A group of us went to the Scrapbook Expo in Denver,\u00a0 May 17, 2024.\u00a0 \u00a0It was a fun time, not quite as many vendors as the one I attended several years ago, but certainly enough that I found most things on my list.\u00a0 My favorite vendor that I visited first was Krazy Kreations.\u00a0 I purchased numerous outlines from them years ago but never used them so I wanted to get instructions once again.\u00a0 They had a ‘make and take’ so not only did I receive instructions but I got to use the technique.\u00a0 Sal will link you to their site at the end of the blog post.<\/p>\n

\"\"\u00a0<\/a><\/p>\n

The shoes, flowers, greeting and hearts are all glossy stickers.\u00a0 You put the shoe stickers on super fine glitter paper,\u00a0 roll with a brayer tool to set them firmly in the paper and then you color with alcohol markers and then fussy cut the image. I used a light and dark pink to get a little shading.\u00a0 The background is three strips of DSP with a little line sticker on the left side.<\/p>\n

I added a happy birthday die cut from pink glitter paper for the inside when I got back home.\u00a0 The line edge is a sticker as well!<\/p>\n

\"\"\u00a0<\/a><\/p>\n

\"\"Pretty rough looking die cut.\u00a0\u00a0<\/a><\/p>\n

It was pretty in real life but the camera didn’t work well with the glitter paper, Sal.\u00a0 I could have used the super fine glitter paper and colored it but I had lots of Stampin’ Up! paper in my stash so I wanted to save the super fine glitter paper I purchased at Krazy Kreations for my Christmas projects when it is my turn for another Shoebox event.<\/p>\n

Another vendor I visited and made their make and take was the Spellbinders booth.\u00a0 I have seen the wax kits in advertisements and wanted to try using them.\u00a0 Their card also used a letterpress system to get the tree branch.\u00a0 It has indents and fine details but hard to catch in a photo.\u00a0 The faux strings behind the wax seal are actually from a die.\u00a0 I toyed with buying that die but decided I have a stash of bakers twine so best to save my money – for now!<\/p>\n

\"\"\u00a0<\/a><\/p>\n

The next make and take was at the Stampalistic booth, it is a tin box with a top we made from an amazing stamp set that created layers by stamping on different colored papers and then fussy cutting and popping up each layer.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

I went back to Krazy Kreations and purchased the borders you see on the bottom of the tin.\u00a0 The flower jewels are from my stash.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

I asked if the jewels were Swarovski crystals since they were so bright.\u00a0 She said Swarovski has changed and calls them\u00a0 ‘Illuminations’\u00a0 so I think the answer was yes, but I am not sure.\u00a0 Anyway they are Illuminations.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\"\"And you purchased the stamp so you can make more?<\/a><\/p>\n

No, Sal.\u00a0 It was a lot of fussy cutting.\u00a0 Now if I had one of those fancy machines that would cut it, I might have.\u00a0 I sold my Brother because I had absolutely no room for it and no time to learn it.<\/p>\n

Lastly, we met and compared our treasures. Sharon had found a make and take with a whole kit to take home that makes 8 cards- www.simplestories.com.\u00a0 This was the make and take.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Everything, including the background paper, was a punch out, but a heavy duty punch out, not just a thin sticker.\u00a0 I was impressed.\u00a0 This is something I can do with my grandchildren and they will be able to make a lovely card.\u00a0 They had Christmas card kits but I was hoping for a graduation card kit and birthday kit.\u00a0 I will have to go online for those.<\/p>\n

Most of the make and takes were $5 so very reasonable.\u00a0 \u00a0I had brought cash to make myself keep to a budget and my last purchase of the outline strips from Krazy Kreations, I was counting out my leftover change, but I kept to the budget.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Sharon, Lucille, Terry, myself and Michele!<\/p>\n

I headed to the bathroom before we left and when I got back to the group they were yelling “You won”.\u00a0 I won a $20 gift certificate from Acushla Stamps (Acushla is Gaelic for Darling).\u00a0 I chose Petticoat Parlor stamps- a ‘Tea For Two’ stamp set and a ‘Sympathy’ stamp set.<\/p>\n

\"\" SCORE!<\/a><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>. \"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

It was a fun day!\u00a0 I would have come back for the second day but I had a party planned for our little graduating kindergarten grandchild, Emmitt.\u00a0 \u00a0He wanted a chocolate donut and a cake so our dear friend who does cakes for a living made a large chocolate donut cake!\u00a0 She actually made a chocolate and vanilla which was perfect to have one for Jaxson who doesn’t care for chocolate.\u00a0 Yes, he is my grandson, but he sure didn’t get my love for chocolate!<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Thank you, Barbara Lane, for wonderful cakes!<\/p>\n

Stay tuned for cards from our next shoebox event which is tomorrow.\u00a0 I am the hostess so I will be posting those cards next.<\/p>\n

\"\" Thank you for letting us bring a pinch of creativity to spice up your crafting world!<\/a><\/p>\n

SAL,\u00a0 \u00a0Sharing A Lot of fun with friends<\/p>\n

Karen<\/p>\n

Riddle of the day:<\/p>\n

Question:\u00a0 I am easy to lift but hard to throw.\u00a0 What am I?<\/p>\n

Answer:\u00a0 A feather.<\/p>\n
