CRAFTDOC

This was a popular item at the craft show last week. You can purchase the tins for 99cents in the clearance section of my website, along with all the other supplies www.kwstamps.stampinup.net

Here is an interactive movie that I made with My Digital Studio.  http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BJeXFZVP-Z8
This is just a card. My other 2 files were too large. I’ll have to figure out how to share those.

The final deals of the week are from October 26, 10 AM (MT) through October 31, 11:50 PM (MT).  Contact me or purchase at www.kwstamps.stampinup.net

Each kit includes a clever craft for eight, party favors, cupcake toppers, banners, invitations and envelopes. The only thing you need is adhesive—everything else including ribbon for the banners, elastic cord for the pirate eye patches, even toothpicks, comes included in the kit!  Great for Pirates or Princesses of any age!

The next Deal of the Week will be posted soon!  In the meantime, here are some holiday treat holders that I made last week.

These are made with the pillow box die and designer paper.

These are made with the basket die.  Note the poinsettia made with the 5 petal punch.  It is sprayed with alcohol plus shimmery ink to make it sparkle.

This one is just a 3×3 envelope punched all the way through with the large star punch.  Add your treat in a small cello bag.  I’ll have to try this for Christmas with a peppermint patty and the ornament punch.

The next MOMS scrapbooking day at Grace Church (McKean, PA) is Nov 14.  We have our limit of 45 signed up, but I am starting a waiting list in case of cancellations.  If you are signed up and haven’t paid yet, let me know when your check will arrive.  After Nov 6 any unpaid spots will go to our waiting list.    Thanks!

Here’s an interesting video from Stampin’ Up! on how to use the new Sweet Treat cups.  http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=on57-tvUjmQ

Here is the latest deal.  This week club orders are due, so add on some clips and brads!  All are found on p. 179.  Remember, I need Stamp Class RSVPs by tomorrow (see Oct 12 post).

It’s time to catch up and post some photos that have been sitting on my computer.

Here I used the wide oval punch to make the balloon with the Sweet Centers Stamp Set.

This fall wreath is made with the Autumn Days set (same set as the earlier pheasant reflection card).

Same Autumn Days set.

Continuing the series of Big Shot top note die projects.

Right is another Top Note die project - a cute owl.  Left is an ice cream cone made with the texturz plate and scallop circle punch.

Remember, if you want any of the Big Shot dies on sale, contact me by Sunday or order online at www.kwstamps.stampinup.net

Here is my schedule for October, please RSVP by Oct 20 if you plan to attend a class - only $5 (free for club members).

Wed Oct 21, 1pm

Thurs Oct 22, 6:30pm

I will have a table at the Holiday Showcase at The Regency at South Shore on Sat 24 from 11-3.  Come and see me there.

And Carole will be having a workshop at my house that same day at 4pm.  If you can’t make the other classes, let me know if you would like to attend.

Our next demonstrator meeting is at my house Nov 7 at 1:30pm.  Let me know if you are interested in becoming a demonstrator.  It could be the best Christmas present you ever get!

These are 3 cards that I am considering for the class.  I love the new Christmas Cocoa DSP from the minicatalog.  The red piece is flocked and the snowflake piece has a metallic touch.  The bottom card is made with two stamp sets that I do not have - how did I do it???  With My Digital Studio!  I placed the sentiment on top of the flourish which was lightened using the opacity feature.  Then I copied 12 of them to a page, printed and punched out the circles.  It is fun to use all the stamp images on My Digital Studio.  There are retired sets and even some brand new images in the software.

Big Shot dies!  Yeah! Contact me or purchase at www.kwstamps.stampinup.net

Here are some samples from SCS:

I couldn’t find any samples of Perfect setting, but the curved one is a perfect cupcake cover and the straight one can be used as a napkin ring or border.

Well really, it’s the Ornament Punch along with the Big Shot Leaves diecuts, Woodgrain Background and sentiment from Upsy Daisy.  I just punched out an extra ornament from the Soft Suede DSP and kept inserting it into the scallop edge punch until enough was cut off to make an acorn top.  I also cut off part of the ornament top to make it look more like a stem.  You can do a lot with SU punches  (remember 3 of them are on sale through Oct 11).

Some people have asked for photos of a few of the sets on my retired list.  Here are the sets that match our punches.  Most are $15 (see list below) and some are quite rare.
