Quick Card: Sale-a-bration Sneak Peek

Created by Stacey Cogswell

Here is a quick, but yet classy card featuring the stamp set "Fresh Vintage" from the upcoming Sale-a-bration catalog.  I saw the original design for this card on Mary Fish's blog and loved the color block look.  I used the 1 1/4" square punch to quickly punch out all the of the background squares and then arranged them on a piece of Crumb Cake paper, (which will be trimmed down later), leaving just a little space around all the blocks. (Note: No square is needed in the center)  The next layer is a 2 1/2"x 2 1/2" square with a 2"x2" white square in the middle.  Stamp the flowers, punch out with circle punches and layer with a punched scalloped circle (here I used a scrap of designer series paper.)  Cut a 1" strip of paper for the banner, stamp/heat emboss greeting and then use the corner of the square punch to create the end "flag" points.  Trim other end to fit the card, adhere and add flower over the top with dimentionals.  Add three little mini brads and you're done!

Smiles,
Stacey

January 2012 Stamp Camp: Final Project

Here is the last project for the January 2012 stamp camp.  I love the way this project turned out....better than I had imaged it could!  It's a magnetic Post-it pad holder with a calender.  The cool part is that the Post-it pad is just held on with the clip, so when you run out....just add another pad.  This project is a sneak peek at some of the products you can earn for FREE during Sale-a-bration which begins on the 24th of January.  Designer Series paper, Ribbon and Brads that all coordinate, plus a stamp set too!  Hope you like it.

Smiles,
Stacey

January 2012 Stamp Camp Projects


Created by Stacey Cosgwell

This fun project set was created using a new stamp set from the mini Occasions catalog called "P.S. I Love You" and scented embossing powder.  That's right....scented! It really smells great, in this case like fresh cherries.  The candy pocket was created using the Petite Pocket Die and it's the perfect size to hold a super sweet treat!

This sweet card features the new stamp set for the mini Occasion catalog called "Take It to Heart" and "loving Thoughts".  Both sets works wonderfully together to create an elegant Valentine's card.  You'll also get the chance to try out the new Framelit Hearts Collection dies to cut out the heart shaped image.

This super easy View Master card is interactive!  Turn the wheel to reveal eight conversation hearts within the opening.  This card features the single new stamp set called "Candy Conversations".  You may be wondering how I could have used a single stamp to create each single image.  Well here's a hint, I didn't use the masking technique.  Come to camp and see how you can turn your wood mount stamps in to clear cling stamps with use of our clear mount foam.  You'll never look at you wood mount stamps the same way again!
 
The last project; a Post-it note holder and calendar isn't yet finished, but it will be soon!  It's really cute and it will feature several of the FREE Sale-a-bration items available to you in January.

Smiles,
Stacey
