Do you know what a Brayer is? If so, do you own one? Check out the cool projects you can creating using one!
I taught these FUN Techniques at my September Club Class this month. I wrote up a cool Tutorial for my Club Members- with step by step photos.
Below is an adorable Halloween Gift Card (3 x 3) using a Brayer and the Bubble Wrap Technique. (The Brayer can be found on page 192)
The cards below were created using a Brayer and the Masking Technique.
The Stampin' Up! stamp set used in the next three cards is: Pocket Silhouettes.
The first card is a 3 x 3 note card.
The next two cards were made using the Designer Series Paper Autumn Traditions. I used two sheets, and since our Stampin' Up! Designer sheets are double sided, you can see all four designs. I love them all, don't you?
The stamp sets used were: Hostess Level #3 Kind & Caring Thoughts and Great Friends.
The double sided Designer Series Paper - Autumn Traditional is found on page 160
Be sure to order on line HERE 24/7 by clicking my 'Shop Now' link - so you can start your Fall, Halloween and Thanksgiving Cards soon!
It only takes 7 business days to receive your products.
Have a wonderful day!

Our September Swap Theme was using the Stampin' Around Wheel on a 3D Package (such as box, bag, pouch or gift card etc.) I'm excited to share the unique swaps the ladies made!
First up is a Christmas pouch created by: Stacy Simin
I love the sponging effects Stacy created as well as the Dazzling Diamond Glitter she put on the snowflake:)
Have a wonderful weekend!

I just LOVE my Big Shot! It does not replace the love I have for my Stampin' Up! stamps, but this unique easy to use tool works side by side.
My Stamper's Club Swap Theme this month was: Decorating a box, bag or shopping bag with a tag using a Stampin' Around Wheel (which can be stamped, if they do not own a wheel yet)
Materials Used:
- Big Shot & Scallop Circle Die
- Stampin' Around: Regular Size Handle, Wheel called Retro Remix & Ruby Red Ink Cartridge (& Wheel Guide)
*Tip: I picked the same color ink cartridge as cardstock, so the wheel design would be visible but not subtle. It is much like a watermark but deeper.
- Stamp Set: Hello Again (I received both Wheel & Stamp Set while attending the 2009 Stampin' Up! Cconvention in SLC, UT this past August)
- Cardstock: Confetti White, Garden Green, Ruby Red,
- Accessories:Crop-A-Dile & Gold Brads, Gold Cording, Grosgrain Ribbon, Snail Adhesive, Sticky strip, Paper Cutter & Paper Snips - and always the Stampin' Scrub & Stampin' Mist for easy clean up! :)
Non-Stampin' Up! Product: Small White Bag
Just change the color of the Scallop Circle you die cut and think of ALL the possibilities for making this adorable gift bags!
My dear friend & stamping buddy, Pam lost her battle to Cancer last week. She fought long and hard, but is now in peace with the Lord.
She was a wonderful sharing member of my stamping team, but was very sad when she had to drop her demonstrtorship. I assured her, she would still enjoy stamping! Pam became once again, a wonderful and fun customer. It was such a joy to spend time with her.
We made monthly playdates we both looked forward to. The past two months, she was not able to come over but we keep in touch via phone and email. The medicine she was on, took so much out of her, but she always bounced back.
When I received the call from Diane, Pam's friend last week, with the sad news, I listened to what she was saying. She shared how she and others really wanted to stamp and make something to hand out but they didn't know what to do. I immediately asked if I could help. Diane was very appreciative.
I wanted to create some kind of keepsake reminder of Pam's love of life - who was a wife, mother and friend to so very many. She touched every life she met with love and kindness.
I did not want to put any dates on these 300+ keepsakes I was making. I wanted them to put a smile on a face when looked at, not sadness in a heart.
I decided to create magnet page holders for a Bible or books - which also can stand on a window sill, desk or dress.
It simply has her name on it and below 'Live, Laugh & Love'. I used the 2-step stamp set she loved called - Flower Fancy.
May love surround all who knew Pam Parker now and forever. We were blessed to have her in our lives.
God Bless!
Love,
Lois Folla
