June Stamp Club Projects

Don't fall out of your chairs just yet, but I'm actually posting the projects for my June stamp club on the day that we have stamp club! I know, shocking!

This card is one I've cased (something I seem to need to do a lot lately) from another talented demonstrator, but I don't remember her name. It uses the single stamp from the Summer Mini catalog Land of the Free, and Newsprint Designer Series Paper, and the Extra-Large Star punch (both are on the retired list). The colors are Cherry Cobbler, Night of Navy and Very Vanilla. The star was punched first and then run through the Big-Shot using the Perfect Polka Dots Textured Impressions Folder. A simple card that could be used for either a summer birthday or the 4th of July celebration.

This next card is again a case, from Laura Seago. It uses the Inlaid Embossing technique, applying punched images onto card stock and then running it all through the Big-Shot using a textured impressions folder. Here I used the Square Lattice one. The punch is the new Blossom Bouquet Triple Layer punch from the Summer Mini catalog. The colors used are Early Espresso, Pink Pirouette, Baja Breeze and Whisper White. It's finished off with basic rhinestones.

The last card is actually one I came up with on my own. It uses the Level 2 hostess set from the Summer Mini catalog, Love & Care, and is colored in using Water Wonder Crayons applied directly to the stamp, misted with water and then stamped onto the card stock. I used the Brights Collection Water Wonder Crayons. The Designer Series Paper is again, Newsprint, and the accent at the bottom is a piece of Styled Vanilla Hodgepodge Hardware. The hardware is on the retired list and is at a discount! The colors used are Old Olive, Melon Mambo, and Very Vanilla.

Thanks for stopping by.

Saturday Fun

I just received my first order from the brand-new 2010-2011 Idea Book & Catalog. It was only 2 stamp sets (freebies that I earned with my sales from Sale-a-Bration!), but what fun!

The 2 cards that I'm showcasing today are from the stamp set, Friends Fur-ever. The layout is almost identical, but I've changed the colors used. This first card uses Real Red, Early Espresso, Pumpkin Pie and Whisper White. The dog image was stamped onto a piece of Basic Gray card stock and cut-out and attached on the chair using 2-Way glue. That wasn't my first intention, but when you aren't thinking and stamp the chair first, and then the dog, you just have to do something! Otherwise, the lines of the chair go right through the dog!

This next card uses Cherry Cobbler, Early Espresso, Daffodil Delight and Whisper White. Probably one of my favorite color combinations!

On both cards, I colored in the stamped images using the Many Marvelous Markers. The embossed sections were done using the Sizzix Big-Shot and the Textured Impressions Embossing Folders, Perfect Polka Dots and Square Lattice.
