Kids' Fun Club

I'm prepping for my kids' class, which is tomorrow. I decided since it's almost October, we would do some Halloween projects.

KidsClub201609

I sometimes use retired product in my kids' classes. The Curvy Keepsake Box/caramel apple is made with retired Baked Brown Sugar card stock (it's just the perfect color for caramel!) and Cucumber Crush ribbon. The card uses various retired ribbons and stamps from September 2014 Paper Pumpkin. The note pad is made with the current Jar of Haunts and the retired Halloween Bash. I love the little tassels! They are in the Holiday catalog.

Looking forward to stamping with the kiddos tomorrow!

Happy stamping, everyone!

Happy Cherry Pie Day!

The day is almost over, but I wanted to share what my Kid's Fun Club participants made to celebrate:

Cherry Pie Day Box

You can find a tutorial for this box here.

And we made these to put inside:

Mini Cherry Pie

This mini pie looked better fresh out of the oven, but I think it tastes better now that it has been chilled. The girls each made two pies- one to eat and one for their boxes.

For Kid's club I often dig into my stash to find things for us to make. The Designer Series Paper and stamp we used for the cupcake box are both long retired. The ribbon was from this last Holiday Catalog. I printed the words for the tag on my computer, and we punched them out with the Note Tag Punch (pg. 28 in the current Occasions Catalog).

We also made mini journal necklaces:

Mini Journal Necklace

The journal is 2" X 1.5". The cover is made with chipboard covered with Timeless Type Designer Series Paper. The inside pages are made from printer paper. I had the charms in my stash of "stuff." We used large jump rings to bind these little books.

And then we made a card:

Happy3 BDay Card

We used the Hello You Thinlits and the Crazy About You stamp set from the Occasions Catalog. The colors are Whisper White, Tempting Turquoise, Calypso Coral, Pear Pizzaz, and Daffodil Delight.

It was a fun class this past Wednesday!

Happy stamping, everyone!

Kids' Club Fun

I love my monthly kids' class. Since I'm not currently teaching, it gives me that little bit of time with some kiddos. I do use some retired product for this class, but I wanted to share these projects with you, anyway. You might already have what you need to make them, or you can always substitute product that you do have.

Last Friday was International Speak Like a Pirate Day, so we made this:

Pirate punch art card

I combined several ideas I found on Pinterest. The card is Whsiper White. We added a 3" X 5 1/2" Chocolate Chip strip, embossed with the Woodgrain embossing folder (#127821). Our "water" is a strip of Marina Mist card stock, trimmed with the Large Scallop Edgelit (#127019). The pirates were made with:

Head - 1 3/8" circle

Scarf - Flashback Designer Series Paper, half of a 1 3/8" circle, small heart cut in half for ties, Owl Builder Punch circle for knot

Ears - Owl Builder Punch circles

Patch: thin strip of Basic Black card stock, Owl Builder Punch circle

And a googlie eye. There is a 1 3/4" cricle of Crumb Cake card stock behind each pirate. The words were printed on the computer and cut out with the Word Bubbles Framelits (#132968). It's hard to see in this picture, but we created clouds in the sky by sponging over the scalloped word bubble. I put the pirates together, and the girls put all the elements on the cards.

We also made this cuper cute little box, also inspried by Pinterest:

Top note owl box

We used the retired Fancy Favor Box die, but you could easily create a box about the same size (front is 3 1/8" across and 3 1/2" high, box is 2 1/4" deep). I love the way the Soft Sky and Pear Pizzaz card stocks look together. We used:

Head - Top Note Die

Eyes - 1 1/4", 1". and 3/4" circle punches

Chest Feathers - Large Scallop Edgelit

Feet - retired heart punch

Nose - retired heart punch

The white chalk marker makes highlighting a cinch. Love that marker!

We used Sticky Strip across the front and back of the box to attach the Top Note die.

Love my Kids' Fun Club class!

Happy stamping, everyone!

More Back to School with Kids Club

Wednesday was my Kids Fun Club class. Yesterday I shared super a cute teacher gift. Today I have our other two projects, a bookmark and a little notecard ring.

Owl Bookmark

Stinkin' cute bookmark! The Crumb Cake layer was cut to 5 1/2" X 2" and the Pool Party chevron Designer Series Paper was cut to 5 3/8" X 1 7/8". Both were punched with the Scalloped Tag Topper Punch. The owl's wing is from the Bird Builder punch. We used the retired Pinwheel Sizlet, but you can easily make a pinwheel just using a square. Here is a pattern for you:

Pinwheel pattern

And then we made this:

Tag Topper Punch Notes

The front and back are Pool Party card stock, cut to 2" X 3". The inside "pages" are index cards cut to the same size. All pieces were punched with the Scalloped Tag Topper Punch. The covers were embossed with the Large Polka Dot embossing folder. This used the retired Schoolbook Serif alphabet, but any alphabet will do. The flower is from Petite Petals, stamped with Calypso Coral. The leaves are two Pear Pizzazz flower petals from the Petite Petals punch.

Happy staming, everyone!

Back to School with Kids Club

Yesterday was my Kids' Fun Club class. Zoey and I both look forward to this class each month! I decided to do some back-to-school projects this month. Here is the first one:

Apple Treat Jar

I first cut out the apple with the Circle Framelits. The bottom of the apple was shaped with the heart in the Chalk Talk Framelits. A circl punch made the dip in the top of the apple. A little snipping and a little sanding rounded out the edges. The stem is a 1/4" strip of Chocolate Chip card stock, and the leaf is the wing from the Bird Builder Punch. A little bit of chalk marker adds a highlight. Chocolate Chip and Wild Wasabi (embossed with the Alphabet Press embossing folder) circles create the background. The whole thing is attached to a bamboo skewer with glue dots.

The baby food jar is wrapped with Flashback Designer Series Paper, tied with Whisper White 1/4" Cotton Ribbon, and filled with Peanut Butter M&M's. Yum!

The girls were excited to have something to take to their new teachers.

Come back tomorrow to see our other two projects!

Happy stamping, everyone!

It's Polar Bear Day!

To celebrate, we made this cute project at my Kids' Fun Club this month:

Polar Bear punch art front

It has Tic Tacs inside:

Polar Bear punch art side

I used the 1 3/8" circle punch for his head. His snout is the large oval, trimmed, so it isn't quite so wide. His nose is a 1/4" circle punch, trimmed. His ears are the wings from the Bird Builder Punch. To make his eyes, I punch two holes with the Crop-a-Dile and placed a strip of Basic Black card stock behind them.

I had all of the pieces punch and trimmed for the girls to sponge and glue together. This project was a hit!

We have had such a crazy winter this year, but ironically, today is not polar bear weather. Mid 50's today and mid 70's tomorrow. I'll take it!

Happy stamping, everyone!
