Lots of "Girlie" Bots

I love the versatility of stamping...normally I show you "girlie" goodies made to be more "masculine" but not today. You know I am the total girlie-girl. Well check out my "Girlie" Bots...

Here is the inspiration...from Stampin' Up!'s monthly magazine for Demo's Only from July. I know where did I get the template? Demonstrators have access to a whole Pattern Library. I increased the size of the template from Stampin' Up! and created this PDF file for you. Print it out onto your choice of cardstock from your computer, or photocopy to your cardstock and cutout. You can download it from right here.

Here are more detailed shots...

Use your scoring blade on the dotted lines before you stamp and assemble your box. I punched out a cover for the top.

I used Lots of Bots Stamp Set, Shimmer White, Brushed Silver, Crushed Curry, Pixie Pink, Basic Black Papers, Basic Black & Pixie Pink Classic Inks, Scallp Circle, 1 3/8" Circle, Trio Flower & 1/4" Cicle Punches, Stampin' Dimensionals, Sticky Strip, Clear Rhinestone Brads & Crushed Curry Polkadot Ribbon.

Hope you have a GREAT day. (This is another cute project my team got to make at our meeting on Monday night!) If you need any supplies or ideas just let me know. Thanks for stopping in. Diana

Eastern Bloom Mini Book

A few rub-ons, some embossing, ribbon, envelopes and some punches...ya gotta mini book. I have been making little books for years...but never put anything in them. One reason I LOVE scrapbooking is to fill up those wonderful blank books with something that warms the heart and brings a smile.

Front.

Outside front and back.

I was thinking of re-making this book with a new set and paper from the NEW Catalog...what do you think? I also have been playing with the idea of a download tutorial. We'll see how much I can get done on that idea...

I hope you have a FANTASTIC day! Stay warm. My fingers feel frozen as I type. Thanks for stopping by. Diana
