Let's Celebrate USA/250

 

Here is the project that we made earlier this month at the "Her & Me" class I teach for Chesapeake's Parks, Recreation, and Tourism department.  Most of the pieces for this 8 x 10"  framed piece were made using retired Stampin' Up! punches, dies, and embossing folders.  The girls LOVED using the Stampin' Cut and Emboss machine!  For this project, I also had them do a little heat embossing - for the fireworks.  (That stamp came in May's Paper Pumpkin kit - which was perfect timing!)

The class did not fill up this month - so I have a few extra kits available for purchase for $25 each (excluding frame)  plus shipping - if the kit needs to be mailed to you.

Below are some of the students with their projects.

Saturday Sketch #10

It's time for another card sketch!  I'm a day late - because I completely forgot what day it was.  I have been scrapbooking at a retreat house in Pennsylvania since Thursday - and just lost track of what day it was!

This card was made using the Painted Illusions Designer Series Paper, which was  February's Product of the Month. You can purchase this paper (or other Product of the Month items) for only $5, with a minimum $75 Stampin' Up! order.  This paper is still available at the time I am writing this post - but it is only available while supplies last. 

Below is the sketch that I used to make my card.  You may not be able to see the oval shape on my finished card - but it is there!  I used a retired die to cut an oval shape from Vellum, and then I ran the vellum piece through the Stampin' Cut and Emboss machine, using an embossing folder.

I finished the card with card stock pieces and a sentiment stamped on an oval (using a retired punch.)  I added white twine and a few embellishments to finish the card.

TPlease contact me if you have any questions!

Saturday Sketch #9

Here's another sketch card for you to try - a quick and easy card that you can make using almost any pack of Designer Series Paper (DSP.)

I used the Painted Illusions Designer Series Paper, which was  February's Product of the Month.  This paper is still available at the time I am writing this post - but it is only available while supplies last.

I used the Textured Notes Dies to cut out a section from a piece of the patterened paper.  Then I cut a slightly large mat to place behind the die cut piece. I adhered it to the card front using dimensionals, and then I place it so it is lined it up with the bottom piece.

Unfortunately, this die set is on the last chance list at the time I am writing this post - so they could be sold out by the time I post this.  If they are still available - they are a great set to have, and they are also discounted 20%.

For the sentiment piece, I used the Three Banner Punch, but I put the strip of white card stock into the punch from the back - and only punched one end at a time.  This allowed me to make a longer sentiment piece.

Below is the sketch and completed card.

 Measurements to make this card (inches):

• Pretty Peacock card base: 5-1/2 x 8-1/2 scored at 4-1/4 
• largest Designer Series Paper layer: 4 x 5-1/4
• Pretty Peacock card stock mat: 3-1/2 x 2
• smaller DSP layer: 3-1/4 x 1-3/4  (I used the Textured Notes dies, which are on the last chance list at the time of writing this post.)
• Basic White strip for sentiment: 1/2 x 3-1/2

This is another quick and easy card - I hope you will give it a try!
