I was looking for something a little bit different to do with the Banner Blast stamp set when I was preparing for my Sale-A-Bration class last week. This is what I finally ended up with.
What do you think? I’m not quite sure where I got the color combination from – Island Indigo, Crushed Curry and Whisper White. It has lots of texture on the different panels. And you can use the banners and fit them into each other to create a rectangle shaped center panel.
Supplies used:
Island Indigo, Crushed Curry and Whisper White card stock
This wasn’t what I planned to share with you today. But we recently upgraded our internet service and yesterday Greg installed a new router and I guess everything isn’t quite right because I can’t get to the external drive from my laptop and that’s where all my pictures and files are! I’m waiting on him to get home from work so I can get connected to the drive again. Technology is never easy is it?
Even our new thermostats using our network and this morning they had a network error – I was trying to figure out how to turn up the heat. I was able to do that finally but I don’t think the network connection is there so I can’t make changes from my iphone – which is pretty cool. Technology is cool but not always easy!
So instead I’m going to share a video from Stampin’ Up! It shows you the Dip-Dye Technique. Enjoy!
Have you seen the stamp set in the Sale-A-Bration brochure called See Ya Later? It is one that you can get FREE! And it is so much fun. I’ve made several cards with it. Here is one similar to the one shown in the brochure.
We made this in my Sale-A-Bration class and then I mailed it to Kyle. Since Kyle moved to CA I have been shipping some of his things out to him so I decided to include a card or treat or something in each box. So this card went along in one of the boxes – I thought it was very appropriate – See ya Later Alligator – Already Miss you!
That makes me think of when Kyle was little we would say “Kyle, Kyle, Crocodile”. I haven’t said that in a long time. It’s probably not appropriate to say to a 22 year old.
I created this scrapbook layout several month ago. It’s based on a page layout in the Stampin’ Up! Annual Catalog. I used the I Am Me Product Suite – it’s one of my favorites in the catalog.
I still need to add pictures. In my scrapbook class I make up my samples usually without pictures. Often the layouts could be used for different things and I don’t want to get anyone “trapped” into what the layout needs to be. They should be able to use it for what they have. For this one I had a family vacation in mind.
The left page of the layout is like the one in the Stampin’ Up! catalog. Just add photos (rounding the corners) on the empty white rectangles. Plus add a small photo under the washi tape by the luggage. Add journaling down by the film strip. After I add my photos I’ll probably add a title with where we went and the dates.
This is the right side page created to match the one on the left. Add more photos and maybe a few more journaling notes and you are all done. Here is a list of the supplies used:
Basic Gray 12″ x 12″ card stock
Whisper White card stock
I Am Me Designer Series paper
Filmstrip stamp
Designer Buttons – Subtles
Chevron Ribbon – Calypso Coral
Epic Day This and That Designer Washi Tape
Around the World Stamp set
Calypso Coral Baker’s Twine
Corner Rounder punch (or the Envelope Punch Board)
Circle punches
Designer Typeset Photopolymer Stamp set
Pool Party, Real Red card stock
Pool Party, Real Red, Calypso Coral, Basic Gray, So Saffron classic ink
Jumbo Rhinestones
Friday I have another scrapbook class. I have a winter themed page perfect for all the snow pictures during out storms we recently had. And the second layout I have a few things in mind – just need to make my final decisions.
