November Stamp Camp Projects

I am finally posting the camp projects from last month. I don't know what my deal is, I just can't seem to make time for anything here lately. It is not as though I have had a hectic schedule lately, I just can't get motivated to do anything productive. I think it was the time change. It makes me want to just put my PJ's and go to bed by 5:30!! Anyway....here are the projects we completed at the last camp. If you need any information on making any of these cards, just feel free to leave me a comment and I will answer any of your questions! Enjoy!

Simple Christmas Card - No Bling

Here is an easy, no-bling Christmas card to make that will make your card-making stress free! Sorry the picture turned out so dark. It will only take you a few cuts and a few stamps to complete each one! What's better than that! Enjoy.

Card Details:
Stamps: Baroque Motifs, Holidays & wishes
CS: Handsome Hunter, Bravo Burgandy, Shimmery White
Ink: Hunter, Burgandy
Other: tag corner punch

Christmas Organizer

Here is a little idea I CASE'd from Maria's website of an accordion style organizer made with business size envelopes. For the full tutorial click here. I only wish I would have had some envelopes here at home that were plain white and not the security type envelopes. Oh well, I was just wanting to try it, so it's okay. It is really quite simple to make and the tutorial has very good instructions and all the measurements that you will need. I also printed off a calendar for December to put in one of the pockets. Enjoy.

Supplies:

Stamps: Baroque Motifs
CS: Soft Sky, Blue Bayou, Certainly Celery, Soft Sky Designer Series Prints
Ink: Blue Bayou
Other: Ice Rhinestone Brads, Ticket corner punch, word window punch, blue bayou stitched ribbon, white taffeta ribbon, silver cord, mini glue dots.

Sneak Peek #3

Frosty the snowman......okay, I promise I won't sing Christmas Carols on Friday!! I am not in that much of a Christmas Spirit. It is hard to get motivated to do Christmas stuff when it is still warm and sunny outside!

I made this card with one of my new sets (not new in the catalog-just new to me). This is a very versatile, inexpensive set to have on hand. There are four trees in the set for all four season of the year and I think that it could be used for almost any occasion. Enjoy.

Card Details:
Stamps: A Tree for all Seasons, Flaky Friends
CS: Old Olive, Dashing, W White, River Rock, Real Red
Ink: Black, White Craft, Bordering Blue
Other: Ticket corner punch, organdy ribbon (this may be retired, oops)

Sneak Peek #4

Last but not least, this is the last project we will be doing at camp on Friday. This card was inspired by a swap I received at Regionals made by Colleen Pearson. I made very few changes to it because I like it's clean, simple look. I did cheat a little by using my Cuttlebug - I just couldn't help myself! I know alot of you own that wonderful little toy/tool and just wanted to show you how to incorporate that into your Stampin Up creations! Enjoy!

Card Details:
Stamps: Fun & Fast Notes (a must have), Linen BG, Looks Like Spring
CS: River Rock, Real Red, W White, Garden Green
Ink: River Rock, Real Red, Garden Green, Versamark
Other: Silver EP, Clear EP, Versamarker, Red Gingham Ribbon

Sneak Peek #1

Here is a sneak preview to one of the projects that we will be doing at camp this Friday night. I have to give credit to Mona McManus for this one, I totally case'd it from her Regionals swap and made a giant paper clip to match! I know that none of you are wanting to think about Christmas yet, but, it is time to start thinking about those Christmas cards that need to be sent out in about 6-7 weeks!

I still have a couple of spots open for camp so let me know if you would like to attend!

Card Details:
Stamps: Punch Pals (awesome Christmas set!!!)
CS: soft sky, w white
Ink: blue bayou, black, various markers
Other: white gel pen, scallop punch, 1 1/4 punch, stampin dimensionals, blue bayou stitched ribbon, word window punch, jumbo clip, glue dots

November Stamp Camp

My last stamp camp was held on Monday, November 20th. All of the projects were Christmas Cards and we also added a technique card to our technique "ring". The technique I chose this month was called "wax paper resist". A couple of our cards used non-traditional colors to mix it up a bit.

If you would like to know more about the technique, check out www.splitcoaststampers.com and look under resources. They have tons of techniques and tutorials listed there. It is one of my favorite websites. You can visit their gallery to find all of the stampin up stamp sets listed. You can click on a stamp set and you will find 1000's of ideas for that particular set. There are some very talented stampers out there!!!
