“Petal Party” SIMPLY SCRAPPIN’ KIT

Images © 1990-2011 Stampin' Up!

I Promised You A Project With The "Petal Party" Simply Scrappin' Kit!!

Petal Party Simply Scrappin' Kit 113059
Page 166 2009 - 2010 Idea Book & Catalog

You can create all this and so much more from one kit
(15 cards and 3 different 12x12 Scrapbook Pages, a Basket, Card Tote)
and 8 sheets of 8 ½” x 11” Whisper White card stock, Adhesives and a Paper Trimmer with scoring blade

For a long time now I’ve wanted to showcase the fabulous new Stampin’ Up! Simply Scrappin’ Kits from the 2009-2010 Idea Book & Catalog. My challenge last year was that many of my customers are primarily card makers and probably wouldn’t take a second look at a “scrappin’ kit”. I also have a number of customers who are scrapbookers and don’t make cards and then there is the group who do both and so l created several fun classes – using rub ons and our now retired Simply Scrappin’ Kits – The response to my classes was beyond anything I ever expected or hoped for – Coast to Coast and around the globe – I was stunned!

The thing that struck me most as I was creating these projects was that they made me smile, they are soooo bright and cheerful - I can’t decide if it was the fun, yet flexible images or the fabulous color combinations.


• For my “card makers” – I made 15 bright, super simple and fun cards from half, yes, half the kit plus eight sheets of 8 ½” x 11” Whisper White card stock and as well as still having half the kit still unused, there were still pieces left over to make a few extra projects and so I’ve stepped it up a bit this time and included a basket and card tote project, all from half the Simply Scrappin’ kit.
• For my “scrapbookers” – I made 3 different but coordinating 12x12 scrapbook pages from half, yes, half the kit and of course with the other half of the kit you could easily create coordinating facing pages for a double spread and there were plenty of images left over for extra embellishment or making additional projects later. Again I’ve stepped it up a bit this time and given you some bonus ideas to create two of the pages in two slightly different ways.
• For my “card makers/scrapbookers” – I made three different but coordinating 12x12 scrapbook pages and 15 cards, along with a card tote and basket, by using the entire kit plus eight sheets of extra 8 ½” x 11” Whisper White card stock and there were still plenty of pieces left over for extra embellishment or additional projects.

As always I chose to use the minimum tools and embellishments to keep the projects simple and inexpensive – perfect for beginners and bliss for long time crafters and the perfect project to take to a crop without having to take along “everything & the kitchen sink”:

Tools:
• Petal Party Simply Scrappin’ Kit
• Paper trimmer – with scoring and cutting blades
• Adhesives – I used my favorite – removable Dotto® and Sticky Strip for the 3d projects
• Dimensionals (totally optional)
• Whisper White Card Stock
(cards only – 8+ sheets depending on number of cards you make)
• Bone Folder (cards only)
• Stapler or 1/16” Hand Held Punch and two brads
• Ruler, not necessary, but useful
• Pencil
• Corner Rounder (totally optional)
• Envelopes if you are making cards and photographs if you are making scrapbook pages
• Time (not as much as you would think)
• Imagination and Creativity (totally optional)
• Friends/Family to share your fabulous creations with

Note to downline and other demonstrators – this is great because it appeals to everyone and you can make it fit anyone’s budget and who wouldn’t want to make all these cards/projects with just a few simple tools?

There are pictures with the by mail class for each card, as well as the 3d projects, and each scrapbook page, along with very simple directions – the pictures speak for themselves, so I didn’t see the need for step by step directions, but I did include dimensions, tips and directions where needed, right under each picture.

At the end of the project I still had lots of los of card and paper etc. left, so I’ll be creating more.

Would you like to take part in a creative gathering to make these fabulous projects? Send me an email reeveelizabeth@hotmail.com.

As October approaches and we head for Breast Cancer awareness month, I thought it would be fun to create a class and learn two new techniques while creating some very simple and yet meaningful note card sets.....

If you think it would be fun to learn how to use Heat and Stick Powder and combine it with Dazzling Diamonds and craft ink to create this dazzling note card or simply make a some stylish embossed cards, send me an email reeveelizabeth@hotmail.com and if enough people are interested I'll add it to my Fall class schedule.

Build A Bear - Color Me Caddy - Class Maybe?

Images © 1990-2010 Stampin' Up!

Our Build A Bear product line is brand new and as I start to plan my Fall class schedule, I was wondering if you'd like to attend a class to make this fun "Color Me Card Caddy" class. If you think this is a class you'd like to attend, please send me an email reeveelizabeth@hotmail.com and if enough people are interested we'll add it to the Fall schedule.

Raspberry Tart Meets Oval All

I created these note cards before I knew that there was going to be a Designer Series Paper special "Buy Three - Get One Free" for the entire month of May and I thought now was the perfect time to show them to you.Images © 1990-2009 Stampin' Up!

One of my favorite things is that all the hard work of color coordination is already taken care of, because the colors in the paper are listed and so all you need to do is use any or all of those listed and you'll have a perfectly coordinating project to go with your fabulous Designer Series Paper and since the paper is double sided with different designs, the possibilities are amazing.

We made a box to go with these cards at stamp club last week and the ladies loved it. The part I liked best was the look of astonishment when they put the lids on in turn and I think each of them said "it fits" with a little grin and a look of surprise - it was a fabulous thing to see.

Thank you ladies for making me smile. I'll carry that memory in my heart for many years!

Classes By Email

Stampin' Up! posted another one of my classes today from the latest contest and so I've been getting a number of emails asking for more information about my "by mail" classes for demonstrators and just regular customers.

You can find more information by going to the side bar here and selecting "classes by mail" or by all means, please feel free to email me reeveelizabeth@hotmail.com and I'll be happy to work with you so that you too can share in these fun classes.

I have another great new class up my sleeve, but that will have to wait for the new products in the new 2009 - 2010 Idea Book, which will be launched on July 1st 2009, so stay tuned and thanks a million for all your support. As long as you keep asking for my classes, I'll keep creating them for you!

Note Card Class

A few months ago a member of my family from England emailed me and asked me if I'd order some golf cards from a company in America and send them to England. Shock, horror, I had to actually order and send shop purchased cards.

To my delight, a few weeks later Stampin' Up! came out with a fantastic stamp set for guys, including golf and so I set about creating a set of note cards to send to England.

By the time I'd finished, I'd completed it by creating a coordinating box with a window.

Below you can see what it turned out like.

Images © 1990-2009 Stampin' Up!

I then thought that the ladies needed to be included and so I created this love note size set.

Images © 1990-2009 Stampin' Up!



You know how I hate keeping things to myself and so I've turned making note cards into an event that you can attend.

Join me on:
Tuesday May 26th from 9:30 - 11:30 AM
or
Wednesday May 27th from 7:00 - 9:00 PM

We'll make your choice of either the man set or lady set - just let me know when you reserve your spot which one you'd like to make.

The box is super simple to make and so we'll make that too.

Cost: $15.00 per person - your payment by check or cash reserves your spot and remember space is limited and is on a first reserve first serve basis.

Don't forget to let me know if you are coming to the day or evening event and which set you would like to make.

Please note that the images above are not exact replicas of what we will make, they are just to give you an idea of the type of project I'm talking about. Colors, ribbon and designs will vary.

Don't forget to reserve contact me ASAP, so that I can order and cut out your projects ready for your enjoyment.

I'm looking forward to stamping with you!

Best Ever Bookmarks - I'm Still Using The Same Kit

Images © 1990-2009 Stampin' Up!

Hi Everyone - Well, I bet you thought my first post back from the London regional would be about that, it should be, but first I have to show you what I created just as I was leaving.


I went to create a few extra swaps - thinking bookmarks and found that I still had some parts of my Best Ever Simply Scrappin' Kit left over and so I thought I'd post them for you to see. Even after creating all of these, I still have double sided paper and self adhesive strips left over. It's insane how much you can create from one Simply Scrappin' Kit - 4 Scrapbook pages 12x12, 20 cards, 13 bookmark size cards and still more to make.


Sorry, I didn't create directions or dimensions for these, I was just rushing to get a few extra swaps made before we set off.

I had to do some quick thinking

Images © 1990-2009 Stampin' Up!

Wow, I had no idea that when Stampin' Up! posted my idea of using a Simply Scrappin' Kit for both cards and scrapbooking that so many people would want details on how to recreate mine exactly.

Of course this is a bit of a dilemma for me, since I am already offering the "Best Ever" class in April and as a "by Mail" item when you purchase the kit.

While I would love to offer my class for FREE to demonstrators, that would not be right to my dedicated customers who have and will purchase the class.

If you already have the "Best Ever" Simply Scrappin' Kit, but would like to purchase the class instructions, simply email me at reeveelizabeth@hotmail.com and when I receive your check for $7:00 you will receive the class details by email. I will send you the pdf by email. The first section contains images of each color group of card photos. Step by step instructions are not necessary, however any necessary instructions and dimensions are included with each photo.

The second section contains images of each of the three 12x12 scrapbook pages and necessary details.

The final Bonus section contains a bonus project (white page), which I added using pieces left over once the cards and three original scrapbook pages were complete.

I guess you could say there is now an option "D" to my class.

Thank you to everyone who emailed to say congratulations on winning the Stampin' Up! competition. I'm still stunned, but thrilled that it inspired you.

Simply Scrappin'

Although this Simply Scrappin' Kit has now retired, I couldn't resist using it and showing you how easy it is to create fun pages. The only stamping I needed to use was for the words "sun shine". Do you go to crops and find you take half your crafting room? Next time, just take a couple of Simply Scrappin' Kits and you'll be surprised at how beautiful your pages are and how few supplies you have to take.

For a long time now I’ve wanted to showcase one of the fabulous Stampin’ Up! Simply Scrappin’ Kits. My challenge is that many of my customers are primarily card makers and probably wouldn’t take a second look at a “scrappin’ kit”. I also have a number of customers who are scrapbookers and don’t make cards and then there is the group who do both.

Now, it has been said, and I quote “you can please some of the people all of the time and all of the people some of the time, but you can’t please all of the people, all of the time”, it has also been said that “you can’t be all things to all people”.

Well, I’m here to show you that the Simply Scrappin’ kit does the very best job of kicking both those statements into touch. Just look above and you will see a small sampling of what I’m talking about.

For my “card makers” – I made 20 really classy cards out of half, yes, half the kit and ten sheets of 8 ½” x 11” Whisper White card stock and as well as still having half the kit still unused, there were still pieces left over to make a few extra, which means you can make more than forty cards out of just one Simply Scrappin’ kit.

For my “scrapbookers” – I made 3 different but coordinating 12x12 scrapbook pages from half, yes, half the kit and of course with the other half of the kit you could easily create coordinating facing pages for a double spread and there were plenty of images left over for extra embellishment or making additional projects later.

For my “card makers/scrapbookers” – I made three different but coordinating 12x12 scrapbook pages and 20 cards by using the entire kit and ten sheets of extra 8 ½” x 11” Whisper White card stock and there ware still plenty of pieces left over for extra embellishment or additional projects.

I chose to use the minimum tools and embellishments to keep the projects simple and inexpensive – perfect for beginners and bliss for long time crafters:

· Best Ever Simply Scrappin’ Kit
· Paper trimmer
· Glue – I used my favorite – removable Dotto®
· Dimensionals (totally optional)
· Whisper White Card Stock (cards only - 10 or 20 sheets depending on number of cards you make)
· Bone Folder (cards only)
· Time (not as much as you would think)
· Imagination and Creativity (totally optional)
· Friends/Family to share your fabulous creations with

The thing that struck me most as I was creating the cards was how they reminded me of one of those classy designer store cards. I can’t decide if it was the simple yet flexible and elegant images or the fabulous color combinations and the ability to create a monochromatic effect. I was also impressed with the fact that I couldn’t think of a single person these cards in the right combination wouldn’t work for.

The colors in the scrapbook pages are neutral enough for any picture and the perfect backdrop to get you in the mood for being creative.

Now that you have seen the flexibility of our Simply Scrappin’ Kits, I hope you’ll take a closer look at the many fabulous designs in our current Stampin’ Up! Idea Book for Spring and Summer 2009.
