Stampin' Up! OnStage Display Board Entry

Merry Christmas Everyone, sharing some projects (some new and some old) for an entry to Stampin' Up! for the opportunity to stamp projects for the OnStage display boards for the April Event. 

I am going to the Perth Event and I am looking forward to catching up with everyone and also meeting some new faces.  These events are rather exciting as we get to see and try the new products in the next annual catalogue.  We also receive training tips and tricks and one of my favourites is the swapping of projects. 

We have to make 3 cards, 1 scrapbooking page and 2 3D items for our entry.

Cards

My first card is one I made using the Shaving Cream with a Sparkle technique by Kim Jolley.  This technique gives a great marble finish with the added sparkle of gold embossing.  I added the circles from the Playful Backgrounds stamp set to finish the background.

A piece of Basic Black Shimmery Ribbon and Gold Sequin Trim was added to the card front.  I than adhere a Scalloped Circle and a Stitched Shape Circle together and adhere them on top of the ribbons using dimensionals.

I cut out the number 21 using the Large Number Framelits and adhered these to the circle.  The word ‘Again’ from the Number of Years stamp set was stamped on a piece of Whisper White cardstock using Black Momento ink and punched out using the Classic Label Punch.  I cut the ends close to the word to give straight edges and adhered this across the number ‘1’ using dimensionals.

I think this makes a great card for the guys in our life.

My second card is a one of my favourite Christmas Cards this year, using the Seasonal Chums and also the Brightly Lit Christmas stamp sets along with the matching  Seasonal Tags Framelits and the Christmas Lamppost Thinlits.   I coloured the snowman with the new Stampin' Blends, love the depth they give to the image with the shading.

My third card uses the gorgeous Painted Harvest stamp set, Painted Autumn Designer Series Paper and the Leaf Punch.  There was a bit of fussy cutting for this card.

Scrapbook Page

The True Gentleman Designer Series Paper was just perfect to create this scrapbook page of one of my favourite photos of my Dad.  This picture was taken in 1948 when my Dad was 21 years old, he was such an amazing Dad and sadly he passed 8 years ago but we have such precious memories of him.

I used a lot of the products from the True Gentleman suite on this page.  The buttons add a great embellishment and I used two of them to back the word 'My' onto. 

3D Items

My first 3D items is one I made about 4 weeks ago.  It is a little gift box I designed for a small tube of hand cream from the Body Shop.  I used the Painted Autumn Designer Series Paper.  This gorgeous paper has a sheet with the daisy flowers and I cut one of these out for the decoration on the little box.  

I made this box to match the card, great little gift set.

My second 3D project is one I posted last week.  I decorated one of the Mini Pizza Boxes and made six matching Christmas Tags. This is a terrific little project to make for someone special.  You can give them a little box of Christmas Tags and when they have used the tags they have a gorgeous little gift box that they can use to package a gift.

I used the "Oh, What Fun" stamp set from the annual catalogue on this project.

The little gift box is made using one of the Mini Pizza Boxes, with a strip of Year of Cheer Specialty Designer Series paper 5cm x 25.3cm (or 2" x 10") wrapped around to create a belly band.  A 8.3cm x 8.3cm (or 3 1/4" x  3 1/4") square of Gold Foil Sheet was adhere to this.  A 7.6cm x 7.6cm (or 3" x 3") scalloped square of Year of Cheer Specialty Designer Series Paper is adhered to this.  A gold Foil Snowflake is then added and the Stitched Shaped Oval with the 'Merry Christmas" sentiment Gold heat embossed is adhere to this using dimensionals.  How quick and easy is this little box.

I made six tags and included two of each design in the box.  I have given the instructions for the tags in inches (you can adapt them to cm if you prefer).  I just found it easier to cut the Designer Series Paper for this project using inches.

Tag 1

DSP - 3" x 2"

Gold Foil Sheet - 3" x 1"

Adhere the Gold Foil Sheet to the DSP and punch using the Tag Topper Punch.  Using the Triple Banner Punch create the flag end (Tip - I did not push it all the way through, I turned the punch over and lined up the edge before punching this way you do not waste the DSP).

Stamp the image on Whisper White using Versamark ink and Gold heat emboss.  Punch out using the Every Day Label Punch.  Adhere to the tag using dimensionals.  Add Whisper White Baker's Twine to the tag to finish.

Tag 2

Stamp the image on a piece of Whisper White cardstock and Gold heat emboss.  Cut out using a Stitched Shaped Circle.  Using the Starburst Punch punch out a piece of DSP.  Layer the circle on this and add a Gold Foil Sheet star to the top cut using the die from the Trim Your Stocking Thinlits.  Punch a small hole in the top and add a piece of Whisper White Baker's Twice.  Add two stars from the Metallic Enamel Shapes to finish.

Tag 3

Cut a 2 1/2"x 2 1/2" DSP scallop square. Stamp the image on a piece of Whisper White cardstock and Gold heat emboss.  Cut out using the 2 1/8" x 2 1/8" Stitched Shape Square.  Layer these two pieces together.  Punch a Gold Foil piece using the Circle Tab Punch.  Adhere this to the tag top and add a star cut from Gold Foil Sheet using the die from the Trim Your Stocking Thinlits.  Punch a hole and add a piece of Whisper White Baker's Twine to finish.

Tag 4

DSP - 3" X 2".  Punch with Tag Topper Punch.  Add Whisper White Baker's Twine to the tag top.

Cut a gold snowflake from Gold Foil Sheet using the die from the Seasonal Layers Thinlits.  Adhere this to the tag top.

Tag 5

DSP 3" X 2" - Punch end with Triple Banner Punch.  Add a Gold Foil Sheet star to the top of the tag.  This is made using the die from the Trim Your Stocking Thinlits.  Punch a hole in the star and add a piece of Whisper White Baker's Twine.

Punch a Gold Foil banner using the die from the Bunch of Banners Framelits.  Adhere this to the tag top.

Stamp the image using Versamark ink on a piece of Whisper White cardstock and Gold heat emboss.  Cut out using a Stitched Shaped Oval and adhere to the tag top using dimensionals to finish.
