UdderlyAwesome Stamping From The Heart

More Stamped Gifts from last Saturday's Meeting

Bev and Yolie are two more demonstrators who made 10 gifts each for last Saturday's meeting.

Nice ideas and great work, ladies!

Bev Adams bought these 12" ceramic (non shiny) tiles at Home Depot. 

She stamped with StazOn and allowed it to dry.  Then she carefully colored in the images with our Stampin' Blend Markers.

She sprayed the stamped tile with a light coat of Rust Oleum and let it dry and then sprayed a second coat onto the tile.

The backing is cut from cork contact paper.

Here are the two corners up close.

  

Yolie Martinez made these very pretty Christmas mugs.  (Could easily be made for any theme)

Yolie got her idea from Linda Parker's You Tube Video.  Click here for the tutorial.

Since Yolie had taught me how to make the mugs, I wanted to give all of hers away at the meeting.  Hers had a cute cello bag with treats inside each mug and an layers oval with Merry Christmas glued to the front of each mug!

Thank you for stopping by.

Stamped Gifts for the 9-22-18 UdderlyAwesome Meeting

Each time we have a meeting, I ask three demonstrators to make ten gifts each. 

We give these away to guests and to all of the demonstrators who help with with the meeting.

Thank you, ladies, for these amazing gifts!!!!

Chery LeFore made this beautiful little gift that holds two gift cards.  I'm including several pictures.

Cheryl used the Dashing Deer Bundle and the Nothing Sweeter Bundles along with the Festive Farmhouse Designer Series Paper.  The 5/8" Striped Burlap Trim is on page 13 on of the Holiday Catalog.

And when you open it up, you see this:

I'm leaving this big so you can see it really well.

This is 11"x 3 1/2", scored at 5" and 6".

The finished size of the little pockets is 3 1/4"x 2 1/4" with 1/4" sides.

Here is the 3"x 3" gift card.

The greeting on the closure clip is from Bring on the Presents.

Thank you for stopping by. 

Please e-mail me if you have any questions or feedback.

Tea Caddie Box with an Instruction Attachment

The third demonstrator who made ten gifts for last Saturday's meeting is Judy Westcott.

Click Here for the document with instructions for how to make this super cute Tea Caddie gift box.

Judy used Old Olive card stock and the new Share What You Love Designer Series Paper.

Thank you for stopping by.

Mini Treat Bag expanded

I needed a way to gift wrap one of my calendar gifts to put into the mail so

I widened the Mini Treat Bag!

Here is what it ended up looking like.

The tag on the front covers up the overlap so that no one even notices.

The tag was one of many tags that Cindy Crump made and gave all of her Stamp Club members for Christmas!  Thank you, Cindy!

Cut out two of the larger parts to the Mini Treat Bag and one of the smaller pieces.  Cut off the flap to the smaller piece.  It is really important to fold the folds precisely.

Overlap the two large pieces so that they create the size that you need. Fasten them together with Sticky Strip.

Now just add the smaller flap onto either the left or the right side again.  I think you will figure out what all you need to Sticky strip.  I folded the flaps up and  over after I had fastened the sides together.

Run it through an embossing folder.  The very bottom flaps are too thick to go through the Big Shot, but you are still fine.

The Embossing Folder takes away the "put together" look.

Expanding this is a bit of busy work and I wouldn't do it unless I really needed it.

I really needed it!

Please e-mail me if you have any questions.

Thank you for stopping by!

 

 

Chocolate Tin

What a Unique way to present a gift of chocolate ! 

This tin, designed by Sandy Hoefakker, is very simple to make and uses no stamp sets or ink.  The tins can be purchased at www.specialtybottle.com.

Supplies used to decorate this tin are:

Scallop from the Big Shot Pennant Die, 1 3/8" Circle Punch,

1 1/4" Circle Scallop Punch, Stampin' Up!'s Holiday Treasures Designer Papers, and chocolate nuggets- each individually covered.

What about making one of these for Valentine's, too!  This idea will be apart of my  Big Shot Class scheduled for February 9, 2009. 

Check out my Calendar for other classes to be held here in my craft room here in Duarte CA.

Coaster Calendars

Each year I get some little calendars to add to projects.  This one uses a coaster from the OutBack Steakhouse.

I added a layer of Bordering Blue c/s, then a layer of Not Quite Navy Designer Paper from the hostess Print Pack.  I found another use for the Real Red Scallops that I have been getting from using the Pennant Die Cut.  And of course, the Styled Silver Hodgepodge Hardware add a really nice touch for interest.

For the back:

I added a layer of Not Quite Navy the exact size of the coaster.  You could also add a magnet on the back and it would be great for a refrigerator!

If you are interested, I have order 100 of the Vippies Calendars which measure 1 3/4"x 1 1/2" and will glad to share some of them with you.  They are 5 for $1 but I'll need to add tax and shipping after they arrive. 

E-mail me if you are interested in getting some for a project that you would like to make.
If you need a large quantity, go to www.vippies.com

CD Folders make great gifts!

 What a great way to present a CD of photos to a family member. Photographers can use these to deliver their work to a client. A CD folder with pics of a special birthday party or vacation would be so much fun to give and receive. 

Meet our newest grandson, Jeremy David Garcia!
The CD folder itself is a little creamy so I added Whisper White card stock to both the front and inside  panels.  When you use the scallop Edge Punch it takes 1/4" off of the size of the card stock that you are scalloping.  For this CD I started with a 5 3/8" sq. piece of Bashful blue.
I used the  Scallop Circle #2 Bigz Die for the blue scallop and the white circle is cut with the Coluzzle Cutter.  Use the 1 1/4" Circle Punch to create the neck of the bib. The white c/s for the Polka Dot Bkgd stamp is 4 1/4" sq.  Then on the inside, here is what I did:

I cut a scallop out of computer paper as my mask and sponged around it.  Then I printed out the words onto Whisper White c/s and cut it with the #2 scallop Bigz Die. Ribbon along the edge on the right makes it softer. 
This c/d folder is ready for a CD or some pictures!
Look for the CD folders through www.uline.com 

How about creatiing a wedding CD
This is my niece and her husband.
I couldn't get the light quite right on this photo but you get the idea.

Or How about creating a Christmas Album each year as a family keepsake?



The snowflake has Dazzling Diamonds glitter on it and a Circle Ice Brad in the center.
the took the negative part of the snowflake and used it to sponge through it to create the inside panel.
