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.

ANOTHER BOTANICAL BLOOMS CARD

My second card using the Botanical Blooms Stamp Set.

Again I have only used the framelit dies to create the flowers and the sentiment is again from the FREE Sale-a-Bration Stamp Set Sky is the Limit stamped in Black Memento Ink.

This card has been created in the very simple colours of black and white and is basically a one layer card.  I used the Softly Falling Embossing Folder to create some texture in the background.

BOTANICAL BLOOMS

While I have been very busy trying to get my craft room built and ready for the Open House/Catalogue launch this weekend I have also found some time to have fun playing with some of the new stamp sets I just received so that I could make samples for the weekend.

I couldn't wait to use the Botanical Blooms Stamp Set and co-ordinating Botanical Builder Framelits Dies.

In actual fact, this card only uses the Framelits Dies.  I think I was even very clever and created the black decorative piece by die cutting the middles of the flowers in a pattern from the black card stock and then using it on my card which looks very effective.

The sentiment is from the FREE Sale-a-Bration Stamp Set Sky Is The Limit and I have used the  Decorative Label Punch to punch it out.  I am always using this punch, it is just so versatile.
