Stamping Fun Night November 2014

Lost Lagoon was the star on this card, above, along with the Six-Sided Sampler stamp set.  And just a little bling peeking out the corners!

 The All is Calm Specialty DSP looks like a holiday paper.  But take a closer look and you'll see tons of possibilities!  Pear Pizzazz is a perfect match-up!

A black and white Christmas card?!  Why not!  The rectangle is made with clear block H and Smoky Slate ink.  And Lovely as a Tree looks...lovely on this card!

It was a fun night of stamping and visiting!

Happy Stamping!

Stamp Club November 2014

The Fancy Foil Designer Vellum is a great background for this card.  Use adhesive on the back of the circles.  Your vellum will stick, but you won't see the adhesive!  The pumpkin is made with the large oval punch.  And that's the All is Calm DSP behind the pumpkin!

Clear emboss on black, using the VersaMark pad gives a different effect.  This is a quick and easy card when you need a sympathy card, or to make ahead so you have a few on hand.  Try switching out the colors if you want the same effect but with brighter colors.

I just love these little snowflake charms!!  Add some snowflakes from the All is Calm DSP and you're ready for winter.  Or at least the card is!  :)

Use sponges and ink pads to make this pretty autumn background.  I used Crushed Curry, Cherry Cobbler, and Mossy Meadow.  Swirl the sponge in a circle as you go to blend the colors better.  Then add a slightly larger piece of Very Vanilla behind, tear the edges, and mount on Basic Black and Mossy Meadow card stock.

It was another fun night stamping with Stamp Club!

Happy Stamping!

September 2014 Stamping Fun Night

 These cards are quick and easy.  Just attach DSP to the front of a card, and add a tag with dimensionals!  I like it with just the punched image AND with the punched image attached to the tag!

 We used a Decorative Mask to make the Daffodil Delight stars.  What a fun way to add some pizzazz to a card!

To make the Thank You card, emboss the vellum card stock with the Filigree Frame from the Holiday catalog.  Then cut out the center with Labels Collection Framelit.  Attach to the card with mini brads, stamp the words, add a bow, and you're ready to send it out!

Happy Stamping!

Stamping Fun Night August 2014

 This card is easy, but you'll want to make sure you use the stamp-a-ma-jig to line up the swirls!  You can do it!  The stamp-a-ma-jig is our friend!! Try this layout with a leaf and fall colors instead of an anchor!  Colors:  Night of Navy, Coastal Cabana, and Real Red.

 We used Blendabilities to color in the flower, above.  You get 3 shades of the same color, and the alcohol-based markers make it easy to blend!  Colors:  Old Olive, Rich Razzleberry, Whisper White.

We embossed the Thank You, then used an AquaPainter and ink (from the lid of the ink pad) to make a watercolor wash over the words.  The ink does not absorb into the embossed image.  Colors: Hello Honey, Soft Suede, Brushed Gold, and Very Vanilla.  the Thank You is embossed in gold and the hearts are stamped in Soft Suede.

It was a fun afternoon of stamping!  Hope to see you at the next Stamping Fun Night!

Happy Stamping!
