More 2013-2015 In Color Projects

Sharing the last of the In Color projects...

Thanks to Kristy, Tammy, MJ and Katie for a fun night of stamping!

How about a card sample!

It felt great to get back into my craft room over my holidays and create again!  I'm way, WAY behind with my stock of birthday cards so making this card was fun and practical.  It's a layout that can be easily replicated and modified for either a feminine or masculine feel.  I'll be back tomorrow with more Open House & Sale information and another card sample!

 

 

Scentsational!

One of my favorite cards of the season (so far)!  This Holiday Bundle is Scentsational and a must have for anyone looking to invest in some fresh new supplies for the upcoming season.  The bundle includes a stamp set (clear or wooden blocks) and the new AMAZING framelits!  Framelits are literally frames that allow you to cut out each image in the stamp set with no scissors, no fuss!  The girls that attended my Holiday Card class last month loved this new Big Shot accessory.  For the card, I used the color combination of Early Espresso / Cherry Cobbler and Very Vanilla. 

Holiday Card Class Sample!

Hello Crafty Friends! 

I'm so excited to share one of the card layouts we'll be working on during my upcoming Holiday class this Wednesday August 29th!

There are two sessions offered on Wednesday:
10am - 1130am
7pm - 830pm

Typically I have to cut off registration a few days earlier than the class date in order to allow enough time to cut & prepare card projects while working full time BUT this week I'M ON VACATION!  So I will be able to take a few last minute guests for this class.  If your schedule has opened up and you would like to attend, please email me ASAP. 

All card projects are pre-cut for quick assembly by guests.  This particular class won't have a full demonstration...just a few tricks / tips before you enjoy the joy of crafting!  Hope you can join us!

Thank You Rebecca!

Super talented Rebecca Wheeler made this as one of her cards to swap at our Regionals yesterday!  She gave a sample to myself and our other team member, Lisa ...THANK YOU so much Rebecca!  I love this card!

Rebecca used a new stamp set from the current 2012-2013 IB&C called Layered Labels, as well as some DSP (Patio Party).  This is one of the stamp sets that has a coordinating Framelit Die... Apothecary Accents (p.191). 

If you haven't experienced the Framelits yet - WOW - you are in for a huge treat!  Those that attend my upcoming holiday card classes will see first hand how they work and get to use some to make their holiday card projects!!   Thanks for stopping by today - twice!  More posts coming all week so be sure to check back often.

But I don't like that saying...

Hello There!

Hope your weekend is off to a great start!  Have you found yourself saying this from time-to-time?  Well, today's card sample may just help you next time that happens!  This is a layout that could be used for multiple card options or occasions!  It may even look familiar to you from the card sample posted this past Monday :o)

The colors used for these samples includes: Early Espresso, Crumb Cake and Whisper White.  The white border was made using the Big Shot and the Framed Tulips Impressions Folder.  The main focus of the card (the flower image) is embossed with White Embossing Powder and this makes the image much more vivid.  I finished the card with some coordinating Crumb Cake satin ribbon and on the card on the right, you can see how the saying of any image can be covered up or changed to something else as the need arises.  Just stamp a different saying on a piece of cardstock and use the Word Window punch to cut it out and adhere overtop of the original saying!

Hope you've enjoyed today's card samples.  Be sure to check back again over the weekend for more Stampin' Up! ideas!!

Holiday Simply Scrappin' Kit

These projects were made using the amazing Christmas Lane Simply Scrappin' Kit showcased in the current Holiday Mini!

There's still time to get your kit and prepare projects for the season!

Button Buddies Samples Part 2

Love snowmen? You'll love this card then!

For this layout, I used the new Designer Frame Impression Embossing Folder (Set of 2 folders) to create the card's focal point. The snowman image from the Button Buddies stamp set fits easily into the center of the impression. I combined the colors Tempting Turquois & Rich Razzleberry to create this 'Brights' sample for Friday night!

Here's a close up of the oval impression...don't you just love it!!??

Part 3 is coming your way tomorrow! Have a great night everyone!

Button Buddies Samples Part 1

So excited for a couple of events this week...

First, some of my Team Burns downline team will be coming over Wednesday night to play around with the Playful Polka Dot Simply Scrappin' Kit! We hope to be very productive in the 1.5hrs we have together and I'm looking forward to some helpful business talk and collaboration of ideas!

The other event I have going on this week is my Button Buddies stamp camp! While registration is now closed for this event, I wanted to share more card samples made specifically for this upcoming class!

Here's a close up of the card. I used the Big Shot to create the Scallop Circle #2 Die and the stripes on the card front! Love the new Stripes impression embossing folder!! I stamped the vase on DSP and then cut it out and popped it up on the image stamped on the vanilla circle. I then used some Bright's Designer Buttons as the flowers for the image.

Be sure to come back tomorrow to see Part 2 of this post! Thanks for stopping by today!!

Introducing... The Blossom Bigz Die!

I was really excited to order the new Blossom Bigz Die and try it out!

I will tell you that it takes some practice...it definitely isn't a good die for a Big Shot beginner but like anything else...the more you make, the easier they get!

And the output? These Blossom Boxes are stunning! They stay together nicely, and they don't require adhesive to close (although you need adhesive to assemble the seam). Because you don't adhese the opening shut, you can re-use the box over and over again!

This die is medium in size so if you don't have a Big Shot, but you have another Sizzix type machine, it is likely going to fit. Click on the picture below to see more product information!

Watch for an upcoming Big Shot class where this new Die will be demonstrated!! Thanks for stopping by today!

Snow Much Fun!

Here are the other two club projects we worked on during yesterday's Holiday Club event! I wanted to demonstrate a different type of card for the girls, something interactive, so a SPINNER CARD was the ideal choice! Because this type of card is a bit more complicated, we didn't make two of them, rather we made a coordinating treat bag using the Fancy Favor Bigz Die.

The stamp set used is from the new 2012 IB&C and it is sure to be a crowd favorite for holiday cards and holiday scrapbooking! The card inspiration, once again, came from our demo website Stampers Showecase but the bag I created all on my own (lol)! I used the new 'Starburst' jumbo wheel and the chubby snowman from the 'Snow Much Fun' stamp set!

Here is the 'Snow Much Fun' stamp set, available in both Clear & Wood Mounted options:

Thanks for stopping by! Enjoy the beautiful weather in Southwestern Ontario!!

Big Shot Club / Class Combo Event!

My next series of Big Shot Club / Class combo events are starting up this Sunday and I'm so excited to be focusing on Fall & Winter projects throughout the next 4 months!

If you would like to join us - there are spots available!

Many of you have enjoyed the concept of these club / class events because you have flexible options. You can join as a club member and earn lots of great freebies, or just come as a class go'er and learn some new crafting tricks using the Big Shot tool!! Either way, I know you're going to love the Fall projects I have planned for you Sunday night. Read on for more info about the club / class options and RSVP by tomorrow if you'd like to attend.

When one ends...another begins!

Sunday night marked the final event for my Spring/Summer Big Shot Club/Class Combo! We had a really nice time over the last 4 months playing with the Big Shot and various Dies and making all sorts of paper crafting projects!

Here are the projects from Sunday night. We focused on a few things during this class, including the use of dies to make other shapes (ie the dress), the use of the new Designer Series Buttons and the Designer Series Paper Stacks!!

The Pacific Point card below used some Cordoury Buttons - not sold in the current 2011 IB&C, but can still be ordered online at a drastically reduced price - up to 60% off!! Check out my online Clearence Rack here and order 24/7!

While the first Big Shot Club/Class focused entirely on cards/bags/boxes, the Fall/Winter Club will take things a step further and include some crafting with materials like fabric, vinyl, cork & metal materials. This will make a fabulous club/class for those with a little or a lot of crafting experience as everything will be demonstrated & explained during the club events!

Email me anytime if you're interested in learning more about the Big Shot Club/Class Combo! I would anticipate a September start to this club/class! lisaburns@rogers.com

Have a great Wednesday everyone!!

June's Big Shot Club Samples

Friday night was BIG SHOT club night! Here are the projects from this months' club event! It was a tropical evening for sure!

We have 1 more club event in July before this first club ends and an new club begins in August. If you'd like to come as a guest - to see what all the fuss is about - there are guest spots open for July for $5!!

The Big Shot Dies we use the night of the club event are all 10% off when ordered at the conclusion of the class.

I'm back (with samples this week) - FINALLY :o)

My apologies for the lack of posts last week... it was busy, busy, busy with spring/summer sports starting up and a camping trip booked for the first long weekend of the summer = no time to do much last week during the evenings!

I actually have quite a bit to share with you - from May club projects; to new announcements; to samples & swaps I received at the Spring Fling held last weekend and finally to some new clubs I'm starting up - there's just so much to get out there and so little time to do it all in!!

I also have some really exciting news BUT I'm not quite ready to share it yet so you'll have to come back for that!

Ok - let's start with a sample! This project was showcased at this month's 'King' Club event. The girls loved this Note Box filled with cards and the group worked away at the assembing the box and making all 4 cards for the inside! This project is an example of what you might find at one of my Stamp Camp type classes!

It was also a project we were able to learn & complete at the Spring Fling event I attended last wekeend! What fun! Below are individual pictures of the project from the side and inside as well as the 4x4 note cards that filled up the box! The project uses the following colors: Rose Red, Tempting Turquoise, So Saffron, Old Olive and Pumpkin Pie. These colors are so bright & fresh together! The Designer Paper is from the NEW Summer Mini catalogue and is called 'Island Oasis'. You'll be seeing a lot more of this paper in use from me over the next few months! It's awesome!!
