Stamp Camp Projects

Oh my gosh, I had been doing so well.  I think I got so caught up in the Stampin' Birthday Party preparations and Stamp Camp prep, that I forgot to post on Friday night.  Then, the party and Stamp Camp on Saturday and time just got away from me.  So...you get all of my stamp camp projects today :-)  Hope you like them...let me know by commenting :-)

First, a cool picture of the sun as we were leaving the river last weekend.  Isn't it pretty.

 
Okay, now the samples from Stamp Camp.  Oh wait!  I need to show you some Baubles first.  Here is one on my zipper pull of my Stampin' Up! jacket.  I love it.

 

And here is one on my friend Jean's purse...LOVE it.  Thanks for the idea Jean.

 
 
Okay, REALLY, here are the Stamp Camp photos

I had the Stamp Camp in my home so I had my camera and took pictures.  Usually, it's not at my house and I never seem to have my camera.

Here's Jo, Elizabeth, Joyce and Tina having a good time stampin'.

 

Here's Beryl, Aleithe, Matt (special guest) and girlfriend Rachael.  It was Matt's first time stamping and he had a blast.  Stampin' is not just for girls!
 

Here's Matt after he has stamped his first card.  He is such a sweetie pie.
 

Aleithe and Linda(Linda will kill me for this picture)
 
And here are the projects that everyone made.  This one is from the FREE SAB set "Punch Bunch."  The white accents are from the Shimmer Paint.  The entire Stamp Camp was either Shimmer Paper, Shimmer Paint, Glitter or some kind of BLING.  woo hoo.  You can't really tell here but the white dots were very pearly and shiny when dry.  We used the Big Shot and the Elegant Bouquet Textured Embossing Folder.

 

This one uses the 'Flower Fancy' stamp set and the Champagne Glitter Glass.  This is a 2-step stampin' set.  It's one of my favorites.  Sentiment is from 'Teeny Tiny Wishes.'  Also used: Large Oval Punch, Scallop Oval Punch.
 

Love this brigh color...Poppy Parade.  This fabulous stamp set is from the Occasions Mini Catalog and it's got a matching punch.  Stamp set is "Build a Blossom" and the punch is "Build a Blossom Punch."  LOVE both of these and the possibilities are endless of what can be done with them.  Oval and Large Oval Punch and Glimmer Brad accessories are also used.  Sentiments is from "Teeny Tiny Wishes."
 

Recognize the flower punch?  It's the Circle Scallop Punch and each petal is cut to the middle of the circle to creat the 3-d look of a real flower.  Cool huh?  This set is the "Bold Blossom" set of 4 from the Occasions Mini catlaog.  The buttons are the Designer Big Buttons 'Sweet Stitches' from the Occasions Mini also.  I sure am going to miss this mini catalog after April.  The sentiment is part of the set of 4.
 

The last project was a 3-d coaster calendar with magnets applied to the back to put on a file cabinet or fridge.  The DSP here is retired (GASP) but everyone last night used the Springtime Vintage DSP from the Occasions Mini catalog and they were beautiful.  I forgot to snap some photos of those.  sorry
 

Hope you enjoyed the post today....it was rather lengthy.  See you tomorrow.

Flower Fancy - I fancy this set

Flower Fancy is one of my favorite stamp sets and yet we do not use it very often.  Why is that? I don't know.  But, I do know that it's on my shelf when I want to use it and that is comforting.  I have a ton of samples with this set and this is one from LC in January.  We'll be making this card on Saturday night, if you're coming to my Stamp Camp.  It uses the FLower Fancy stamp set, Glitter Glass and you'll put your greeting of choice in the oval (left blank here).  This is 2-step stampin', which is great.  You stamp the outline and then step a 2nd time with the 'filler' to complete the look.  Stampin' Up! has so many wonderful 2-step stampin' sets and they are so easy and fast when you want a card in a snap.  Hope you like it.  I think this would make a great Easter card...just brighten up the colors a bit.  The Shimmery White Cardstock makes it extra special.

 

All that Shimmers is not gold

It's red too.  I love our new Shimmer Paper that's in the Occasions mini catalog.  Here is a simple but stunningly cute card that anyone would love to receive.  Quick and easy with a nice BLING factor.  I made this last month in a marathon stamping day.
