July Stamp Club Projects

For this month's Stamp Club our  projects were created by using a few different embossing techniques.

The first card has had the background piece of cardstock randomly sponged, run through the Big Shot machine and then embossed with gold embossing powder.

The sentiment has also been embossed with gold embossing powder.

These techniques have given this card a really gorgeous vintage look.

Supplies used:  Cardstock - River Rock, Very Vanilla, Whisper White, Island Indigo, Inks - Crumb Cake, Soft Suede, Old Olive, Marina Mist, Versamark,  Gold Embossing Powder, Vintage Wallpaper Embossing Folder, Perfectly Penned Stamp Set, Vintage Brads, Chantilly Lace, Pinking Hearts Border Punch


Our next card has had the background piece again run through the Big Shot - but this time the embossing folder was inked up with versamark embossing ink and once the background piece was run through the Big Shot it was sprinkled with black embossing powder and heat set.  Next we randomly gold embossed sections to highlight  areas.

Supplies used:  Cardstock - Cherry Cobbler, Basic Black, Very Vanilla, First Edition Specialty DSP, Inks - Cherry Cobbler, Versamark, Embossing Powders - Gold and Black, Vintage Wallpaper Embossing Folder, Blossom Punch, 1 1/4" Cherry Cobbler Striped Grosgrain Ribbon, Pearls, Happy Birthday Sentiment from a retired set.

I will be providing instructions for this card on a page I will set up specifically for tutorials.

Happy Birthday Dad

The card I am sharing with you today I created for my Dad's birthday which was yesterday.  We had a family lunch together which was really nice.  Hope you enjoyed your special day Dad.

As I have already given him cards I have created with the sailing boat, the motor bike and the Open Seas stamp set  I decided I needed to come up with something different to those typically male cards.

I decided on using the French Foliage stamp set, which I have to admit I absolutely had to have at the time, absolutely love it, but just don't seem to have had the time to get around to using it yet.  I chose some complimentary colours (Soft Suede, Old Olive, Crumb Cake, Chocolate Chip and Cajun Craze) and randomly stamped images all over my background of Very Vanilla.  Completed the card with the gorgeous Happy Birthday sentiment from the Perfectly Penned stamp set.

Supplies used:  Cardstock - Chocolate Chip, Very Vanilla, Old Olive, Cajun Craze, Inkpads - Crumb Cake, Soft Suede, Old Olive, Chocolate Chip, Cajun Craze, Stamp Sets - Perfectly Penned and French Foliage, Bakers Twine and Brads
