Family Vacation

Sorry that I haven't posted in a while. I have been away for a family vacation. I got to do some stamping and look forward to sharing those ideas with you soon. Thank you for your patience :-) --Julie

Clear Envelope Book

I stamped this Clear Envelope Book for a friend of mine who suffered a great loss this week. Instead of pictures inside, it contains scriptures to help her through. Click here to access the directions. I wrote a personal note on the back cover for her. I printed the scripture verses on to Certainly Celery CS and will be stamping those before I put them in the book.

Even though I made this project for a sad occasion, I pray that it gives my friend comfort. I poured prayers and love into each step. I will definitely make one of these again. It was a very fast book to make and is great for a few pictures. A Brag Book for you or Nana or Grandma? A recipe book for a new bride? A nice way to show off some of your card creations? I am sure you will find more fabulous ways to use this very versatile book. Let me know what you think!

Links

Hi Stampers -- At this point I have figured out how to attach a link to the Stampin' Up! item that I have used in a project. Woo-hoo! If you pass your mouse over the item you desire to see, it should highlight it. Click and it should direct you to the item in the current Stampin' Up! Catalog. I hope this is helpful to you. :-) Thank you! --Julie

Everyday Inspiration

Today I received a flyer from a local store advertising a bedding set that was really beautiful. I looked at it for a while only to realize I didn't want the set, but I loved the color combination and design! [You know you have "Stampin' Sickness" when you start to look at flyers and dream of card designs instead of wanting the item for your house!!! Hahaha!] So, I clipped it out and created these three cards based on the color design. Let me know what you think!

I would love to know if you have your own everyday inspiration. Please e-mail me with a picture of your creation! I would enjoy seeing what you create! --Julie

One Sheet Box Template

I just love these cute little One Sheet Boxes! And, they are so easy to make! I made these two for the Stamp Camp I am having today. I just love how they came out. I used the VersaMarker and the Pastels to get a very soft look with the images. To make your own you'll need the following supplies:

· Paper cutter with scoring tool
· Bone folder
· Cardstock - one sheet of 8 1/2" x 11
· Additional cardstock for main image
· Stamps

· Ink
· Ribbon
· Cropodile or Double Rectangle or Circle Punch

Step-by-Step

1. Score sheet of cardstock on the short side at 2-1/2", turn 90 degrees and score at 4-1/2", turn and score at 2-1/2", and turn and score at 4-1/2".
2. Prefold along score lines several times both ways, or step three will be difficult.
3. Looking at the scored corner rectangle, bring the horizontal fold to vertical fold to create a diagonal crease in the corner rectangle. Do this for each corner.
4. Use a bone folder to really make the diagonal folds "sharp" and easier to fold the sheet into a box.
5. Stamp your cardstock.
6. Prefold the box by inverting the diagonal folds towards the box center.
7. Stamp center image and accent and adhere to box front.
8. Adhere the box so it will stand w/out falling apart.
9. Punch the holes for your ribbon and thread ribbon through both holes.
10. Tie the ribbon in front and the box is complete.

Side By Side Template

It has been pouring buckets today! It is drab and bleak out. However, with my daughter home sick and snoozing, I was able to stamp a bunch of cards using this template.

Basic Instructions: Stamp the right side of the gift card [5-1/2' x 4-1/4"] with a pattern using the same color ink as the CS. Do the same for the 2-1/8" x 5-1/2" piece of CS. Open the card and punch with the RECTANGLE HAND PUNCH on the left side near the center . Thread your ribbon through. Adhere your 2-1/8" x 5-1/2" CS to gift card. Tie ribbon and center knot. Decorate as you want.

Check out my samples and create your own! Have a great day!!!
