May Technique Club Projects

Wow...it's already time to meet with my Clubs next weekend! I used the ideas that I got from the Woo Hoo Stampers downline meeting for the gift card holder and box: Click here to view the projects from the meeting. The card idea came from the mini card on page 133 of the Idea Book & Catalog , and uses the Wonderful Favorites stamp set, which I really like for cards scrapbooking.

Yay...the 4 card designs for my upcoming Stack-A-Stack are done! This class is May 17th...email if you'd like to attend. Click on photo to see more detail. All 4 cards use the Big Shot...what did we do before the Big Shot?!

Teacher Appreciation Frame

Have you thanked a teacher? This frame was made for my daughter's preschool teacher, Miss Sarah. My daughter adores her and the preschool celebrated their teachers last week. I had stampers over this past weekend to make family frames. I have certainly gotten my money's worth for this stamp set...actually...I may have earned this set for free! :)

Photo Wallet

Aren't these just adorable? What parent or grand- parent wouldn't love to have one of these to show off their kiddos?! These were all made by Gabriella Bonnino and she did a wonderful job. I can't wait to make one of my own. This would be such a cute and quick gift for others. You can view the complete tutorial by clicking here.

Tent Cards

Aren't these Tent Cards just adorable? They were made by Ann McCauley and she did a fantastic job. I can't wait to make one...they're actually very simple to make! You can check out Ann's blog, which includes directions for these cards, by clicking here.

Catalog Inspired Card

Does this card look familiar to you??? The very similar card that was my inspiration is on page 201 of the Stampin' Up! Catalog. I made a few changes to make the card a bit quicker to make for my Stamp-A-Stack Class.
