I attended Backstage 2016 hosted by Janet Baker and Susan Adams last Tuesday. It was amazing! The entire suite was decorated with a movie theater theme complete with film strip wall decor, popcorn machine, stars hanging decor, and candy bar. It was so much fun! We had four make and take projects and one take home project featuring products from the current catalogs.
The first project we made was a cute gift bag sponged with white craft ink and adorned with a friendship tag and Bermuda Bay sequins. The stamp set is Friendly Wish and is staying in the Annual Catalog. The dots were made using the Dots & Stripes Mask, which is retiring this year. I love this mask. I have used it on many gift and treat bags. I am really sad this mask is retiring. It is such a great tool and only $3!
The second project we made was a card featuring Clear Wink of Stella, Timeless Textures stamp set, and the Birthday Blooms stamp set. I love this stamp set and color combination! All three are staying in the Annual Catalog. The Venetian Trim is retiring.
This is my favorite project we made! It is a variation on a cascading fold card. I love the It's My Party DSP and Happy Birthday die!
The inside reveals a sweet sentiment and more festive balloons!
The middles opens to hold a gift card. How much fun is this card?!?!
The last project we made was a clever mini photo album with the 2015-2017 In Color DSP stack and ID badge holders. Inside has four pages to put photos of your loved ones.
The take home project was a little goodie basket made using the Berry Basket Bigz Die and the Birthday Bouquet DSP (both are retiring).
This mini basket is a sweet way to give a little present or candy. I love the bow on top of the handle!
If you would like to make these projects too, please contact to set up a stamping session!
Thanks for stopping by!
