Last Chance to order Walk In the Park Designer Series Paper

One of my favorite Designer Series Paper this last year was the one that is featured in the Occasions Mini Catalog called Walk in the Park.  This paper features a great color combination of Baja Breeze (a retiring In Color), Basic Gray, Cameo Coral & Kiwi Kiss (another retiring In Color).  To order this paper now, click here .  Enjoy this box that was one of the projects in my June Project of the Month class.

These boxes are Paper Mache boxes from the local craft store.  We covered the top and bottoms, then added the ribbon so the ends were inside, then cut pieces of DSP to cover box bottom and sides and the inside of lid.  We added the Designer Hardware to center of cut out Flower and Felt Flower Fusion.  Then adhered flower to top of box using a pop up glue dot.

Supplies:    Petal Pizzazz stamp set; Whisper White card stock; Walk in the Park Designer Series Paper; Cameo Coral Classic Pad; Flower Fusion II; Designer Hardware Soho and Hooray; Fire Circle Rhinestone Brads; 5/8" Satin Ribbon - White; Pop Up Glue Dot; Glue Stick; Tombow Liquid Adhesive; SNAIL Adhesive

June "Project of the Month" Class

Each month I hold a Project of the Month class in my Stampin' Studio on the 4th Monday.  Our last class featured this cute pot as one of our three projects:

 
Sorry, the color did not come out very true in this photo. This little flower pot I found in the Dollar Spot at Target.  It has a little peat pellet and seeds to grow Marigolds.  I removed the covering and adhered a 1/2" x 10" piece of DSP to the rim of the pot.  Then, I adhered the covering to the DSP and cut out the pot lip openings using a craft knife.  Then, I cut off the excess card stock.  Next, stamped greeting on sides of cover with Kiwi ink.  Then folded the covering back up and put back onto pot.  I punched a Kiwi Kiss scallop circle and mounted Kiwi leaves (stamped & cut out) to top.  Then used the Embosslet and Summer Sun card stock to punch the flower, then sponged flower with Summer Sun ink.  I adhered the flower to the scallop circle and punched a hole in the center and added the Kiwi button.  I used a Pop Up glue dot to adhere flower to top of pot cover.

Sad to see you go...

With all the excitement of what is coming in the new catalog on July 1st, I want to share some fun projects with you that are using the great product from the current catalog.

I am very sad to see some of my very favorite Designer Series Paper leave us at the end of this month.  Remember, you can place an order by clicking on Order Now on my blog or go to www.deniseniner.stampinup.net and click on Shop Now to get your hands on the Designer Paper that is still available.  Here are a couple of fun cards for inspiration:

This was a card that was included on one of my Card of the Month classes.  The leaf medallion was created by stamping the outline leaf from Central Park stamp set (not on the Last Chance list) onto the houndstooth paper from Urban Oasis Designer Series Paper (on the Last Chance list) and cutting out.  Then stamp the same leaf on Kraft card stock and punch out with 1 3/4" circle punch.  The Basic Gray scallop circle is cut from the Basket & Blooms die for the Big Shot.  After assembling the circles, the DSP leaf is glued onto image and cut at the edge of the scallop.
