Chloe's First Birthday!

charitysstampingstudio.blogspot.com All Images Copyright Stampin' Up!


I love the Stampin' Up! Designer Rosette Die for the Big Shot!


Yes, I really did make all of those little tutu cupcake picks, with a friend's help!

I miss the Build A Bear items that retired from Stampin' Up! But they were too cute, I had to use them for Chloe's invitation.

I'm pretty sure, this proves that I have issues...

Saturday in the Studio: Whoops!

There wasn't a post last Saturday, because I have been crazy busy getting ready for the Stampin' Up! incentive trip to Fiji! I'm super excited but there's so much to do! Right now, I'm trying to finish my card swaps for the trip. Gotta run, pics will come later :)

Saturday in the Studio: Masculine Projects

I whipped these up on Friday for one of my brothers, for his birthday. (Hey, my family likes all of my "paper gifts"!)

I LOVE the Stampin' Up! stamp set "Open Sea" it's great for guy cards/gifts! (Unfortunately we don't carry the matching paper anymore though.)Link for Open Sea stamp set

I gotta say, I'm proud of how I jazzed up the paper trays!

Saturdays in the Studio: Coffee Can / Trash Can

Today, I made three matching tabletop trash cans out of coffee cans!

Why three? One for each of my class tables, to hold the paper scrap trash that amasses during my classes. (Thank you Beverly Jacobson for the original idea).

Saturday in the Studio: Chloe's Banner!

I finished Chloe's Banner today, it turned out so pretty!

I'm going to hang it on the wall in her room.
I dyed the silver glimmer paper pink, using an ink refill and a sponge dauber. I think next time I'll use an aqua painter though!

Friday Stamper's Club

We had fun at Friday's Stamper's Club!

It's so much fun to have mother/daughter stamping time!

Everyone loved making the springy cards.

I'm pretty sure the card on the right was the favorite though!

I love stamping with these gals they are a blast!

All of us at my big messy class table.

Saturdays in the Studio: Chloe's Corner

Introducing: "Chloe's Corner" , projects related to my little baby girl! Today, I'm working on a garland for her room to hang on the wall over her crib. It will have her name spelled out across it, (Chloe Jane) when I'm done! Pics to follow soon...

Saturday in the Studio : Before and After

This card was a swap I received from Stampin' Up's! Leadership conference. I FULLY intended to "stick to the sample" for my completed card...
But, here's what emerged instead. I love this card! It turned out so vintage, and yet fresh for spring. So much for "sticking to the sample".

Shabby Chic Studio Banner Pics!

The completed banner hanging above my desk...

A close-up of the banner...

Basically, if something is going to be "Shabby Chic" to me, it has to have three elements. These elements are: pink roses, blue birds, and green somewhere in the theme.

My banner banner has all of those elements.  :)

I wanted to show off some of the details. I stamped on the letters, then used an embossing folder on them.

I love making 3D flowers! They always provide the wow factor.

Saturday in the Studio, Banners!

Today's studio project is a shabby chic banner for my studio! I love making these garlands because they are so fun and easy! All you need is:
-chipboard/cardboard
-scrapbook paper and cardstock
-glue stick
-Big Shot dies, to do the pennant shape and the letters
When I finish the banner it will say "Charity's Stamping Studio". I'm going to hang it over my desk from the curtain rod. Pics to follow...

All Dressed Up "Must Have" Class Pics

The prep that goes into one of my classes...

Christina and Carissa with their "store front dress cards".

They both did such a great job on the cards!

Doris did her card different than my sample, and it turned out so pretty.

I think her card was my favorite. (I love the bow with the clock trinket!)

Sheri, proudly displaying her pop up dress card.

I love this new pop up die for the Big Shot!

A faster way to scrapbook!

I have always started my scrapbooks by taking the photos and designing the layouts around the photos. Lately, I've created the layouts first (even for an entire album), based on the basic color scheme of the photos. Then filled in the layouts with the photos. The result? Scrapbooking made fast! What about you, how do you scrapbook?
