Stamping with Lori

Halloween Pages

 
 
Here are the final samples from Scrapbooking Club last week. I have to say that I think this is some kind of record for me to already have my Halloween pictures scrapbooked in mid-November! I used a photo collage created by Jessica Sprague to make the collages for these pages at home. I then had them printed as 8 x 10's. Contact me if you want more information on how to create the photo collages.

 
 
I did two different versions of this page, because I figured my nine year old son was a bit too old for the Build-A-Bear die cuts. I do need to go back and add journaling on the collage and the date.

Happy Stamping,

Lori

The Write Stuff Pages

This is another layout from Scrapbooking Club. I used the Write Stuff Specialty Designer Series Paper for the butterflies, Circle pattern accent strip and the journaling block. I really like this specialty pack, because of all the fun punch-out journaling pieces and the Ruby Red/Soft Suede color palette is gender neutral. This would make a great Christmas gift for a scrapbooker on your list!

The Large flowers are made from the Scallop punch and the large oval for the leaves. The small flowers are the Boho Blossoms punch with the small oval. The grass is made by feeding a strip of Old Olive though the Scallop edge punch twice with a slight offset.

Happy Stamping,

Blossom Party Pages

This is a two-page layout I designed for Scrapbooking Club this month. The flowers were made using the Stampin' Up! Blossom Party Original Die for the Big Shot. The stems are the Swirly Decorative Strip Die. I got the Blossom die on a whim with Hostess money, because I thought it was cute, but after making this page I love it. The flowers are the perfect size for 12 x 12 scrapbooking. 

I will be sharing the other two layouts later this week.

Just a quick reminder that I need RSVP's for the Christmas Card event TODAY!!

Snowburst Wreath

The final card sample from the Christmas card class. This is one of my favorites. It uses one of the medium snowflakes from the Snowburst set stamped over and over in a circle to create a wreath. The "berries" are holes punched to reveal the Burgundy behind the Top Note.

Happy Stamping,

Elegant Patterned Pines

I always try to have a Christmas card in non-traditional colors, because the red and green just gets a bit tedious. This is the Level 1 hostess set from the Holiday Mini Catalog, done in Elegant Eggplant. Only 2 days left to RSVP!

Happy Stamping,

Lori

Branch Out Card

Here is another sample from the upcoming Christmas Elegance Card class. I always try to have a seasonal card that is not Christmas specific, so this meets that criteria. I love this stamp set, but have not gotten to use the snowflakes before. There is Dazzling Diamonds on the flakes to provide a bit of bling, but that is lost in the scan.

Happy Stamping,

Lori

Delightful Decorations Card

Another sample from the upcoming class. Three more days to RSVP!

This card uses the new Ornament punch and the Petals-A-Plenty textured impressions plate for the big shot.

I will share the remaining three projects tomorrow. The bonus card will remain a surprise!

Happy Stamping,

Lori

Dasher Card

Here is another sample for the upcoming Elegance Christmas Class. This card uses one of my new favorite sets, Dasher. It is on the under $10 page and is really a lovely image. I also am loving the new flocked designer paper. The scan does not do it justice.

Happy Stamping,

Lori

Christmas Elegance Class Sample

Here is the first sample from the upcoming Christmas Elegance card class. RSVP's are due on the 11th, so I will post the rest of the samples over the next two days.

This card uses the Movers & Shapers Die for the Big Shot to cut the larger Scallop Oval. This provides some really fun layering.

Happy Stamping,

Lori
 

Fall Flowers

I got this card idea from one of the display boards at convention. I always love learning a new way to use a punch I own. Sorry about all the retired product on this sample, but I am just trying to use some of it up!

One tip when making this card: Use Sticky Strip to hold the "pot" together with the thread in between.

Happy Stamping,
Lori
