May Card Class

This month's class was all about

using the Envelope Punch Board 

in our projects.

To start with we created a simple

 envelope to match with our male

themed card.

We also created a mini envelope to add

to the embellishment of our card.

Stamp set is Balloon Bash from the 

Occasions Catalogue and 

the Alphabet Press Embossing Folder, both

products I am going to miss as they

are retiring.

DSP - In Colour Paper Stack Mossy Meadow

special.

MAY STAMP CLUB

Sharing our projects from this month's 

Stamp Club.

Our first card I took my inspiration

from the latest Impressions Magazine

(one of the awesome products Stampin'Up!

provides for all of its demonstrators for

inspiration etc).

As the 2013/2015 In Colours are

about the retire (and I have loved

 these colours so much and will be sad

to see them go)  I decided to use

a combination of Crisp Cantaloupe and

Coastal Cabana.  

Our second card was created using

the Balloon Bash Stamp Set which

is current in the Occasions Catalogue

however, has not carried over into the

new Annual Catalogue.  I love the

versatility of this set so wanted to use it

one more time before it retires also.  You

will see the sentiment in the first card is

also from this stamp set.  I love the way

you can fussy cut out the banner to make 

it a little different.

Happy Birthday Bow Card

How great is this fantastic Bow Builder Punch.  Makes very quick and easy bows.

Today's card is pretty much a case of the card created by Stampin'Up! on page 12 of the new Occasions Catalogue.

As I haven't bought any of the new paper at this stage I decided to create my bows with the Moonlight Paper Stack with all the current in colours available in the current catalogue.

Also to create a little bit of a different look I stamped the confetti image from the Balloon Bash Stamp set all around the edge in Hello Honey Ink.

The Happy Birthday Sentiment is also from the Balloon Bash Stamp Set.  I have just used my marker to color only the Happy Birthday word from the whole image.

Supplies used:

Cardstock - Whisper White, Blackberry Bliss

Paper - Moonlight Paper Stack

Ink Pads/Markers - Hello Honey, Blackberry Bliss

Stamp Set - Balloon Bash

Punch - Bow Builder
