Love shared, a Miracle celebrated".  And of course there's another little penguin. 

This card and three others will be done at the Christmas Crank to be held next  Wednesday, August 17th at palcrafts.  If you would like to attend, please be sure to RSVP to palcrafts@att.net or 321-482-0136  All the details about this class, as well as all my others, are available at www.pamliles.stampinup.net .  Hope you can join us!  And Happy Stampin'!

We have a technique class tonight at palcrafts, and one of our regular crafters has a birthday tomorrow.  So, to celebrate, in addition to chocolate, I'm presenting her with some flowers.  And one of the best things about these – they "live" forever.  I got the directions for these from the On-line extras available to Stampin' Up! demonstrators.  Another one of those perks associated with being a part of the Stampin' Up! family. 

The colors are the 2011-2013 In Colors – Pool Party, Calypso Coral, Lucky Limeade, Wisteria Wonder and Island Indigo.  Aren't those names great!  The Big Shot dies used were: Blossom Party, Fun Flowers and Flower folds.  The Textured Impressions Embossing Folder was Vintage Wallpaper.  Punches used included Blossom Bouquet Triple Layer, Fancy Flower, Heart to Heart, and Full Heart. 

I made the tag by punching the Decorative Label on a folder piece of Calypso Coral, and stamping a sentiment from Word Play on Whisper White Card Stock.  And of course, I had to add a little bling – Basic Rhinestone Jewel. 

If you're interested in learning and/or teaching fellow crafters how to make fun projects and gifts like these flowers, contact me at palcrafts@att.net or 321-482-0136.


Monogramed Cards

At this month's Stampers 10 Meeting we'll be making Monogramed Cards.  The Designer Series Paper is Elegant Soiree.  We're using the Lovely Letter Alphabet Stamp Set and the coordinating papers and ink – Crumb Cake, Marina Mist, Soft Suede and Basic Gray.  The Very Vanilla Card Stock was embossed with the Square Lattice Embossing Folder and the squares were punched with the 1 1/4" and 1 3/8" square punches.
