It's FINALLY HERE! Project Life Everyday Adventure from Stampin' Up!

There's the cute confetti pocket! Obviously had to do it!

 

 

Project Life by Stampin' Up: Everyday Adventure

My Everyday Adventure Project Life Card Collection and Accessory Pack arrived the DAY I went to the catalog premiere. When I arrived home at 1:30 am, don't think I didn't consider jumping right in. I did wait, but it was sheer torture! I'm so excited to show you my first OFFICIAL Project Life by Stampin' Up product line creation!  These pictures scrolled across my Facebook page from our previous, most beloved, dear neighbors and when I saw the confetti on the dog, I knew I had to create a page for them! What fun it was! Some of my favorite details are the coordinating colors (basic black, bermuda bay, crushed curry, pear pizzazz, pumpkin pie, strawberry slush and whisper white) and accessories which just round it off perfectly! I HAD to make a confetti pocket, and let's face it.. I don't have a sewing machine - YET. I figured out a way to make a confetti pocket with a Stampin' Up clear envelope.  I'll you how in a blog post soon.

Stampin' Up supplies used:

ink: Project Life journaling pen

paper: Everyday Adventure Project Life Card Collection

other: clear envelopes (medium size), variety pack 12x12 Project life Photo Pocket Pages

 

Directions: round corners of photos and journaling tags.  Photos are either 4x6 or 2x3. I split the wreath on a door between two boxes, which I love.  Embellish as shown. The names above the precious children are stickers from the Everyday Adventure accessory pack.  Stamp "hip hip hooray and the arrow through the heart on white scraps, then cut out with word bubbles framelits. Stamp date on a card. It's hard to see on the picture, but I ran the gold sequin trim across two sections. My last fun detail is that the arrow from the accessory kit points to the parade they went to.

 

Memory keeping was never this fun and easy!  Give it a try!  I'll be teaching a class on this June 21st in Little Rock, Arkansas OR you can buy my class kit to go if you are not local.

5 Thankful days of Thanksgiving projects from papermadeprettier, project #10

LAST THANKFUL DAY!  If you missed the first 9 projects, click here: 5 Thankful Days Project #1.  I have posted two projects a day for 5 days so I hope you have enjoyed them!

DAY 5:

Project #10

THANKFUL BANNER

 

My fabulous upline Becky Liggin originally designed this banner which I made a tiny bit differently, but it is so beautiful, isn't it???

 

 

Here are some close ups!

 

 Bet you are wondering how I got those leaves on there. Becky had the fabulous idea to run a piece of acetate (overhead projector film, I think) through the BigShot to create a stencil, then I sponged colors onto the banner.

Here is the simply created banner kit used to make this precious banner.

 

FOR MORE BANNERS: VALENTINES, GO HOGS and JOY click here for my bannermania post

Stampin' Up supplies used:
Simply created banner kit
Thankful tablescape simply created kit (black chalkboard pieces)
paper: sweater weather designer series paper, tangerine tango, old olive, crushed curry, chocolate chip 8 1/2" x 11" cardstock, champagne glitter paper
Big Shot: autumn accents bigz die
ink: tangerine tango, always artichoke, chocolate chip, early espresso, sahara sand, crushed curry reinkers, chocolate chip classic stamp pad
other: sponge daubers, white stampin' chalk marker, stampin sponge

Details:
Use letter stencils to stencil "thankful" on  banners in early espresso ink. Squirt a little ink onto plastic lid or whatever you can find :).  (TIP: do not tap or dab, but use a little bit of ink at first and drag and rub the ink onto the banner. I had way more luck with this technique than using the sprayers).  Remember, you can always add, but you can not take away.  Sponge chevron, polka dot, strips and leaves on banners in same back and forth motion.  Let dry. Cut leaves out with autumn accents bigz die.  Cut acorns with champagne glimmer paper and autumn accents bigz die. Sponge edges of acorns with chocolate chip ink.  Write names on black chalkboard pieces with white chalk marker.  Cut strips of sweater weather and layer onto strips a little bit wider for pieces in between pennants, cut "v" in strips. For the strips between the banner pieces, make the strips a little longer and fold them over themselves on the back and tape leaving room for the jute to thread through.  Tie linen thread around acorns.  Layer leaves, acorns and black chalkboard pieces with glue dots. Thread jute twine through the pennants, starting from the front and going through the back on each pennant/paper strips.

On front cover, layer a piece of birch paper.  Cut 1 strips of designer paper and cut the edge off of one of the "list" pieces with crushed curry diagonal stripes and cut an inverted "v" edge and layer the designer series papers strips.  Fold chocolate chip herringbone paper strip over on itself multiple times using glue dots on the inside to secure until it reaches from one side to the other, affix to front with glue dots.  Tie 3 pieces of linen thread around the journal in a bow.  Glue dot a naturals designer button on the knot of the bow.  Cut whisper white card stock using bitty banners thinlit die, stamp "thankful for" in chocolate chip ink.

Project #5

Paper Pumpkin

 

This paper pumpkin was originally designed by Julie Davison, another very talented demonstrator. It is just so clever!  AND simple to make!

 

Stampin' Up supplies used:

paper: 8 1/2"x11" old olive card stock, sweater weather designer series paper. 
Big Shot: autumn accents bigz die
embellishments: glimmer brads (brights collection), linen thread, candy dot brad base
tools: paper piercing tool
adhesives: glue dots

Details:
Cut Designer paper into 10 strips 6"x1". Stack papers together, punch a small hole centered about 1/4" in from the end through them all (I use a large tool called a cropadile for that - not Stampin' Up). Stick brad through the end of one hole, colored glittery part facing up. Then fan out the pieces, bring them down to meet at the bottom and fasten from the bottom with the other brad. Cut olive colored leaves with Big Shot and autumn accents bigz die. Crumple and un-crumple the olive colored leaves.  Attach the leaves with glue dots and then tie the linen thread to the leaves. See? Simple!

Create treat box using tutorial video instructions provided above.  Use big shot circles thinlit die to cut circle in the middle of the square part (you will need to make sure to cut only one side of your box, not the flaps - just face the flaps up and not towards cutting edge of thinlit, imagine the thinlit is inside the box).  Thread linen thread through button and tie bow. Adhere to leaf and then to box with glue dots.  I used a little cello bag and put M&M's from Target which were fall colored, then sticky strip taped the box shut.

DAY 1:

Project #2

Truly Grateful Card:

This SIMPLE card I copied straight out of the Stampin' Up holiday catalog. In fact, it's why I bought this set called Truly Grateful.

 

Stampin' Up supplies used:

paper: 8 1/2" x 11"  whisper white, soft sky card stock, sweather weather designer series paper.

stamp set: Truly Grateful, Gorgeous Grunge

ink: crushed curry, pumpkin pie, basic black, early espresso

accessories: (Big Shot: envelope liner framelits), owl punch (for little heart!)

embellishments: witches brew designer washi tape

other: Stampin Up' medium whisper white envelope, glue dots, snail adhesive

 

Project Details:

THIS IS A VERY SIMPLE CARD!!!  Cut whisper white card stock at 5 1/2" x 4 1/4", fold in half for base.  Stamp background x2 with crushed curry ink (stacking one over the other).  Stamp wheat bunch in early espresso, stamp slotchy splatters with pumpkin pie (Gorgeous Grunge stamp set).  Tear and adhere washi tape across card. Stamp "truly grateful" with basic black ink. (careful to le tthis dry before touching it. Our basic black is a permanent ink, other classic ink pads would just rub off the washi tape, but the basic black ink will dry permanent. Cut a tiny strip of soft sky and adhere with snail adhesive. Punch a tiny heart of soft sky paper with owl punch and either glue dot or snail adhesive it to the card.

Cut envelope liner on Big Shot using the envelope liner die. You are done! EASY!

5 Thankful Days of Thanksgiving projects from papermadeprettier: Project #1

Welcome to my series of ten precious Stampin' Up Thanksgiving projects over 5 days to wow amaze you!  My name is Kay Cogbill, I am a Stampin' Up demonstrator and I am here to wow you with my Thanksgiving eye candy. Don't you find that Thanksgiving decor is often snuggled on the endcap of the aisle between the Halloween candy and Christmas goodies?  Thanksgiving is about being with those that we love an being thankful for them. What better way to show them you care than a handmade card or gift? These projects are EASY TO MAKE and FABULOUS and are all available through my online store.  I found most of these projects on Pinterest and sometimes tweaked them with a little papermadeprettier sparkle and dazzle. I will post two projects a day for 5 days so that when you love them and want to make them, you will have plenty of time to make yours before the turkey comes to town!

DAY 1

Pumpkin Treat Box:

This beauty was inspired by Debbie Henderson, who indicated on her blog that it was inspired by others on Stampin' Connection. Either way, it's fabulous!!! I added a little sparkle with the champagne glitter paper paper, LOVE!

Stampin' Up supplies used both from annual and holiday catalogs:

paper: 8 1/2 x 11 pumpkin pie card stock, champagne glimmer paper.

ink: early espresso.

Big Shot: circles collection thinlits, autumn accents bigz die, chevron embossing folder. embellishments: burlap ribbon, gumball green 3/8 " stitched satin ribbon, early espresso button (neutrals collection), linen thread.

adhesives: sticky strip adhesive, glue dots

other: stampin' sponge

Project details:

Use circles thinlit to cut the large scalloped circle. Run these each through the bigshot in the chevron embossing folder.  Trim off the edge of both.  The box inside is made with a piece of pumpkin pie card stock cut at 5" x 5 1/2". Score long edge 1 inch in from edge on both sides. Score short side 2 inches in on either side.

Fold into a rectangular box and affix with double stick tape or sticky strip.  Use glue dots to affix gumball green ribbon to burlap ribbon and glue these to the inside of the pumpkin with sticky strip.  Cut champagne glittered leaves with autumn accents die. I sponged the edges of the glittery leaves with chocolate chip ink, just needed softening, I though. Thread linen thread through the early espresso button, adhere to the leaves with glue dots and adhere leaves with glue dots to the front of the pumpkin. PRECIOUS, RIGHT???
