April Hostess Projects

Plane & Simple

We used a distressing technique to create the background paper by stamping with our clear block!

A cute bunny box using the Petal Cone die (altered just a bit) and punches!

Create a Cupcake and Build a Cupcake punch card using the Faux Stitching technique.

We used the BAM technique with Daffodil Delight and More Mustard! Two colors you would probably never use together otherwise! Ha! This card featured the Build a Blossom set and the Blossom Petals Punch!

Almost all of these items can be found in the Occasions Mini which expires 4/30!

You can order your supplies online at http://www.andreamason.stampinup.net/ or email me!

Bouncing Brayer Rocks!

Here's a technique we did at our Hostess club! We used a brayer, not quite navy classic ink, and glossy card stock. You ink your brayer and "bounce" or stroke the brayer while turning the card stock to create this cool star effect! Then we stamped the focal image using Stazon ink.

Quite fun!

Love Birds!

I am so in love with this scrapbook! Doris Denman created one and posted it on our demonstrator website. I seriously couldn't get the Love Birds Simply Scrappin' kit ordered fast enough! Come to find out... I didn't have all of the same Big Shot dies that she did to create the whole scrapbook... but that did not stop me! I just went with it! Some of the pages are CASE (copy and steal everything), while others are my own. I am so in love with this (did I already mention that?)!  Anyway... there are 14 pages and 2 of those are fold out pages - so really, there are 16 pages in this album. And, it only used up 1/2 of a Simply Scrappin' kit!! Woo hoo!! The best part?! It is in a clear mount stamp case!! Small enough to throw in your purse, big enough to show off your photos! Did I mention that it took less than 2 hours to cut and asseble everything? I love it!!

I'll be hosting a class so you can complete your own scrapbook! Watch for more details soon!! Almost everything will be cut and ready to go - so a whole scrapbook in less than 2 hours?! Be still my heart!

Happy birthday!

I made a resolution to keep a stack of birthday cards on hand this year! So what better way to accomplish that goal than to host a Stamp A Stack featuring birthday cards! The new Occasions Mini had a little to do with that resolution because I LOVE the cupcake punch!!

Here are a few of the cards that we will be making on Saturday, January 15th from 9-12. If you'd like to join us, please reserve your spot by January 11th and let me know how many cards you'd like to make! They are $2.00 each with a 5 card minimum.

I LOVE comments too!

 Please excuse the M&Ms... my gumballs have been stolen! :) I will have replaced them before the class!

The Countdown is on!

I made these countdown blocks for the craft fair. They were a hit! So much so that I had orders for more! You can find a tutorial here if you want to tackle this craft. Mine are a little different - but I love them the same! Hubby cut and sanded the wood for me. Then I painted, mod podged, and put vinyl on the blocks. I used the black Stampin' Up! vinyl in my Cricut to create the numbers and words. A perfect gift for teachers, friends, co-workers... or in your own home to help little ones countdown to their big day. I used birthday countdown, days until Christmas, days until vacation, days until Daddy comes home, and a regular countdown on mine.  

This little light of mine...

I love this candle!

I used my Stampin' Up! black vinyl to cut the nativity on my Cricut. Used Transfer Tape to apply it to the glass, and a bow and presto!! Done! Sweet!!

Snowman Soup!

To keep up with tradition... I made my son's music teacher gifts at the last minute - literally!

These snowman soup cups are super easy and quick to do, and who doesn't love that?!

I found these cups at T@rget (10 for $2.49). I added a package of cocoa with the marshmallows. You can add the marshmallows in a baggie if you'd like - but I don't care for touching other people's food. A candy cake for stirring. And a few kisses. The Whisper White tag has the snowman soup poem printed on it. Easy! Sweet! Fun! Go get some!

When the weather outside is frightful,

Snowman Soup can be delightful.

May it warm your spirit and your soul.

Let it snow, let it snow, let it snow!

When you feel a chill or are saying "brrrr,"

Use the candy cane stick to stir.

Add hot water and sip it slow.

Let it snow, let it snow, let it snow!

My favorite so far!!

I'm still on my simple is good trip! I love, love, love how beautiful this card is!

I used the brushed silver card stock and Whisper White card stock here. The image is from the Gifts of Christmas set that I embossed in Silver, and added a few rhinestones to give it a little more sparkle! 

Heard from the heart.

I love how this simple card turned out! Quick and easy! That's my style these days.

This card uses the sentiment from Heard from the Heart, and the ornament is from the Tags Til Christmas set that is in the Holiday Mini. Cute!

It never gets old!

Old Olive that is! I love Old Olive!!

This card features the Snow Swirled set, the Petals a Plenty embossing folder and a few of our pretty pearls!

Big on Christmas!

Here is a quick card using the Big on Christmas set, and a strip of the Candy Cane DSP that is no longer available because it was soooo fabulous!

Rock Star!

This is a card that we made at our last Hostess Club! It was so much fun teaching the "kiss" technique! I CASED this card from Mik Inks We used the Extreme Guitar stamp stamped in Not Quite Navy. Then stamped a circle stamp from Circle Circus in Basic Black. We put the Circle Circus stamp right onto the Extreme Guitar and gave the circle stamp a little twist. We kept twisting until we were satisfied with the coverage. The coolest thing about his technique is that everyone's was different!

We layered the Whisper White cardstock onto a piece of Basic Black. The striped paper is from the Regals Patterns Designer Series Paper Pack. The birthday paper was created in Word and printed on Whisper White cardstock. So fun! Give the technique a try!

Craft fair part 2!

I had a great time at the MOPS craft fair on Saturday. I think I made too much stuff because even though I sold a TON of items - I came home with a lot too! Lucky for you... I'm having a Craft Fair Part 2 this Saturday at my house! Here are a few of the items that I had at the original fair, and will possibly have at the second one! There's too much stuff to post, so be sure to stop by if you are local!

I {heart} Purses!

And these gift card purses are no exception! I bought the Tres Chic pattern from Becky Roberts here. I used up a lot of my retired Stampin' Up! cardstock - but love that you can use any cardstock that you want!

Some of these will be available at my Craft Fair part 2 on Saturday, November 20th!

Craft fair!

Hey there cupcake!

I made baby washcloth cupcakes! Fat free, ha ha! Each cupcake uses 2 washcloths. I found the cupcake boxes at the craft store. I stamped the baby stroller using the Fun & Fast Notes set, colored it in with my Pretty in Pink marker, covered the stroller with Crystal Effects and added some Dazzling Diamonds! They are so cute sitting on my table! My hubby thought they were real cupcakes! :)

Christiani-tea

I fell in love with these Christiani-teas when I saw them here on Janet Wakeland's Remarkable Creations site. You can find the download of devotionals under her Freebies tab.

I used the Big Shot to cut the Fancy Favor box to hold all the tea in. I used the Elegant Soiree Designer Series Paper to decorate the front of the box. I used some new Basic Pearls on a few of the boxes too. I used the Designer Lable punch for the front of the box with some Vanilla Hodgepodge Hardware. For the tea bag holders I used coordinating cardstock colors Crumb Cake, Marina Mist (it should be Baja Breeze but I didn't have any), Soft Suede, and Very Vanilla. I used the Scallop Trim Border punch on each holder too.  I used the Wide Oval punch for the devotion and embellished with a flower that was punched from the Boho Blossom punch. A brad holds it all together so that the holder can be used as a bookmark after they've enjoyed their tea.
