Sunshine Garden - Scrapbook In a Day(Page 1)

I really love this page and the particular designer series paper used (a 6x6 square of the one of the 12x12 sheets that come in the kit).

NOTE: The "hi" are two stickers that come with the kit and I had adhered them to the outside of the protective sleeve/cover!

The actual page consists of the following items from Sunshine Garden Simply Scrappin' Kit as well as other Stampin' Up! product to accent the page and kit:

1. 6x6 piece of designer series paper.
2. 3x3-1/2 piece of textured yellow paper, adhered to page using SNAIL adhesive.
3. A sticker in the upper-right corner ("happy").
4. Pierce one of the yellow flower stickers with the 1/16" Circle Handheld Punch. Then place a light blue rhinestone brad (Ice Collection, Circle), and a Filigree designer brad.
5. Adhere the completed flower to the page using Stampin' Dimensionals.
   

More pages to come soon!

Sunshine Garden - Scrapbook In a Day

This post will serve as the main page for this project. I will continuously update it will all the links to each post as I detail each page of the project.

We started with a 6x6 linen album (in Natural, shown above). I also used rub-ons from the retired Love & Happiness rub-on set, as well as a large silk flower from the Pretties Kit, a piece of a light blue sticker from the Simply Scrappin' Kit, as well as a Clear Rhinestone Brad. Lastly, the large flower was adhered to the linen album using a Pop-Up Glue Dot.

During the class we made TWENTY 6x6 pages using the Sunshine Garden Simply Scrappin' Kit.

Have fun Scrappin'

Father's Day Samples

Before Father's Day comes and goes, I wanted to share a few samples that I've created. Unfortunately they all use some of my favorite "retired" stamp sets and cardstock, but I thought you'd enjoy them anyway. My father's a fisherman so I really think he's going to love this first card! My upline shared the idea with me.

Here are some other masculine projects that you may also like!

Thank You x 2 (A Little Embellished)

I had purchased the Thank You x 2 card kit from Stampin' Up! to be able to make cute, fast, easy, but pretty Thank You cards. I like this kit so much that I think I need to order more! The kit comes with the pre-scored, pre-scalloped cards, an Old Olive stamping spot, the stamp set, Old Olive grosgrain ribbon, and Old Olive envelopes.

The card fronts are already done! Yes, the cirlces, the embossed dots, and swirls are already there (Chocolate Chip)! How cool is that!

What I added and did a little differently to add a little something more....

Vertical Layout

1. In one sample, I added a 1-1/2 inch x 5 inch piece of Kraft patterned paper from the Parisian Breeze designer series paper (DSP) pack. I made the card in a vertical layout, used the retired 1/8" Circle Handheld Punch to punch wholes in all the scallops, and then added the strip of DSP to the right side of the inside of the card.
2. Stamped the little dots in Old Olive and the small flower in Old Olive in desired areas of the card front.
3. Stamped greeting in the upper left corner.

Horizontal, Landscape Layout

1. On the other, horizontal layout sample, I added a 3/4 inch x 5 inch strip to the inside of the card right above where I stamped the greeting.
2. Only stamped the greeting in the bottom, right, and then the small green flowers every other scallop.
   

I'd love to see your creations! Buy this set!
