Scrappin’ Day Getaway

Stampin' Studio Scrappin' Day Getaway

On Saturday, I had my first Scrappin’ Day Getaway.  I bet you’re asking yourself, “What is Scrappin’ Day Getaway?” Well, sometimes we get so caught up in our busy lives that we don’t take the time to sit down and work on all the projects that we would like to.  So this was a full day (12 hours) set aside where everyone got to work on their own stuff and get tons of scrapbooking and stamping stuff done.  Included in the registration fee was a Scrapbook Class in a Box.

I also spoiled the attendees with prizes and treats.  Besides all of the things they accomplished at the event, everyone went home with this stash of goodies.

I made some of my candy coated Oreo’s and slipped thim inside this sweet little gold polka-dotted clear box from the Perfectly Wrapped Project Kit.

Throughout the day I showered everyone with little gifts.  In this bag (also from the Perfectly Wrapped Project Kit) was a Project Life Accessory Pack.

This cute “take out” box held a few spools of ribbon.

Here’s the Scrapbook Class in a Box:  This was filled with all the supplies needed to create twelve 12″ x 12″ scrapbook pages. I will start sharing those pages with you tomorrow so be sure to stop back then.

Sneak Peek: Color Theory Suite

Stampin' Up! Color Theory Suite, Stampin' Studio

Today I am sharing an amazing suite of products that will debut in the 2017-2018 Annual Catalog on June 1st.  It’s called the Color Theory Suite and it consists of the Colorful Seasons stamp set, Seasonal Layers Thinlits Dies, Color Theory Designer Series Paper Pack, Glitter Enamel Dots, 3 rolls of Mini Chevron Ribbon and a set of Color Theory Memories & More Card Pack.  Look at the first card…do you see the shades of our new In Color, Berry Burst?  Those variegated shades of Berry Burst is actually one piece of the Color Theory Designer Paper.  It’s designed to look like paint chip samples!  This card and the one below also feature the Glitter Enamel Dots, oh so pretty.

Isn’t the delicate leaf diecut beautiful?  That’s the handwork of the Seasonal Layers Thinlits.  This card and the one below both feature another sheet of the Color Theory Designer Paper with the Old Olive Crackle print.

Here you can see some of the Crushed Curry Mini Chevron Ribbon from the suite, it’s scrumptious!

What?  Do you see the die cut chair?  Yup, it’s from the Seasonal Layers Thinlits from the suite.  I can see myself using this alot!

This final card is one we made at On Stage back in April.  This uses the stamp set and ribbon from the suite and it also uses one of the cards from the Color Theory Memories & More Card Pack.  These are pre printed card fronts that come with embellishments.  These are great for card making and memory keeping.

So as you’re drooling over all of the great things in the upcoming catalog, be sure to finish getting things off your list from the items on the retiring product list.  You can review the list here.

Today I wanted to show you how you can add texture and subtle interest to a card without the usual embossing folder.  Take a close look at the edges of the Soft Sky cardstock; I scored 1/4″ around all four sides to add some interest and “frame” the focal point.  I used the retiring punch called Petite Petals and added some of the Melon Mambo Enamel Shapes to the center of each flower.  The stems are simply very narrow snips of Garden Green cardstock.  I added a band of the Tip Top Taupe Mini Striped Ribbon around the card and added the banner which uses the Banners For You stamp set and the Bunch of Banners Framelits.

Let’s Take a Closer Look

Here you can see on the right side the raised scored mark which continues around the perimeter of the card.  I used the Simply Scored Scoring Tool at the 1/4″ mark.  The flowers and the banner are popped up off the card with Stampin’ Dimensionals.  I love how this adds a bit of shadow from the added dimension.

Stampin’ Studio Tips

Measurements: Whisper White Thick cardstock: 4-1/4″ x 11″, Soft Sky: 5-1/4″ x 4″, Garden Green: scraps for the stems, Whisper White: scraps for the banner and flowers.

Tips: When you use a stamp that fits a framelits image, be sure to stamp the image first, and then die cut it.  It’s much easier to line things up this way rather than cut first then stamp.  Trust me, I know.
