Stampin' Up Pockets of Sunshine and Wood Crate Texas scrapbook page, treat and card ensemble

in , , , by jangirlstamps, 11:05 AM

On Saturdays I like to post what I call Saturday Series. Which is where I like to take one product and showcase it several ways. Well the last couple of days here in Texas have been a little rough, where everyone is glued to the TV to see about the hurricaine. We live several hours from the eye of the storm, but its hard to watch it unfold. So today I wanted to showcase some TEXAS ideas!! As I was making this scrapbook page and card, I was singing "God Bless Texas!" so if you wanna hum along, so ahead!! :)))





What do you think... pretty cute right!! I thought so!!

Here's a closer look at the scrapbook page.



I really liked the colors, very warm and so TEXAN!! I wanted to show you a closer picture of the pocket and heart, they kinda steal the show!



To make the pocket, I first started out with a piece of Whisper White cardstock. I used the foam brayer and added Night of Navy Ink, until I got the desired 'denim' look I was going for. I wanted it to look faded, so the brayer did the trick. If you haven't tried the new foam brayer, it's pretty easy and to me it seemed easier to control the amount of color. After I used the brayer, I then cut it out using the Pocket Framelits. I tried a couple different colors for the stitching on the pocket....Real Red did the trick!! LOVE it!!



Here's the 2nd page. How much fun is this scrapbook page!! So I made the heart using the Sweet and Sassy Heart Framelits. I cut 3 hearts out of Night of Navy, Real Red and Whisper White cardstock, I then layered and cut them so they resemble the Texas flag!! I really love how this turned out. For the title "Hey Ya'll"  I used the Hand Lettered Alphabet Stamp. This was sooo easy to line up because it's a photopolymer set, and you can see right through it. After I stamped the title I then embossed it with the Pinewood Planks embossing folder. I daubed it with Soft Suede.



Here's a card I made. I really like how this turned out. This would be a perfect card for those effected by the storm, or a birthday or just thinking of you!!


Here's a fun treat I made, filled with candy coated nuts!! Yum!!!

I hope you have enjoyed this and feel inspired!!
Have a blessed day!!

Stampin' Up Oh So Eclectic Daisy Scrapbook page

in , by jangirlstamps, 10:41 PM
Once  a month I have a big class, it's called Super Saturday! We make scrapbook pages and cards, and laugh and have the best time.
I wanted to share one of the pages we made this month. I truly is one of my favorite scrapbook pages.





This page turned out so pretty. I think it would be perfect for just about any type of photo, a family, one 5x7, or children, or a couple. I used the new Pine wood Planks embossing folder. I spritzed it first with water then ran it through the Big Shot. The Pine Wood Plank is in Crumb Cake, it is big enough I ran it through then lined it up, and ran it through again to finish off the panel. I then used the Triple Banner Punch to make "notches" on the edge, so it resemble more of a wood fence. I then daubed the edges in Soft Suede ink. Here is a closer picture


The embossing on this folder is realistic, it really looks good in real life. :)  The butterflies were cut in So Saffron and sponged in Berry Burst, soooo pretty!! I used the Timeless textures to give the spray of dots. Don't you just LOVE that sentiment?? It's from the stamp set Bookcase Builder. LOVE IT!!


I used the Daisy Punch and made 3 layers of  So Saffron, I daubed the center and used a Glitter Enamel dot in the center. I  used the Oh so Eclectic Bundle to make the stamped flowers. 




Here's the other side of the page. I hope you enjoyed this and feel inspired.

Here's the supplies I used, have a great day!

One in a melon Paper Pumpkin Alternate projects: Watermelon Scrapbook page, treat bag and card

Saturday Series: One in a Melon

I am so excited about this month's Paper Pumpkin!! It's right up my alley! It's really perfect  timing for these hot summer days in Texas, doesn't  some nice cold watermelon sound good?  Yum!!! On Saturday's I like to showcase one product used in several different ways, so I hope you enjoy what I came up with from this month's Paper Pumpkin. I made a scrapbook page and a card-completely different than the provided instructions and a fun treat bag.

First, here's a video from Stampin' Up about this month's Paper Pumpkin.









Now you can see why I was so excited. Well here is what I came up with from my kit.


Are those colors great or what!!




To make this card, I simply cut the  original card in half, and put a mat of Melon Mambo cardstock behind it.  I used the new 2 1/4" circle punch to punch the watermelon rind. I then stamped the watermelon and punched it put as well. I used the circle tag that came in the kit and added the word 'friend' from the Lovely Words thinlits.  Of course the sentiment that came in the kit, was perfect for this card!!  Pretty fun and quick!

Here's the bag I made. This went together in a snap, there was adhesive in place ready to go! I added the pineapple and made my watermelon like I did in my card.  I love the little clothespin, it just finishes it off! What a fun bag!

This is what I put in my bag, a perfect summer gift!!


Here is my scrapbook page!! I just love how it turned out!! I have been scrapbooking since 1996, and have NEVER put tissue paper on a scrapbook page, but it was easy!! I adhered the tissue paper to a piece of Melon Mambo to add stability and I smoothed it out to get the wrinkles out! I was so excited how clean the tissue paper looks! I also used a couple of tags from the Paper Pumpkin kit, to make my title pop and to add a little journaling spot!


I have just fallen in love with the way the tissue paper worked here. I made the watermelons with the tissue paper too!!



I can't wait to put some pictures on this page!!!

I hope you enjoyed my alternate projects I made with this month's Paper Pumpkin. Need info about Paper Pumpkin, click on the Paper Pumpkin icon, on right hand side of my blog!! It's like Christmas every month, a great gift idea for you or someone else!! I send my mom one every month, she loves it!

Have a great day!! Thank you for stopping by today!! Come back soon as I will be posting more regularly, my life has settled down a little!!

National Scrapbook day!!

in , , by jangirlstamps, 11:40 PM

Once a month I have a class called Super Saturday, it's a one day retreat that we "tear it up"  and have a great time!!!  Ha-ha!!!Well this Saturday was no exception, we crafted, stamped, laughed and had a great time!!! We made 4 double page scrapbook pages and 4 cards and why stop there...lets make a treat too!!! We had a potato bar with all the fixin's and cookies, cupcakes,  salads and lots of goodies!!


Here are the scrapbook pages we made:

How sweet is that?? This is such a perfect page, to get those Easter pictures and memories down on a page!!


I love the little Easter Basket here, I can't wait to put my pictures to put my pictures on this page.






One of my favorites parts of this layout is the fun title!! I used the Layered Alphabet here, which is perfect for scrapbooking. It's not too big, the font is fun....just perfect, it's (sniff-sniff) also retiring!!!


I just love how this page turned out, the colors are so soft and soothing!! 


One of my favorite embellishments is the shirt, just perfect for the beach!! I stuffed the flip-flops in the "sand".  To make the sand I sponged Crumb Cake on Sahara Sand Cardstock and then used Gorgeous Grunge to add sand! I used the Day at the Beach stamp set on this page,  to make the sun hat, sunglasses and flip-fliops, it is on the retiring list!! To me this stamp is a keeper, great stamp for cards and scrapbook pages!!!












This page was one of the favorites of the day. It's just perfect for all kinds of pictures. I used the Flower Shop stamp set and matching punch to make this page!! The  leaves are from Botanical Gardens Framelit-which is also retiring!!




I like the saying here, it just says it all!!! Don't ya think??



Here is a fun summer page, I got this idea from Rachel Tessman. It's a bright and fun page, all ready for summer!!!



I really like the sun here. I used the Sunburst framelit, and just trimmed it up to a sun with some sass!!! ha-ha!!



Here are some pictures of us having fun!!




















Here's our potato bar!! being creative makes us hungry!!







Have a great day, and check back tomorrow to see the other fun projects we made.
