Stampin Palooza Projects

Hello,

So it's been a couple weeks since my last post.  First I was very busy getting ready for Stampin' Palooza check out the details here for the next one. Then I spent some time cleaning my craft room before putting everything away.  It seems to always be a work in progress.

So at the Jan. Stampin Palooza we made a total of 6 cards.  Today I am going to show you 3 and 3 on the next post.

So we did a Retiform or (Retro as I call it) card using the Petal Pallet Stamp set.





  • Take Post It notes and tape off a section of the card.
  • In the taped off section start sponging lighter to darker with the sponge daubers (Keepin mind Island Indigo can get really dark)
  • Stamp desired stamp with Island indigo on top of section.
  • Cover the area you just stamped with post it notes and tape off a new section.
  • Repeat sponging and stamping.
  • Repeat these steps until whole paper is complete.
  • You have an option of leaving a white space between each section, or no space at all.
  • Attach ribbon.

The next project I am going to show you is the Daffodil Card, but I kept calling it a Lily, using the  your Inspiring Stamp set. My mistake I guess I don't know my flowers.

 
  • Take the piece of printer paper and tear it in half.
  • With the easy release tape, tape down each half about an inch from each side of the Shimmer paper.
  • Start sponging from lighter to darker in the open area.
  • Remove the printer paper and stamp Lily stamp in Basic Black.
  • Color inside of Lily with the Daffodil Delight Stampin’ Blends Markers.
  • Attach Ribbon to Shimmer Paper.
  • Attach all layers together.

This was a simple quick and easy card to make.

The next one is The Pop up Box, or (Invisible Box) That is what Julie DiMatteo @ The Paper Pixie refereed to it as.



Along with the instructions I am attaching the link to The Paper Pixie.  Julie has a great video on haw to make this box.



  • On the long side of the card stock score @ 2”, 4”, 6”, 8”.
  • On the short side score @ 2”, 5”,6”,7”.
  • Fold down to the second score line on the 8 ½” side and put a tick mark on 1”, 3”, 5”, 7”.
  • Cut away areas per the diagram on the right.
  • Fold down the 1st score line before burnishing all folds.  This will help the box form up and be able to do the up and down slide.
  • Attach Tear & Tape to the tab and to the bottom and fold up the box.
  • At this point you will be able to slide the box up and down and you want to do this a few times.
  • Put the box in the closed position and glue the last tab in place.
  • Stamp phrase on Whisper White and punch with 1 1/8” Scalloped Circle Punch.
  • Punch 1 3/8” Scalloped Circle Punch out of Powder Pink or Lemon Lime Twist.
  • Stamp Flower and die cut.
  • Attach flower with glue dots.
  • Attach Ribbon and attach Scalloped Circles with dimensionals. 


 This is a diagram of what you need to cut away.

I hope you enjoyed 3 of the 6 projects from Stampin' Palooza. 

Remember if you have not received the 2018 Sale-a-Bration or Occasions Catalog let me know and I can get one to you.

Happy Stampin',
