The RED cards

 Here are two more cards that Jean and Patti did for HOMEWORK.   Last month I was starting to run out of green cards, so Patti and Jean chose the red cards.  Again, I just like my stampers to stamp, so they are free to make any kind of card, and hopefully they will use Stampin' Up!'s fabulous products.

Since my November club meetings are coming up this weekend, I will choose a winner using random.org

The winner is.................................

Debbie

Oh, Christmas Trees!

Every month  I give my stamp club members HOMEWORK.   They like it so much that if I forget to assign it - someone will always ask me for it!  I give them each the same supplies and ask them to make a card to bring to next month's meeting.  I would like for them to use all the supplies I gave them in some way, and to use Stampin' Up! products.  But I am very lenient when it comes to the rules.  I just like for them to take the time to stamp in between our monthly meetings.  I choose a winner at random and she gets to pick something from my prize basket.  Everyone who brings a card to show can pick a smaller prize from my goody basket.

These are the "Green" cards that were brought to October's meetings.  The card above is Anna's card.  Love the non-traditional Christmas Tree!  What a fun way to use the Candy Dots.  Below is the inside of her card.

The card below is Debbie's card - outside, then inside:

The trees were from the same stamp set Anna used for her card.  It is a retired set - sorry, but I do not remember the name.  Debbie's card could easily be made using the ever popular set Lovely as a Tree...which is the set Lisa used to make her card below:

Lisa even stamped her envelope!

Stop back tomorrow to see the "RED" homework cards.

Chalkboard Technique

This is the third project we made at October's stamp club meeting, using the Chalkboard Technique.  I have seen lots of cards like this on the Stampin' Up demonstrator website and wanted to try making one.  This would be a cute card for a teacher or to place on someone's desk for their birthday.  If you would like to make a card like this, CONTACT ME and I will forward directions to you.  Or better yet, gather your friends together (your place or mine) and I will teach you how to make this card.

November stamp club meetings are this weekend, so be sure to ask me how to join in the fun! GO TO MY STAMPIN' UP! WEBSITE for a list of dates/times and to RSVP.

Halloween Flip Card

We made this flip card at my October stamp club meetings, using the new Circle Card Thinlits Die and the Big Shot.  This is a WOW! card that is super simple to make.  We adhered the Witches' Brew Designer Series Paper to the card stock first and cut both layers at the same time.  The die will cut and score the paper so all you do is fold!  We used the stamp set Halloween Hello to stamp the witch, greeting, and candlesticks (on the back of the moving section.)  We made the moon by making a stencil using a circle punch and a scrap of card stock and then sponging on the yellow (Summer Starfruit) ink right on top of the image of the witch.

 Below is the same card but with a different pattern of Witches'Brew Designer Series Paper.  I added some orange ink (Pumpkin Pie) to the moon and also sponged around the edges of the white card stock circle.

A Little Late!

I am getting ready for my November stamp club meetings and I realized I never posted the projects from October!  This is the 3D project we made - a cute candy box just the right size for a Reese's peanut butter cup (or a small bag of Skittles, M&Ms, etc.)  We made this project using the new envelope punch board.  What an awesome tool!  You can use it for much more than just making envelopes.  (Although you can make 66 different sizes of envelopes!)

We used Versamark Ink to stamp the candy images on the Pumpkin Pie card stock. This was one of my favorite products when I first started stamping and didn't have a lot of ink colors.  It is a clear ink that will show up just a shade darker than the paper you are stamping on.
