Design Challenge #41 - Late Night Stampers

I was just accepted as part of the Late Night Stampers Design Team. Yeah! What fun to try to help inspire others to make fun creations using their Stampin' Up products. Here is the first challenge that I have had time to play along with in a long time. Here is the initial sketch.

 

I wanted to use my new level one hostess set, Patterned Pines. This awesome set is from the Holiday mini catalog.

When I stamped the main image it was too large for a standard 4 1/4" x 5 1/2" card. So, I went with a 5 1/2" x 8 1/2" card

 

Hopefully you can see the very faint vertical lines on the card front. I made those by scoring the cardstock with my scoring blade. It adds a nice effect.

While I was looking at the finished card, I thought it would work very nicely as a mat for a photo or even as a journaling box, due to it's large size. So, I tried one as photo frame.

 

Having this nice element, then inspired me to make a scrapbook page to go with it. On the scrapbook page, I used the large snowflake stamp to make my own background design by randomly stamping all over the cardstock. I stamped each image a few times before reinking.

I hope you enjoyed. Please feel free to leave a comment. Or, contact me directly if you need help in placing an order.

Scrapbook Pages with Pretties Flowers

Here is another 12x12 layout that I made recently in one of my scrapbooking classes.

 

We painted the flowers from the Pretties Kit with our Aquabrush and reinkers.

We used the free Designer Series Paper from Stampin' Up. This paper was available during Sale-a-bration. Stampin' Up has many, many other wonderful Designer Series Papers. If you would like to see samples of our papers, just let me know and I'll be glad to show them to you and help you place an order for your favorites.

Scrapbooking Class

On Monday nights, I offer a scrapbooking class at my house. Each week we make a different 12x12 layout. Here is the layout that we made last night.

We used Stampin' Up's Rockabilly Specialty paper, the Heart to Heart punch, the Full Heart punch, the new Circle Scissor Plus, the trimmer with the scoring blade, the Big Shot with the Texturz plates.

I love the way that the specialty paper looks like ribbon on the three small frames.

If you have any questions about how these pages were made, or you would like to sign up for my Monday night scrapbooking class, please send me an email.

12x12 Scrapbook Pages from convention

At a pre-convention event for the LateNightStamper's Group, we did a beautiful 12x12 double page layout. This page was design and taught by Adrian Mondy. I have completed my pages with pictures and I would like to share them with you today.

12x12 Scrapbook Page

Here is another sample of a 12x12 scrapbook page layout, made with Stampin' Up products.

  

The little embellishment was made with the Locker Talk Cricut cartridge. Did you notice that the entire 12x12 page is a photo? What an awesome way to do a special page in your book. By the way, this picture looks a lot better in real life...it photographed a little funny. 

I printed the photos from ArtsCow.com  It is an awesome place to get your photos developed online. Check it out and they will give you 1200 free prints just for signing up. They have wonderful service.

Christmas Page

I just love the new size of scrapbook that Stampin' Up came out with this year. The size is 8 1/2 x 8 1/2. Here is the first page that I created using this new size.

The page uses Baja Breeze cardstock and the new Holiday Treasures designer series paper. The words are from the "Join in the Cheer" long Sizzix die offered by Stampin' Up! I covered the die cut with Dazzling Diamonds glitter using a Two Way Glue Pen. I hope you enjoy and I hope that it inspires you to try out this new size of album. If you want to order any of these supplies, just click on the "online ordering" link in the upper right hand corner of this screen and then click on the "shop now" button in the upper right hand corner of that screen.

If you would like a kit to make this page, please check out my Paypal store (on the right hand side of my screen.) Or, you can request a finished page (just add photo).

And, that is Kate under the light spot...sorry, I didn't realize it until I was ready to post.
