More Creative Crew Projects and Blossom Builder’s Kit
CCREW0412CF – Catalog Focus – for April we were to use our Simply Scrapping kits or Quick Accent kits and at least 2 of the 2010-2012 In Colors on our project. I chose to make a stationery holder with matching cards and envelopes. This is a quick and easy challenge to do, so why don't you join the challlenge and upload your creation? We would love to see what you come up with using the Simply Scrappin' kits and/or Quick Accents kits.
Here is the closed folder:
Inside:
Whole group:
Cards only:
Detail:
DIRECTIONS: The folder is made from one sheet of card stock that is scored at 5 1/2" on the long side and at 2 1/2" on the short side. On the inside picture, you will see I cut a V on the 2 1/2" section so that the folder will not bind when closed. Punch holes with the Crop-a-dile and thread your ribbon through to tie it all together!
Stamps: My Friend, Curvy Verses
Card stock: Blusing Bride, Whisper White, Pear Pizzazz, 2010-2012 In Colors Designer Series Paper
Ink: Basic Black
Accessories: Blossom Builders Designer Printed Kit, Pear Pizzazz Stitched Poly Ribbon, Medium Whisper White Envelopes
Tomorrow my project will in honor of Father's Day.

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.

Have fun playing with your Stampin' Up! Label Collections Framelits and Apothecary Art stamp set in Stampin' Up!'s 2012 Occasions Mini catalog. Designer Series Paper is from Everyday Enchantment from the Sale-a-bration Catalog.
Cards for All Occasions from Stampin’ Up’s 2012 Occasions Mini
March is going by fast, I knew it would be a busy month and I am trying to play catch up with my blog posts. Below are some of the cards from this month's card buffet. All cards used stamp sets from Stampin' Up!'s 2012 Occasions Mini catalog. The first card uses Outlined Occasions from the Sale-a-bration catalog and Beautiful Wings embosslit from Stampin' Up!. I, also, used the embedded embossing technique.
Next is an Easter card I created with the Hostess set Up in the Air:
And I love the Bordering on Romance stamp set, as it is a great set all by itself, and because it coordinates with the Adorning Accents Edgelits and Adorning Accents Textured Embossing Folders as well. The watercolor marker technique was used to color this card.
Don't forget Sale-a-bration ends March 31st, so place your order soon so you don't miss out getting your favorite Sale-a-bration item for free!
Loads of Love On Your Birthday!
This is a card I made for my grandson, Michael, for his birthday last month. I made it using his favorite color green and since he likes trucks, I used the Loads of Love stamp set. Because his birthday is in February, I loaded the truck with hearts!
The pull out tag was cut with Stampin' Up!'s Two Tag die and the Big Shot:
Below the inside of the tag which held his gift — what every teaenager wants — money!
Packed For Dad Card & Bookmark
For Splitcoaststampers Creative Crew CF (Catalog Focus) challenge this month, we were asked to focus on page 216 of Stampin' Up's Catalog & Idea Book and use either the cork, magnet, On Board , wood, or window sheets. i chose the wood sheets as I had never used them before and figured it would definitely be a challenge for me to use them.
I made a card and matching bookmark for Dad or any masculine birthday. You could easily change this to a Father's Day card and gift.
Stamps: Packed for Dad, Bring On the Cake
Card Stock: Very Vanilla, Cajun Craze, Not Quite Navy
Ink: Early Expresso, Not Quite Navt, Cajun Craze
