Stamp with Michele

Scrapbook Club Layout

I just realized I never posted my March Scrapbook Club layout.  This used the Flirtatious Specialty Designer Series Paper.  The Whisper White cardstock on the left side is stamped with the Delicate Doilies stamp set in different colors.  I love that whenever I take a Stampin Up stamp set & do this everyone asks what Designer Paper I have used & I get to tell them I made it.  Other product used:  Hello, Doily stamp embossed with White embossing powder, Wisteria Wonder 3/8" Ruffled Ribbon, flower punch from the Itty Bitty Shapes Punch Pack with Circle Fire Rhinestones & Circle Ice Rhinestones in the middle.  Hope you like it.

October Scrapbook Club layout: Thankful for...

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

I just love our Spice Cake Designer Series Paper from the Holiday Mini Catalog.  I wasn't thrilled about the Stampin' Up! Gently Falling stamp set when I first layed eyes on it but it was part of a Bundle I was allowed to purchase at 40% off due to my demonstrator title.  I then received my regular 20% off that price.  Once I started using it, as always it grew on me.  One of the things I am thankful for is all my customers & downline.  I just can't imagine my life without Stampin' Up!.  With this said I would also like to shout out a big welcome to my new downline:  WELCOME JULIE. 

More of the products used here:  Spice Cake Designer Buttons, Jayne's Type Alphabet stamp set, 1 3/8" Circle Punch, Scallop Trim Border Punch, Itty Bitty Shapes Punch Pack, Pool Party  3/8" Ruffled Ribbon, Natural Hemp Twine. 

 

Have to get ready soon for my Technique Club tonight.  Hope to see you soon, Michele

 

Ladybug Moments Scrapook Club layout for September

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

This might look a bit familar.  I showed the first page of this layout in the last month as it was one of the projects for a workshop.  I decided to use the page for my Scrapbook Club but needed to come up with a 2nd page.  There is no stamping with a Stampin Up stamp set but we did do a little stamping. 

Products used:  Friendly Words Jumbo Wheel, Jumbo Wheel Handle, Just Add Cake Designer Series Paper, 2 3/8" Scallop Circle Punch, 1 3/4" Scallop Circle Punch, 1" Circle Punch, 1/2" Circle Punch, 3/4" Circle Punch, Itty Bitty Shapes Punch Pack, Big Shot, Naturally Serif Sizzlit Decorative Strip Die, Poppy Parade 1/2" Stitched-Poly Ribbon, Whisper White, Poppy Parade, Baha Breeze, Basic Black, Neutrals Basic Black brads, 5/16" Neutrals Whisper White brad, Stazon Black.

So know I will tell you how I did stamping without Stampin Up stamps.  I could have punched out all the little dots on the lady bugs but it would have taken some time so I found a trick that another demonstrator had used:  take a new pencil with an eraser & ink it up & stamp the dots.  Much quicker.

 

  

 

 

 

 

Workshop Scrapbook Page "Ladybug Moments"

Here is the Ladybug Scrapbook Page for my workshop on Saturday. I found a layout I thought would work for my page that another demonstrator had made but changed up some of the colors, part of the layout, etc. If you looked at both pages you would find little that resembled each other but that is sometimes how it works. I think the hostess & all her guest will enjoy their card and scrapbook page.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

July Scrapbook Club Layout

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Hello all.  Here was my Scrapbook layout for the July Club for Family Reunions.  I gave everyone the option to change the title if they would like.  Really not much stamping on this layout.  I used the new Paisley Petals Designer Series Paper using 8 of the 12 designs in it.  The Stampin' Up! stamp set is called Inspired by Nature.  The Bird Builder Punch was used with a Basic Pearl for the eye & the vellum wing was embossed with the Big Shot & the Vintage Wallpaper Textured Impressions Embossing Folder.  The letters used the Big Shot & the GoGo Boots Letters & Numbers which are no longer in our current catalog.  This was a very simple layout I cased from one of my roommates at Convention (Monika Davis, GA) who actually cased it from her upline Wendy Randall.

 

 

 

 

 

May Scrapbook Club- Easter or Spring layout

This was my May Scrapbook Club layout where they could stamp Easter or Spring for the Title.  This uses a new Stampin' Up! stamp set Fabulous Florets and Flower Garden Textured Impressions Embossing Folder from the Summer Mini Catalog.  The colors uses were Wild Wasabi, Pretty in Pink, Chocolate Chip and Pink Pirourette.  Also used was the Jayne's Type Alphabet stamp set, Pretty in Pink 1 1/4" Striped Grosgrain Ribbon, Big Shot & 1" circle punch.

March Scrapbook Club Layout

 For the March Scrapbook Club we made a Valentine Layout .  They were able to choose what words they wanted on the title from the Stampin' Up! Fabulous Phrases Stamp set.  These words were stamped over the stamped heart in the Punch Potpourri Level 1 Hostess set.  I used both red & pink on these hearts you can see better if you double click on the picture to enlarge it.  Underneath the title is 2 rows of cardstock using the Pinking Hearts Border Punch.  Also used were the Full Heart punch, Heart to Heart Punch, Big Shot, Square Lattice textured impressions embossing folder, Scallop Circle bigz die, Clear Circle bigz die, Dimensionals, Antique brad, sponging and embedded embossing technique.

 

 

Michele Schmidt, Waterloo, IA had a great time with Shawna's family & friends from Dunkerton & LaPorte City.  New friends!  I just love my Stamping Up job.
