I just had to use some of my stamps that were gong to be discontinued for this workshop. It was my last time to share them with my customers. Plus I was looking for a way to use some of my scraps of Yoyo Yellow CS. So I used two strips of Yoyo Yellow and punched it with with Eyelet Border Punch. On top of those strips is layered some 1/4″ Real Red Grosgrain Ribbon. The background of the card was Whisper White CS stamped with the Classic Stripes Background Stamp using Yoyo Yellow ink. On the tag, I used the cupcake from the Darling Dots Hostess stamp set, colored with Yoyo Yellow, Pretty in Pink, Real Red and Chocolate Chip markers. The greeting is from Sincere Salutations stamped in Real Red ink. This piece was then layered onto Real Red CS.
This was the second project for the workshop. We always make a little gift bag from an envelope. On this bag, we used Fifth Avenue Floral. The inks used to stamp the flowers were Bashful Blue, Pixie Pink and Apricot Appeal. The tag was stamped on Whisper White with Black Stazon ink and punched out with the Scallop Oval Punch. This was layered onto a piece of Pixie Pink CS that was punched with the Wide Oval Punch. The top of the bag was punched with the Eyelet Border Punch. Then we used the Double Rectangle Punch to make the holes to close the bag with. The bag was then closed with some 1/4″ Apricot Appeal Grosgrain Ribbon.
As I mentioned before, we do a 6×6 page and then I show them how it can be up-sized to whatever size page they use. This is called Progressive Page. This is the 6×6 page that everyone did at the workshop. This part uses Paper from the Love Stories Simply Scrappin’ Kit. Both Apricot Appeal and Whisper White CS was cut with the Top Note die. Then white one was trimmed along the perforation so that it could be layered on top of the apricot piece. The corners were done using the Swirls Scribbles Sizzlite die. Everyone thought it made the page look elegant.
This is the 8-1/2×11 portion of the page. The Whisper White for the journalling tag was run through the Big Shot twice. Once the Top Note was cut out, I rotated it and ran it through, again. The flowers and leaves are cut out of Real Red, Yoyo Yellow and Garden Green CS with the Stampin’ Up! Birds and Blooms Sizzlit dies. The page background is Gable Green CS.
This was the final step for the page. The background of this page is Bashful Blue Textured CS. The two side borders are from a strip of Real Red that was punched with the Eyelet Border punch. The strip on the right is the left over strip after punching the left strip. The photo backgrounds are Yoyo Yellow CS. Then I decided to add a little more to it by doing some dry embossing, using the Priceless Brass template, between the photo sections. The ladies loved this page. I would love to see what everyone else does with theirs.If you would like to book a workshop with me to do these kinds of projects, you can click
