Tie One On: Fluttering Snowflakes

I created this card to show off as many of the snowflakes from the 2010 Holiday Mini catalog as possible.  

First I stamped snowflakes from the hostess set Northern Hearts on the Marina Mist card base in Whisper White ink.  (I know the card looks like Pacific Point, but the color got a little unbalanced in the photo.  Make your card any color you wish.)  Next I cut a 2" x 5-1/2" strip of Whisper White card stock, and ran it through the Big Shot with the Northern Flurries embossing folder.  I then sponged a bit of Marina Mist ink on the edges and the raised snowflakes using a Stampin' Sponge quarter.  After sticking the white strip down with Snail adhesive, I sprayed the card with Vanilla Smooch Spritz.  

Next I used the Northern Frost Big Shot decorative strip to die-cut little snowflakes.  I sprayed those with Vanilla Smooch Spritz also (in my handy-dandy Color Catcher!).  I then punched three squares out of Marina Mist card stock with my 1-3/8" square punch. Using a single strand of embroidery floss, I tied the snowflakes on to the punched squares by taping the ends of the embroidery floss to the back of the squares using regular office tape.  

Once the snowflakes were attached to the punched squares, I stuck the squares on to the rest of my card using Stampin' Dimensionals.  

The card is really quite sparkly, but unfortunately Smooch Spritz doesn't show up well in photographs.  The best part of the card, however, is the movement of the fluttering snowflakes, and that can never be captured in a still photo.  You'll just have to make one of these for yourself to see how fun it is to have a little movement on a card!

Card stock: Marina Mist (119682), Whisper White (100730)

Ink: Marina Mist Classic ink (119668), Whisper White Craft ink (101731)

"Clean and Simple" Workshop

The Clean and Simple style can be cute, elegant, or sophisticated... but it's always fresh, and it always makes an impression.  

The key to this style is to be as careful as you can on every step.  Since there are so few elements in each simple design, every element has to look good. This may sound intimidating, but with a little care you'll find making these cards is easy and fun.  

Christmas is the perfect time to try the clean and simple style, because with fewer layers, steps, and materials, it's easier to produce 10 or 20 greeting cards to send to family. 

Call me today to book a workshop!  We will all make a couple cards together, and with what you'll learn you'll be able to make your own Christmas cards using this fast and simple style.  

Using the Brayer

Wouldn't this winter-themed photo background be a fantastic holiday gift, with your own family photo of course?  Come to my class and learn all the easy techniques that go into it! 

We will also make a couple of greeting cards to gain further practice with the brayer, and to experiment with the emboss resist technique.  

Go home with two holiday cards, one holiday gift, a brayer tool, and at least three new, easy techniques learned!  

Please contact me by Dec. 4th to reserve your spot and to order your brayer to use during the class.

Question: If I buy this starter kit, do I have to make Stampin' Up! my career and start selling?
Answer: No!  There is no obligation for you to hold a single workshop or sell a single item.  However, if you enjoy the 20% discount, you might want to collect a few orders from your friends so you can make the $300 minimum every 3 months to keep your demonstrator privileges.

A: None!  The only downside is you stop getting your 20% discount, magazine, and other demonstrator privileges.

A: You have to pay $87.50!  That's just about it.  Call me if you have specific questions.

Q: How long do I have to think about it? 
A: Not long!  This offer expires on Nov. 30th, so call me today!  You can also sign up online at CharlysInkLink.StampinUp.net.

Clean and Simple, take two

Here is my second attempt at the clean and simple style, by following a card layout from the blog Clean and Simple Stamping.  I really enjoyed how the simple layout let the embossed stamps take the spotlight.  I'm not 100% satisfied with how I executed the layout... but the card makes me smile every time I look at it, so it must be a success anyway.  :) 

Card stock: Whisper White
Ink: Basic Black Craft; Silver Encore; Real Red; Versamark
Stamps: Every Little Bit; Loads of Love
Accessories: Clear embossing powder; Embossing Buddy; Heat tool.

Clean and Simple Style

There are many different stamping styles, one of the more popular styles right now is "clean and simple".  I admire the look very much, but I seem to always be making things more complicated and layered than the clean and simple look. 

Recently I started following the blog "Clean and Simple Stamping", and I've been trying my hand at a couple different layouts.  I'll share one with you today, and another one tomorrow. 

Card stock: Marina Mist, Bashful Blue, Whisper White
Stamp: Short & Sweet
Accessories: Northern Frost die, Owl punch (for the small circle), Pearl accents, mini glue dots, stampin' dimensionals. 

A note about clean and simple cards - they're not as easy to mass-produce as I thought they would be.  Because there are so few elements, each element has to be perfectly made and perfectly assembled.  Therefore, what looks like a card which can be thrown together quickly, in reality is a card which requires a little time and attention. 

However, the effect is totally worth it.  I may have to make all my Christmas cards clean and simple cards this year!

The Present Card - PPSAS11b

Christmas Cards for Beginners: 

The Present Card (PPSAS11b)

Send a completely different kind of Christmas card this year - a hand made one!  With surprising elements like ribbon, a button, and a separate tag, this card will stand out from all the other 2-dimensional cards your friends will receive.  And best of all, this card is simple to make, and extremely cute.  

This card was designed to use a minimum of supplies.  Each paper pack includes enough paper and card stock to make 8 cards (of this design), with materials left over for another project.  

If you have ever done any paper crafting you may already have most of these supplies.  If you don't, you'll love getting some basic tools!

Specialty Tools for this project: 

Christmas themed paper pack (Candy Cane Christmas used here) - $5.00

Real Red 1/4" Grosgrain ribbon - 109034 - $4.95

Candy Cane Big designer buttons - 121718 - $8.95

Four The Holidays stamp set - 116921 - $13.95

white embroidery floss

Large Tag Punch (optional) - 119866 - $16.95

A Cute Christmas stamp set (optional) - 120825 - $25.95

Basic Tools for this project: 

Paper Cutter - 104152 - $24.95

Bone Folder - 102300 - $6.95

Basic Black Classic ink - 101179 - $5.95

Medium Whisper White Envelopes - 107301 - $6.50

Snail adhesive - 104332 - $6.95

Sticky Strip - 104294 - $6.95

Scotch tape

a needle and white thread

a thimble (optional)

1/16 Inch Handheld Circle Punch (optional) - 101227 - $8.95

Stamp-a-ma-jig (optional) - 101049 - $11.95

Personalized name stamp (optional) - 115600 - $18.95

Directions: 

1)  Prepare the card bases: Each paper pack will include six 8-1/2" x 11" sheets of card stock, 4 colored and 2 white.  Choose the 4 colors you want to use.  Place each sheet on the paper cutter horizontally and cut in half.  That will give you 8 sheets measuring 5-1/2" x 8-1/2".  Fold each of those sheets in half and crease the folds with your bone folder.  You should now have 8 card bases measuring 5-1/2" x 4-1/4".

2) Cut the presents: Each paper pack will include eight 6" x 6" sheets, six of designer series paper and two of textured card stock.  From each of those sheets, cut a 5" x 3-3/4" rectangle.  Next take a 6" length of ribbon and stretch it across the present, wrap the ends around the back and tape the ribbon to the present using Scotch tape.  Repeat with a 4-3/4" length of ribbon going around the present in the opposite direction.  Adhere the present to the card base using Snail adhesive.  

3)  Make the bows: First wrap a few stitches of white embroidery floss through the big button to give the button a finished look.  Next cut three 6" lengths of ribbon.  Put about a 1/4" of Snail adhesive at one end of the ribbon and stick the other end of the ribbon to that, making a circle.  Next put another 1/4" of Snail on the end of the ribbon inside the circle and push the top of the circle on to that, making a flat bow with no ends.  Repeat with the other two lengths of ribbon.  

Hold all three flat bows together so they form a star.  With a needle and white thread, stitch through all layers two times.  Add the big button, and stitch the big button to the bow.  Once the bow and button is secure, attach the bow to the present with Sticky Strip adhesive.  

4) Add the tag: If you have a tag punch, punch a tag out of the off-cuts from the designer paper or the textured card stock.  If you don't have a tag punch, cut a long rectangle from the off-cuts and fold it in half to make a mini-card.  (You may need to add a layer of white paper to the inside of the mini card to make your greeting show up.)  Either stamp or hand write a cute Christmas greeting.  Punch a small hole with a hand held punch or a thumbtack.  Run some white embroidery floss through the hole and tie the tag around the button.  

5) Stamp the holiday greeting: Choose your greeting from the "Four the Holidays" set.  Ink it with Basic Black ink and stamp it inside the card.  To ensure perfect placement, use a Stamp-a-ma-jig.  (Click here for a video on how to use the Stamp-a-ma-jig.)  

6) Finish your card: If you have a personalized name stamp, sign your creation by using your stamp on the back of the card.  (If you choose to make greeting cards to sell, you must use a name stamp or another copyright stamp for copyright reasons.  If you are giving your cards away for free, it is not necessary.)  

Congratulations!  You have just made your own Christmas cards!  If you need more than 8 cards, buy another paper pack.  Once you have all right right tools, you can make as many cards as you need!  

November '10 - Candy Cane Christmas - PPSAS11a

Christmas Cards for Beginners:

The Ornament Card (PPSAS11a)

Don't be frightened of Christmas cards!  You can turn a boring chore into a fun family tradition.  Instead of sending discount cards this year, make your own cards and imagine how impressed your family will be when they open your envelope.  

Even if you don't have a single piece of paper crafting equipment, these cards take a minimum of supplies.  Each paper pack holds enough card stock and paper to make 12 greeting cards (of this design), and the only specialized tools you'll need are the ornament punch and the holiday greeting stamp set.  

If you have ever done any paper crafting you may already have most of these supplies.  If you don't, you'll love getting some basic tools!  

Specialty Tools for this project: 

Christmas themed paper pack (any style) - $5.00

Four The Holidays stamp set - 116921 - $13.95

Ornament Punch - 119847 - $16.95

Basic Tools for this project: 

Paper Cutter - 104152 - $24.95

Bone Folder - 102300 - $6.95

Basic Black Classic ink - 101179 - $5.95

Stampin' Dimensionals - 104430 - $3.95

Medium Whisper White Envelopes - 107301 - $6.50

A ruler for marking

Stampin' Write Journaler (optional) - 105394 - $3.50

Stamp-a-ma-jig (optional) - 101049 - $11.95

Personalized name stamp (optional) - 115600 - $18.95

Directions: 

1)  Prepare the card bases: Each paper pack will include six 8-1/2" x 11" sheets of card stock, 4 colored and 2 white.  Place each sheet on the paper cutter horizontally and cut in half.  That will give you will give you 12 sheets measuring 5-1/2" x 8-1/2".  Fold each of those sheets in half and crease the folds with your bone folder.  You should now have 12 card bases measuring 5-1/2" x 4-1/4".  

2) Create the scored frame on all of the card fronts:  Remove the cutting blade from the paper cutter and replace with the black scoring blade.  Place your opened card base on the paper cutter horizontally, and score from top to bottom at the 1/2" mark and the 3-3/4" mark.  Now place the card base in the paper cutter vertically, and score from the edge to the fold at the 1/2" mark and the 5" mark.  

3) Stamp your greeting: Choose your greeting from the "Four the Holidays" set.  Ink it with Basic Black ink and stamp it just above the bottom score line, centered within the frame.  To ensure perfect placement, use a Stamp-a-ma-jig.  (Click here for a video on how to use the Stamp-a-ma-jig.)  

4) Punch your ornaments: first select the three patterns you want to use together which best compliment the color of your card base.  Turn your punch over and slide your paper in while looking through the punch hole.  Move the paper around to select the best section of the pattern to punch out.  Also aim to punch your ornaments near each other and near the edge of the paper to avoid waste.  

5) Arrange your ornaments and draw the strings: Place your ornaments on the card base, within the scored frame, and arrange to your liking.  With a black pen, place a dot just above each ornament to mark where the ornament string should go.  Remove the punched ornaments and use a ruler to draw the strings.  Then adhere the ornaments to the card using stampin' dimensionals.

6) Finish your card: If desired, stamp another holiday greeting on the inside of the card, or just write your own greeting.  If you have a personalized name stamp, sign your creation by using your stamp on the back of the card.  (If you choose to make greeting cards to sell, you must use a name stamp or another copyright stamp for copyright reasons.  If you are giving your cards away for free, it is not necessary.)  

Congratulations!  You have just made your own Christmas cards!  If you need more than 12 cards, buy another paper pack in a different design.  Once you have all right right tools, you can make as many cards as you need!

Fabric!  

Stampin' Up! fabric is here!  For years we've asked for color coordinated fabric to match the inks, card stock, and designer papers from Stampin' Up.  Now we have two different fabric collections to choose from, and they're both beautiful.  

The Candy Cane Christmas fabric is bright and versatile.  The fabric patterns can be used for Christmas, or for cheerful cards or scrapbook pages for any season.  

Shown in the bottom left, the Deck the Halls fabric is elegant, a vintage style, and also can be used for any occasion.     

Our quality fabric can be used for traditional crafts such as sewing or quilting, but unlike at the fabric store, our fabric coordinates beautifully with our buttons and ribbon.  Plus, quilters love the amazing fabric-cutting Big Shot!

But fabric is also great for papercrafting.  I like to use it like a ribbon, as you can see in the pine cone card. I also use fabric like designer paper, as in the ornament card.  But fabric is most fun when used as fabric, like in the Christmas wreath and butterfly cards.  

Try using our new fabric for yourself!

Simply Adorned Bracelet Club

Are you thinking ahead to the holidays?  Are you going to need to come up with the perfect gift for your mother, sister, or mother-in-law?  I suggest the charm bracelet shown here - you can customize it with your recipient's favorite colors, photos of kids or grand kids, and of course a little bling.  

Join my Simply Adorned bracelet club, the meetings continue on the third Thursday of the month at 6:30pm.  Were you not able to make it to our first meeting?  No problem, club meetings will continue until everyone who wants a bracelet has a chance to make one.  This month we will be working with Itty Bitty stamps, punches, heat embossing, and tiny pearls and rhinestones.  

The club is free, but you will want to purchase the bracelet chain and one or two of the locket charms. (You can buy the next two charms in time for the next club meeting.)   As usual, if you order in time for your jewelry to arrive before the class, I will throw in a free filigree brad bangle.  Contact me for prices, or see my blog for more details.

October class preview!

I'm behind on my newsletter for this month, I'll get that up as soon as I can.  In the meantime, here's a preview of the October class - Stamp 'n Watercolors. 

Watercoloring is easy, especially when you have stamps.  Rubber stamps can make your project beautiful, no matter what you do!  Aqua Painters are so handy to use with the water for the paint brush stored in the barrel.  They're perfect for kids (no water cup to knock over!), and great for adults also. 

Come to my class on October 23rd at 2:00pm at my house and learn how to watercolor the easy way!

Send one in the mail and make somebody's day, use one as a Christmas card design, and keep your favorite one on your desk.  All three of these designs are perfect to display. 

Come to my class on Sept. 25th and make one of each of the card designs shown here.  We will assemble and decorate these cards, you can add your own photos later.  You will also receive instructions so you can make more of these cards at home.  

Wow your long-distance family and friends by sending them the best greeting card they've ever received.  Class fee is only $9.00.  Please sign up by Sept. 16th.  Call or email me to reserve your spot.

Simply Adorned Bracelet Club

I love wearing personalized jewelry - with charms that hold pictures of my boys, colors that match my clothes, and images that match my style.  Charm bracelets are very fashionable right now, but many of them are out-of-this-world expensive!  Luckily, with Simply Adorned bracelets you can have the best of everything:  Personalized charms, and for an affordable price.  

To add even more fun, sign up for my Simply Adorned bracelet club!  We will meet 3 times, and each time I will show you another technique for decorating these tiny charms.  We will play with glitter, embossing, tiny punches, pearls and rhinestones.  I will even show you how to customize your favorite photos to fit.  

Bonus: When you pay for each bracelet installment on time, I will give you a free Filigree brad (the flower charms in the photo) to add to your bracelet as a bangle.  

Buy the entire bracelet for only $51.35 (total includes tax and shipping), or pay in three installments.  

Join the club and we'll meet on September 16th, October 14th, and November 18th at 6:30pm at my house.  Are those bad dates for you?  Start your own club, on your own schedule, with 3 or more of your friends! (4 person minimum.)  Call me or email me for more information.

What do you want?

I've been doing some reading and listening to audiobooks recently, to help me grow my business.  I learned something I may have already known but didn't want to think about: the importance of setting goals. 

I've been going along in my business this last year, just going with the flow, taking things as they came.  It's a non-stressful way to do business, but also a fairly non-productive way at the same time.  Sure my business has grown, but not by much.  I can't say that I am where I want to be today.  So...where do I want to be? 

I somewhat arbitrarily decided I wanted to win the free trip Stampin' Up! is offering - they're giving away trips to Walt Disney World, and they've even reserved Disney's Boardwalk Resort hotel for us.  Woo-hoo!  I want to go!  But how can I produce those big sales, recruits, and downline promotions?  I have no idea.  But I never tried before.  How will I know what I'm capable of if I don't try?  And what happens if I fail?  Um.... I'll have done better than I ever have before?  Is that really all that bad?

My friend Susan says to always aim high.  She says you often miss your goal by just a leeeeeetle bit.  But since doing so makes you so much more productive than you've ever been, even losing is a winning situation. 

So I'm determined to win that trip some day.  I'll work on it this year, and if necessary next year, and every year until I get it.  Then I'll take a look at my business, and pick a new goal. 

When I try to picture myself in my perfect business situation, I see myself with constant workshops and classes, I see myself running one or two clubs, and having a downline.  (I'm reading all this great inspiring material, now I want some stamping sisters to share it with!) 

So far I don't dream of having a downline in excess of 300 people.  I don't see myself on the Advisory Board, or in Founders Circle.  I am, after all, a stay-at-home-mom first and a Stampin' Up! demonstrator second.  But just wait.  I may just make that my goal next year. 

On another note, for those who don't like blog posts without pictures, here's Trotters the Pig.  He's my first attempt at designing punch art, and from the comments I've gotten, people like him.  I never thought I could design punch art before, and now I made myself a pig.  What if becoming a huge business success is just as easy as deciding to give it a shot?

Ingredients:

Cardstock: Pretty in Pink, Old Olive, Whisper White

Tempting Turquoise ink

Basic Black marker

2-step Owl Punch, handmade cloud template, stampin' sponge, paper snips

Man of Mystery

I had such fun making this little guy today!  I found the directions for the Man of Mystery on Ellen Kemper's blog, the streetlight I just pieced together with various circle punches.  I have no idea how people like Ellen can dream up these amazing creations!  Man of Mystery is made entirely with shapes from the Two-Step Owl Punch (item #118074, $16.95).  Give me a call to order yours today!

August 2010 Newsletter - Flip Open Mini Scrapbooks

Flip-Open Mini Scrapbook

I love the idea of giving hand made, personalized gifts at Christmas.  But in November, the last thing I have time for is dreaming up and putting together a craft project.  Which is why I'm offering this class now!  

Come to my class on Aug. 14th and we'll make this fun and amazing scrapbook.  It folds up into a little package - perfect for gift giving or mailing - but it opens out into many pages, even including extra slide out pages. 

You will finish this entire scrapbook in class (except for the pictures), and you'll also receive step-by-step instructions so you can make another copy or two at home.  

Stampin' Up! offers several different Simply Scrappin' kits, so you can make more flip-open mini scrapbooks with different themes and designs. The kit we will be using for our class is called "One Great Year", and it's perfect for boys, school aged kids from 5 to 25, or for any collection of pictures which spans a whole year.  

Be sure to sign up by Aug. 5th!

Punch Workshops

Have you ever looked through the Stampin' Up! catalog and been baffled by those professional-looking projects?  Have you ever thought "I could never make that!"?  Actually, you can, you just need me to show you the tricks and techniques.  

Host a workshop in August and I'll show you tricks to using Stampin' Up! punches, and how to make many designs using the same punch.  Everyone will make and take home the two cards shown here.  

August is the best time to host a workshop, since Stampin' Up! is giving qualifying hostesses an extra $25 in free merchandise!  See the promotions flier for more information, then give me a call.

July '10 - Greenhouse Gala PPSAS7

Paper Pack Stamp-A-Stack 7

July '10 - Greenhouse Gala

 

Supplies:

Greenhouse Gala paper pack (contact me)

Define Your Life stamp set (114950)

Chocolate Chip classic ink (100908)
Pumpkin Pie 1-1/4" striped grosgrain ribbon (115616)
Two-Step Owl punch (118074)

Heart-To-Heart punch (119881)

Bitty Buttons (118761)

Big Shot (113439)
Vintage Wallpaper embossing folder (120175)

Tombow Multi-purpose adhesive (110755)

Snail adhesive (104332)



Steps:

1) Cut all four colored 8-1/2" x 11" sheets, plus one white 8-1/2" x 11" sheet in half, so you have 10 sheets measuring 5-1/2" x 8-1/2". 

 

2) Set aside six sheets to be used as card bases, usually one of each color and two white.  Fold those in half using your bone folder.  

3) From the remaining sheets of 5-1/2" x 8-1/2" colored paper, choose the two colors which coordinate best with all the patterns of designer series paper (DSP).  Cut those sheets in half, and set one half of each color aside for larger mats.  From the remaining two sheets, cut six 1-1/2" x 3-7/8" strips.  If you plan before you cut you can get two strips running one way and a third strip running the other way from each 5-1/2" x 4-1/4" sheet.  

4) Cut six 4-1/8" x 5-3/8" large mats out of the remaining colored sheets.  

5) Cut six 3-7/8" x 3-5/8" patterned mats out of the 6"x6" squares of designer series paper.  

6) Lay out your cards to choose your color combinations.  Each card requires one card base, one large 4-1/8" x 5-3/8" mat, one patterned mat, and one strip.  Do not glue the large mat to the card base yet!  You will need to tape your ribbon to the back of the large mat first.  

7) Run the 1-1/2" x 3-7/8" strip through the Big Shot to give it texture, either with an embossing folder or a texture plate.  

8) Adhere the patterned mat and the textured strip to the large mat.  Choose a ribbon to cover the seam between the two.  Tape the ribbon to the back of the large mat with simple office tape, then adhere the large mat to the card base.  

9) Now that you've gotten this far, take your card design in any direction.  Look through your stamps and choose whatever you think works with the patterns in the designer series paper.  Use the untouched white sheet of card stock to stamp, and the textured card stock and leftover DSP as mats and highlights.  

To continue duplicating my design....

10) Punch the owls out of both colors of textured card stock, and alternate colors when building the owl.  First place the vest, but don't glue it down.  Next glue the large eye circles using Tombow multi-purpose glue, and using the vest as a guide.  Once the eyes are placed, glue down the vest.  Separately, glue the tiny eye circles on the medium eye circles, using tweezers if necessary.  When those are done, glue the medium eye circles to the owl.  Lastly attach the heart.

11) Stamp the "together" definition in Chocolate Chip ink on white card stock and cut it out.  Cut a mat out of textured card stock.  Adhere the matted definition and the owls to the card as shown in my example.  

12) Punch two small hearts with the heart-to-heart punch.  Glue them to the backs of the heart shaped Bitty Buttons.  Glue those to your card as shown in my example.  You're done!  

 

Tips:

• Don't follow all my directions! Make this layout your own. Get creative. Adjust for your own style and your supplies. 
• If you don't have a Big Shot to add texture to the 1-1/2" x 3-7/8" strips, cut those strips out of textured card stock instead.  
• Experiment with different layouts within this larger layout design.  Try leaving the DSP uncovered to show off it's pattern, or cover it almost completely with another square of white cardstock and a stamped design.  Place your focal point on the right hand strip, or in the center of the DSP mat.  There are a lot of possibilities.  
• Experiment with different ways to dress up your ribbon.  Try a bow, a knot with ends, layered ribbon or layered lace on ribbon, or a strip of contrasting DSP used in place of a ribbon.
• To add "thread" to the heart buttons, cut tiny strips of card stock from scraps and thread those through.  Since these buttons are transparent, cut the ends of the strips very short and try to wrap them directly underneath.  Attach with Tombow glue.    
• It's easy to punch out additional hearts from the Two-Step Owl punch.  Hold the punch upside down so you can see the punch holes.  Since the heart is on the edge of the punch, you can just slide a small corner of paper into that area only and punch out a heart without wasting card stock.  Try placing the owls' hearts above their heads.  
• Don't forget the inside of the card and the envelope!  Stamp a subtle design or a greeting on each.  Think of how your recipient will open the envelope and the card.
  
• Post a picture of your creations and leave a link here in the comments section!  If you upload to a public site, such as SplitCoastStampers.com, please use the keyword PPSAS7.  

NEXT MONTH: Play Date designer series paper!
