Hey Stampers!

I decided to take June, July & August off from blogging.  It’s to hard having my twins (boys 13 years old) home for the summer.  We sold our business last month so I also have my husband home.  I feel like I don’t what to do with myself during the day with all of them home.  I’m out of my routine.  I will be back in the swing of thing after convention.

Hey Stampers!

I’ve been thinking about Stampin Up! convention, I need to get started on my swaps and 3-D project.  So today I started on some 3-D project.  I made these holder to hold the packets for your water bottles.  They are really easy to make.  The measurement for the base is a piece of card stock 2″ X 7 1/2″, score at 2″ turn the cart stock around and score the other side also at 2″.

Hey Stampers!

Isn’t this a really cool card to make.  This is one of the project we made at my Big Shot Dies Class.   All you do is take your Ink Pad and rub it all over your Texturz Plate, then place your Glossy White Card Stock on top of the plate (TIP:  you will want to put a scrap piece of paper over your Glossy card stock that’s the same size of your Texturz Plate, this way you won’t get any ink on your Big Shot) then just run it through like you would normally use the Texturz Plate.  This will take a few minutes to dry because you’re using Glossy card stock.  I had found this idea from stampingschool.com.

Hey Stampers!

Just using up some of the DSP before it retires.  I made these boxes with the Big Shot Box #2 Die from Stampin Up!  DSP is Good Morning Sunshine.  These boxes are great for candy.

Hey Stampers!

How cute is this!  The other day my sister in-law (Julia Bettencourt)  had this really cute box/tote made from the Big Shot Box #2 Die from Stampin Up! on her blog. 

Every year for the 4th of July we go over to some friends house for a party and fireworks.  I wanted to take a little gift with me so I made one of the  box/tote to hold some candy. Since the in colors will be retiring soon I need to use them up.  The boxes are made out of Pacific Point and the stars are made with Riding Hood Red.
