Seashore Stampers Meeting Make & Takes & WINNER Announcement


Last Saturday I hosted our Stampin' Up Team meeting, and usually two or three of us will prepare Make & Takes.A few days I ago I showed you what I had planned for my Make & Take, and today I will show you the other two that were prepared for us to make.

First is a sweet little Post-It-Note cover shared by Mi Ran. Isn't it sweet! The little pens she got from Staples Office Supplies.


Side view...


When you take the pen out, it looks like this (below) and is easier to open the booklet.


How did we make the little feather? It was created by using one of the leaves from the Botanical Builder die set and feathering it with scissors.


The cutting and scoring measurements are written in the photo below. And to create the pen holder, you fold along the center scored line and with scissors cut just to the next scored line at about 1 1/8" from the top and then from the bottom.

Next, you adhere those same 1 1/8" sections that are closest to the back (the largest cover section), down onto the back (the largest cover section), and there you have your little booklet with pen holder.


These were so easy and fun to make! Thank you Mi Ran.


The next Make & Take was provided by Bruni, casing a card from the 2016 Occasions Catalogue. A quick and easy CAS (clean and simple) card using the flourish from the First Sight stamp set.


I Love the washi tape we put on the side. I decided to off stamp the flourish first so that the sentiment would stand out a bit better.


Thank you Bruni.

Well that's it for the Make & Takes from our last team meeting. Thank you for stopping by to have a look.

Seashore Stampers Make & Take

As Stampin' Up! Demonstrators, we get together in 'Downline' meetings and 'VanIsle' meetings. You can't help but make friends at these meetings. So our group of six decided to start getting together regularly and call ourselves 'Seashore Stampers'! We take turns hosting, bring potluck for our lunch, discuss ways to be better Demonstrators, teach each other new techniques, and have a couple of Make & Takes each time we get together.

This time I provided a Make & Take. I had two ideas, but didn't know which one to pick. So I made them both and sent my friends a photo of each taking a vote. The winner ended up being the butterfly card. However, I did not want to disappoint those that voted for the World Traveler/Number of Years card either. So I decided, since it is Easter, to create the butterfly kits for the M&T and make the other card as an Easter gift for each of my friends.

Let me show you the 'gift' card first.


I love these soft and 'subtle' colours!


I fussy cut the lovely stamped flowers from the "Number of Years" stamp set and popped it up over the latitude inspired banner strips, that are also popped up.


And on the inside a few more of those lovely flowers.


The "Number of Years" stamp set is part of the 2016 Occasions Catalogue which expires May 31st. So, if you love the look of this stamp set, don't take too long to get it! Below are some of the products used to make this card.
(Scroll down to the Butterfly card)
This is the card that was voted in for our Make & Take. This card is actually cased from Joy Taylor on pinterest. Thank you Joy for creating such a lovely card.


Just love these bright colours!



Just a peek of a butterfly for the inside.

Since this card measure 5 1/2"w x 3 1/2"h, we also used the Envelope Punch Board to create a good fitting envelope. Below are the products used to make this card (I did, however, forget to include the envelope punch board).
We had a great meeting and tossed some great ideas around. Thank you for stopping by to have a look.

Happy stamping!

VanIsle Meeting Make & Takes

REMINDER - Today is the last day to take advantage of the 15% off stamp sale!


I only made four of the Make & Takes at our VanIsle SU Meeting last Saturday, and these are they.

This first one is a technique I had already planned to use and teach, in the new year, in one of my classes.


This next one is one have already done and may have been cased from mine...


This one is so bright and cheery, I had to make it. Plus, I love this bundle!


Someone on the team I'm on shared this Make & Take. It was fun creating the little scene in the circle, and the folded ruffle too.


Being Make & Takes, the insides aren't done. But I still plan to do that. Hope you have some inspiration for your Christmas cards from these ones.

ADDED: Someone asked for the measurements of the ruffle.

Cut Strip - 7 3/8" w  x 3" h
Angle  - measure from left 2 1/2" and make a mark. On right measure 1 1/2" from top and mark. Cut from mark to mark to create the angle.
Score - With 7 3/8" across top of Simply Scored Tool, score @ 2 1/2", 3 1/2", 5", & 6".
Accordion fold along score lines. Looks better if you DO NOT use the bone folder.

Happy Stamping!
