Fresh Cuts Tote

Hi Stampers! I started feeling a little under weather last night when I got home, and unfortunately I had to cancel my workshops for this weekend. I didn't want to, but my body has been really achy and I've had a headache all day today. So apologize for the inconvenience and I hope to reschedule soon! Okay, now on to the project.

The final project we made at Sandy's Fresh Cuts workshop was this cute little tote to hold the Fresh Cut Notes. You could give this away by itself or include it with all the Fresh Cut Notes, as a gift. It is made out of three pieces of the Tea Party Designer Series Paper. The instructions Sandy provided for us were very easy to follow and so this little tote was quick and easy to assemble. We punched out the top of the tote using the brand NEW Eyelet Border Punch. It's similar to the Scallop Edge Punch and adds a very nice and elegant look to your cards and projects.

The front of the tote is decorated with just the front piece of the Fresh Cut Notes card. We again used the Stampin' Up! Backgrounds 1 Texturz Plate for the front of the card and attached a piece of the Tea Party Designer Series Paper to the back of it, peeking through the flower. The flower is embellished with the flower image from the coordinating Fresh Cuts Stamp Set, which was stamped onto Almost Amethyst Cardstock and then cut out. It is attached using a Purple Rhinestone Brad. This is all layered to a piece of So Saffron Cardstock and then we tied a piece of the dyed 5/8" Whisper White Organza Ribbon around the card and tucked it under the front flaps of the tote. The handles for the tote also uses the 5/8" Whisper White Organza Ribbon which was dyed using Almost Amethyst ink. That's it! Your little tote is now ready to be given away!

Fresh Cuts Card #4

Hi Stampers! Here is the final card we made from the Fresh Cuts Class. Isn't it a beauty?! This is meant to be a Wedding Card, and is absolutely my favorite card of the four we made that night. As with all the other cards, this one is another quick and easy card to put together. Again, the front of the card was embossed using the Stampin' Up! Backgrounds 1 Texturz Plates and the Big Shot. We also attached a flower from the Pretties Kit using the mini glue dots and adhered a half pearl also from the Pretties Kit, with a mini glue dot. The sentiment was stamped using the Silver Encore Ink Pad.

I'm not sure if you can see the detail of the Dazzling Diamonds we added to peek through the flowers so here's a close up. I hope you are able to see it better. It is really beautiful in real life! :o) This was also very easy to accomplish! We attached a square piece of Sticky Sheet to the front of the card removing both sides of the sticky sheet so that on the inside of the card we could layer a piece of Whisper White Cardstock to cover the Sticky Sheet. Then on the front of the card, the Sticky Sheet peeked through the petals of the flower and we sprinkled Dazzling Diamonds on it. The last step was to tie the 5/8" Whisper White Organza Ribbon around the front of the card and voila! You now have a quick and easy, yet elegant Wedding Card!

Fresh Cuts Card #3

Hi Stampers! Today I am sharing with you the third card we made at Sandy's house for her Fresh Cuts Class. For this particular card, we used the Fresh Cut Notes and the coordinating stamp set, Fresh Cuts. To be honest, I've had this set for a year now and never used it but after making this card I love it! The front panel on the Fresh Cut Notes is stamped with the background image from the Fresh Cuts Stamp Set, in Pink Pirouette Ink. The Pink Pirouette Cardstock peeking through the flower is embossed once again with the Stampin' Up! Backgrounds 1 Texturz Plate. We also stamped the small flower from the Fresh Cuts Stamp Set onto Pink Pirouette Cardstock and cut it out. It was then adhered to the front of the flower with a small White Brad. The final step was to tie the Whisper White Organza Ribbon around the front panel. That's it! Easy right?

Fresh Cuts Class Card #1

Hi Stampers!

I attended this Fresh Cuts Class held at the home of Sandy Hancock's house. She is a fellow demonstrator and I am part of her first five levels of downline, and a member of her UdderlyAwesome Stampin' Group. Sandy also has a blog, so click here to check out some of her work.

Below is a picture of the projects we made. We actually made five cards and a cute little bag/tote to hold them. Unfortunately, I needed a quick birthday card for a friend so I gave it to her before getting a chance to take a picture of it with the others. Hence, the picture below only has four cards plus the bag.

I had a lot of fun making these cards using the Fresh Cut Notes, and they were so fast and easy to put together. Plus, I got to use the Big Shot and the new Big Shot Texturz Plates! These were super easy to use and really add an extra touch of elegance to your cardstock.

This first card is one of my favorites that we made that night because of the colors. The ribbon we used was the NEW 5/8" Whisper White Organza Ribbon. To dye the card, you simply drag the ribbon across the Almost Amethyst Classic Ink Pad using a sponge dauber. You do this to both sides of the ribbon, for several strokes, depending on how saturated you want your ribbon to be.

The background of the Fresh Cut Notes was done using the flower Texturz Plate from the Stampin' Up! Backgrounds 1. The Designer Series Paper that you see peeking through from behind the note card is from the Tea Party Designer Series Paper Pack. The small flower is from the Fresh Cuts stamp set, stamped onto Almost Amethyst cardstock and then cut out. It is adhered to the front of the card with a Lilac Circle Ice Brad. Easy Peasy, Lemon Squeezy! :o)
