Amazing WOW projects with Hey Chuck; Part 2

August 4, 2023

Each month one of my Flowerbug's Team is featured as an Artist of the Month. For July Annette chose the adorable Hey Chuck bundle seen here. I know you'll be amazed at her fabulous projects I'll be sharing.

First up today is a stunning framed sampler.

Just look at her incredible scenes! I think the bit of blue behind each image sets them off incredibly.

Sampler details:

She used Azure Afternoon ink and blending brushes to add a bit of blue behind her die-cut rooster scenes.
The designer paper behind it all is the Masterfully Made designer series paper seen here.
She colored the images with Blends markers and popped them up on the squares.
Her 4 white squares measure 2 5/8", colored squares are 2 3/4" and the black are 2 7/8" squares
The black frame is 9" in size; the glass opening is 7 1/2"

Here's the Hey Chuck bundle she used. The dies are back now and available!

Look at this hilarious rooster! And the perfect greeting for him…..

Save

She used the Dots & Spots die for her background and that strip of the Masterfully Made DSP is a perfect addition to this card and her color choices. The white on white theme makes the image pop!

The dimension she achieved by popping up the rooster and the greeting with Dimensionals makes such a difference to this card.

Details:

Dots & Spots white layers are 5" X 3 3/4", Pumpkin Pie layer is 5 1/8" X 3 7/8"
Stitched circle is from the Stylish Shapes dies
DSP strip is 4" X 1"

Next is a fun fold card featuring the Glorious Gingham designer paper.

Save

She got the idea from Karen Titus. The DSP is 6" square and you score and cut it to fold in on itself. Here's what it looks like when it's closed up:

I'll be sharing how to make one of these cards very soon!

More to come tomorrow!

Over $1800 donated to Minot charities with our big stamping sale Saturday

August 10, 2022
As many of you know we hold a big paper crafting sale in June of each year where my customers can sell their excess or unwanted stamping items. This year we added a second sale that we held on Saturday. Why? Sadly one of my best friends passed away last fall and together with her family we sold her collection of stamping & scrapbooking items.

Here's a picture of some of it!

Save

We did add some items that were generously donated by my customers from the big June sale. 100% of this sale was donated to charities in Minot.

Click on the bold names below to read about them. Feel free to donate to any of these non-profits if you'd like to.
- Matthew 25 – a nonprofit that seeks to match gifts of clothing and household items with those in need in our community at no cost.
- Hairball Haven – non-profit feline rescue. We primarily pull cats and kittens from the Minot, ND
- Project Bee – has provided overnight housing for women at local motels and apartments for chronically homeless women with mental health issues.
The craft items were marked down drastically and people noticed! Not many items were over $3 and the majority was .25 – .50 cents! Our goal was to sell as much as we could to raise money for our charities. It was the biggest success we've ever had at a sale! I am still in awe and shock at how fast the items sold. Over $1800 will be donated to these amazing organizations.

My friend was a nurse and amazingly kind & generous. She would be so happy to know we used her craft items to support others in need in our city.

We had so little left; just 6 small boxes! And the leftovers will go towards another group of ladies that make cards for prison inmates, elderly & others in need. Their group is called Folding Angels.

I apologize to those of you who could not take part due to long distance or poor timing. I know it's a tease and I'm sorry about that. But I did want to share it with you.

Special thanks to my friend Clarisse's daughter, Devin, who helped gather and sort the items to be sold. Also to my faithful and generous helpers that spent hours marking & sorting – Marilyn, Lori, Pat, Becky & Joanne plus the many that helped at the sale. It would not have been a success without the many hours of help and guidance you provided.

Simple stamping with the Simply Fabulous set & Silver & Gold DSP

August 9, 2022

I shared fun ways to use the Silver & Gold DSP on last week's Facebook Live video. See the video here.

Save

I stamped directly onto this foil printed DSP with the Simply Fabulous stamp set seen here. I chose it because of it's bold, solid images.

I decided to feature the newest In Colors – Parakeet Party, Sweet Sorbet & Tahitian Tide. If you love bright, eye catching colors you need these 2-22-24 In Colors! Most of you know I love color coordination; it's why I love Stampin' Up! They have everything from card stock, ink, markers, ribbon to gems in these colors. See them all here.

The greeting is stamped on a die-cut from the Beautiful Shapes dies seen here. I love the unique and playful shape of it.
