Bingo Night 2016!

August 15, 2016

My 2nd Annual Bingo Night to introduce our 2016-2017 Annual Inspirations took place last Saturday night. We had projects, prizes and a lot fun! Today, I wanted to share the projects that we created that night. Tomorrow I will share our prizes that were won and also later this week, a project that my Day Croppers got to complete!

First up - a quick treat holder using the August Stamp of the Month , Purr-fect Halloween. This was quick and easy! We used Tangerine cardstock to create a simple folded holder. The cat was stamped with White Pigment ink onto black cardstock. Next we stamped a hat and the banner onto Pansy paper from the Adventure Fundamentals and cut it out. The Black base was adhered to the holder and we used the mini stapler to staple the side. Now just add a treat or two!

Next up is a card that uses some of our new Thin Cuts along with the bold striped paper from the Adventure Fundamentals. Some people had "thanks" and some had "hello". Since the paper is double sided, they had a choice of which color they wanted to use. Also we had star thin cuts or heart thin cuts.

By now, I think everyone knows that the color of the year is Seaglass so I certainly had to show it off with the next card we created! The Seaglass cardstock was run through the Confetti Stars Embossing Folder (Z3119). We used paper and Ribbon from the Rustic Home Fundamentals, Seaglass Glitter Paper and a stamp from Birthday Sparkles. We brushed over the stars with the new Shimmer Brush to give it a shimmer. (You can't really see it in this picture!)

Our last project of the night was a 2 page layout using the Adventure Fundamentals and the Good Life Compliments. For this project I chose 4 patterns from ONE paper pack per four people. Since the paper is two sided, they chose which colors they wanted to showcase on their layout. Next, I spread out one set of Good Life Compliments on their table and they got to choose their title and other stickers, die-cuts and vellum pieces they wanted to add. There were PLENTY to choose from among the 4 people. This was to demonstrate the versatility and abundance of paper AND compliments! Here are three layouts that I had as examples. (The 4th layout was completed by my downline helper and didn't get a picture of hers!) We also added a bit of Adventure Ribbon to the layouts too. There were plenty of compliments left even after these four layouts were completed!
