Saturday night was the STARZ group meeting. Wendy Randall is our wonderful leader and holds a meeting for her group every other month. I have my group meeting the opposite month – my group is named PAWS – which stands for Play Alot With Stamps. There is an awesome recruit special right now and I would love to have you as part of my team so contact me today if you would like to learn more. There is information on my website – www.monika.stampinup.net – including some videos you can watch. And click here to read more details about the recruiting special.
At the STARZ meeting Wendy had four great projects for us to make. So after a little bit of business learning we got to stamping. Just to let you know when Stampin’ Up! demonstrators get together we normally take some time to stamp no matter where we might be. Here is one of the projects and it would have been much cuter if I had paid more attention to which color ink I picked up – but really that is the way I wanted it to be – there are no mistakes in stamping – I meant to do that and it still looks cute.
This little box uses the Big Shot and the Bag w/ Scallops die and also the Texture Plates. First we cut out our bag and then added the texture. Before assembling we applied some ink with a direct-to-paper technique to the textured dots and added stitching with the white gel pen. Make sure to use Sticky Strip to assemble the box so it all stays together. On the lid we added a scallop circle punch and then the cupcake accent is from the new stamp set Wagon Full of Fun – it will be in the upcoming Occasions Mini Catalog but is available to order now. We stamped with StazOn ink on Watercolor paper and used the Aqua Painter and classic ink to color it in. The closure is a couple of clear Rhinestone brads and some linen thread. These would make cute little party treats – just fill with a bit of candy and your ready to go!
Have a wonderful day and Treat Yourself to something good today!
Happy Stamping,
Monika
