Stamp Club December 2017


The card I demonstrated had wine AND was an explosion card!  How fun!


stamps:
*Half Full
Timeless Textures

paper:
Basic Black (5 ½”x 8 ½” and 2 ¼” x 5 ¼”)

ink:

accessories:
medium envelope- Whisper White
watercolor pencils
blender pen
*7/8” striped ribbon

TIP:
Use an 8” x 8” piece of copy paper to make the inside “explosion” part of the card.



Even though the next card we made uses Designer Paper that has "Christmas" in its name, you can make lots of cards that last all winter long...And even other seasons!
stamps:
Blooms and Wishes

paper:
Soft Sky (5 ½” x 8 ½” and 3 ½” x 4 ¾ and ¾” x 4 ¾”)
Basic Black (3 ¾” x 5”)

ink:
Soft Sky
Basic Black

accessories:
medium envelope-Whisper White

ribbon- 3/8” metallic edge silver
stamping sponge
dimensionals
paper snips

TIP:
Sponge ink on the Designer Paper before adhering to the card.




 The Lovely as a Tree stamp set has been around for a long time, and I can see why.  It is a versatile set, great for lots of occasions!

We made the card, above.  We could choose words and sponging, or leave those things off.  The champagne embossing powder was made by mixing half gold and half silver embossing powder.



This alternate card is a full size card without any embossing.  Still beautiful, but super quick and easy!

stamps:
Lovely as a Tree
Happy Birthday, Gorgeous!

accessories:
sponge dauber
embossing powder (half gold, half silver to make champagne)
embossing buddy
heat tool

TIPS:
-Use a small paintbrush to wipe off any excess embossing powder.
-Use a tweezer to hold the paper when you are embossing.




The last card we made reminds me of a cold winter night.  The Big Shot and some Thinlits made this card quick and easy.
