Creative Stampers Tutorial Blog Hop

  May 2021 Creative Stampers Tutorial Blog Hop 

Hey there!  It is time for another Creative Stampers Tutorial Blog Hop!  This tutorial features project created by 11 amazing Stampin'UP! demonstrators from around the world featuring projects male products just in time for fathers day!

Each tutorial includes full colour photos, measurements in both imperial and metric and and a product list.

Today, each of us will be sharing a second project using the same products we used to create the project in the tutorial.

Here is a sneak peek of project included in the tutorial!  ;)

I can't share the tutorial project, but I can share a second project featuring the Handsomely Suited bundle. **Warning proud mama moment ahead.**

Two of my sons are graduating this spring and I couldn't be more proud!  So what is a crafty mom to do, but make special cards to celebrate and the Handsomely Suited Bundle was the perfect tools to create them. I followed Tami White's amazing Youtube Video to help create them.  You can see it here.

This graduation card is for my middle son who is graduating high school.  I can't believe it!  I am not sure how the time goes so fast.  I am so excited for him and his next adventure - off to college in September.  

This next graduation card is for my oldest who is graduating University!  I don't know how I am old enough to have a university graduate, but I couldn't be prouder of him.  His plan is to work for a year and then complete his Masters in Social Work - he has dreams of making the world a better place.  ;)

Roger's Daytime

Hey there my stampin' friends,

Whew - this week went fast! Before I knew it, it was Friday.  Sometimes that is a good thing, but this week I could have used an extra day or so.  :)

I promised to show you the pictures from my latest adventure with Daytime TV on Roger's.  I always like to take pictures of my display on all my projects that I made.

The first picture is of my display.  The theme for this show is graduation.  I personally don't have anyone graduating this year, but next year, well, that is another story. 

I thought about what colours are in most school colour scheme's and what colours can be used for both boys and girls.  SO, the DSP I chose to showcase is the Floral Boutique DSP.  I LOVE blue and white together.  I also added some gold foil sheets and some Melon Mambo to help pump up the wow factor. 

I wanted to focus on giving gift cards.  I decided to use the Mini Treat Bag thinlits to create some fabulous and fun gift card holders.  They are the perfect size.  Here is one that I made using DSP to create the mini treat bag and then I added a belly band with Melon Mambo and some white ribbon.  Finally, I added some layered stars and my greeting.
 

I have seen so many ideas using mason jars on pinterest, I just had to create on graduation style!  I used some candy sticks I purchased at a bulk food store and I added the numbers of the graduation year.  I also cut some different size stars and attached them to some sticks as well.  Finally, I added a layered belly band with some layered stars and finally a banner using the new Duet Banner Punch and Thoughtful Banner stampset.   These would be really cute as table center pieces.  

Another couple of styles of the gift card holder, Mini Treat Bag

I also made a picture frame with the year inside.  I really liked how this turned out!  I can picture this beside the cake. 

Finally, I made a card.  See how in the frame I used the letters cut out?  Well on the card, I used the negative cut out of the letters!  This card was such a hit with my card class attendees.   I ended up finding a home of each of them!

Stampin' Celebration Challenge!

Hey everyone,

I have another project to share with you today!  For this project, I took my inspiration from Stampin' Celebration Challenge!  We have a fab sketch for you to play along with - I just LOVE sketches!

Here it is ...

So.... I took the opportunity to work ahead (as a Designer for the team, I get the see the challenges weeks ahead - stay tuned, we will soon be looking for more guest designers! ) AND I used the sketch to help prepare one of my projects for my Graduation Segment on Roger's Daytime TV.  

I wanted to make some thing extra special, something that was different than a card.  I chose to make a table decoration to sit beside the cake at a graduation party.  Here is my project....

I used lots of great tools for this project!  My Big Shot of course, the Banner Framelits as well as the Large Numbers Framelits and Balloon Bouquet punch.  

 

I also used 2 new products on the this project....the Thoughtful Banners Stampset and coordinating Duet Banner Punch!  I just LOVE these two together!  This stampset has SO many occasions that can be celebrated, the possibilities are endless!

Make sure you join us for our challenge this week over at Stampin' Celebration Challenge!

Be sure to stop by my blog later this week to see the other projects I made for the Graduation segment at Roger's Daytime!

Graduating with Hand Stamped Sentiments

Hi,

So glad you stopped by today!  I have a great project to share with you - it's from my most recent appearance on Roger's Daytime!  Stay tuned later this week, when I will have more projects from the TV show to share.

The theme for the show was graduation.  Do you need to prepare any graduation gifts this year?  I won't this year, but next year - wowzers!  I will have one graduating from Grade 8 and one from Grade 12 and it's gonna come fast, I am sure!

The design team over at Hand Stamped Sentiments had some great colour inspiration this week with challenge #240 (HSSCC240), so I tapped into it.

Here is one of the projects I created...

I hope I am not breaking the rules, but I substituted the Pink Piroutte for Melon Mombo.  (I was all out of Pink Piroutte).  I used the Mini Treat Bag Thinlits to create a gift card holder.  I don't know about you but if I can make the gift card packaging more heartfelt, I don't feel so bad about not getting a present - even if it's what they asked for!  :) 

I made the treat bag out of the new Floral Boutique DSP from the Annual Catalogue.  If you are a fan of navy and white, you are going to love this DSP.  

I cut a piece of Night of Navy cardstock to make the 'inside of the card'.  I stamped the sentiment on one side and used my glue dots to stick the gift card to the other.  

I decorated the treat bag using some Melon Mombo cardstock (I didn't have any Pink Piroute) to make a 'belly band', then added a layer of ribbon. 

I couldn't resist using my Star Thinlits to make a layered star - I am so happy that the gold and silver foil cardstock is back in the catalogue this year.  

My sentiment is from the B.Y.O.P. stampset.  This set is perfect for gift cards for ANY occasion - a must have if you find yourself giving lots of gift cards. 

I hope you enjoyed my project.  Be sure to stop on over to Hand Stamped Stentiments to see all of the wonderful creations and make sure your stop by my blog later this week and see all of the projects I made for my appearance on Roger's Daytime TV.

Grungin' it up with Stampin' Celebration

Hey there stamper's

It's time for another challenge over at Stampin' Celebration - and you are going to just LOVE this sketch!

 
When I first saw this sketch - I thought Gorgeous Grunge!  Those lines are perfect.  I also thought this would be a great celebration card, ironically enough. lol  Recently, a couple of my nephews graduated from high school and this would be a great layout for their cards.

The colours I used are Bermuda Bay, Crushed Curry and Whisper White.  The patterned paper is from the new Cherry on Top DSP paper stack.  I used 2 stampsets for this card....Gorgeous Grunge and Celebrate Today.  I made the stars using the Itty Bitty Accents Punch Pack and the Star Framelits - which by the way are at a discount price until Monday July 27th!


Be sure to join us over at Stampin' Celebration - we can't wait to see what you create!

Happy stampin'
