Tuesday stamping

Good Tuesday morning to you!

For my Thornton stamp club members, you might recognize the layout on this card. I changed it up by using a different stamp set, "Pocket Silhouettes". And, to give the background some texture, I used the Sizzix Big-Shot and the SU! Perfect Details Texturz Plate.

Happy Thursday

I attended a Spring Stamposium this past Saturday, and used the card below as my swap card. The day was filled with stamping and stamping business tips and time with stamping friends. It doesn't get much better than that!

Anyway, here are the card details. The stamp sets used are the new Awash with Flowers set that will be in the new catalog when it comes out in July (but it's available as a sneak peek during the month of April), and Heard From the Heart. I purchased the Awash with Flowers set in clear-mount, and it definitely helps to line-up these 2-Step stamp sets using the clear-mounts over using wood-mount and a Stamp-a-ma-jig.

The colors used are Pretty In Pink, Old Olive, Confetti White, and Basic Black. The message image was stamped onto a strip of Vellum card stock and attached on both sides using Pretty In Pink brads. The Pretty In Pink card base was given some texture using the Perfect Details texture plate and the Sizzix Big-Shot.

More Stamp Club Projects

Here are projects we made at my Littleton stamp club this month.

This first card is a 3"x3" card, perfect for a gift enclosure. The idea came directly from Stampin' Up! They give their demonstrators such wonderful ideas.

The card base is More Mustard textured card stock. The accent colors are Melon Mambo, Old Olive and Chocolate Chip. The circle stamp is from the stamp set Circle Circus.

The image is stamped 4 times, one in each of the 4 colors mentioned above onto Whisper White card stock. The More Mustard image is punched out using the 1-3/4" circle punch. Then the Old Olive, Melon Mambo and Chocolate Chip images are cut along different flowers and glued down onto the More Mustard image. This is all glued onto a 2" (the large size) Metal Edge tag. (This photo shows the image glued down onto a 2" circle of Brushed Silver card stock, and option if you don't have metal-edge tags. The Old Olive card stock strip was punched using the Scallop Edge punch and then adhered to the right-edge of the note card. The Chocolate Chip flower is punched from the Trio Flower punch and a More Mustard brad is attached in the center. The "thinking of you" image is from the Teeny Tiny Wishes stamp set.

The second card is on a Old Olive card base. The colors are Old Olive, Not Quite Navy, Chocolate Chip and Crushed Curry. The circles (again from Circle Circus) are stamped in a somewhat random pattern and the 5/8" Chocolate Chip grosgrain ribbon is tied onto the front. The greeting image is from the stamp set On Your Birthday.

This last card also uses the Circle Circus and Teeny Tiny Wishes stamp sets. The card base is Rich Razzleberry card stock and the accent colors are Old Olive and Crushed Curry. The circles are punched from the 3/4" circle punch and the layer from the 1" circle punch. These are then attached to the Crushed Curry card stock with Stampin' Dimensionals. The card base was textured using the Sizzix Big Shot and the Stampin' Up! Perfect Details Texturz Plate.
