May Fun Night 2014

 The card, above, has a unique fold.  The card base is 9 1/2 x 4 1/4.  Score at 2 3/4, 4 3/4, 5 3/4, and 6 3/4.  Fold the sides in, then attach just the center of the flower image to the center of the folded card base.  It fits in a medium envelope!  Thank you to Gail B. for the great idea!

 This card, above is quick and easy!  Stamp an image in the center.  Then use coordinating ribbon to add a border!

 The hexagon punch is MUCH easier than cutting out the hexagon!  Plus, you can use the punch with Designer Series Paper (DSP).  The background is Gorgeous Grunge.

 Triple Time Stamping!  This card is monochromatic, but it looks great with multiple colors, too.  Here how-to:

top layer- 2 x 3 ¼

            (mat is 2 ¼ x 3 ½)

middle layer- 3 x 4 ¼

            (mat is 3 ¼ x 4 1/2 )

bottom layer- 4 x 5 ¼

            (mat is standard card base)

Lightly adhere all of the layers together with a small amount of adhesive.  Stamp your design, making sure you stamp on more than one layer.  Take layers apart and attach to the mats.  Then layer all together.

Smile!  A little embossing make this card pop!

Happy Stamping!

Stamping Fun Night April 2014

 We made the card, above, as a make-n-take.  Quick and easy, but it looks great!

 I demonstrated the card, above.  The background is direct-to-paper.  Just rub the ink pad on the paper!

The card, above, was another make-n-take.  Stamp the image on a square piece of card stock.  Cut into fourths.  Use the corner rounder punch to make 2 of the sides curved.  Put it all together and it is a card that makes you look twice!

Stamping Fun Night was fun!  Thanks to all those who attended.  It was great stamping with you!

Happy Stamping!

March Stamp Club

 This make-n-take was made by attaching paper scraps to a piece of card stock, and then running it all through the Big Shot.  I love the way the banner punch adds some fun color under the words!

The "hello" card was made with the Good as Gold card kit from the Sale-A_Bration catalog!

 The Sweet Sorbet DSP in the Sale-A-Bration catalog was used to make the "thankful for you" card.

For this card, we used a jumbo wheel to make the design in the center.  The rest is Basic Gray, Smoky Slate, Whisper White, and a little silver ribbon from the Occasions catalog to add some sparkle!

It was a fun night stamping with Stamp Club!

Happy Stamping!

February 2014 Stamp Club

 It's hard to see on the card, above, but there are score marks on the bottom 2/3 of the card.  The flowers are made with scallop circle punches.

 Some DSP makes this card quick and easy!

 It's been cold and snowy, so a little sunshine and green grass was needed!  The sun is made with a circle punch, the Bammer Blast stamp set, and the banner punch.

I had Todd find some leaves in the backyard.  There's always some oak leaves floating around our yard!  We used a brayer to apply ink to the leaves, then stamped on a masked area of the white card stock to make a background border.  The oak leaf image was stamped with Baked Brown Sugar, stamping off as we moved to teh outside.

Happy Stamping!
