Just Believe Card & the Winners of the Class & Workshop Give-Away

My new stamps are in the house!  Woohoo!  I have been having an absolutely AMAZING time creating with all my new stuff.  In the last day and half I’ve been in a real stampin’ groove. It’s amazing how creativity starts flowing when you have new stuff to play with *LOL*.

Now instead of struggling to come up with card ideas, I’m having the opposite problem – I can’t stamp fast enough to keep up with all my ideas *lol*!  At least you know I’ll have LOTS to share with you over the next few weeks. 

Today’s card is a clean & simple card.  

1. Take a 5 1/2″ x 8 1/2″ piece of Crumb Cake CS (formerly Kraft CS) and fold it half with your bone folder.  
2. Scallop the bottom edge of the card with the Scallop Edge Border punch. 
3. Stamp the large silhouette flower stamp in Very Vanilla Craft ink across a 3 1/2″ x 5 1/4″ piece of Riding Hood Red CS. Set aside to dry.
4. Die cut the the label out of Very Vanilla CS using a Big Shot and the longest die from the Matbook Bigz XL die.
5. Stamp the greeting from Occasional Quotes (Level 3 hostess set) onto the Very Vanilla CS label in Basic Black Classic ink.  Use your Stamp-a-ma-jig if necessary.
6. Stick a medium cream half-back pearl on either side of the label using a mini glue dot for each (the pearls are from the Pretties kit – which is now unfortunately retired).
7. Center and stick the stamped Riding Hood Red CS piece to the Crumb Cake card front.
8. Take a 7″ piece of Chantilly 1/2″ Crochet Trim and lay it across the bottom of the Riding Hood Red CS.  Bring the ends of the trim around to the inside of the card front and stick them down.  Hide the ends of the ribbon by cutting a 3 1/2″ x 5 3/8″ piece of Very Vanilla CS and centering & sticking it on the inside of the card front.  Stick a second piece on the inside of the card.
9. Stick your label to the Riding Hood Red CS with Stampin’ Dimensionals.  Position it about 1/4″ above the trim and about 3/4″ in from the right edge of the card.  You’re done!

I hope you enjoyed today’s project!

The winners of the Serene Sunset Workshop Planner and the Watercolor Trio Class:

I’ve really got to stop designating Friday’s as the day that my winners are announced and move them to Monday’s.  Somehow by the end of the week there are so many little things that I need to wrap up before the weekend starts that announcing winners completely slips my mind.  So I apologize.  And from now on, Monday’s will be the day.

As a quick refresher, I am announcing the winners for the products shown in THIS post.

The five winners announced below win a copy of BOTH.  To claim your prize please email me at andrea@sunnystampin.com.  Be sure to state that you are the July Blog Winner, and please let me know in the body of your email whether you are a Stampin’ Up! Demonstrator or not.

And the winners are…….

Hi Andrea & Sophia! Love the preview tease of the Serene Sunset workshop planner (great name, btw) and the Watercolor Trio Class Planner is great! It’s great that you offer this service to demos – I’ve ordered a few in the past, some just for me, others to share with my set of stampers. Having all of the directions, suggestions, cost breakdowns really is helpful! I’d love to win this month’s set of projects (keeping my fingers crossed…).
