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!

Stamps: Eat Chocolate

Cardstock: Rose Red, Chocolate Chip, Regal Rose

Ink: Chocolate Chip

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

embossing folder, dimensionals, ticket corner punch, sponge

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!

When I first saw this stamp set, I knew that I had to have it! My youngest daughter was a flamingo for Halloween! She loves this set. I also saw this card when I saw the stamp set. The background is the embossed inlay technique. My club loved this technique too!

November Club projects

I have a hostess group that meets every month. We make several projects every time we meet. These are the projects that we made in November. This card is very simple but I was pretty excited with the way it turned out! I did change it a little from what my ladies all stamped but you get the idea! The snowflakes have Platinum shimmer paint on them. I also stamped the ornament and the sentiment with shimmer paint on them. What I did to do this is ink up the stamp in the color that I wanted and then using a finger dauber, I sponged on the shimmer paint and then stamped.

Stamps: Tags til Christmas, Short & Sweet

Cardstock: Whisper White, Marina Mist

Ink: Marina Mist

Accessories: Platinum shimmer paint, finger dauber, Marina Mist ribbon, Northern Flurries embossing folder, Ticket corner punch, ornament punch, dimensional

These hand sanitizers have been all over the place. They are super fun to make! I followed directions from somewhere but not sure where. I made several extra and then sold them at a vendor fair that I was part of (hence the sign in the background!).

Stamps: Teeny Tiny Wishes, Dot, Dot, Dot

Cardstock: Pear Pizzazz, Poppy Parade, Whisper White, Soft Suede, Early Espresso, Basic Black

Ink: Poppy Parade, Soft Suede

Accessories: Wide oval, scallop circle, 1/2" circle, snowflake punches, crop-a-dile, 2-way glue, dazzling diamonds, dimensionals

Here's the inside. I didn't do anything to it. Ran out of time!

The last project we made required each member of the club to bring along a mini muffin tin. We punches scallops from Old Olive and Cherry Cobbler (don't you just LOVE this new, rich red? I do!) and circles from Holly Jolly designer series papers. I printed the numbers from my computer and we punched them with the 1/2" circle punch. Add some magnets and you have a great Advent calendar! We were trying to figure out what you could put behind the scallops as little gifts other than candy. Quarters are my favorite!

Edited to add: In searching for something else this evening, I found a picture of this advent calendar exactly like mine! The other one was posted this summer. I must have seen it and forgot! Mine has therefore been CASEd!

Stamps: none

Cardstock: Old Olive, Cherry Cobbler, Whisper White

Ink: none

Accessories: 2 3/8" scallop circle, 1/2" circle and 1 3/4" circle punches, Old Olive striped ribbon, magnets
