Inkredible Stamping with Julie

BBQ Recipe Case and Invitation

Hi Stampers,

I'm featuring the last project for May Craft Project Central today...

Summer is almost here and what better way to celebrate then by having a BBQ with family and friends? This fun recipe case is a great way to share your favorite tastes of the season. The project can also be used for other themes, as well. Just switch up the paper and stamps. It also makes for a really fun class or stamp club idea. This project also includes instructions for an invitation to the BBQ along with five recipes for the party!

Hi Stampers,

Today I'm sharing another of the great May Projects from Craft Project Central...

Are you looking for a pretty little end of the year gift for that special teacher?  How about a little gift for a co-worker or the kids' grandparents?  This pretty little scallop circle keepsake box is a wonderful gift to give with the little mini companion album inside!  Or put other little treats inside like a gift card, jewelry, etc.!

May Flowers

Hi Stampers,

Just a quick post today - I've been working on some of my Wool Flowers (It is spring).

I had a request to make a smaller Begonia Flower (it is a big flower) and I played around with a few different options but the one I decided I like the best is this one (I just dropped the third layer from the flower)

I really like the way it turned out - a good way to still get the look of the flower but a little smaller!!

 

Strawberry Gift Set

It’s almost strawberry season, and this gift set is perfect for giving fresh strawberry jam, fresh picked strawberries, or any other summer treat for birthdays, thank you gifts, or to let someone special know that you are thinking of them! If you’re looking for a fun class project, this one’s perfect!

This cute project was created by Nalia, to get directions visit Craft Project Central and subscribe to May.

Scrapbook In A Box

In honor of National Scrapbooking Month, the bonus project this month for Craft Project Central is a really neat Scrapbook in a Box! Lift the handle on the box and you have a 6" x 6" album tucked away inside! This is a perfect Mother’s Day gift, or you could even make it up as a special teacher appreciation gift for the end of the school year (which I think for a lot of kids is coming up soon!). Whoever you give this pretty gift to is sure to love it! Makes for a fun class project as well!

Cupcake Wrappers for the Great American Bake Sale

Hi Stampers,

The past couple of days I've been working on die cutting Cupcake Wrappers from lots of my left over and extra Designer Series Papers.

Don't those look YUMMY???? A simple little cupcake wrapper can make a great looking cupcake look even more fabulous!

I die cut the cupcake wrappers using the Perfect Setting BigzXL Die (See it Online).

I had stacks of Designer Series Paper left over from previous projects (Admit it you all have lots of extras laying around - We paper crafters can not get rid of anything) so I die cut and put together 20 packets of Cupcake Wrappers...

So know you're probably wondering why on earth I needed to put together so many Cupcake Wrapper kits??? Tomorrow (Saturday, May 14, 2011) is the second annual Food Bloggers Great American Bake Sale! You all know I'm not much of a baker (leave that to Mom and Brother) but I wanted to donate something to the St. Louis Bake Sale to help raise some money and I decided a great way to do that was to donate some of my Cupcake Wrappers!

If you're not familar with the Bake Sale check out this page to read all about it.

If you live in the St. Louis area, stop by Sappington Farmers' Market from 10am-2pm, You can look for my cupcake wrappers, buy some baked goods, and do your grocery shopping (Sappington will be donating a portion of the proceeds of Saturday's sales to Share Our Strength)!  Get all of the details and share the event with your friends on the Facebook event page.

If you don't live in St. Louis, you can participate in your city.  Check out the map of bake sales going on around the country.
