July Stamp Group Make-n-Takes

Hello everybody!  Just wanted to share my projects I had available for my July Stamp Group with you today.  We always have a fun time when we're together.  Some have been stampin' with me for over 14 years now.  We always have a great time and lots of great things to eat that the hostess of the month makes.  This month are Hostess was Tammy Roberts, I always look forward to having her host because her husband makes homemade ice cream for us. Yum!  So anyway here are the projects.

 I always have two cards and a 3D project for my crafty group to make.

 This one is a fun pull tab pop-up card using the new stamps set Blow Out the Candles and Birthday Backgrounds.  Also a fun new ink color, Lovely Lipstick and the in-color Lemon Lime Twist.  The Specialty DSP Broadway Bound is a great addition to the card.

 This beautiful card is a CASE card from Mary Haugen and is done in the new color Mango Melody.  The stamp set is called Healing Hugs and is new.  The Basket Weave Emboss Folder is now available to order and makes a beautiful addition to the card.

For the 3D project I put together a cute little basket again using the Basket Weave Emboss Folder which holds 2 Hershey Nuggets.  The Nuggets are wrapped in some of our $11.00 DSP that is on sale this month Buy 3 Get one FREE and is a 6 x 6 stack called Garden Impressions.  The cute little saying is stamp in a new In-Color Blueberry Bliss and is from the new stamp set Treat Time.

3D Thursday - Altered Mini Comp Book

Hi and welcome to another addition of 3D Thursday.  This week it's my turn to be crafty so today's FREE printable project was created by me.  While looking at Pinterest, I found a neat new way to attach inks pen to mini comp books when altering them and thought I would give that a try.  Altering mini comp books has always been something I enjoy doing.  Here's my book and as usual the instructions are at the bottom of the post and are FREE to print off and enjoy.

I decorated this mini comp book using the Share What You Love Specialty Designer Series Paper.  

 I went with the matching stamp set "Love What You Do" as my vocal point.  I added some of our pretty Share What You Love Artisian Pearls and a small Nature's Twine bow to the bouquet.  Stamping the outline first in Stazon Black and then filling in with Berry Burst.

 I used the retired Crop-a-dile to punch my holes in the book and threaded ribbon through the holes to hold my ink pen and to tie my book shut.

 I used a sweet little sentiment from the stamp set Very Vintage at the bottom of my book.  I hope you have enjoyed my project today.  Now if you are ready to make one the FREE Project Sheet can be found below.  Have a crafty day!
