July Stamp Class - What we made:

This month's stamp class was fantastic!  I had a great group of women to share my craft time with.  We made three projects: a card, a sticky note wallet, and a matchbook gift card holder.  I often showcase cards in my classes, but this month I wanted to add a little bit of variety with non-card projects.

Our first project was a monogrammed sticky note wallet:

Project Recipe (All Stampin' Up! except for the sticky notes)

Stamps: Broadsheet Alphabet
Inks: Basic Black
Papers: Basic Black, Newsprint DSP, Very Vanilla, pad of sticky notes
Accessories: Scallop Circle Punch, 1 3/8" Circle Punch, Scallop Trip Border

Project number two was a card inspired by one of my favorite cities in the world: Paris!

Card Recipe (All Stampin' Up!)

Stamps: Artistic Etchings, En Francais
Inks: Crumb Cake, Marina Mist, Cajun Craze
Papers: Crumb Cake, Marina Mist, Cajun Craze, Very Vanilla
Accessories: Color Coach, Stampin' Sponges, Marina Mist 1/8" Taffeta Ribbon, Linen Thread 

Accessory Note:  I used the Color Coach to find the color combination used in this project.  I probably wouldn't have put these colors together on my own, but I love the result!

Our third and final project of the evening, a matchbook gift card holder, celebrated Christmas in July!

Project Recipe (All Stampin' Up!)

Stamps: Word Play
Inks: Basic Black, Always Artichoke, Cherry Cobbler
Papers: Cherry Cobbler, Always Artichoke, Very Vanilla
Accessories: Stampin' Write Markers, Linen Thread, Mini Glue Dots, Stampin' Sponges

All of these projects were a hit with my class and I hope you like them to!  Check back soon for tutorials on the sticky note wallet and matchbook gift card holder.

Vintage Paris

I love Stampin' Up!'s new colors and stamps that were just released!  I finally had a chance to sit down and play a couple of days ago and whipped up two cute notebooks using my new toys.
