This is a project I am sharing with my stamp club this week- It could be used as a mini scrapbook, a special card for someone, or a little keepsake.
I used the scallop envelope die with the Big Shot to cut 6 envelopes and then I put them together like pockets, I bound them with the ribbon. It is so easy to put together!
The paper and stamp set is part of a promotion this month!
This idea was shared at our monthly demo get together this week and for me it was one of those ideas that I wanted to hurry home and use! I love it!
I purchased the sticker paper at Office Max- make sure it is the removable sticker sheets- so that you can take the pieces off easily. I cut a sheet of sticker paper to fit over the whole die and using the corner rounder I rounded the corners. I then attached the paper to the die.
Then run it through the Big Shot. Take the sticker sheets off of the images.
Now you can see the images- now for the best part! Mark each image with the size you cardstock or material need to be to cut the image!
Hope you found this as useful as I did!
I had my club meeting last night- this is a wonderful group of ladies who meet monthly to stamp, laugh and share. We have been together for years and each and everyone of us looks forward to this night. It is so much more than stampin' fun! We have mourned deaths of loved ones, celebrated babies being born, prayed for sick family members, and laughed until it hurt. I love what each of these ladies have brought into my life and thank them for their support! These are the projects we did last night- they are fairly simple but I wanted to show a few things that could still be made by Christmas- it is hard to believe it will be here in 2 weeks!
This is the cocoa packet we made using the Letterpress plates. If you click on this little photo you will see it up close. These plates are fun to play with and after some experimenting and other demonstators sharing their tips- I have found that I love the look that I get with them. Stampin' Up! put a video on you tube to show some uses with these plates and I will put the video up so that you can watch it. My favorite technique with these plates is to use Versamark ink to ink up the plate. I then use the crease pad for the Big Shot instead of the acrylic plate, and any cardstock works great. I, of course, didn't tape my paper down first- I am just not too concerned about it being perfect- just me. We then added a couple of rhinestones- love them- and tore a fabric ribbon and the little snowman tag.
The other two projects are pretty easy- we just used embossing folders and die cut box- if you want to know more- please feel free to ask.
I will be starting new clubs in January. They will run for at least 6 months - these are fun nights of stampin' and sharin'. If you are interested in joining a club or starting your own let me know. Clubs are a great way to learn new stampin' techniques, make some fun projects and enjoy the company of other stampers. At least once during the 6 month club you get all the hostess benefits!
This is the gift I made for the party. I think it will be easier to post pictures of the products I used. If you interested in more info just post a comment or email me!

Tomorrow night is our annual Demonstrator Christmas Party- it is one of my favorite nights of the year! I love getting together with other rubber stamping enthusiasts (or other addicts). We share a pot luck dinner and then do a gift exchange. It is always amazing to me what everyone makes. This is my gift- I can't show it to you until Friday- but come back then and I will show you what I made. I always make a party favor for everyone in attendance and this year I made a great gift for them to use all year- I will show you that on Friday too!
The gift wrap is recycled newsprint- so if any of them need a place to live in Red Lodge they can look for that too- while they are opening the gift. I used some of our great striped grosgrain in Marina Mist to make the bow, and cut some glitter fun foam with the Big Shot Snowflake Die- I then tied that on with a little Tinsel Trim. Simple but still great looking- and I know whomever gets this gift will recycle the bow and the glitter snowflake- because that is just how we are!
Have a wonderful Day-
Diane
Just made a quick stocking hat for my Build a Bear. It is a great way to show people the material. As you can see I also made a couple of coasters- just like the ones in the instruction booklet that comes with the fabric!
I had a little time to play a week or so ago and I made this Christmas tree. I love how fast it was to do and I actually completed it in a couple of hours. The garland is strips of our new fabric torn and tied together- then I glued buttons on it for show. The paper ornaments are just two images taped together with a paper clip glued in between the layers- I then added a little bling. The pinwheels are just a 2 inch square cut diagonally and then using dimensionals I taped the corners down. I made the tree skirt by sewing together 4 of the scallop squares- easy! I only sew 3 seams into it- and the 4th is the opening for the trunk.
If you have questions let me know-
I think I will send it off with my daughter after Thanksgiving to give her dorm room a lift :).
This was made using the Scallop Square Die for the Big Shot- it is so easy to do! The embellishment was done with Fancy Flower Die.
I am thinking about buying some lotions and soaps and things like that and then covering them with the matching Designer Paper- cute gift idea!
I am sending out my Holiday Helper Newsletter starting on November 1st- it will have great ideas for the Holidays! Sign up for my newsletter to enjoy your copy.

I was getting tired of going to the post office lately- living in a small town we don't get our mail delivered to our house- so everyday I have to go to the post office and pick up the mail. Lately our mail consists of a lot of stuff for my husbands auto parts business, a few college postcards for my daughter and a few for my son too, a few bills, and that is about it. This is me whining- I never get any "fun" mail- so yesterday I take the trek to the post office---- and what do I see! A package for ME!!! It is from Jill Olson- for those who don't know her she is one of the first demonstrators to sign up with Stampin' Up!, she is what is called my up-upline, so I belong to her group of demos, which is huge! Anytime I get something from a stamper or fellow demo- I rip it open right there at the Post Office! This time was no exception- Isn't it awesome! It is a magnetic note board and when you see how she put it together you are going to want one too!
Here is a close-up of the shapes and the back- It is just a piece of sheet metal from any hardware store!
How cute is this- she used The Write Stuff Designer Series Paper, the Big Shot Die Flowers Layers #3 and cut out paper and chipboard, layered it with a few other embellishments- and covered the whole thing in Crystal Effects! Placed a magnet on the back and the Flowers hold everything in place.
