Ustamp with Dawn and friends Heating Up the Holidays

Hey everyone!! I've been so busy getting ready for the latest Ustamp with Dawn and Friends that I haven't been online much. Here are my first 2 projects using product from the Holiday Catalog from Stampin ' Up. Click the blinkie on my sidebar to join for great projects with step by step tutorials. Hope to see you there!

Treat Bags

If you are a Stampin' Up demo, then you get the magazine Stampin' Success. In the current issue, there were treat bags made with a regular lunch sack. A few cuts and some glue, and you have a fun little bag. I decorated mine using the ovals framelits and the Oh Hello stamp set and the hostess set Postage Collection. I made the flower with the Fancy Flower punch and baroque embossing folder. I added a doily cut in half, some ribbon, and a banner to finish. I had to use a glue gun to attach the flower. Now I just have to decide what to put in it.....

Dress Up Framelits

I haven't used these framelits as much as I would like. I did make this card with my stamp club last month and really love how it turned out. The DSP and the button are retired , but this card could be made with so many different options of ribbon, jewels, DSP, and buttons. My favorite thing about this card is that when you stamp on the Natural Composition specialty paper, it is embossed so it resists some of the color. A little wipe with a tissue and it leaves a very cool image.

 

I did make this card in another color too. I just couldn't help myself!

 

 

Pop n Cuts Bathing Suit Card

Had this idea for a while and it sat on my desk half glued together for a while. Still haven't finished outside but will get to it. When I saw the sleeveless dress framelit, it reminded me of a bathing suit. A little snip here and there and voila'! I made the beach blanket with the chevron embossing folder. Ran 1 piece of each color through big shot and trimmed the chevrons out of the calypso coral piece. Used some punched for sun, hat, and clouds. Hope you enjoy it!
