Butterfly Gala Make & Take

Last night was our monthly team meeting.
We usually end our meeting with a Make & Take project.
Stampin' Up! has been promoting #simplestamping (ink, paper, stamps)
I seriously struggle with simple stamping  so I showed the 3 steps
For the beginner stamper, the casual stamper and the avid stamper.

Last night we made the stepped up version on the right so that I could show them how to cut that darling fun fold.
Of course I cased this idea (from Hilary Wright)
But sooo very cute! - RIGHT!!
You can check out her blog post HERE

We also had a TON of shares this month! I'm so excited about everyone participating.
Here are some cards shared by my team members using the Butterfly Gala stamps and/or the Botanical Butterfly Designer Paper.

Team Shares

These are the cards that the gals made to share with  us at our team meeting.

 Janelle shared this card that she made at Sue's card class. Sue said she followed instruction she found on Dawn Griffith's blog. Stamp set is called ANIMAL OUTING. So cute! I love this stamp set as you can probably tell by how many posts I have using this set.

So very cute - this is what the inside looks like

Janell also shared the following cards...

 BLENDED SEASONS (retired)

INSIDE: SIGNS OF SANTA - such a fun fold card.

 BEAUTIFUL BAUBLES

 I love these window cards, I wish the framelit was still available to purchase.

ALPINE ADVENTURE

Don't you love the sled die cut??!!

 This is the same fun fold as before but this time Janell used colored card stock

INSIDE

 ROOTED IN NATURE

Inez shared these next 4 cards that were made using the TIMELESS TIDINGS PROJECT KIT

Inez also shared these next 3 cards

 SEASONAL CHUMS & HEARTS COME HOME. Love that cute little reindeer!

 

 WINTER WOODS with BUFFALO CHECK Back ground stamp

STAR OF LIGHT  - still one of my favorite Christmas stamps!

The next series of cards were shared by Sue

 ANIMAL OUTING

 DANDELION WISHES & BOKEH DOTS

 PETAL PROMENADE Designer Paper and ITTY BITTY GREETINGS 

The flower was punched twice with the FOUR PETAL FLOWER PUNCH

This bundle of cards was also made with the PETAL PROMENADE Designer Paper.

There is a sheet that has the floral borders in 2 different sizes. Sue used a variety of 

stamps in the current catalogs to make quick and easy cards.

Kind of funny because I had cut some out too, and handed them out as a challenge for next months meeting for them to make something with it. Guess Sue has already met her challenge!!

I can't wait to see what everyone comes up with.

These last 2 cards were shared by Chris, even though she could not make it to the meeting, she sent them along to share with us. She knew that we were going to be using DANDELION WISHES for our make & take so she made her samples with this super great stamp set.

This first one she made and then realized she used a retired ribbon so she made this second one using LINEN THREAD. If you like the look of the crochet lace trim best you could always use the 

VERY VANILLA 1/2" LACE TRIM

THANKS LADIES FOR SHARING YOUR CREATIONS WITH ALL OF US!!

Stampin' Up!'s promotion for September is this wonderful Designer Paper called DASHING ALONG

How was the Dashing Along Designer Series Paper created? 

To create our exclusive Dashing Along Designer Series Paper, Stampin' Up! used a mix of old favorites and new patterns to bring you beautiful, traditional Christmas paper.  This collection of patterns has an eclectic feel and is perfect for layering, and while the newsprint design isn’t Christmas-themed, it was selected for its versatility and popularity.  I hope you’ll love this Designer Series Paper as much as I do, and remember, it’s available for a limited time only!
