NOVEMBER STAMP CLUB - 2ND PROJECT

This was the second project we created in this month's Stamp Club.

The card should look a little familiar as I loved the sample in the catalogue so much that I just had to case the basics of the card.

Just love this Nature's Beauty Stamp Set which is also available in the Holiday Catalogue.

Stampin'Up! donate $4.25 from every one of these sets sold towards Mental Health Organisations.  A great cause to support and get a beautiful stamp set.

NOVEMBER STAMP CLUB

Sharing today one of the projects created in this month's Stamp Club using all new products from the Holiday Catalogue.

The stamp set used to create this scene is the Snow Front stamp set and will be great to also co-ordinate with the Waterfront stamp set to create lots of different scenes.

OCTOBER STAMP CLUB

Today's card is a Fancy Fold Card created in this month's Stamp Club showcasing the Let It Snow Suite of products.

Here is the outside of the card, and ....

the special inside of the card.

The Stamp Set (Snowman Season) has a co-ordinating Snowman Builder punch.  I love it when there is a co-ordinating punch with any stamp set.

The Let It Snow Specialty Designer Series Paper is also gorgeous with lots of sparkly bits and the punch will even punch out some of the snowmen.  The snowman on the front of my card is from the DSP.

SEPTEMBER STAMP CLUB

The new Holiday Catalogue is now available and I wanted to focus on the Feels Like Frost Designer Series Paper so both my cards are very simple to show off this most gorgeous paper.

We also used the new Silver Delicata Metallic Ink on the Christmas Bauble (from the Christmas Gleaming Stamp Set) and the Sentiment (from the Perfectly Plaid Stamp Set).

The second card also used the beautiful Feels Like Frost DSP as a background.  The leaves have been die cut with the Frosted Frames Dies from Melon Mambo and the very cute Heart die cut with the Stitched Be Mine Dies from Seaside Spray.  The sentiment is from the Wonderful Moments Stamp Set.

The products used to create these cards are here:

JULY STAMP CLUB - COME SAIL AWAY

Our project we created in the July Stamp Club.  This card was inspired by a Pinterest Pin from inspiringinkin.com.

The background has been created using drops of Ink Refills (Night of Navy, Coastal Cabana and Pacific Point) onto a piece of Shimmery White Cardstock.  The shimmer has been added by adding some Frost White Shimmer Paint.

JUNE STAMP CLUB - BIRD BALLAD

Our project from this month's Stamp Club.  We used the Bird Ballad stamp set to create this beautiful card.

There is a lot of Gold Heat Embossing on this card and colouring with Water Colour pencils.

APRIL STAMP CLUB PROJECTS

In this month's Stamp Club we learnt how to create some interesting backgrounds with sponging, water and shimmer paint.

As these projects are exclusive Stamp Club projects I can only share some basics with you. 

Our first card we used the Tea Together Stamp Set and the watercolour pencils to create the very pretty teapot and flowers.  A Shimmer Spray was used to add some lovely shimmer to the background.  (Created using some Isocol and Shimmer Paint in a spray bottle)

Our second card used some Lemon Lime Twist and Garden Green for sponging and then some random water dripped in small areas to create this unique background.

If you would like to know more about joining one of my monthly Stamp Clubs and the amazing benefits, please do not hesitate to let me know and I will send out more information to you.

MARCH STAMP CLUB - WATERCOLOURING

Sharing today the projects we created at this month's Stamp Club.

We tried our hand at a couple of different ways to watercolour the Lovely Lattice Stamp Set.  Lovely Lattice is a FREE Sale-a-Bration set which is so versatile and has so many possibilities for its use.

As these cards were Stamp Club projects I can't share instructions on how I created them (as these are exclusive to my Stamp Club members).

Stamp Club is a monthly club and is great for slowly building up your stash of products.  There is a minimum spend each month and each month one member becomes the hostess and receives the hostess benefits. 

If you would like to find out more about how you can become a member of a Stamp Club or how it all works, please do not hesitate to get in touch and I will send out some information.

OCTOBER STAMP CLUB

 Our projects from the October

Stamp Club.

Our first card we used the Good

Tidings Stamp Set to create one of the

very popular Eclipse cards.

Supplies used:

Stamp Set - Good Tidings
Ink Pads - Emerald Envy, Cherry Cobbler, Early Espresso
Cardstock - Whisper White, Cherry Cobbler
Large Letter Framelits

Our second project was a card and

tag using the Night in Bethlehem

Stamp Set and Dies.

This was a really simple card to create

and looked extra special by using

 Champagne Foil Sheets.

Supplies used:

Whisper White Notecards and Envelopes

Stamp Set - Night in Bethlehem

Dies - Bethlehem Edgelits Dies

Cardstock - Whisper White, Smoky Slate

Foil Sheets - Champagne

Stamp Pads - Smoky Slate

APRIL STAMP CLUB

Our two projects for this month's Stamp Club.

The first project was cased from the

Occasions Catalogue and used the very cute

Window Shopping Bundle as a card

rather than the traditional box.

I decided to create my own pattern to

show through the die cut area by

water colouring (using the Aqua

Painters) randomly with Emerald

Envy and Watermelon Wonder inks.

Our second project was also cased from

the Occasions Catalogue with a change

of colour and a couple of small additions.

This time we used the Special Reason 

Bundle.  I love the fact that

you can choose to either die cut

your flower as shown on the white

cardstock or completely cut out a

flower using the two dies as shown by

the red flower.

I think this makes this set extremely

versatile.

May Stamp Club

This month's projects from Stamp Club.

I decided this month to use a few

of my favourite stamp sets and

 colours etc that are being retired at

the end of the month which I

will miss greatly.

Our first card was created using the

technique of inking up the largest

clear block with Lost Lagoon, Pear

Pizzazz and Pacific Point which

was then spritzed with water creating

this lovely watery feel background.

The retiring stamps we used are

By The Tide and The Open Sea.

Our second card was created

with my favourite retiring card stock

Lost Lagoon and the retiring

stamp set Banner Banter and

it's co-ordinating punch.

We also learnt how to create the

grid look background.

The flowers look like they have been

die cut from Lost Lagoon card stock.

They have actually been stamped with

Lost Lagoon ink and then die cut.

March Stamp Club

Stamp Club for March was held last

night so today I am sharing the 2 projects

we created.

Our first project was created using the

Mini Treat Bag Die and the Balloon

Celebration Stamp Set and co-ordinating

Balloon Bouquet Punch.

The colours I chose to use were taken 

from the pieces of It's My Party DSP 

- Mint Macaron and Melon Mambo.

This photo shows the piece inside

which was stamped with a balloon so

that it would be just peaking through the

star cutout when placed inside.

Our second card again used the main colours

of Melon Mambo and Mint Macaron with

an accent of black.

This card was created by stamping various

flowers and leaves etc from the Botanical

Blooms Stamp Set onto the white layer

of cardstock.  I have also added a

little extra interest by adding three stamen

die cuts in black along the bottom right hand 

side of the layer.

The gorgeous flower and leaves have been

die cut using the Botanical

Builder Framelits Dies.  Love the fact

that you can stamp the leaf skeletons

onto your leaves giving them more interest.

The sentiment is from the Going Global

Stamp Set.

NOVEMBER STAMP CLUB

How did it get to November already.  

Time is just flying by so fast.

All of a sudden it is time for another

Stamp Club.

Our first card in Stamp Club was this 

gorgeous one layer only card created

very simply with masking and

sponging.

I have seen so many of these beautiful

cards around that I just had to try one for

myself.

I have created these types of cards before

but for a bit more inspiration I 

basically followed the tutorial which I 

found at this Link and was really easy 

to understand.  Thank you to Anns

Stamping and Scrapbook World.

The colours I have used are Night of

Navy and Tempting Turquoise and the

Stamp Set is Happy Scenes.

Our second card was inspired by cards

created by my wonderful team member

and shown on her blog Keep Stamping.

The colours I have used are Tempting

Turquoise and Pear Pizzazz for the

sponging.  The Christmas sentiment is

actually from the Oh' What Fun stamp set

which I have just stamped and cut out

the word Christmas.

AUGUST STAMP CLUB

Sharing our projects from this month's

 Stamp Club.

This month was all about Watercolour

Wings stamp set and

embossing.

Our first card was created in a black

and white theme.  The outside

of the butterfly has been stamped with

Black Memento Ink and the inside

stamped with Versamark Ink and

embossed in Silver.

We also used the Everyday Chic Washi

Tape along the bottom of the card.

Supplies used for this project:

Built for Free Using: My Stampin Blog

Our second card was created in the soft

pink of Blushing Bride and the

contrasting darker pink of Melon Mambo.

The middle of the stamped pink butterfly

was also stamped and embossed

with Irridescent Ice embossing powder
giving it a lovely sparkly look.

And, don't you just love the gorgeous

die cut butterflies used on both cards.  These

are part of the bundle when you purchase

the Watercolour Wings Bundle.

July Stamp Club

Our July Stamp Club projects were this beautiful

butterfly card and a cute little gift box created

with the Gift Bag Punch Board.

For our first project we used the Bohemian 

Washi Tape and the Butterflies Thinlets Dies to create our card. 

 I can't believe how simple it was

to create and how stunning it is.

These are the supplies I used
on this project:

Built for Free Using: My Stampin Blog

Our second project was a little gift box

created with the Gift Bag Punch Board.

This box was created to the smallest

size noted on the punch board.

Initial card stock being cut at 10" x 4".

This gives us a small box with the

completed dimensions of approx 2 1/2"

long, 2" wide and 1 1/2" high.

I also taught the Stamp Club members

how to create these super simple brown

paper flowers using a scallop punch

and 8 to 10 layers of the brown packing

paper we receive an abundance of in every

Stampin'Up! order we receive.

This a list of the supplies used in

this project:

Sunburst card and you will see that I

actually got mine upside down,

however, I still liked the effect.

I followed the tutorial on YouTube

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.

Stamp Club Thank You Cards

This month's Stamp Club Thank You Cards.

My upline/team member taught us

how to create this cute little card

 with the free SALE-A-BRATION

 Lotus Blossom Stamp Set at our last

team get together.

I just love the way she stamped the

third (top) layer with versa mark

and embossed with Iridescent Ice 

embossing powder to give a lovely sparkle.

I have created my thank you cards in

 two different colours - Strawberry Slush

and Coastal Cabana.

With the lighter colour ink you only

need to stamp your first image

 (bottom layer -number 3) and

then stamp your second image

 (second layer - number 2 ) over the top 

using the same ink colour.  Third image is 

stamped over the top again in Versamark

 Ink and embossed.

With the darker Strawberry Slush colour - 

my first layer I stamped off to give a little

lighter colour, second layer stamped normally

and third layer stamped in Versamark and embossed.
