Technique Tuesday: Coffee Filter Background

What a cool technique!  I say this all the time, stampers don't throw anything away and they can stamp on anything.  I wonder how someone figured out that you can stamp and ink up a coffee filter for an interesting technique.  Hope this inspires you!!

Throwback Thursday: Stamped Silk Scarf

I hope you are enjoying all the Throwback Thursday projects.  I remember when this was the hottest thing on the blogs... stamping on silk scarves.  I still think it's very pretty...  This was a little scarf that you tied onto a purse... very cute.

Father's Day Golf Tee Card

I was playing around and put together some Father's Day card samples.  I've been meaning to try this card.  The one on the left has the Stampin' Up! Decorative Dots embossing folder and the one on the right has the Stripes embossing folder.  Either way they look cute!

Technique Tuesday: Faux Postage Technique

This technique was always one of my favorites.  I created the template for this on the computer by making squares with dotted lines and then I cut them out with my fancy scissors.  I even love the color combination on this one Rich Razzleberry, Pretty in Pin and Soft Suede.

May Class Projects: Father's Day

Today I am sharing the projects from my monthly stamping class.   The main these was Father's Day... trying to stay ahead of the game.

DSP Gift Bag:  Made these adorable gift bags with Stampin' Up! DSP (Designer Series Paper).  using dark colored DSP makes them perfect for the "masculine" look.

Dimensions:  12 x 6 sheet of DSP, score at 4, 5 1/2, 9 1/2 and 11.

Monthly Coaster Calendar:  July & August

Father's Day Hershey Bar:  Made this using a regular sized envelope

Step 1:  Seal the envelope, cut off one end... cut only a small piece, just enough to create the pocket.

Step 2:  On the opening you just made, make a slit in the front.. aim towards the middle and cut about 1" down

Step 3:  Fold down on each side to create flaps..  your shirt collar

Step 4:  Decorate your shirt collar with DSP paper

Step 5:  Cut out a tie using DSP paper.  When I cut the pattern out of DSP, I cut top part and the bottom part of the tie in different directions to make it look like a tie knot.  See the samples... the top of the tie and the bottom and you will notice the patterns don't line up.  I sponged the edges to give it depth. 

Step 6:  I put dimensionsals under the color and added a greeting.... and of course the Hershey Bar.

Giveaway:  Gave one to all the girls who came to class.  I made these using the new Stampin' Up! Banner Framelits.  Good for a Hershey Nuggets or any small candy.

These cards were previously posted, but they were part of my class projects.
