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.

August Card Class

Projects from August Card Class

This month we created both a

Father's Day card and a male themed

birthday card as well as a 

pretty girly card.

Our Father's Day card was created with

 very nautical The Open Sea stamp set. 

 Always great for male cards.  To create the

mottled blue effect we randomly stamped

the background stamp from the You'v Got This

Stamp Set.

Our second male themed card was a

birthday card in the always popular 

male colours of Night of Navy 

and Tip Top Taupe.

Stamp sets used to create this card were 

Banner Banter, Bohemian Borders and a

  birthday greeting stamp from the retired

 Happiest Birthday Wishes Stamp Set.

It is a bit difficult to tell from this photo

but the Tip Top Taupe piece of card stock

was embossed with the Boho Chic Embossing

Folder which had been inked with Crumb

Cake ink first.

Of course, we also needed to create a pretty

girly card.  Stamp set used here is Garden

in Bloom - one of my new favourite sets.

Colours used were Calypso Coral and 

Mint Macaron.

Card Swap

I have created this Father's Day card for a card swap I am participating in at the moment.  I have used my favourite male themed stamp set "The Open Sea" together with a tag stamp from the "Notable Notions" set which I was lucky enough to win at convention.  Hope the recipient likes it.

Supplies used:  Cardstock - Very Vanilla, Night of Navy, Stamp Sets - The Open Sea, Notable Notions, Inkpads - Night of Navy, Cherry Cobbler,  Soft Suede (for sponging), DSP from Print Poetry paper stack (now retired), Cherry Cobbler Bakers Twine, Silver Mini Brad, Punch - Word Window,  Framelits Die

FEBRUARY CARD CLASS

Just a reminder that February's card class will be here soon.  Class is being held on Thursday 23rd February.  Please see class page for further details or you can also check out my Stampin'Up! Website.


We will be creating some cards for the males in our life and here is a sneak peak of one of the cards we will be creating.  I will keep the others a surprise.

This card is an Easel Card and has been created using one of the new stamp sets in the Summer Mini Catalogue together with some of the new twine.

I find male cards the hardest to create so I was very happy when Stampin'Up! brought out this stamp set.
