Over the last week I have been busy doing three Christmas SAS's. I have also been making quite a lot of cards using the Tree Trimmings set to five the girls lots of ideas.
Now that the SAS's are over I would like to share the cards that we made with the Tree Trimmings set available in the current Stampin' Up! Spring Mini.
With my SAS this time, everyone had to pre-purchase the set and it was included in the price of the actual SAS. It made it so much easier as everyone had their own set to work with on the day and the girls loved it as they had the stamp set to take home at the end of the day.
Now the most important tool that we used in this SAS was the Stamp-a-ma-jig. We used it on both cards and it was a big hit as everyone now knows how to used it properly and really it is an invaluable tool with stamping and card making. I highly recommend that it be a part of everyone's basic tool kit. Also you should purchase some Card Stock Vellum and then you can stamp up a template for each one of your stamp sets and leave it in the case with the actual set.
The base card of the above card is Baja Breeze and the other card uses wais Whisper White, Night of Navy and Kiwi Kiss. Ink colours are exactly the same except the bows were done with Basic Black. Punches were Scallop Oval, Large Oval and the Horizontal Slot punch. The Stampin' Around Wheel is Baroque Border and we got it lovely and straight using the Wheel Guide. Ribbon is Kiwi Kiss Striped Grosgrain. It's a bit hard to see but I also used Dazzling Diamonds on the Baja Breeze bauble.
The base card on this one is Not Quite Navy and then we used Whisper White also. Ink is also Not Quite Navy and the bow was done with Going Grey. Punches were the 1.1/4" and 1.3/8" Squares and the Fabulous Eyelet Border Punch. The original card had 1/4" White Grosgrain on it but I changed mine this morning and put 1" White Organdy on it. This is not a Stampin' Up! ribbon but I think it looks way better with a larger bow on it then the original woosie knot that we did in the SAS. Sorry to all the ladies who came to my SAS's but you are most welcome to rip yours off and change them also ... if you would like. Also hard to see on this card is the bling. There are three diamantes on the bauble itself. Ooh and the gorgeous letters are from the Lovely Letters Stampin' Up! set.
