April Stamp Club

There are 4 versions of this next card that uses a white washing technique.  First you emboss in white and then you take an aqua painter and dip it onto a whisper white craft ink pad and then paint the inside of the designs.  Then you take markers and blender pens and color over the white in the designs. This is such an incredible technique... so simple, yet so elegant.

 

The Second card was made with Oh, Whale! stamp set, Sunshine & Sprinkles paper, Oh Wave! wheel, Cloudy day embossing folder. Paper doilies, and the Happy Whale Clearlits Die.

Some more samples using sets from the SAB

 These two were made using Feeling Sentimental. 

This card uses the Bloomin' Marvelous Stamp set.   The background for this card was made using a one sheet wonder technique.   First you stamp all over a 8 1/2" x 11" sheet of Whisper White card stock and then you cut it up and use the pieces to make several cards. I also died the Flower Trim (Mini) the same color as the ribbon using a Aqua Painter.

March Stamp Club

We made 3 cards for march. 

By the tide card...  This was made using a sponging technique.

These next two cards used stamp sets and accessories from both the SAB (Sale-a-Bration) brochure and the mini catalog.  First card uses Madison Ave and pretty petites stamp sets with the designer builder brad and Ovals collection framelits die from the mini, and the vine street folder from the SAB,

This card uses the Feeling Sentimental set and the new Soda Pop Tops.

Two more flip down card samples

These flip down cards were so much fun to make.   The first one was made with what has to be my favorite set of the catalog Serene Silhouettes.   The second was made using Nature Walk.

If you like these cards and would like to make one for yourself, I would be happy to show you and some of your friends how to make this fun card.  It's not as hard as it looks!

February Stamp Club Cards

This first card I actually made for a swap and then used it for my club.  It is called a flip down stack card.   Once you get the hang of it....it really is pretty simple for such a dramatic card.  This first picture is what the card looks like closed and the second picture is what the card looks like open.  It is held up with a velcro dot (or you can use small craft magnets).  It uses the pinwheel sizzlits die from the Spring Mini catalog and the sweets for a sweet set from the main catalog 2012-2013.

The second card that we did was a Easter Marquee card...  I used the Everybunny stamp set from the main catalog and the Spring sampler set from the mini.

Feb 2013 - 3D Swap

This is a "Love" frame that I made for Valentine's Day, but is generic enough to be left out all year. It was made using a lot of items from the Spring Mini catalog, as well as the new Valentine's Set ("You Are Loved"from our main catalog.   From the mini, I used the Honeycomb embossing folder and the big shot with the Primrose petals Core'dination Card Stock for the right side of the frame.  I used the delicate details Lace tape (cut into pieces) and the new "Bitty Butterfly" punch as well as some of my old favorite accessories... the Dotted Scallop Ribbon border punch, decorative label punch, Hearts Collection Framelits, whisper white craft ink, Silver Glass Stampin' Glitter, and the Primrose Petals 3/8" stitched satin ribbon. I had so much fun making this frame.  Thanks for looking!
