Welcome to the last of the Share What You Love North America Events Council Blog Hops. This time we’re featuring our Share What You Love Class projects! Our presentations at On Stage were focused on how we could use the products in this suite in a class situation or some other business project. I had a few things to share. My main class project is the Scrapbook in a Box using the Share What You Love Specialty Designer Series Paper. I think that this is one of my favourite items in the suite. Have I said that already?!

I haven’t done a scrapbook in a box in a while, and this Designer Series Paper is perfect for 3D items as it’s a bit heavier than normal. Plus it’s gorgeous on both sides, which is showcased in a project like this. The above picture is the box when it’s closed. Basically the lid just holds it shut.

This is the box when it’s open. It looks a little complicated, but it’s actually not that bad. It uses 3 different sheets from the DSP package (this package has 24 sheets in it rather than 12, so you could make LOTS of these boxes!). It also uses some of the new pearlized doilies and the Love What You Do stamp set. And yes, I did do some fussy cutting! I don’t do that much, but this was pretty easy – I just cut around a few of the flowers. (I am not into fussy cutting a whole lot, but in some cases, it’s definitely worth it, especially if it’s not TOO fussy – fussy cutting! ha). To adhere the doilies in place, I put some SNAIL on the back of the doily and/or where it’s going to be on the DSP – since the centre of the doily is also covered by a punched circle with the sentiment it covers any exposed adhesive.Of course, if you’re more particular about it, you could always use Fine TIp Glue or the Multipurpose Liquid Adhesive.

The above card is what you can use some of the spare DSP to create (see how the corners of the box are cut out?) – you could give this WITH the scrapbook in a box, or create a few of them to have on hand.

While demonstrators are able to purchase these products right now, everyone will be able to get their hands on this suite in May! There are special bundles, exclusively available during May – you’ll be hearing more about that closer to May 1st – no point in teasing you too much!

Good news – if you are close to Burlington ON, I’m having a Scrapbook in a Box Class where you can create one of these in time for Mother’s Day! Wednesday, May 9th, at 1pm OR 7pm. I will supply all the materials required to make the box. We’ll construct it in class, and then you’ll take it home and add your pictures in time for Mother’s Day, or whatever occasion you might like to use this for (hint: you can also keep it yourself!! haha!). The cost will be $25 and will include the necessary supplies. Space and supplies are limited, though, so you’ll need to register and pay ASAP. Deadline is Monday May 7th. If you aren’t local to me, I’m also going to be offering it as an online class, details to follow shortly.

In the meantime, if you’ve visited here as part of the Blog Hop, thanks, and I hope you will stop back in to check my YamStamps blog sometime soon (and those of my fellow Events Council Members!). A special mention to Robyn Ryan aka STAMPFANatics, who wasn’t able to participate in our Stampin’ Up! North American Council blog hops as her blog is not functional at this point in time. I am so grateful for the opportunity we’ve had to get to know each other and to give back, just a little, to the company and demonstrators who have enriched my life. Today is actually my anniversary of becoming a Stampin’ Up! Canada demonstrator – sixteen years ago!! Here’s to the next 16 years – and beyond!!

Next – visit Bonnie Allers O’Neill
