Homework Projects - a little late!

I like to give my stamp club members "homework" after our monthly classes.  If I forget - someone usually asks for it!  This is one way to keep the ladies stamping in between our classes.  Several months ago, I had everyone pick some scraps of Designer Series Paper out of these boxes.  I thought this was a clever way to store my scraps - but it wasn't working for me!  So, since I have a difficult time throwing away good paper - I had my stampers take as much as they wanted - to make anything they wanted for their homework.

Below are the cards that were completed:

Aren't they fabulous?!  I know some very creative stampers.  I usually have a contest to choose the winner - but this time I will give a prize to every stamper who leaves a comment reminding me which card is theirs!  Of course, other comments are welcome and appreciated!

Countdown to Christmas - 6 months!

Can you believe it?  Only six more months until Christmas.  On the 25th of each month, I have been posting a Christmas card and suggesting that you make a few cards each month, so you will be ready to send them out when the busy holiday season gets here.

This month's card is made with the White Christmas stamp set by Stampin' Up!  I was so excited to see that a few Christmas sets were included in the new annual catalog.  This is one that was carried over from last year's holiday catalog. 

I stamped the car and tree images on the new 100lb. weight Whisper White card stock using Stazon ink.  I colored the images using a blender pen and Stampin' Up! ink pads.  I used a stamp from Gorgeous Grunge to make the lines on the Soft Suede banner.  I made the banner using the new Triple Banner Punch.  The greeting is from Petite Pairs.  I did use a retired snowflake stamp and Versamark ink, to stamp on the Old Olive card base.

This was a quick and easy card to make.  I will be making a handful of these to go with the cards I made throughout the year.  Click on the name of the month to see the other Christmas cards I have been working on this year.:

Berry Basket & Berries

This was the 3D project we made at May's stamp club classes.  We used the new Berry Basket Bigz Die to make the strawberry baskets.  We stamped the sides of the basket with the Hardwood Background Stamp.

The strawberries were made using the retired Floral Framelits Dies.  You can view the You Tube video HERE to see how they were made.

Please CONTACT ME if you would like more information about my classes.

Congratulations!

At my stamp club classes in May, everyone made a book mark using Stampin' Up!'s new In Colors card stock.  I printed the color names on a 2" strip of card stock.  Everyone punched out butterflies using the matching card stock colors.  The top was punched using the Scalloped Tag Topper punch and the bottom was punched using the NEW Banner Triple punch.

I went on Pinterest to look for some more project ideas using the Banner Triple punch.   I found this cute card by Dawn's Stamping Thoughts.  It was actually made using the Banners Framelits Dies.  I just loved this design - especially since it was just graduation season.  This would be perfect to recreate in the grad's school colors.  So this ended up being the THIRD card we made at club - with a few changes to how the banners were cut.

If you would like to attend my stamp club classes and make cute cards like this - then please CONTACT ME for more information.

More In Color Cards

This was the second card we made at my May stamp club classes.  It is made using one of Stampin' Up!'s new In Colors: Watermelon Wonder.  Below are cards made using  all of the new colors.

The middle card was one of my originals - the butterfly is cut centered and straight.  I CASED the card from several that I saw on Pinterest.   At my classes, a few people decided to cut the butterfly on an angle - which make it look like a beautiful butterfly taking off in flight.  These cards are quick and easy to make for any occasion.

Which is your favorite new In Color?

The New In Colors!

This is the first card we made at my May stamp club classes.  I gave everyone a sneak peek at the new In Colors from Stampin' Up!  We used each of the new ink colors to stamp a different hexagon design using the Six-Sided Sampler stamp set.  The In Color used for the card stock mat is Tip Top Taupe.

The card below is matted on Cucumber Crush card stock.

Check back later for more projects made with the new In Colors.
