Parlez Vous Francais?

Well, I have all these cards in my stamping space to show you and haven't taken a picture of a single one!  LOL  So, because I feel the NEED to share SOMETHING with you I'm going to share another card that my club members made at our last Technique Club.  The Medallion stamp was inked up with Versamark(R) and then spritzed with the Gold Glow smooch spritz.  This sparkly technique was taught to us at our Regionals event some of us attended last month.  I love it!  The card itself is a pretty close to CASE to the one they showed at Regionals.  I love it.  I love the sparkle, the soft colors, and the slight vintage feel the crochet ribbon and Eiffel Tower bring to the card.  How about you?  What do you think?

(It's hard for a photography novice such as myself to get a good picture of the gold glow smooch, but I think you can get the general idea!) 

Edited:

Just realized I have a picture of the original card from Regionals.  It shows the smooch much better (they used a different color smooch.)

May’s Card Club Projects

Last week our Card Club met and created the cards below.  Apparently I was in a vintage kinda mood when I created these!!

We used the Medallion stamp to create the look of lace on the card to the left.  You can't really see it here but there is Iridescent Ice Embossing powder on the background of the center card.  We used lace to get it there!  And the card on the right used the scallop punch in a fun to create a flower popping off the card!

Club members – head to your section for more details.

Stamp Sets Used: Medallion, Fresh Cuts, Great Friend, Vintage Vogue (sorry, that was in the last mini!)

April’s Card Club Projects

Here are tonight’s cards.  I love that I have green grass in the picture!  LOVE spring!

1) use re-inkers and a baby wipe to make your own stamp pad (floral card)

2) emerging color (Medallion card)

3) suspended image (butterfly card)

Hope you are all well!

Take care,

Tonight’s Stamp Camp Projects

Tonight was the kick off to our Six Stamp a Stack class series.  Each stamper created 12 cards, 3 each of the four designs seen below.  The back two cards were designs of mine and the front two were variations of others I found online.  All told we made 6 wintery thank you cards and 6 birthday cards in under 2 hours!  And had fun while doing it!!

Our next one is scheduled for January 5th.   We’d love to have you stamp with us!  We’ll be creating 6 Valentine cards and 6 Anniversary/Wedding cards.  For more information click here.   To RSVP for the 5th please click here.  Thank you!

Scrapbook Club Projects

I {heart} scrapbooking!  And I love having the scrapbook club back in action cuz it helps me get more pages ready to go!  So here’s some ‘before’ shots of the pages for this month.  And hopefully VERY soon I’ll get some ‘after’ shots with pictures on them!

I used the new Night & Day Specialty Designer Papers as well as a LOT of punches on this layout.  I love how versatile the Baroque Motifs stamp set is as well.  Who would’ve thought it would be a great stamp set for Halloween??  But when I pulled out the Night & Day designer paper I immediately thought of Baroque Motifs.  Hope you like it too! 

Here’s the second layout for the scrapbook club members and guests.  Again, I used the Night & Day Specialty Designer paper.  This time I pulled out my Medallion background stamp, inked it up with Frost White shimmer paint and stamped it half on each page.  I also did a ton more punching to make that spider (scallop circle and photo corner punches) and used the Big Shot to get the Build a Bear.  I used a marker to color a toothpick Elegant Eggplant and used that as the holder for the Happy Halloween banner the little bear is holding.
