In Color Mini Album for Mom

Now you get to see my last Creative Crew project, CCREW0412SF – Scrapbook Inspiration Focus.  Make a mini scrapbook album using the 2010-2012 In Colors and pattern packs. What a nice way to say good-bye to these colors!  I saw an album at a recent fundraiser that intrigued me.  The album was different than any other I have seen. I decided to try making one for this challenge. The binding is called "stack the deck".  Laura Dennison has a video on how the binding is made. I googled her name and "stack the deck binding" to find the directions.

What Can You Do With Stampin’ Up!’s Label Collection?

Today's post showcases projects made at my pre-buy class this month with the Labels Collection framelits and Apothecary Art stamp set.  The class was free when my customers signed up and paid for the pre buy incentive.

We started with a frame cut out and the stamped image on the inside of the card:

TIP: close the card and insert the stamped piece in the cut out space. Then open the card and press the image down to make sure it is adhered.

Second card and be used as a place card or gift card and can be made any size:

TIP:  Place folded card stock on clear pad, place framelit a little above the fold so the card will be attached at the top.  Also shave a little flat area on the bottom so the card will stand on its own.

Next project was a darling purse made with the largest framelit:

Side View:

TIP:  Cut your framelit first then emboss with your favorite Textured Impressions embossing folder.

Last was a half-cut Z card:

Opened:

TIP:  Place framelit centered on fold,turn handle slowly and run framelit half way through the Big Shot and then back it back out.  If it is not to the half way mark repeat going a little further.  If it is a little too much it will not matter as it will be covered by card stock.

Twitterpated and Spring Vintage Fabric Purse

For Splitcoaststampers Creative Crew CCREW0312HF (Holiday Focus)  this month, we were asked to Celebrate National crafting month!  We were asked to pull that idea that you've been "wanting to do" out and create it.  We could use any theme, and create any type of project, decor item, centerpiece, something with fabric, etc.

Well,  this is just what I needed to, pull out that pattern I had bought 3 years ago for a purse made with fat quarters.  After looking in my fabric closet (yes, I also collected fabric and patterns before stamping) for an hour, I found the pattern I was looking for. Next, I chose the fabrics which was easy!  I loved the new Twitterpated Designer Fabric from Stampin' Up! and I also used Springtime Vintage Designer Fabric as well. Below is my completed project.
