Stamp Camp Sneak Peek

Stamp Camp · Stampin' Up! · Virtual Stamp Camp

Welcome Friends! If you follow me on Instagram or on my Facebook Busy with the Cricky page, you know that my friend Bonnie Sanche from Calvary, Canada and I team up three times a year for a Virtual Stamp Camp. Bonnie and I compliment one another with our design styles and we enjoy working together.

This month we have our Virtual Stamp Camp coming up on July 15th at 1:00 pm EDT. We will provide a Zoom link to those who register, as well as unlimited access to the group Facebook page. Bonnie and I will go live on Zoom, joined by whoever wants to go live with us, and teach four projects each. We will also record each of the eight project videos and will have those available forever in the FB page. We will also have print tutorials available in the FB group.

The deadline for ordering the full kit package has passed, however you can still sign up for the full virtual experience. Just order your supplies through my online Stampin' Up! store (US or Bonnie's in Canada, or from yourself if you are a Demonstrator) and purchase the virtual package for $25.00. Contact me through my email (sre433@att.net) if you would like to join the fun and create some wonderful projects.

By the way, the photo above is a sneak peek of my 3D project for the Stamp Camp. SIgn up today!!

Fox On The Run

Card · Fun Card · Stampin' Up!

Welcome Friends! Today I am sharing this fun card I call, Fox On The Run - after a 1974 rock song. Well THAT was a while ago!

My inspiration for this card came from a momentary whim while cutting my Designer Series Paper. Seriously. I knew I was going to do a split card using the Countryside Corner dies to cut the bridging piece. I decided to add some fun and cut a second copy of the die in the Calypso Coral dsp. Originally I planned to add a strip of the dots at the top and bottom of the white die cut, but when I placed the dot die cut on my paper trimmer to cut it, I suddenly thought, "cut it on an angle!" And so I did.

The angle cut effected everything about the card. Suddenly I ditched the stamp set I had planned to use and grabbed Zany Zoo. Then I looked at the Zany Zoo dsp and loved this fun fox!

A bit of coloring and some stamping and voila!, I had a card!

This card uses three different packages of Designer Series Paper. The Zany Zoo dsp, the Subtles 6x6 dsp, and the Masterfully Made dsp. I love pretty paper. Luckily, there is a sale going now through the end of the month. Stampin' Up! has thirteen dsp prints on sale for 15% off through the end of the month!!

Product Showcase Project - The Clutch Bag

Welcome Friends! I mentioned previously that I planned to share projects I created for a Product Showcase featuring the Stampin' Up! Countryside Inn Suite of products. I adore this suite. I refer to it as the O-negative of the Stampin' Up! catalog. What i mean by that is O-negative is the universal blood donor which can go to anyone else. This product suite can be used with absolutely EVERYTHING in the Stampin' Up! product line. Seriously. Everything! Adding to that, this product is also awesome as a stand along suite!

One of my favorite creations was this adorable little clutch bag. It is so cute and yet so stylish. I chose to use Berry Burst, Bubble Bath, and white together. I cut the sides of the clutch using the largest Countryside Corner die. I then used smaller dies to create the decorative front, as well as additional products.

I used the Two-Toned Flora bundle to create the embellishments for the bag. I love this bundle and I am so happy that it is still in the catalog.

The little clutch holds a set of 3x3 - inch note cards. Perfect for a small note or to accompany a gift.
