February Stamp Club 2013

 The card, above, was my demonstration.  Just take 1/2" pieces of DSP and attach to a piece of 3 x 3 card stock.  It's a great way to use up those little scraps!

 This next card, above, was first scored at 1 1/2" with the diagonal plate on the Simply Scored.  We used Circle Circus.  The finishing touch was a little circle with the gold Stampin' Dazzle pen!

 The Happy Hello Simply Sent Card Kit was changed a little to make both of these cards (above and below).  You can always make the card as-is when you buy a kit.  Or, you can use the materials and make your own special design!

The stamp-a-ma-jig made stem and flower placement much easier on the card, below.  It's an extra step, but your image gets stamped right where you want it!

 Part of the hostess gift, below, was a box made with the Happy Hello Simply Sent Card Kit.  Find the tutorial at www.barbstamps.com.   Click on Barb's videos to find it!

Happy Stamping!

Cindy's party, February 2013

 A wheel, a spritzer, and some Sale-A-Bration items!  This was a fun card to demonstrate!

 The card (above) was a make-n-take.  The vellum card stock gives the background a muted look. 

 I used the same wheel on this card (above) as I did on the other card I demonstrated.  The wheel has an edge to it and I didn't want that to show.  So, I wheeled off the edge of the card stock and covered the center with some card stock!

This quick and easy card uses lots of Sale-A-Bration items!  There's DSP, a stamp set, and a punch.  It's hard to choose which Sale-A-Bration item to get first!

Happy Stamping!

Stamping Fun Night January 2013

 Stamping Fun Night was a cold, snowy night, but the ones that braved the cold and snow had a lot of fun!  We made one of the cards (above).  This idea was 100% CASEed from stampinpretty.com/  Each card uses the same materials, the stampers just had to choose their design.  I love a simple, beautiful card!

 The next card (above) was a demonstration.  There are no stamps or inks (weird!!).  Just emboss the image 2x on the Not Quite Navy, and use the way-cool lace tape from the Spring Catalog in the center.  Some bling finishes it up!

 We made the bicycle card (below) as the second make-n-take.  It's the Ronald McDonald House set and the ribbon/button pack from the Sale-A-Bration brochure.  Don't forget some background with the Color Spritzer Tool and a Tangerine Tango marker.  The same design gets a different look when you use blue and a sailboat!

Happy Stamping!  Stay warm!

January Stamp Club

 Here are the cards from the January Stamp Club!  I demonstrated the card, above.  Can you see the scored lines???  Then I colored the little circles on the sailboat with the Silver Stampin' Dazzle marker that was carried-over from the Holiday catalog.  I use that marker in the Color Spritzer tool to add a little sparkle to the background, using a sticky note to avoid the sailboat.

 The card the Stamp Club members made with the SAB set Bloomin' Marvelous set looks better than mine because there is a Designer Printed Brad in the center!  This is a quick and easy card.  I bet you have a set or two that you could use with this same layout!

And the card below has that cool Delicate Details Lace Tape in the Spring Catalog.  It comes in 2 sizes/designs!  The design (in the center of the 1 1/4" scallop circle punch of Rich Razzleberry cs) is made with Sycamore Street DSP punched with a 7/8" scallop circle punch and a punch from the Itty Bitty Shapes punch pack

 The Pretty Petites set, Petite Curly Label punch, and two-tone ribbon makes this a perfect card for the love of your life! 

This is the same card design as above, just different colors!  I love how changing a stamp set or colors can completely change a card.  Just find a layout you like and go from there!

Happy Stamping!  Stay warm!
