What do you do with Designer Series Paper or Scrapbooking Card stock that’s left over?

Published on by Michele Jutrisa Category: Project life, Uncategorized

For those of us that are Demonstrators with Stampin’ Up! & DSP has retired but still have some left over

or

you have a collection of printed Cardstock & you are not sure how you are going to use it all.

or

 you now do Project Life and don’t need all that 12 x 12 card stock.

I have a few ideas…

  1. Sell it on Ebay or sale/swap sites (following the SU Manual)
  2. Give it away to schools or preschools
  3. Give as a gift to young girls (or boys) that love to do crafts
  4. Cut it into 10 x 15cm ( 4 x 6″) pieces to use as Project Life Cards

I have done all of these over the years except for No.4..Project Life Cards, until today.

Over this weekend I have started catching up on getting my photo’s sorted.

Usually I would recommend with starting with the most recent photos as these you can remember the details.

But I’m not taking my own advise here….I have started at 2008.

One of my previous post explains this a little…..

while sorting photo’s for my sons 21st I came across photos that showed a milestone event that happened in out lives.

I ways meant to put them in an album but like most of us I hadn’t got around to it.

Now I’m working on catching up these lost years…which makes for lots of pages to do.

So to get back to the excess card stock……

 I have started my Project Life album from 2008..

so I will need lots of Cards to fill a few gaps.

So I have cut up some of my Card stock (DSP) into 10 x 15cm (4 x 6 “) pieces.

They are there ready to go when I need them…

I have also spent a little bit of time organising my Project Life trolly,

I have taken the lid and placed it behind the base and put a rubber band around them to keep them together.

This allows for extra storage for the Accessories packs you can purchase to go with your cards and keeps them together in families.

In some of box lids where I don’t have the  accesories left I have placed the DSP I have cut.

Its all ready to go..whether I’m working at the dinning room table or in my office…

Happy Project Life-ing!

 

Project Life and catching Up!

Last weekend we celebrated my eldest son’s 21st……Aaron 21 collage

It was a great night and thanks to a great lot of friends and family, it will be very memorable.

We framed some photo’s taken of Aaron through out the years and hung them on the back fence.

But in finding these photos I went through

many photo albums that I had temporarily put the photo’s with the plain of scrapbooking them.

That never happened, like most of us I’d say.

When going through the albums I came across photo’s I had taken in 2008. We had moved into a caravan while renovating our house.

This had taken place about a week before Aaron’s 13th Birthday.

So its about time I did something about it……so I’ve made a start and here are the first 2 pages…

One Word of advise….get your photos done now don’t wait until the memories are fading…..

Global Design Project #028 | CASE the Designer

Published on by Michele Jutrisa Category: GDP Challeges

This week we get to CASE the incredible Jessica Williams.

Jess is on the Stampin’ Up!® Artisan Design team and is from Australia

GDP028 Jess Williams CASE

With my card today I decided to use a floral paper instead of stamping an image.

I tend to use stamped images instead of the Designer Series Paper, so over the last few weeks I have been trying to add DSP to my cards.

With this card I have added an overlay of Velum and stamped a image on this along with the sentiment.

Pals Paper Arts this week has a Sketch Challenge by Beth Beard

PPA-292-Mar17

This is a very interesting Sketch and for a while wasn’t sure what I could do with it.

It’s worth while to go over to their site and have a look at what the design team have come up with.

HERE is the link…even give it ago yourselves would love to see what you come up with.

In my card I have used Flowering Fields Stamps and Designer Series Paper.

The images were stamped in black Memento and coloured in with Stampin’ Write Markers.

The “Hello” is from a discontinued Stamp Set – Good Greetings

My card is all about Easter….

God gave us his Son to die on the Cross for Us.

His Son the LAMB of God.

The sentiment on the front of the card was printed via the computer.

I love the way that Rochelle Blok (JAI Design Team) made her Cross so I have CASed her idea to make mine.

I loved the way the Cross is tied together with Linen Thread giving it that rustic feel.

I used the Hardwood Stamp to achieve a timber look for the cross.

My lamb is sitting among flowers at the base of the Cross.

I wish you all a very Happy Easter.

Rose Garden Thinlits- JAI#302

Published on by Michele Jutrisa Category: Just Add Ink

I think I need HELP!

I’m having a Challenge ADDICTION.

Oh…the lack of sleep, to complete this challenge.

But guess what…….

I’M LOVING IT!

Yesterday one of my friends mentioned JAI on FB…….

Whats JAI?

So I Googled JAI….came up with actor’s, company’s, but then …there it was ……

“JUST ADD INK”

Wow! Yes I had heard of them but back then I wasn’t ADDICTED to challenges.

Saw the challenge and knew I had to give it ago, it was inspirational, I knew what I wanted to do.

But my family had gone to bed, my DH had gone to bed and I should have been in bed but “NO” here I was cutting, trimming and gluing.

The Challenge was to use these fantastic colours, I love these colours

JAI 201 buttons-027

Don’t they look great together…..IMAG0640

There’s a touch of elegance with the colours of the richness of Blackberry Bliss and Rich Razzleberry…

but then the earthiness of Tip Top Taupe.

So with this card I have framed it for that formal look but then added the Linen thread, Vintage button with a tuft of Blackberry Bliss thread to give it a rustic feel.

Thank you for letting me play along with your Challenge at “Just Add Ink” and if you want to play then have a look at their page.

This card is a “WINNER” on JAI

Global Design Project #027 | Theme Challenge

Published on by Michele Jutrisa Category: GDP Challeges, Uncategorized

The design challenge set for us this week by the Global Design Project Team is…..

“Thank You”

GDP027 Thank you

Every time I think of the words “Thank You” I think of a song I used to sing at Church in the Youth Choir..(Sooooo many years ago)

Thank you for giving me the morning,

thank you for every day that,s new,

thank you for new things in store for me

and for work to do.

Thank you, I see your word has meaning,

thank you, I know your Spirit here,

thank you, because you love all people

those both near and far

Thank you for speaking to us,

thank you for telling us you care,

thank you, O Lord you came among us

bread and wine to share

Thank you, O Lord your is boundless

thank you that I am full of you

thank you you make me feel so glad and

thankful as I do

,

There seems to be many versions of this song, but this is the one I remember so clearly.

IMAG0634

 

My card today I have made using the Botanical Builder Framelits and Wildflower Fields DSP,

The Botanicals I have cut out in Whisper White Card Stock and sponged in Calypso Coral, Old Olive and Hello Honey.

The Tag and Thank you sentiment come from the Rose Wonder Stamp Set and Rose Garden Thinlits Dies.

For me this card is soft, gentle and “Thankful”, just as the song.
