March Club Projects

As I stated in an earlier post, I have been absolutely swamped with life right now! I'm a little behind in getting things posted to my blog. I know that you can't get these stamps or paper any longer but I still wanted to show you what we created at my club meeting in March. Some of these stamps and paper are from Stampin' Up!'s Sale-a-bration that finished the end of March. I'm have room for another member or two to my club, are you interested? Send me an email or a phone call and I'll hook you up!

This card too a little to get it to the final look but I love the way this one turned out! Abi helped pick out colors again! I love that she has such an eye for colors. She likes to help pick them out too! We used the rock 'n' roll technique to get the darker edges on the main design.

Stamps: Bliss

Ink: Regal Rose, Bravo Burgundy

Cardstock: Regal Rose, Old Olive, Bravo Burgundy, Whisper White

I saw a card similar to this one and I made it my own. My ladies really liked this one.

The last project was a mini pizza box. I had never made one of these before and it was a lot of fun. I think I may have to make a few more. The paper that makes the flower and the ribbon is Ice Cream Parlor that was only available during Sale-a-bration.

Ink: Old Olive, Peach Parfait

Cardstock: Pacific Point, Melon Mambo, Peach Parfait, Whisper White

Accessories: Ice Cream Parlor DSP and ribbon, Scallop punch, silver brad, scallop oval

Occasions Mini and Sale-a-bration swaps!

In December I participated in a swap for the Occasions mini and Sale-a-bration stamp sets. These are the cards that I did for that swap!

The first one is pretty plain. I sponged the Soft Suede base as well as the Regal Rose layer. The best part of this card is that I got to use the brand new Create a Cupcake stamp set and the coordinating punch, Build a Cupcake! LOVE IT!

Stamps: Create a Cupcake

Ink: Soft Suede, Early Espresso, Regal Rose, Pacific Point

Cardstock: Soft Suede, Pacific Point, Regal Rose, Whisper White

Accessories: Build a Cupcake punch, whisper white grosgrain ribbon, Perfect

Polkadots embossing folder, dimensionals

Here's my swap for Punch Bunch. My oldest daughter, Abi picked out the color combos for all 3 cards. I just love pink and brown together!

Stamps: Punch Bunch

Ink: Early Espresso

Cardstock: Early Espresso, Melon Mambo, Whisper White

Accessories: Scallop circle punch, 1 3/8" circle punch, Finial Press embossing folder, Early

Espresso marker, Whisper White satin ribbon, dimensional

This last card was for the new jumbo wheel, In Stitches. This is a really cool wheel. I have been wanting a stamp set that has stitching markings on it. When I first saw the wheel, I was really disappointed. I wanted a stamp set! Then it dawned on me. I could cut the rubber off the wheel and then cut the stitching markers so that they are separate! And guess what, I now have my stamp set! I just use a little adhesive to put it onto one of my clear blocks and then I can stamp with it! The best part, I got a  6 piece stamp set for only $8.50! Gotta love that! 

Stamps: In Stitches, Butterfly Prints

Ink: Tempting Turquoise, Wild Wasabi, Basic Black

Cardstock: Whisper White, Tempting Turquoise, Wild Wasabi

Accessories:  Butterfly punch, Basic Black grosgrain ribbon, twine, rhinestones, dimensional

Now you need to go find a swap and sign up! Go create something fabulous and share it with others!

Happy Stampin'!

January Club Projects

The first card that was done at my club meeting in January was also used for a shoe box swap that I did at my friend's house in Green Bay. Hi Kim!! We got together at Kim's house and we each brought a project for everyone to do. This was mine. The tops of the chocolates have crystal effects on it. Yummy!

Ink: Chocolate Chip

Accessories: Rose Red seam binding, Designer Label punch, scallop square punch, square lattice

This card was inspired by another card but I'm not sure where my copy of the picture went! Oh well, I don't think they ended up that close anyway. This card really made my club ladies say WOW! I showed them how to brayer the inside of their embossing folders and get a good ink transfer and they really liked this idea!
