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.

Stamp Club Projects

I had a great time showing the following projects at my Thornton stamp club on Monday evening.

This is a really simple birthday card that has a bit of a masculine look to it. I really like this color combination. I used it on a card that I posted earlier this month also. The stamps set used for all three projects if Circle Circus. The colors are Soft Suede, Dusty Durango, Crushed Curry and Old Olive. The ribbon is the 1/2" Soft Suede Polka-Dot ribbon, but I turned it over because I thought it was a bit too busy with the polka-dots.

This next card idea is one that I copied directly from Stampin' Up! They give such wonderful project ideas for demonstrators. The card base is Melon Mambo, and the other colors are Chocolate Chip, Old Olive, Crushed Curry and Whisper White. The punched-out section on the lower right-hand side of the stamped image is done with the 1" Circle punch after it has been layered onto the Chocolate Chip card stock and then attached over the 5/8" Old Olive grosgrain ribbon using Stampin' Dimensionals.

The final project was this easy corner bookmark. It's made from a square piece of card stock. I used a 4" square of Rich Razzleberry card stock. To make it, fold in half once horizontally and once vertically to divide it into fourths. Cut away one-fourth (one corner) of the paper. Fold the two remaining "arms" down and adhere them together creating a pocket that will fit over the corner of a page in a book. Decorate your corner bookmark using stamped accents or any accessories you want. Here the scallop circle image was stamped onto Confetti White card stock in Rich Razzleberry ink and punched out using the Scallop Circle punch. The same image was stamped again using Crushed Curry ink onto Confetti White card stock and punched out using the 1-3/8" Circle punch. The two punched pieces were layered onto each other. One flower was punched-out using the Flower Trio punch and Rich Razzleberry card stock. Using the paper piercing tool and an Old Olive brad attach the flower to the stamped piece. Attach this to the front of the bookmark.
