Club SUM Workshop 6 September 2011: Launch of New Catalogue

At our Stampin' Up! workshop on Tuesday night, we launched the new Idea Book and Catalogue and to celebrate I got the girls to make some paper shoes. I had made one shoe and their project was complete the other shoe, so that they had a pair. I used the shoes as a treat holder, so that each of my girls had a bag of chockies to take home as well as a pair of paper shoes.The shoes were made using Flirtatious Designer Series Paper, grosgrain ribbon and brads. Please see my earlier post for the shoe template. It was a challenge putting the shoes together, but in the end I think the girls were happy with their shoes.

Here is a photo of the girls with their finished creations.

 

Vintage Card

My niece needed a birthday card for a friend. Having looked through my stash of cards she couldn't find one that was appropriate, so I came up with this vintage looking card.

I used the Clearly for You Stamp Set
Vintage Wallpaper Textured Impressions Embossing Folder
Lots of Tags Sizzlits Die Set
Jewellery Tag punch
Teeny Tiny Sentiments Stamp Set
Antique Brads
Linen Thread
Certainly Celery Taffeta Ribbon
Pearl Basic Jewels
Very Vanilla Cardstock

Rich Razzleberry Cardstock
Designer Series Paper (Retired)
Sanded Background Stamp  (Retired)
Rustic Rooster Stamp Set (Retired)

Stylish Paper Shoes

I saw these paper shoes and just had to make a pair...or two or three..I just love shoes..either real or paper, and thank you Ellen for sharing. The template is courtesy of Ellen Hutson and can be found on her website.

These shoes would make great holders for party favours for bridal showers, girly parties or just to give as a gift.

I used Sunny Garden Designer Series Paper from Stampin' Up! and assorted ribbon and brads to trim.

Mini Scrapbook Album

When one of my friends recently got married, I made them a mini scrapbook album of photos that were taken on an engagement photo shoot, which I was privileged to be a part of. Using cardstock and designer series paper from Stampin' Up!, I decorated a mini album made from envelopes. This would be my third album of this type that I have made as a gift. I just love the pull outs and I can make as many pages to fit how many photos I have, although it can get pretty chunky when there are too many photos...I need to learn to cull.
