A Third Book Box ... and ... I don't believe that happened!

As for the "I don't believe that happened" --- it's about my blog.  Now that I'm a little more active lately, I was trying to get back to 5 -7 posts each week.  When I logged on to complete today's post, I realized that I'd gotten so busy yesterday that my third book box never was posted. 
In my head, it was all finished.  Oh well ... that's what happens when I'm still trying to catch up with updating my studio with our new AC.  What a job!  I'm almost finished with ribbons now and the punches are finished.  Each time my customers come here, you're going to find more goodies added to my sale. 
It's amazing what I have hung onto for so long!!!  I absolutely am not a hoarder though, because none of it is messy and there aren't any nasty things running around like on the TV show.  Yikes!  I don't want to see that show again!!!  So ... on to my third box.  I love it, too.
Love this text!
I'd be so sad that this gorgeous DSP has now retired, except for the fact that we have so many gorgeous new DSP additions that are really a joy to add to my projects.
The book base is Tranquil Tide.
I didn't take a photo of the inside of my box, but it is all lined with the same DSP.

Whole Lot of Lovely Card Trio

Today's post shares 3 of my favorite cards made with the wonderful Whole Lot of Lovely DSP.  This paper is just gorgeous.  Enjoy!
For the first card, I tinted my Embossing Paste with Peekaboo Peach Reinker and then stenciled it over just a part of the background.  This is a super easy way to add some great texture to your cards.





See what I mean?  This gorgeous DSP lends itself to beautiful and elegant cards and projects.  I didn't have room in the limited space for the 'labels' in my post to share which ribbons I used. 
They were:
- Stitched Satin ribbon --- Basic Black
- Finely Woven Ribbon --- Tranquil Tide
- Crinkled Seam Binding --- Peekaboo Peach

A Cute Little 4 X 4 Canvas

I have another artist canvas project for you today.  I created this one to coordinate and display with the 8 X 8 canvas I shared here.  Remember, we'll be making the 8 X 8 canvas at our October 9 Scraps and Prayers class.  I love how the two projects look when displayed together.
I fussy cut all the leaves and flowers from the Whole Lot of Lovely DSP.  They are attached using clear, matte Gesso.
Texture and dimension are added by sponging the edges of the canvas.  I loved creating this project.

I'm Getting Ready to Celebrate our Scraps and Prayers 8th Anniversary!

I'm feeling a little better and looking forward to some great classes for October.  I've tweaked my project plans a tiny bit and I think we'll have even more fun.  I decided to change the home decor project to something you can enjoy keeping out all year --- not just Fall --- a canvas like the one I have on my desk in my studio.  I've received so many compliments on mine that I know you'll love getting to create your own.  Here's our project.



Notice below that I've tweaked the October Saturday Stampers class a bit, as well.  Instead of all Christmas cards, I wanted to add a couple of Fall cards (since we didn't get to meet in September) and then the rest will be Christmas.  I know we'll have a great time!  I'll have sneak peeks for these cards soon.
October Classes:
October 9 -- Scraps and Prayers

Version 2 of Notepad Project and a Mini Tutorial

Today, I'm sharing a second version for a notepad project.  Enjoy!
Above:  the thin case, on top of the wide case.
Below:  the wide case holds 2 notepads, an RSVP pen, and a little memo book.
I bought the RSVP pens, the memo books and the notepads at Staples.  They cut down the notepads to fit the stamp cases.  I took a case with me, to be sure they were cut down enough.  The notepads look like miniature legal pads and the memo books look like miniature composition books.
Pen Tutorial:
- Unscrew the black end of the pen and remove the 'tube' of ink.
- Cut DSP to 3 1/2 X 1" and roll tightly into a tube.
- Insert the rolled DSP into the pen, reinsert the ink 'tube' and screw the end back onto it.
DSP Measurements for stamp case, notepad and memo books:
- Thin stamp case = 10 1/2 X 7"
- Wide stamp case = 11 1/4 X 7"
- Notepad topper = 5 X 2"
- Miniature composition book = 3 1/2 X 1"
Before slipping the DSP into the stamp case, decorate as you wish.  By adding the 'embellishments' directly to the DSP, it will be on the inside of your case, so you can carry the notepad case in your purse or brief case and it won't get dirty or torn.  Keep them flat --- no bumpy pieces to stick up and tear the cover on the stamp case. 
August Classes:

August 14 -- Scraps and Prayers
     5:30-7:30 / $15.00 -- book box with cards project. 

THERE WILL BE NO SATURDAY STAMPERS CLASS IN AUGUST.  CHECK BACK FOR SEPTEMBER DATES AND CLASSES.

Notepad Project

Thanks for all the well wishes, good thoughts and wonderful prayers for my recovery after my recent surgery.  It means a lot to me.  I'm getting a little better each and every day.  And now, let's take a look at today's project.
 
Here's a fun project you can enjoy making in your own stamping and crafting space.  It's an empty stamp case --- the size we use for our clear mount stamps.  You'll need your favorite sheet of DSP, some ribbon and an RSVP pen, as well as a notepad cut to fit into the case.  Then you can choose how you'd like to decorate the front and add that to your finished project.  What's the best thing about this project?  All the embellishments and/or stamped pieces are inside the protective plastic, so you can carry your notepad with you in your purse or briefcase and it won't get ruined.

Because our DSP is double sided, once you slip the cut piece under the protective plastic on the stamp case, you automatically have decorated the inside of your case, too.
Adding a strip of DSP over the top of the notepad pulls the entire project together.  I don't have a photo of the RSVP Pen in this post, but I will share it in my next post, along with another version of this project ... a deluxe version.  Also, in my next post, I'll have all the dimensions for cutting the DSP pieces for the stamp cases (2 sizes), the pen and the note pad toppers.
