Bloggers Challenge-August 21st
The Bloggers Challenge this week was to use punches or dies. I used the new butterfly punch, which I also used at my Stamp Club meeting. What a great punch!

Harvest Home stamp set
If you buy a set like Harvest Home that is a line stamp, you don't always have to color it in! I hope you enjoy these ideas! And thanks to the people that inspired me to make these cards by sharing their ideas!
The top card is embossed with gold embossing powder. The card stock is Soft Suede and Brushed Gold.
To make this card, cut 3 pieces of card stock (different colors) the same size as the wood block of your stamp. Then stamp the image on each piece. Tear the top layer, then adhere the next layer underneath. Tear that layer and adhere the bottom layer. Then mount it on a slightly larger piece of card stock (in this case black).
Happy stamping!
August Stamp Club
These cards were made at the August Stamp Club.
The new butterfly punch is great to use with the butterfly from the Flight of the Butterfly stamp set!
We used Watercolor Wonder Crayons to color in the pumpkin image.
The Finial Press embossing folder was used to make the background of this card. I love the embossing folders! They are easy to use and the results are so "wow!"
Look on my next post to see some other ideas using the Harvest Home stamp set...with no coloring!

Stamped earrings!
At the Stampin' Up! Convention earlier in August, co-founder Shelli showed how to make earrings with metal edge tags. She inspired me to make these!
This pair of post earrings is made with the Circle Circus stamp set. I embossed one of the circles with gold emboss powder on brushed gold card stock. Then I punched the circles out with the 3/4" circle punch and used mini glue dots to attach them to earring posts.
These earrings were made with metal edge tags and earring dangles. I inked up the stamp I got at the Stampin' Up! convention that was attached to the Stampin' Up! Build-a-Bear (He's a cutie!). I used markers (Soft Suede, Dusty Durango, and Rich Razzleberry) and stamped right on the tags.
I hope these inspire you to make your own hand-stamped earrings!
