Christmas Door Prizes For Club Class

Jill Coleman — Thu, 12 Nov 2009 14:15:34 -0800

I have been so blessed by my business this week- Club classes on Monday and Tuesday nights, visits with customers, meeting new customers/friends and many phone calls. I love my job and all the wonderful people it has put into my life! Just had to share!

I thought I would also share with you the two door prizes that I gave away this week at my club classes.

This cute mug was made with our Pillow Box Die for the Big Shot and a patternfrom Splitcoast. Too much fun! I just love our 3/4" Real Red Polka-Dot Ribbon! This fun little holder is filled with a stamp and some York Peppermint Patties.

The stamp image comes from the Christmas Punch Level 2 hostess stamp set. You can only get this great set by hosting a party - can I get you a Party In A Basket?? Don't forget, you have until November 30th to take advantage of the Sweet Rewards Hostess Promotion!

This cute Treat Box is also filled with a stamp and chocolate and was actually one of our Make and Take projects at Convention last summer.

Isn't that box adorable?! You can buy these Treat Boxes in the catalog for just $3.95 for 5 boxes (pg. 159) They are a perfect thing to have on-hand for those last minute wrapping needs!

Icy Inkers Swap Cards

Jill Coleman — Fri, 06 Nov 2009 16:30:30 -0800

Here are a couple of swap cards from my Icy Inkers group meeting this last Monday.

Great colors and Jenn added Dazzling Diamonds glitter to the pink frosting which made this extra cute!

I named this card Dasher In Suede. Chris used three of our "Under $10" stamps and just two colors!

Thanks for looking!

Happy Halloween!

Jill Coleman — Fri, 30 Oct 2009 14:19:23 -0700

HAPPY HALLOWEEN TO YOU!

No ghosts and witches here - just a simple, classy pumpkin to wish you a Happy Halloween.

I used a sketch from a SUDSOL Chat and Challenge for this one (CC204).

Sorry for the poor picture quality. While I love our printed window sheets, they are very difficult to capture in photos - too much reflection!

Have a safe and fun weekend!

MDS: My First Project and New Dowloads

Jill Coleman — Wed, 28 Oct 2009 16:00:07 -0700

Ok, so I finally had some time to sit down and play with our new digital paper-crafting software - My Digital Studio(MDS). What fun! It took me a few clicks and a few "oops"'s to get comfortable, but I can see how this will be come very addicting.

Do you see all the fun things you have at your fingertips with this program??? Brads (and tons of other embellishments), punches, designer series papers, Stampin' Up! exclusive colors and great effects like "drop shadow". The drop shadow effect is what gives my flowers a bit of a haze and gives my "Thank You" punch embellishment a little dimension. Too cool!

I created this card to play along with the sketch challenge #3 over at SUDSOL (Stampin' Up! Demonstrator Group). I really like how it turned out. I've been seeing this color combination a lot lately so I decided to go with it: Certainly Celery, Chocolate Chip and Whisper White.

Pull Card - Autumn Thank You

Jill Coleman — Wed, 21 Oct 2009 14:49:45 -0700

This is one of the make and takes my club members made this month. It is a pull up card where you pull the greeting insert out of the card sleeve.

The card sleeve is made from an 5 1/2" x 8 1/2" piece of Sahara Sand card stock that is scored 2 1/4" from each end. This makes your finished card 4" x 5 1/2" - just a bit smaller than your traditional card. But I would prefer smaller to larger so it still fits in our standard Medium Envelopes. The Very Vanilla insert piece measures 3 7/8" x 5 1/2" so it slides in and out with ease!

This card is easy to create but the pull card opening makes it a just a little bit more fun to give.

I truly love the colors of fall in nature and in Stampin' Up! products. Our Autumn Traditions Designer Series Paper is no different. The variety of colors in this collection is a great reminder of the beauty that is outside my window.

Shimmery Autumn Leaves

Jill Coleman — Tue, 20 Oct 2009 19:15:33 -0700

Yea! I'm back with a project for you. Sorry for my delay - thank you for your patience. ;o)

This is a card that I showed to my Stamp Club this month. It uses the beautiful Night and Day Specialty Designer Series Paper from the Holiday Mini Catalog. Love it! The leaves are done with our Leaves #2 die for the Big Shot. I really love the clean look of this card. But the little extra something that makes it a "WOW" card is the shimmer it has.

You can see it a little better in this picture on both the leaves and the Basic Black card itself. I used our Shimmer Paint from the Holiday Mini Catalog and made some Shimmer Spray. The recipe is 1 oz. of rubbing alcohol to 8 drops of the Shimmer Paint. I used Frost White Shimmer Paint. You can put this in an inexpensive spray bottle, like the ones sold in the travel section in the health and beauty aisles. Just make sure that the spray bottle produces a fines mist spray so you don't have big dots of shimmer rather than overall coverage.

I think almost every one of the ladies that saw this card that evening, purchased their own bottle of Shimmer Paint. It is so inexpensive yet it is versatile and adds an amazing touch to your projects. Whether you are applying it directly to your stamped images like ink or creating Shimmer Spray you will love the results!

Hope you like - thanks for stopping by.
