I emailed Bingo cards for Round 6 to all of you today (Friday 10/29) and the first Bingo piece will be called on Saturday 10/29 (but not first thing in the morning probably around midday). Group 6 is now full and I have a few spots left in group 7. I will not be calling Bingo pieces during the Royal Blog Tour – Nov. 5 – 8th. I will resume after the tour.
Here are the rules for playing Monika’s Blog Bingo (I reserve the right to adjust the game if necessary):
First since I plan to mail a prize to the winner you need to live in the US or have APO address(sorry if you don’t but the prizes are SU product in most cases).
Second: I created 16 cards so I’m going to have 16 people play in each round and I hope to do multiple rounds.
Third: You need to email me at [email protected] with Monika’s Blog Bingo in the subject line and tell me you want to play. I need your name and your mailing address (so if you win I can send you a prize).
Fourth: I will email you an image of your Bingo card – each card is unique and I will have them numbered so I know which one you have.
Fifth: After I have all 16 players I will post a Bingo Piece each day on my blog – so you have to keep coming back – it will likely be at the end of my regular post for the day – and if I don’t have a regular post it will just be by itself.
Sixth: I will post Bingo Pieces until someone has Bingo – you must have 5 in a row – across, down, diagonal – just like normal bingo and once you have Bingo You have to email me that you have – send the email to [email protected] – subject I have Bingo!. I will check your card against the pieces that have been played to make sure you have Bingo. And if per chance there is more than one on the same piece, I will pick the winner by the time stamp on the email – first one wins after verifying the Bingos.
Then I’ll mail the winner a prize!
A couple more things on how I am playing this game: Only one group will play at a time. If you are playing in a current group you cannot sign up for any other groups. Once your group is finished and if you did not win you can sign up for another group and play again.
I hope you’ll play along with me!
Group 1: Winner Carolyn from NC
Group 2: Winner Patrice from CA
Group 3: Winner Stacie from CA
Group 4: Winner Cinthia from MI
Group 5: Winner Charna from NY
Group 6: cards emailed on 10/29, first piece called on 10/30
Group 7: taking names – see rule 3 above.
Thanks for playing along with me!!
Oct 29, 2010 | Big Shot, Cards, Christmas, class, Designer Series Paper, Holiday Mini Catalog 2010 |
One of the great things about the Stampin’ Up! Regionals is the WOW demonstrations by our fellow demonstrators. For every regional Stampin’ Up! selects demos to come and present a WOW idea on stage. We saw six different WOW demonstrations at the Baltimore Regional. This idea was presented by Deb Paise. She made her card and then put the whole thing in an embossing folder and ran it through the Big Shot. She made one card that looked just like a knitted sweater when it was done. Deb showed us several examples that day.
My sister-in-law and I played with the idea when we got back to her house that weekend and here is one of the cards that we created.
The front panel is Old Olive with strips of Jolly Holiday Designer Series paper. Then that whole panel is put inside the Square Lattice Embossing Folder and sent through the Big Shot.
The Cherry Cobbler Seam Binding is wrapped around the panel and tied in a knot. The panel was attached to the front of a Cherry Cobbler card base. The ornament from the Tags til Christmas stamp set from the Holiday Mini Catalog – stamped on Very Vanilla card stock and punched out with the ornament punch. Some Linen Thread was tied around the top of the ornament and it is put on the front of the card with Stampin’ Dimensionals.
I liked the results of how the embossing folder really embeds the designer paper into the card stock making it look like it is all one piece. Try it for yourself – I think you’ll like it. We made this card at the KSU card club class earlier this month.
I also decorated the envelope and the inside of the card.
If I have a dark colored card base like this Cherry Cobbler I usually add a neutral panel to the inside for the message. This one is Very Vanilla.
My November Hands On class is going to be a Holiday Stamp-a-Stack class. We will be making 16 cards with matching envelopes – 4 cards each of 4 different designs. My class dates are slightly different from normal. My evening class will be on Thursday, November 18th at 6:00 pm. My morning class will be on Friday, November 19th at 10:00 am. Details are on my website.
Bingo cards will be emailed out for Group 6 some time today and I’ll start calling pieces on Saturday.
Thanks for visiting me today!
Oct 28, 2010 | Big Shot, class, magnet sheets |
This adorable notebook project was shared by Joyce Pandolfi at a downline meeting that we had a few months back. I thought it would be the perfect project for the ladies at my KSU club. The school mascot is an owl so I wanted to add the owl somehow and decided to create a coordinating bookmark that uses the owl punch. It all turned out so cute.
This is just a normal composition book from the store. These happened to be striped instead of the marbled ones. But any kind will do. The front label is covered with several layers of card stock.
Basic Black, Read Red, Basic Black and then Whisper White. On the white piece we used the jumbo wheel Neighborhood – wheeled in black and then used Stampin’ Write Markers to color in just one house (and the dog house).
Below that is Basic Black, Real Red and Daffodil Delight letters. The letters are cut using the GoGo Boots Sizzlits die and the Big Shot.
Tie a piece of Real Red ribbon around the front cover and you have a cute notebook!
The matching book mark is a piece of Basic Black card stock cut using the scallop tag on the Two Tags die. Now you want this to be a folded bookmark so you need to start with a strip of black folded in half. Then position it on the die so the fold is just below the cut line. Then when you roll it through the Big Shot it will cut out the tag but leave the fold at the straight end. I hope that makes sense.
To decorate punch a piece of Real Red card stock with the Scallop Circle punch. Then punch the Owl – I used Basic Gray for the body, Daffodil Delight and Whisper White for the eyes and a black journaler for the pupils of the eyes and to outline the beak. His shirt (or whatever that piece might be called) is a piece of designer series paper – I think I used scraps from the Play Date paper.
Now the best part of the bookmark is that it is magnetic! Stampin’ Up! has magnet sheets now and I just cut some squares out to put on the inside of the book mark so it will hold tight to the page it is marking.
I also used the adhesive sheets on this project. I punched out the pieces then put them on the adhesive sheet. You do this by lifting the cover on the adhesive, put down all your pieces, cover them back up and rub over to get all the adhesive to stick. Now they are kind of like stickers – you lift the cover again and peel up the piece you want and stick it down. if you have extra adhesive hanging out of your project use the adhesive remover to “erase” it away.
It was fun and I think a very useful project.
If you are looking for Blog Bingo – I had a winner late last night and the post is below this one. I’ll be starting a new group. Thanks for stopping by today.
