Dapper Dad May Play Day Project

We used the Boutique Boxes Kit just a bit differently to make a box for Father's Day.  The project would easily adapt to a birthday or retirement project.

 

A side view looks like this:

 



This was a CASE of a project pictured in the Spring Mini Catalog, and also someone posted a project using the two Hershey's bars (I hunted unsuccessfully to find who it was).  Here is my recipe:

Swallowtail March Play Day Project

Hello, friends!  Just wanted to share our fourth project from March Play Day with you today.  It is a CASE of a card I found on Lydia Fiedler's blog, Understand Blue, in her February 1, 2013 post.  She has a detailed video showing how she made the card.

Here is my recipe for the card:

STAMPS:  Swallowtail, Teeny Tiny Wishes

CARDSTOCK:
     Very Vanilla:  5-1/2 x 8-1/2, scored at 4-1/4
     First Edition DSP:  4 x 5-1/4

ACCESSORIES:  Modern Label Punch, Word Window Punch, Paper Piercer, Mat Pack, Very Vanilla Brads, Black Embossing Powder, Heat Gun, Aqua Painter, Gesso (non-SU), Sponge Brush (non-SU).

Basically, we painted the First Edition DSP with Gesso, let it dry, then heat embossed the Swallowtail stamp with black embossing powder and painted it with reinkers.  It was easier than it looks!

January Play Day Projects!

This morning was our January Play Day, and we had a great time creating four projects.  Since next month is Valentine's Day, all of the projects were about Valentine's Day.

PROJECT ONE: 

This card was based on a Mojo Monday Sketch from this past week (#172), and was a CASE of a card by Mary Fish, which can be found at http://www.stampinpretty.com/2011/01/to-mojo-with-love.html.  I fell in LOVE with her card, and made a few changes to make it my own.  I love the new red glitter paper from Stampin Up; it makes "bling" easy!  It is hard to see in the picture, but the silver heart is embossed with silver embossing powder, and it is stacked on a red heart that was cut out with the heart embosslit and has lots of tiny scallops.

Here is my recipe:

STAMPS:  Filled With Love
CARDSTOCK:
     Whisper White 5-1/2 x 8-1/2, score at 4-1/4
     Whisper White 4 x 5-1/4
     Basic Black 1 x 4-1/4
     Red Glimmer Paper 2-1/2 x 2-1/2
     Scraps:  Basic Gray, Whisper White, Red Glimmer Paper
INK:  Versamark, Real Red, Basic Gray
ACCESSORIES:  Basic Black brads, Scalloped Heart of Hearts embosslit die, Big Shot, Heart to Heart Punch, Paper Piercer, Mat Pack, Dimensionals, Silver Embossing Powder, Heat Gun, 2-1/2 Circle Punch

PROJECT TWO:

One of the cards in the 2010-2011 Stampin Up catalog is very similar to this, and from the time I first saw it, I knew I wanted to make it at a Play Day.  I changed it up a bit to make it mine, and like the way it turned out and love the color combo!

My recipe for this card is:

STAMPS:  Sweetheart
CARDSTOCK:
     Crumb Cake 5-1/2 X 8-1/2 scored at 4-1/4
     Baja Breeze 3-1/8 x 5-1/8
     Crumb Cake 3 x 5
     Baja Breeze 1-1/2 x 3
     Scraps:  Real Red and Old Olive
INK:  Old Olive, Basic Black
ACCESSORIES:  Perfect Polka Dot Embossing Folder, Big Shot, Bitty Buttons, Mini Glue Dot, Linen Thread, 1/4 Old Olive grograin ribbon, Dimensionals, Perfect Details Texture Plate, Scallop Border Punch, Heart Punch, Small Heart Punch.

PROJECT THREE:

This card was my own creation; I was thinking of something different for a Valentine's Day card and thought that On A Pedestal would make a great Valentine's Day card!  I LOVE the bright colors and the cupcakes make me hungry.  The picture doesn't show it well, but the cupcakes are popped up on dimensionals, and the "flowers" are punches out with Itty Bitty Shape punches and attached with brads.  Here is my recipe:

STAMPS:  On A Pedestal, Teeny Tiny Wishes, Crazy for Cupcakes (inside sentiment)
CARDSTOCK: 
     Pretty in Pink 5-1/2 x 8-1/2 scored at 4-1/4
     Real Red 5-1/8 x 1-7/8
     Love Patterns DSP 1-3/4 x 5
     Early Espresso 1-1/2 x 1-1/2
     Scraps of Whisper White, Real Red, Pretty in Pink
INK:  Real Red
MARKERS:  Real Red, Early Espresso, Pretty in Pink
ACCESSORIES:  Real Red and Pretty in Pink brads, Itty Bitty Shapes punch pack, 1-3/8 square punch, Paper Piercer, Mat Pack, Real Red 1/8 taffeta ribbon, Dimensionals

PROJECT FOUR: 

We couldn't have Valentine's Day projects without some kind of chocolate, so we made a small holder for some Hershey's chocolate chunks.  We wrapped them in DS paper and attached them with glue dots.

My recipe for this project:

STAMPS:  Filled With Love
CARDSTOCK:
     Pretty in Pink, Real Red, Whisper White, and Love Patterns DS Paper
INK:  Real Red
ACCESSORIES:  Jumbo Pewter Eyelet, Crop-a-dile, Two Tags Die, 1-1/4 Circle Punch, 1-3/8 Circle Punch, Circle Scallop Punch, 1/4 Real Red Grograin Ribbon, Glue Dots

October Play Day Projects!

OK, so it is December, and I am behind!  Here are a couple of our October Play Day Projects:

PROJECT ONE:

I kept looking at the card in the Big Stampin Up catalog illustrating the Bright Blessings wheel, and used that as my inspiration for this card.  Sometimes cards kind of take on a life of their own, which is how I feel this card came about.  I really liked the way the Old Olive rickrack trim (from the Big Shot Tasteful Trim die) made this card "pop"!

Here is my recipe for this card:

STAMPS:  Bright Blessings Jumbo Wheel, Teeny Tiny Wishes, Falling Leaves (inside sentiment)
CARDSTOCK:  Cajun Craze 5-1/2 x 8-1/2 (score at 4-1/4), Very Vanilla 2 x 5-1/4, Soft Suede 2-1/8 x 5-3/8, So Saffron 2-1/4 x 5-7/16; Scraps of Very Vanilla, Soft Suede, Old Olive; Inside:  So Saffron 3-3/4 x 5, Very Vanilla 3-5/8 x 4-7/8
INK:  Crumb Cake, Cajun Craze
ACCESSORIES:  Jumbo Wheel Handle, Word Window Punch, Modern Label Punch, Color Spritzer Tool, Crumb Cake marker, Linen Thread, So Saffron Brads, Paper Piercer, Mat Pack, Dimensionals, Tasteful Trim Die, Big Shot

PROJECT TWO:

This card was inspired by one made by Ilina Crouse on Stampin Connection (Stampin Up demo website), and I used a windowpane technique I found on Mary Brown's (stampercamper) website.  I modified the windowpane technique slightly, and used a post-it note instead of scrap paper.  I used by square punch to punch the post-it note, making sure part of the sticky side was punched out.  Then I put the punched post-it notes where I wanted the windows to be, as you can see in the photo below:

I used a ruler to help make sure my windows were level, and to help with placement. 

After I have my post-it notes in place, I lined up my punch with the post-it notes, punched out my windows, and was ready to make the rest of my card!

Here is my recipe for this card:

STAMPS:  Jolly Bingo Bits, Teeny Tiny Wishes
CARDSTOCK:  Whisper White:  5-1/2 x 8-1/2, scored at 4-1/4; Real Red 3-3/4 x 5, Whisper White 3-5/8 x 4-7/8 and 3-1/2 x 4-3/4
INK:  Basic Black
MARKERS:  Basic Black, Pumpkin Pie
ACCESSORIES:  1-1/4 Square Punch, Dimensionals

Birthday Card and A September Play Day Project, Continued . . .

OK, I pressed the wrong button and got the first part of this post published.  I can't seem to get back to it to add to it, so I will just post a second part!!!  Here is the picture of the double slider birthday card open:

My recipe for the Double Slider Birthday Card is:

STAMPS:  Long Fellows, Teeny Tiny Wishes, Define Your Life, Defining Alphabet

INK:  Baja Breeze, Pear Pizzazz, Basic Black

ACCESSORIES:  Corner Rounder Punch, Crop-a-dile, Jumbo Eyelets, 3/8 Whisper White Taffeta Ribbon, SAMJ, Scallop Rectangle Clearlit, Big Shot, Dimensionals

I thought that the Long Fellows animals were perfect for this card (or "purrfect" as the case may be)!  See my previous post from today for the link to the tutorial for LeeAnn Greff's Double Slider card.

SEPTEMBER PLAY DAY PROJECT:

The last project we made at September Play Day is a card made with LOVELY AS A TREE stamp set:
