Two more samples using Springtime Vintage paper

January Stamp Club Meeting

At our meeting this month we made a variation of the never ending card that I did for my shoebox swap and another card using the Springtime Vintage paper; the sheet that is mostly the color of baja breeze.
































Shoebox Swap Jan 22, 2011

At my upline meeting in Jan. we had a Shoebox Swap. We all get together and bring in projects (cards, scrapbook pages, 3D gift ideas) and then we actually get to make everyone else's project. This is a lot of fun and gives us new ideas that we can bring to our own customers. The following are two of my projects (they did one of my projects in the morning and the other one in the afternoon) ...

This first card is called a never ending card. This is a great technique and the card itself is only 2 - 4 1/4 x 5 1/2 pieces of cardstock. When the pieces are put together a certain way you can keep opening it up to see the 4 different views. Clear as mud... it is better if you see this card in person. If you would like to learn how to make a card like this one (this one is a Valentine but could just as easily be an Anniversary or birthday Card) just let me know!






















My second project was this really pretty tissue box using our new Springtime Vintage Designer series paper and the new "Baby Blossoms" set as well as our new vintage flower adornments. Here are the front, side and top views.










An engagement card using another new set

This is the engagement card I made for my nephew and his future bride. It uses the new word set "A word for you".


November Stamp Club

A couple of male oriented cards and one pretty card... The owl is punched out using the new owl punch; he is just so cute. The Trees are from Trendy Trees; the tree I used for this card is definitely my favorite of the set. The "Morning Cup" stamp set is one of my two favorite sets in our new catalog. My other favorite is the "Elements of Style" set that was in the summer mini and made it into the 2010 - 2011 Idea Book & Catalog.
