Simply Scrappin' Workshop April 18th



I am hosting a Simply Scrappin' Workshop at my home on Friday April 18th.

What: Complete a 19 page 6x6 Scrapbook in ONE evening, using one of the 10 Simply Scrappin' Kits available on pages 172-175 of the Spring/Summer Catalog.

Cost: I am not charging a fee for this event- the only cost to you is the cost of the kit, which is $23.80 (includes tax and shipping). You will need to bring adhesive and scissors.

(catalog can be viewed online at www.stampinup.com)

Order your "Simply Scrappin'" Kit by April 7th and I will have it available for you on the evening of the 18th.

To order email me at: stamps2stamp@comcast.net

I will provide Snacks, a prize drawing and the directions to complete 19 6x6 pages using your kit.

Space is limited.

If you are interested in the kit, but not the event and you live out of the area, I can ship you your kit along with the directions to complete the 19 pages.

Who's Your Paddy?


At my monthly demonstrator meeting this month I learned how to make these cute St. Patrick Day guy's using punches. The original used the large tag punch for the hat and the little circle punch for eyes with a white gel pen, in my version I used the Round tab punch for the hat and googly eyes (non stampin' Up!).

I made these for an upcoming workshop to give out as a little gift to all the guests- I used a Stampin' Dimensional to stick each one to a peppermint patty candy.

To make:

Background- scallop punch w/pumpkin pie or really rust paper
Face- 1 3/8 circle punch w/ Blush blossom paper
Nose-1/2" circle punch w/blush blossom paper- Use Stampin' Dimensionals to raise
Draw mouth with Basic Black Stampin' Write Pen
For Cheeks use pencil eraser and ink with Blush Blossom ink
Hat- Round tab punch folded and adhered with SNAIL adhesive
Rim- Word Window punch
The "buckle" on the hat is punched with the 1/2" square in yo yo yellow

Stampin' Blog

Since I have been an Stampin' Up! Independent demonstrator for just about a year now I decided that I should have a blog to showcase my projects, offer specials, and just have a general place to "chat" about my business. I will try to upload a few pictures later tonight.
