Oct 2, 2010 | Big Shot, Bingo, class, Masking, Watercoloring |
This little project is an idea that came straight from the Stampin’ Up! Idea Book & Catalog. On page 75 is the Friends Fur-ever stamp set. And right above it is this cute little box. Now I made a few changes to my version. First I used different colors. Mine actually came from the Color Coach. I pulled the So Saffron card and on the back is the Sweet Set combination of So Saffron, Riding Hood Red and Soft Suede. A perfect combination for this project in my opinion!
I stamped in Jet Black StazOn ink and did some watercoloring and some cutting out. Yes that little bone is a pain to cut out but I think it is so cute popped up and tied with the linen thread. Not everyone in my class did that part. I did show them how to do the masking technique for this. Basically you stamp the little wagon first on your card stock. Then stamp it again on a post-it note and cut it out right along the lines – you don’t want to leave any edge for this technique. Then cover your image on the card stock with the post it note so you can stamp the bones so they look like they are inside the wagon.
Then the other fun thing I did was stamp the bone on the twill ribbon – instant matching ribbon!
Fill this little box with some dog treats for your new neighbors! Won’t they think your the best when you bring something for their dog!
The box by the way is the Box #2 XL die for the Big Shot. Have fun!

Sep 16, 2010 | Big Shot, Bingo, class, Halloween, Holiday Mini Catalog 2010 |
Today I’m sharing a project from my Halloween class. I was a long class because I had a ton of projects. Once I started making Halloween projects it was hard to stop. This one is a Fancy Favor box. It would be perfect for the ghost treats you leave on your neighbors door step during Halloween. I don’t know if everybody does that but around here you get a secret ghost visit by your house and they leave treats on your front door. And then you become the “ghost” and leave treats at someone else’s house. If you had the ghost visit you hang a sign in your window so he doesn’t visit again. Are we the only ones that do that?
So here is my Fancy Favor box – cur from Rich Razzleberry card stock using the Big Shot and the Fancy Favor Box die. At the top I used the new Stampin’ Around Web regular wheel. Ink with a Basic Black cartridge and go all the way around the top edge.
Then I added pieces of Wicked Fun Specialty Designer Series paper on all four sides. I used the stripes on the front and back and the green with black dots on the sides but you could use any of the patterns in the pack. Then I tied some of the new Raven 1/2″ Lace from the Stampin’ Up! Holiday mini catalog. So if you look closely at the lace it looks like little pumpkins and if you look even closer there are little pumpkin faces – can you see them? Two eyes, a nose and a mouth? Is it just me or can anyone else see that?
The front of the box could be decorated with any number of different stamp sets. I decided to use a variety of punches – Large Scallop circle, the 1-3/4″ Circle, 1-3/8″ Circle, and 1-1/4″ Circle. Do you recognize the stamp set? It is the Sweet Centers stamp set.
I colored just the center of the big square Halloween image and punched it out with the 1-1/4″ Circle punch. For the Spider I used a small rhinestone brad – I have a blingy spider!
I was also planning to use the Wicked Cool stamp set for this – the little witch boots would be cute on here too.
The colors are Rich Razzleberry, Basic Black, Old Olive, Cajun Craze.
I hope you like it. If you want to fill use a Cello bag and tie it with some of the lace and set it inside the box.
My parents are visiting and this time I let my dad choose a Bingo piece so here we go…….

Sep 2, 2010 | Big Shot, Bingo, Chipboard, Scrapbook Pages |
I created this scrapbook layout originally for the Utah Diva’s International contest this month and then I also used it for my scrapbook class. It features the new Stampin’ Up! Owl Punch. I love how these pages turned out.
There is a lot of punching going on for this layout. First the Owls are punched using card stock and the Play Date Designer Series paper.
Then all the circles – these are the 1-3/4″ Circle punch and all the other punches are layered on these. They are either stamped or embossed with the Big Shot and one of the embossing folders.
Stars are punched and embossed and then layered on the large star die cut with the Big Shot.
Some punched 1-3/8″ DSP circles – one is the Play Date paper and the other is the new Birthday paper.
Colors are Old Olive, Chocolate Chip, Tempting Turquoise, and So Saffron. The stamp set I used is Extreme Elements. Some of the photo layers are stamped and the chipboard title is stamped. Almost everything is sponged with Chocolate Chip ink – the chipboard letters, the circles, the stars, the owls.
The Chipboard letters were cut with the Big Shot and the Simple Alphabet dies. I used the outside edges left from the chipboard books that Stampin’ Up! sold in some of the mini catalogs – for this one I had a bunch of the heart board book scraps left and they were perfect for these skinny letters. I stamped directly on the chipboard in various colors.
These pictures are 10 years old – see I’m in no way caught up on my scrapbooking and I just work on stuff pretty randomly and scrap what I want when I want. Kyle was starting 3rd grade then and now he is starting college.
