Leadership Projects

Several of you have asked about seeing what I made while I was away earlier this month.  So... here they are.  We staged a picture of all our make and take projects, complete with chocolate.  We can't stamp without chocolate, ya know. ;-)  And do you see that flower punch in the right side of the photo?  That's one of the new punches, available in the Occasions Mini.  I love the new punch design!  And how about that little milk carton in the middle of the page... too cute!  It was created using the new die in the mini catalog. 

Here's a picture of my good friend Deb, with one of the cards we made:

All these projects were made using the With All My Heart Stamp set from the Occasions Mini.  Did you know that the stamps in the Occasions Mini are available in wood mount AND clear mount now?  I'll post more on that later this week!  If you don't have a copy of the Occasions mini you can download it from my right side bar. If you'd like your own copy mailed to you, please email me at stacey@staceystampinspace.com and I will send one to you!  

You can join in on this kind of fun, too. Contact me today to find out more about being a Stampin' Up! demonstrator and running your own business your way - career, part time, hobby - whatever you want it to be!

Party Hearty Sweet Always scrapbook page

Here's a project I made awhile ago with my scrapbook club.  It's one of my favorites so I just had to share.  Plus, it's from my youngest daughter's first birthday.  Since she'll be two in less than two weeks, I figure I'd better share now! 

The designer paper, sweet always, is retired, but I just just love the color combination!  Each vertical panel is stamped with a different image from the Party Hearty stamp set. All of the elements are raised with dimensionals.  Here's a close up of each page, along with some details on the page.

Are you wondering how I got the pink edge on my title?  You may bot be able to tell in this photo, but I layered two top notes.  I cut them out (at the same time!) with my Big Shot.  I then used my paper snips to trim the perforated edge off the Regal Rose top note.  Something else to mention is the party hat image was colored in with markers to get the multi-colored result.

This page has some fun stuff going on....   The center of the Celebrate You image was created using a Build-a-brad.  I just love playing around with those!  And did you notice the glittered cupcake frosting?  That's one of my favorite parts of this page.  That was created using heat and stick powder, with fine glitter.  Don't know what heat and stick powder is?  Or don't know how to use it?  Here's a mini tutorial for you:

1.  Stamp your image in Versamark.

2. Apply heat and stick powder to stamped image.  Shake off excess.

3. Use heat tool to melt heat and stick powder.  It will turn smooth and sticky.

4. Apply glitter to image.  Shake off excess.

5. Use heat tool for just a couple seconds to set the glitter.

6. Finish your project!

That's it.... super simple and creates such a wow!  You can't get that same result using a two-way glue pen with glitter.

Sand Castle Scrapbook Page

I think it's time for me to share another scrapbook layout, don't you?  This layout was inspired by a 6x6 page I saw while I was at the Stampin' Up! convention in August.  I love going to convention because in addition to just being FUN, I also learn so many new things.  If you'd like to think about joining me at convention next year, check out this post for more information on being a demonstrator.  

So, here's my layout.  I didn't get a very good picture of the two page spread, but the individual page pictures turned out much better. :-)

 

On both pages I used Tempting Turquoise on my base.  I sponged Tempting Turquoise over the background pages, then I used my Sponge Dauber to add some Whisper White Craft ink, which I rubbed into the shapes of clouds.  For the sand going across the bottom, I used a few layers of Kraft cardstock with torn edges.  I then used the Color Spritzer tool with the Basic Gray marker to add speckles to the sand for added interest.  The sand dollars were created using the 1/2" circle punch and Whisper White and the starfish were created using the Small Star punch and Cameo Coral card stock.  I used my Bone Folder to help add some texture to these pieces before attaching them to the page with dimensionals.

On the first page the title was created using the Big Shot and the Go Go Boots alphabet.  The sandcastle was created using several pieces of Kraft cardstock, the Spiral Punch, the horizontal slot punch, and the new Modern Label punch. 

 

The second page the date was also created using the Go Go Boots alphabet set and the Big Shot.  The sun was made using Summer Sun cardstock.   I first cut a circle with my Circle Scissor Plus, sponged the edges with Summer Sun ink and attached it to my page.  I then trimmed the edges off.  I took another piece of Summer Sun cardstock and covered it with VersaMark, then embossed with Iridescent Ice powder.  I then used the 1 1/4" Square Punch to punch out 3 squares, which I cut in half along the diagonal.  I placed these under the edge of the sun.  The blank white square is for my journaling which I usually add after I take my pictures.

What do you think?  Leave me a comment and let me know!

Priceless Scrapbook Page

Here's a 12x12 layout I created a couple months ago for my Scrap Club. 

 

I started out working with Whisper White, Basic Black and Real Red.  Once I pulled my pictures together I realized that the girls were wearing the same turquoise color so I traded in some of my Basic Black for Tempting Turquoise. This was fun layout to put together.  The half circles were made by cutting circles with the Circle Scissor Plus and then cutting them in half. I then used the Emboss Resist technique for my images.  I first stamped the heart and small flower images from Priceless in versamark and heat embossed with clear embossing powder.  Then I applied real red ink using a stampin sponge and wiped over it with a paper towel to remove the ink from the images.  The title was made using the Big Shot Go-Go Boots alphabet (for the smaller letters) and Serif Essentials alphabet (for the larger letters).  To make the larger letters I cut two letters using the Big Shot, one in black one in white.  I then sponged some real red over the letter and some tempting turquoise around the edges.  I placed the white letter on top of the black letter so they were a little offset from each other, creating a shadowed look.   The photos are mounted on tempting turquoise before being attached to the real red.  The white box is for journaling that I did after I took this picture.  There is some tempting turquoise sponged around the edges.  Lastly, to add interest to the red areas around my photos and title I clear embossed the same heart image in some of the open areas. 

Here's a closer picture of each page individually.

Scrapbook Page - Polka Dot Punches

Today's project is one I made a few months ago during Sale-A-Bration but since I hadn't shared it yet I thought I would.  When I went to the Stampin' Up! Leadership conference in January my husband and two youngest kids came down to Florida with me.  Of course we couldn't return home without a stop at Disney. :)  When I was working on this layout to show my class attendees the SAB products I never envisioned my Disney pictures here.  However when I was lookingthrough my photos I noticed the green in my husband's shirt and the blue skies went perfectly so I just couldn't ignore that!  So, here's the two page spread:

 

The base of each page is 12x12 so saffron, with an 8 1/2x11 page of sahara sand.  I added several pieces of the SAB designer paper that I got for free.  I also added the free SAB ribbon.  The pictures were mounted on certainly celery before they were added to the layout. The heart embellishments were created using the Polka Dot Punches SAB set.  I stamped the image in whisper white craft and heat embossed with white ep before punching them out with my full heart punch.  They were attached to the layout using dimensionals.  Here's a close up the first page:

 

When I was putting together the first page I couldn't find a pattern of the dsp that I liked for the top left area so I decided to create my own pattern.  I took a piece of bashful blue and ran it through the Big Shot with one of the Stampin' Up! exclusive texture plates.  It's hard to see in the picture, but there are small raised dots on that piece - coordinates great with the dots in the the dsp right below it and the dots in the punched hearts.  The second page is pretty straightforward:  

 

I'm feeling like this layout needs something else - I'm thinking title or journaling - probably both.  But I can't figure out quite where I want to add that.  Any suggestions?  If you have any either email me at stacey@staceystampinspace.com or post a comment here.

If you are interested in creating this layout on your own and you don't have the SAB supplies you can easily substitute other designer paper and ribbon.  If you'd like to order any supplies to make this layout just click here to order online and then click on "Shop Now".  A supply list is included below.
