July Stamp Club

I love being a demonstrator with Stampin' Up!  Every other month, all demonstrators receive Stampin' Success in the mail--it's one of the demonstrator perks!!!

Many of our stamp club projects come directly from the demonstrator magazine.

Like this one...

July Stamp Club: Adorable Folded Box

Isn't this little thing adorable?  I don't know what its called, or where it originated, but I received it in a swap at Baltimore's Regional event this past April.  It will fit two Hershey Kisses or one Nugget candy. 

Here's our July Club version...

Start with a 4 x 4 piece of DSP

Score at 1 1/2 x 2 1/2 on one edge

Score lines are enhanced with a red sharpie so you can see them

Score at 1" and 3" on the other edge

And, you need to score the corners like shown in red

Fold up on score lines

Add two punch outs with an oval punch and clip together

Here's the grown-up version...

This one will hold a whole lot of chocolate, a handful of tags or even a few notecards.

Start with 12 x 12 piece of DSP

Score at 3" and 9" on one edge

Score at 5" and 7" on the other edge

Score in the corners as shown

(Ignore the score lines that are NOT in red--those were boo-boo's)

Crease and fold up

To close your box, create a topper that is 4 x 6 folded in half

Add ribbon and stamping as you wish 

Supplies:

Label Love, Petite Pairs Stamp Sets

Gumball Green, Early Espresso Ink

Crumb Cake, Very Vanilla, Summer Starfruit Cardstock

Soho Subway, Epic Day DSP

Extra Large Oval, Artisan Label Punch

Summer Starfruit, Natural Trim Ribbons

July Stamp Club Swaps

Here's a few card swaps from this month's stamp club meeting...



July Stamp Club: Open Seas

Flowers and butterflies are my favorite stamps, but this month's projects are for the guys.  They deserve something hand-made too!  Here are two masculine cards using Open Seas and Nautical Expressions from the Summer Mini Catalog.

Some cards from the Rubber Duckies....

Happy Stamping!  Bye for now, Maria
