I'm so excited to be sharing my love of stamping at a Big Brothers Big Sisters craft night event tonight! I think the Big Sisters and Little Sisters are going to have a blast! Thanks so much to my stamping friend, Debbie Groulik, for coordinating the festivities!
We'll be doing two projects, including a card similar to the Cupcake Punch Purses Card I posted about in May. Here are the two versions I created for this event…
I have my original card shown to the right and the previous post has all the details.
In addition to creating a vertical card sample, I also took off the Tasteful Trim to simplify the card, and decided to use Cherry Cobbler instead of Riding Hood Red. I like the bold, crisp richness of Cherry Cobbler with this design much better.
And, if the girls don't like purses, they can always make cupcakes instead!
You may notice that the Create A Cupcake and You're A Gem stamp sets I've used are not currently available because they were in the Spring Occasions Mini, but they WILL be in the new catalog coming out on July 1! Woohoo!

- Stamps—Create A Cupcake (in the new catalog!), You're A Gem (in the new catalog!), Bella Toile (retiring)

Our second project tonight is an Emboss Resist Altered DVD Case Journal. Everyone will have a choice between making either the blue/brown floral "gratitude" version, or the purple/pink "rock on" monogrammed version.
I already posted about the first project, so you can see all the details on how to create it on this post: Floral Embossed DVD Case Gratitude Journal.
The second version is created the very same way using the same emboss resist technique, different stamp images and an array of purples, including the new Wisteria Wonder!
I used the retiring Lap of Luxury Designer Paper to cover the notepad top, and a sentiment from Word Play on the inside cover.
Which one do YOU like best? I'd love to hear your comments below!
