Valentines and Birthday Cards

Here are the cards from this week’s club meeting.  I love getting together with you ladies!  You are all so much fun.  Because of the holidays and all it felt like it had been forever since we got together and it took me a few minutes to get back in routine.  It was great fun!!  And I wish you all could’ve seen the swap cards.  (Each month members have the opportunity to participate in a card swap with each other.)  There was a snow globe card, TWO stair step cards, embossing, glitter, bling, and more!!! 

Supplies used include:
Stamp Sets: With all my Heart, I {Heart} Hearts, Well Scripted
Punches: circle punches, Heart to Heart punch, scallop edge
Accessories/Embellishments: Circle scissors plus, Scallops Die #2, Chunky Essentials Glitter, white gel pen, corduroy buttons, Soft Suede polka dot ribbon, vintage brads, clear rhinestone brad

First Card of the New Year!

Wow – it was both great and difficult to put ink to rubber to paper today!  It has been waaaaay too long since I have stamped.  It was awesome to sit and stamp again but very difficult to get a groove going as well.  Let’s hope I’ve worked out some kinks and the next ones come more quickly and easily.

I started with the Mojo sketch from this week (I did stray a little from the sketch but that’s okay) and knew I wanted to play with two new stamps: I {Heart} Hearts and Well Scripted.

Even with a slight loss of clear chunky glitter to my stamp room floor (thanks to my 2 year old) I like the way it turned out and hope you do too (especially my stamp club members who will be making this Wednesday night!). 

The color is a little off (got a new camera for my birthday last month and still have A LOT to learn on it!) but the colors used are Real Red, Chocolate Chip, and Very Vanilla.

Tonight’s Marker Club Projects

Again, busy, busy!

Tonight’s projects include:
-  a gift card/money holder featuring the Top Note Die and Branch Out stamp set
- a card using one of my favorite Retiring Stamp sets, Heartfelt Thanks and also the Top Note Die with the Big Shot
- and a Totally Tool father’s day card.

Tonight’s Club Cards

So even though the blog doesn’t show it I have been very busy lately!  Here are the THREE projects for my fabulous club members tonight.  One is a waterfall card ( a very scaled down version of the fabulous waterfall card given to me a bit ago, more info here about that beauty), the second is a fun and simple shutter card, and the third uses punches to create some tres chic purses!  Lots of fun to be had tonight at club!  See you ladies soon.

Birthday Stars

The first meeting of the Twist Card club is this coming Monday night, so I finished designing the final card for club today and used the Mojo sketch to help me do so!  This is one of those sets I had to have months ago that I’ve NEVER used – until now.  You know you have those sets too!  Sets you have to have in your collection, can’t get rid of, but perhaps barely use!  LOL  No worries, stamps aren’t a terrible addiction to have!

Anyway… on to the card.
