Happy Stampers January Projects

Another Flash Card from Connie Stewart

At our Happy Stamper's Club meeting last Wednesday night we made another Flash Card from Connie Stewart's Simply Simple Stamping blog. For this card I used the following Stampin' Up! products:

• Card stock: Whisper White, Real Red and Pink Pirouette
• Real Red Classic Stampin' Pad
• You Are Loved stamp set
• Punches: Full Heart and Small Heart
• Big Shot with Adorning Accents Folder
• Other: Dimensionals and Basic Rhinestone

Our final project for our stamping club was a fun card from Stamp & Scrap with Frenchie using the Blossom Builder Punch in a new and fun way!

Valentine Kisses

The "kisses" were made by slipping a strip of Silver Glimmer Paper into the Blossom Builder Punch and punching part of the largest petal. France has a video that will show you exactly how to make this card. Her videos are fun as well as instructional.

For this card I used the following Stampin' Up! products:

• Cherry Cobbler and Basic Black card stock; Silver Glimmer Paper; Vellum
• Sentiment from Teeny Tiny Wishes
• Big Shot with Adorning Accents Embossing Folder

I hope you enjoyed seeing our stamping projects. We really enjoyed making them:) 

Have a great day!

September Thank You Cards

I am not accomplishing near what I hoped to while my hubby is out of town BUT I did make my Cupboard Trilogy Design Team card (shhh...can't show it to you till October 1) plus 12 thank you cards for my September customers. I only made one like the one pictured--simplified it just a bit for the rest. Today I am making 8 more for my husband's solar clients plus two birthday cards and two sympathy cards.

I have France Martin from Stamp & Scrap with Frenchie to thank for this very fun card technique. She calls it the Fall Rainbow. The link will take you to her video tutorial. I gotta tell ya, this is one talented lady...and funny too! I love her videos! I figured if she made 120 of these cards, I could make 20:)

For this card I used the following Stampin' Up! products:

• Very Vanilla and Cajun Craze cardstock
• Creative Elements stamp set
• Classic Stampin' Pads: Old Olive, More Mustard, Pumpkin Pie, Cajun Craze and Early Espresso
• Labels Collection Framelits; Square Lattice Embossing Folder; Big Shot
• Other: Dimensionals (of course); Mini Glue Dots; Pear Pizzazz Seam Binding (retired); Basic Rhinestones; Stamping Sponges

The picture on the right is more what the cards looked like for my customers except I used the Create stamp instead of Thank You. The card pictured on the right is what my hubby's solar clients' card look like. I used the sentiment from the Day of Gratitude stamp set and changed the seam binding to Always Artichoke after running out of Pear Pizzazz. I think I like the Always Artichoke better, don't you?

One more picture to show you what I did on the inside. I simply took a strip of the torn card stock I used to make the card front, placed it at an angle, sponged two colors then stamped with the flower image. 

This was a really fun card to make. I hope you will give it a try. I will be back tomorrow with another card or two but until then, Happy Stamping!
