Patty's stamp class

We had a great time at stamp class last night. Here are the projects we made. As you can see I used the Big Shot on a couple of them. Yes we had a fun time & there is always something new to learn!!

The Make-&-Take Card at Patty's Open House

This is what the Make-&-take card looks like on the inside.

Stamp sets: Flight of the Butterfly stamp, Elegant Cheer, God's Blessings, & Think Happy Thoughts.

The outside view of the Make & take

This is what the card looks like when closed.

I used the new (my favorite ) Bella Rose designer Paper, and the new Kiwi Kiss C/S, and the Riding Hood Red Card stock.
I used the 1 1/4"circle punch, photo corners punch, Scallop Circle Punch, and the new Scallop Edge punch. The punches are found on Pages 188-9

Patty's Open House

Ok here we are, just as I said, "you are going to be on my blog spot".

Everyone was having fun, laughing & posed as my husband Ron took our picture.
A BIG THANKS TO HIM FOR HELPING ME GET READY!!
"THANK YOU SWEETIE"!!

I just cut the box in half & covered it with the new Tangerine Tango card Stock (PG. 162) & the New Bella Rose Designer Series Paper. (PG. 168) This was a last minute idea. Even though I was rushed to get it done, with a little help from my Big Shot Machine I enjoyed making it.

Here are a couple of displays I made for the open house. The one at the top, on your left had different die cuts that I used with the Big Shot Machine.

The one on the right here at the bottom had Bella Rose, DSP, my favorite paper. You can tell by my apron, it has the Bella Rose pattern on it. I love it , I love it.!!

Well a big "thank you" to all of you that came to my open house, I enjoyed having you. I had a good turn out on Friday & the storm didn't keep you away on Saturday. My open house closed at 8:30 on Saturday. At that time I called Nancy Gillett & told her "you have won the door prize" She was happy to hear that she had won. (the corner punch).
