Would you use an apron?

I love the Stampin Up Designer Fabrics and wanted to come up with a fun and practical project for them.  I thought a craft apron would do the trick.  You can use it at any kind of event:  crop, workshop, craft sale, or even at home when stamping.   Everything you need is right where you can reach it.

The apron measures 17" wide and 8 1/2" high.  There are 2 layers of pockets.  The first pocket layer is 4" high and the second layer pocket is 5 1/2" high.  I used 1" Real Red ribbon I had for the tie.    
The picture shows a few of the tools you stuff in the pockets, but there's room for more ... cell phone, glue pen, Stampin Demensionals, Sticky Strip... they'd all fit too.

I made this one using Stampin Up Candy Cane Christmas Designer Fabric, #121715.

I made this apron using the Springtime Vintage Designer Fabric, # 121817, with Rose Red and Baby Blue ribbon for the ties.  I think I need more fabric!

I can send or post directions for these if anyone is interested.  Just let me know.  

Hi Everyone!

How's 2012 treating you so far?  I want to craft so much lately, more so than before!  One of my favorites is making cards.  It's just fun.  I love to give handmade cards to family and friends, and sharing ideas is part of the fun.

I've been a "hobby" Stampin Up Demonstrator for about 3 years now.  I signed up as a demonstrator for 2 reasons.  1, the discount and 2, the products.  The products are fantastic;  stamps, inks, papers, ribbons, tools and more.  And the best part ... the colors!  Lots of great colors and everything coordinates.  It just makes everything easy for me.  I'd like to start sharing what I make with you and hope you have as much fun as I do.

So, here's a Valentine's card I made.

I cased this card from a sample I found and can't remember where I found it.  I apologize for that.  The creator deserves all the credit.  I will make sure I credit any card I case in the future.  Let me tell you what was used to make this card.

Card Stock:  Real Red, Whisper White and Basic Black

Designer Paper:  Real Red from Brights Collection

Stamps:  Punch Potpouri

Ink:  Real Red

Punches:  Full Heart punch, Heart to Heart punch, Scallop Trim Border punch.  

Accessories:  Basic Rhinestone Jewel 

It was fun and quick to make.  Hope you like it!

It's about time!

Hi Everyone!
It's about time I added a post or two, don't you think?
Tonight I went to our Stampin Up monthly card swap.  They're always a lot of fun.  Everyone brings a card design to share.   Tonight's theme was Halloween.  Here are a few of the things we made tonight.
So cute!

Thanks for stopping by!

I have a Stampin Up Blog!

I'm a Stampin Up demonstrator in Las Vegas, NV.   I thought it'd be fun to start this bog to share pictures of cards, scrapbook pages. projects and events.
  
I've made a lot of great friends since I became a demonstrator.  Everyone is so creative and helpful and it's fun to see what everyone makes.  That's the best part!  There are so many great ideas and samples that show you how to make cards, scrapbook pages and projects.  Stampin Up has all kinds of fun stamps, papers, inks, embellishments and tools.  You can click on the Stampin Up catalog on the right.  It'll take you to my demonstrator web page.  You'll see some great ideas and can view all the products.  Let me know if you have any questions about anything.


Here's another great place to check out ...  Sherrill's blog.  I joined Stampin Up under her.  She has an amazing blog with lots of great samples, ideas and inspiration.


I'll have pictures of cards soon.  Enjoy!
