Stampin' Up! OnStage-Kansas City

Wow~ What a weekend! This past weekend I traveled to Kansas City for OnStage for Stampin' Up! and wanted to post all the things that I made for my roomie and my friend who wasn't able to room with us but met up with me for the convention.

I will show you one or two a day because there is a lot of photos to share. This one is a bottle of sparkling apple cider with a tag that I made using the Cheerful Tags and Framelits. If you don't have this bundle, you NEED it! These tags are so easy to make and so quick!

I used Gold Satin Ribbon to loop it around the neck of the bottle.

Sheltering Tree~

 Good Monday morning! Today's card is a card we made at September's card class. I started by layering Crushed Curry and Island Indigo.  I ran the Crumb Cake piece through the Big Shot using the Leaf Framelits to cut out a negative space.  I stamped the Sheltering Tree in Early Expresso and Pumpkin Pie and stuck it behind the negative space.

I stamped out the thank you from the stamp stet Tin of Tags  in Pumpkin Pie ink onto Whisper White and punched it out using the 1 3/4" circle punch and adhered it to an Island Indigo 2" circle with Dimensionals. I punched out the acorn using Soft Suede card stock and the Acorn Builder punch and then punched out the top of the nut using Gold Glitter paper and tying a bow of Linen Thread to the top. I liked how it turned out and I think most of the ladies liked this card the best of all of them.
Gotta run! I have tons to do before I can head to Kansas City this weekend for OnStage with Stampin'UP! CANNOT WAIT!

Detailed Floral Framelits set~

 Hello Friday! I'm sharing with you today a group of projects that I made at another workshop recently that I had wanted to make for some time and finally got around to making! This is a tea light holder and candy holder (could hold 2-3 votive candles too) made with some scoring and using the Detailed Floral Framelits. 

 This one is half a piece of card stock scored and then the die lined up with the edges and cut.  You simply fold it up and tie it shut. I stamped the tag using the stamp set Candy Cane Christmas from the Holiday Catalog. I used Gold Satin Ribbon to tie it shut.

This candle holder is super simple to make. It is a piece of card stock cut to 4 x 8 1/4" and scored on the long side at 2,4,6 and 8.  Then on one short side at 2". Place the die in the center of each scored panel as close to each one and the bottom 2" score line without touching it. Then you will cut up to the 2" score line to make flaps to assemble your holder.
I added a piece of Gold Glimmer paper to hide a boo boo.
Well, I'm off to start swaps for OnStage Kansas City a week from tomorrow. So much to do so little time

Envelope Punch Board Boxes

 Good morning! Today I wanted to share the boxes I showed at my last workshop. I pulled out the Envelope Punch Board (because it's been neglected a lot these past few months) and showed my attendees how to much more with the EPB.  So, I decided the "half" cracker box was a good one to show. Simple and endless possibilities.  I wanted to also use the DSP, since it is ON SALE this month! I used the Candy Cane DSP pack for the first box. 

 For the fun tag on the front, I pulled out my Jolly Friends Bundle and made the santa and hat. I used the Dazzling Diamonds Glitter paper for the brim of the hat and then some Mono Liquid Glue and Dazzling Diamonds glitter for the beard.  I added a sweet Mini Jingle Bell to the end of his hat and then tied the box shut with the Gold Satin Ribbon.

 This one I wanted to share that you can also use card stock to make them. I used the Emerald Envy card stock.

I used the Candy Cane Christmas stamps on this one. I stamped the trees randomly all over the box and then assembled it. I used the Layering Circles or the Dapper Denim layer and Whisper White for stamping the tree onto.
I tied this one shut with the Gold 1/4" Cotton Ribbon. 
I'm on my way out the door, so this one is short and to the point. As always, you can leave a comment or email me if you have any questions.
Have a super Thursday!

Football Popcorn Boxes~

 Tonight was officially the last night of football for 2016-17.  My husband coaches high school football here and every year they have a banquet with awards and speeches and gift for the managers and ball boys. So, every year, I am asked to make things to give to each of them and this year I was happy to make these "football" boxes from the Popcorn Box Thinlets. 

 These are the ones I made for the managers. I cut the popcorn boxes from Chocolate Chip card stock and then ran them through the Softly Falling embossing folder to give them the bumps that a football has.  (It's hard to see it in these pictures). Then I cut strips of Whisper White and attached them for the seams of the ball.  I stamped out the tags using the Perfectly Wrapped stamp set and using our school colors which are Orange and Black. I punched it out using the retired 2 1/2" circle punch and tied it to a cello bag filled with chocolates.

This one I did for the ball boys. I used the retired stamp set, Simply Sports and stamped the player in Soft Sued and the sentiment in Pumpkin Pie and die cut it out, and used Dimensionals to pop it up off the player.

Work of Art Butterfly~

Good Sunday! Today I share a recent workshop card that I made.  I saw the idea on Pinterest, decided to switch out the colors and and stamps and show it to some girls who were impressed.  However, you will notice that I got the buttefly too close to the edge of the layer, BUT it worked out.

 I stamped out the brush stroke image in Blushing Bride, So Saffron and Pear Pzaaz onto Whisper White card stock. Then I place my Bold Butterfly over this and ran it through the Big Shot to cut it out.  I simply glued down the layer that I just cut and placed the butterfly over it.  I added a Metal Rimmed Pearl to the center, raised up the wings just a bit and stamped out the sentiment in Basic Gray ink.
I hope your Sunday is full of great memories or much rest! Thanks for stopping by.
