It's Spring! Finally!
We are going to do some cards that remind us of spring and summer.

SAMPLE #1

It's hard to tell that the cover of this card consists of images stamped on acetate. Stamp club members will choose from one two samples.

SAMPLE #2

The second card reminds me of the time that we went to the ocean on the west coast of Florida for the first
time. We watched a group of sandpipers running on the beach as the waves washed food on shore.
This is my impression of that memory.

March Cards:

Simply stamping with black ink and colouring the images using the "masking Technique" creates a stunning card.

I used Secret Garden and Creative elements. To give this card a little bit of bling you can add a rhinestone to the centre  of the large flowers.

I LOVE VELLUM!

BE CAREFUL stamping and embossing on vellum. You can also stamp on vellum with Stazon ink .

This card is a great way to use up scrap designer paper. Who doesn't love to shop?

People Like You

The soft hues of Pear Pizzazz  contrasted with a vibrant splash of Island Indigo highlights this stamp.

I used People Like You, Very Vintage and Everything Elenor to create this card. Add a couple of rhinestones just to give it a little bling! There you have it!

Peaceful Petals

A subtle clutter of stamps make the perfect background to showcase this stamp set!

I used En francais, Peaceful Petals, Fabulous Florets and French Foliage .
Tempting Turquoise makes everything pop.

Cards for Men!

We are back! These are the cards I created for January Stamp Club. I thought I would focus on cards for men. This is the card we will be making at Stamp Club. I used Clockworks and Sense of Time to create this card.

 

This is the same template but I used the "World Map" and "Word Play" stamps to create this card and changed the cardstock from black to Elegant Eggplant.

This next card is quick and easy!

 

I used Off the Grid, Bring on the Cake and French Foliage to create this card. I like Coastal Cabana.It is such a contrasting colour to what we are experiencing here. I wish I was someplace warm!

 

Winterfrost Christmas Card Stack

These cards were made with the Winterfrost Designer Paper Stack found on page 29 in the Holiday Happiness mini catalogue.

2013 Christmas Card Workshop

It's that time of year! Time to start making your Christmas Cards.  A little watercolour looks stunning and makes this poinsettia stand out.

I love my  "Lovely as a Tree" stamp set and it is  "picture perfect" for this card. It also is not the standard 5 1/2" x 4 1/4" size. Something different for a change.

Remember the  Faux Mother of Pearl technique? This is a variation of that technique. Who doesn't love embossed images on glossy cardstock.
