Spirelli Technique - Stampin' Up! Style

CASEd from Jan Hoyt

     When I first saw this card I immediately wanted to learn how to make the spiral on the front.  Then I just wanted to make the card.  I fell in love with this card immediately!  But, before I could make this card, I HAD to find the demonstrator who made it.  It didn't take long before I found her - Jan Hoyt!  Not only did I find out who made the card, but I also found her email address and told how much I LOVED her card.  She gave credit a few other demonstrators who did very different cards, but who's ideas she put into her card.  So one can say this card is a creation of many.  I love when that happens!

     Not only did I like this card using Island Indigo, but I wanted to see what it would look like in Calypso Coral.  What did you think?

CASEd from Jan Hoyt

     I love both cards!  I think this card wold be gorgeous in any color you choose.  I love it when a card design is that versatile.  More for your money!  GREAT concept!

Christmas Gift Stampin' Up! Style

     For close friends this year, I wanted to make them a very useful and practical gift.  When I saw these cute Post-It notes holders, I knew they were just the gift I was looking for.

     These also make wonderful teacher, secretary, & house warming gifts.

     Below are the ones I made this year.  Under each picture I've stated the colors I used on that particular one.  I will give the rest of the recipe at the end.

Pool Party, Island Indigo, & Whisper White

Cajun Craze, Always Artichoke, & Very Vanilla

Old Olive, Certainly Celery, & Whisper White

Early Espresso, Daffodil Delight, & Whisper White

Blushing Bride, Bravo Burgundy, & Very Vanilla

RECIPE:

STAMPS:  Four Frames & Mini Mates (retired)


TOOLS:  Decorative Label Punch, Ticket Corner Punch, & Stamp-a-ma-jig

NON-STAMPIN' UP! ITEMS:  3 X 5 acrylic photo frame & Post-It Notes (in various colors)

*NOTE*  Even though I used all the same sized frames, they were not all sized the same.  To ensure my paper wasn't too small, I cut each one separately - cutting them a little big to start.  I would measure the actual frame and add 1/8".  This usually worked - I didn't want my paper smaller than the frames.  Sometimes I cut it down slightly and other times I did not.  Each frame was different.

     I hope this project is one you will find quick and easy to make.  For me, it will end up boing one of those type of projects that I have a bunch made on hand for whenever I need a quick little gift.

Happy Monday!

     This card was a card I made with my upline, Sally Chuchman.  Her idea is simply gorgeous!

     This is one of those cards you can use for any occasion.  All you need to do is switch up the sentiment.
