Oh So Eclectic

These are the projects we made back in October at my stamp club classes.  We usually make two cards and one 3D item - but in October we ended up making 4 cards instead.  All of these cards were made using the Oh So Eclectic stamp set from Stampin' Up!

I think the card below is my favorite of the set.  Love the Powder Pink and Black color combonation - with a hint of Lemon Lime Twist.

The ladies at my stamp club class thought the card below was a lot of work.....but it did turn out pretty and would make a great card for a special friend.  The three flowers, leaves, and open patterned design were cut from the coordinating Eclectic Layers Thinlits Dies.  The flowers were backed with vellum.  You can purchase the stamp set and dies as a bundle - and you will save 10% (through May 31, 2018.)

The card below is a little quicker to make, using the Naturally Eclectic Designer Series Paper in addition to the stamp set and dies.  If you look carefully at the close up photo - you will see that we stamped the flower image using Versamark- which adds a little interest to the background of the card.

The card below uses the "negative" space leftover when cutting out the flower.  Also, this set of dies has two pieces that do not cut - they just make an embosses image on the card. You can see one of these images (leaves) in the close up photo below.

I didn't think I needed another flower stamp set and dies - but this set is so pretty and very versatile - that I just had to add it to my collection.

This is a card that we made at my December stamp club classes.  I designed projects that used retiring products from the 2017 Stampin' Up! Holiday catalog - products that you can only get through TOMORROW, January 2.  You can see all of the projects we made by CLICKING HERE.

The Happy New Year card came about because I did not want to waste the Silver Foil paper that we used when making the card below:

On this card, I cut a piece of silver card stock 4 x 5.25 to place behind the white piece embossed with the snowflake and the snowflake strip of paper.  That is a lot of silver card stock that is just being covered up - so I used my Large Numbers dies and cut out "2018" from the top portion of the silver - then covered the holes using the white embossed piece. 

This is how I positioned the numbers when cutting them out from the silver card stock using the Magnetic plate and the Big Shot.

Here is the card stock with the numbers removed.

I glued the silver card stock to the front of a Whisper White card.

This shows the embossed piece - covering the holes!

Then I added the strip of Designer Series Paper.

I took the numbers that were cut from the silver card stock to finish the "Happy New Year" card.  I cut a 3 x 4 1/4 piece of Year of Cheer card stock and adhered it to a Whisper White card base.  Then I cut a gold banner to put behind the numbers "2018."   I added the greeting from the Teeny Tiny Wishes stamp set punched out using the Classic label punch.

Other retiring products you don't want to miss are the foil snowflakes and the snowflake embossing folder.

Remember - TOMORROW, January 2, 2018 is the last day to get most of the products I used on these cards.  CLICK HERE to see all of the items that are being discontinued - many of them are on sale!
