Stamp Camp Aug #5

Left off with Project number 4 from Stamp camp and then posted several other projects so I'm back to sharing the rest of the projects we did at Camp in Aug.. (yecks Aug is about over!) This Medallion Stamp is so beautiful.. I recieved several swaps with it from Convention and they were all a WOW. This one is Stamped in Versa Mark and the Pastels were used with our sponge daubers to create this look.. This technique is called Poppin' Pastels. It is like Magic! It WOW's me every time. The center of the Medallion is from the stamp set circle circus. It punches out with our scallop circle punch and embellished with our jumbo brads..
remember you can order all the supplies to make this card directly from my website!

according Brag Book


seems like these days when you see someone out at the grocery store or where ever you might be on your outings and they want to show you photo's of their family, they pull out their cell phone and start showing off pictures.. Why not get those pictures printed and put them in a cute 4x4 according brag book that they can actually "See" who the people are! This is a simple easy way to show off your photos and you can add to it at any time. This one will hold 4 photos but I have one that according out to hold 12! This is a project that I'm doing at my workshop this month for Scrapbookers..This show other area beside the big scrapbook that can sometimes be overwhelming and that is why we just carry those photo around in our phones.. Wonder why there is a "T" on this one.. 'cause this is one that my hostess will get to keep for having me over to share my love of Stamping with them. Contact me to book a gathering with you and your friends and I'll show you how to make this!
Thanks for stopping by and get those pictures printed!

Card or Scrapbook page?


Several months ago at one of our Demo Meetings, Tabitha show us how she would show Scrapbookers how they can use Stamps to make scrapbook pages OR same concept to make a card or vice versa. (Tabby's originals found here, http://injoytoday.blogspot.com/2008/11/upsy-daisy.html)
One of my workshop this month is going to be mostly all new stampers, and mostly scrapbookers. So I took Tabby's idea changed up the colors (inserted my son's picture) and this is what you get. Both Start as a 6x6 piece of Card stock. The Card is Folded in half and makes a 3X6 card ( that fits in Stampin' Up!'s open ended envelopes!) I love this idea.. Girls at this workshop with get to choose either making a card or a scrapbook page. This 6x6 can be layered on a 8 1/2 x 11 and then on to a 12x12 or left to make a great 6x6 by itself (which is my favorite size Scrapbooks) Hope you'll see how easy it is to incorporate stamping in your scrapbooks or make some cards! Thanks for stopping by.. Hope you Share Stamping with someone today!

Convention 2009



This article was posted in the Salt Lake City "Desert News paper" want to share

Inspire. Create. Share.

When it comes to the art and craft of stamping, the theme of this year's national Stampin' Up! convention says it all, says Shelli Gardner, co-founder and CEO of the 20-year-old company.

Card-making, scrapbooking, home decor, gift items, apparel — whatever you do, however you find your creative outlet, she says, your life can be enriched.

Through these crafts, "you create tangible products, but you create something of value on many levels," Gardner says.

"And then you can turn around and share it with others. True inspiration causes you to stop and think, but it also so powerful that it moves you to action," she says. "A lot of fulfillment comes from that."

One of her favorite quotes comes from Ralph Waldo Emerson, who said: "In life, the hand can never execute anything higher than the heart can inspire."

Through these crafts, she says, "you are able to create the most valuable thing of all — relationships. That's the thing that most of our stampers talk about. Fun and enthusiasm are contagious and meant to be shared."

Stampin' Up! was started in 1988 by Gardner and her sister, LaVonne Crosby, when they got hooked on stamping and looked for a home-based business opportunity that would let them buy and sell rubber stamps. Finding none, they decided to create their own.

Today, there are some 40,000 Stampin' Up! demonstrators worldwide. The products are sold through in-home workshops and demonstrations and (at a slightly higher price) online. Today, the catalog has expanded to include not only stamps but paper, punches, art supplies, die cuts, stencils, home decor products and more.

Some 3,000 of their demonstrators gathered at the Salt Palace recently for the national convention. What is so fun, says Elizabeth Gray, public relations spokesman for Stampin' Up!, is "that they come from all walks of life, all ages, all stages of life. Some do it mostly so they can get their own products at a discount, some own their own businesses, and some even support their families."

At the convention, two new product lines were introduced and will be available this fall. The first is digital crafting software called My Digital Studio, which enables crafters to digitally design scrapbooks, cards and calenders as well as create multimedia outputs such as video, says Brent Steele, vice president for creative services at Stampin' Up!

Digital is becoming an increasing part of the scrapbook and crafting world, says Steele. "It's bringing in a whole new group of crafters: computer geeks, husbands and other men, younger crafters."

A second new line is a partnership with Build-A-Bear Workshop that will allow the Utah-based stamping company to create a collection of stamp sets, designer papers and die cuts built around Build-A-Bear Workshop mascot Bearamy and his furry friends. "I know I will be spending hours playing with my grandchildren, making all kinds of Build-A-Bear creations," Gardner says.

Jill Kocherhans demonstrated a few possibilities, including a gift sack, a little canvas bag for crayons, magnetic paper dolls and a framed picture scene. Some of her projects were made from what was left of the others. "Never throw anything away," is her advice.

There's something that everyone can do, says Trina Boyd, also from Edmonton. "I love it when people say, 'Oh, I can't do it; I'm not creative at all.' I sit down with them and pretty soon, they are saying, 'Oh, this is easy. I could do this at home.' "

Cynthia Ritzman, from Ontario, Calif., was in a painting group with some friends, and "one member of the group started stamping. I thought, 'Why do I need another hobby?' But we saw the fun she was having and we all gave in and started stamping. Now that's all we do."

It's like the "Sisterhood of the Traveling Stamp," jokes Trina Lopez. "You never know where you'll go, but you know you'll have fun."

That's the thing that Ritzman loves most. "You get to have a fun, relaxing time together. If you're not friends to start, you will be soon. You will find people to share your life."

It can be "completely addicting," warns Sharon Maxwell, of Marshall, Minn., with a grin. "Maybe we need a Stampers Anonymous." On the other hand, she says, "I love it. It's a great way to spend time with your best friends, doing something you can all enjoy."

The theme does say it all, adds her friend, Carol Jones, Oreana, Ill. "It's so rewarding to see someone's eyes light up because of something they've made. You both feed good. It's inspiring. It's creative. And it's just plain fun."

"Experiment, and you can often find a new use for it."

Stamps can be used on paper, cloth, wood and other materials. Die cuts can be created out of fabric ironed on to fusible web that in turn can be ironed on to other fabrics, or out of magnetic sheets, or cardstock and other things available at any craft store, she says. All it takes is imagination, inspiration and creativity.

That's one thing that Sheila Paul, a demonstrator from Edmonton, Alberta, Canada, loves about it all. "You can incorporate so many different crafts into what you do; they all cross the lines these days."

Her daughter, Heather, "is in it for the photography. I love to do portfolios and wedding albums."

THere are these cool "Sweet Treat Cups" This is my design that I've done for a Swap I'm in tonight at our Monthly Demo Meeting/gathering.

There is several new designer papers one that is a fav of mine the "Night and Day" black and white and really yummy! It will not be just for Halloween although I thought this sheet looked a little spooky. The "Happy Halloween" stamp is from the "all Holiday's" stamp set Thanks for looking and would love your comments!
