For the Birds Stamp Camp

Gearing up for my next stamp camp that will focus on four cards with envelopes created with the new Stampin' Up stamp set for the birds.

I started with a basic gray card base and accented it with cherry cobbler and basic black. Both the gray and black card stock had  the perfect polka dot folder embossed in them. I also add a bit of detail with the new apothecary accents framelits...the perfect window for my stamped image. Final touch was adding the cherry cobbler ribbon to the front.

Want to create this card plus three more? Come to my next card class on the 21st of October. For a complete list of classes visit my website at www.stampwithlora.stampinup.net. Remember to stamp a little love!

Bitty Buttons

My next stamp camp is this Sunday and we will be having some fun with Bitty Buttons! Each class participant will receive a package of buttons with their class fee (visit www.stampwithlora.stampinup.net for a complete listing of my classes). This is one of the cards that we will be creating on Sunday.

The base is melon mambo with accents of daffodil delight, and rich razzleberry. I used the word window punch to punch out the sentiment and popped it up with dimensionals. Unfortunately, I used a retired punch along the edge--just loved the way it looks with the stamp set so I left it. Added the bitty buttons on the lace border with some linen thread and voila!

Hope to see you at my next stamp camp and remember to stamp a little love!

Altered flip flops

As I am gearing up for a cruise to the Caribbean, I thought I'd try to get my creativity flowing. I am making these adorable (if I may say so myself) flip flops for the 5 fabulous ladies I will be traveling with. I got the idea from a fellow demonstrator Barbara--thanks for sharing Barbara!They are simple to make. You start with a basic flip flop and adhere velcro to the "thong" part of the flip flop (see below).

Then comes the fun part! Making tons of flowers, ribbons etc add-ons that can be changed out to coordinate with their outfit of the day. Here are just 2 that I have made so far.

Just make sure to add the velcro to the back of the embellishments  so that they can change them out as often as they like. I used a hot glue gun to adhere the velcro. Stampin' Up has tons of fabrics to choose from that work great with the Big shot dies. What a great project for a little girls birthday party OR even an early release day!
