Hip Hip Hooray

In July, my Stamp Club wasn't able to meet and instead of doing the usual layout and two cards for them, I put together two cards and gave them some extra products to play around with. These are the cards for July using the Balloon Festoon bundle and the Silly Old Bear Suite.

The die cut balloons are made with the Beautiful Ordinary Life designer series paper and I added some self-adhesive gems for accents.

Turn any project into a party with the Balloon Festoon Bundle. You’ll get playful sentiments, festive images, and dies with layered balloons, strings, and accents that add fun to your designs. Simple to use and easy to work into your crafting, this bundle is all about adding cheer whenever your projects call for a little celebration.

The Silly Old Bear designer series paper has too many fun designs to pick from sometimes, but I chose the pattern with all the characters for this card. 

The honeypots are colored with Stampin' Blends, and the honey is highlighted with the Golden Glow Shimmer Brush to add a little extra.

Add nostalgic charm to your crafting with patterned paper featuring illustrations inspired by beloved childhood characters. The Silly Old Bear 12" x 12" (30.5 x 30.5 cm) Designer Series Paper includes playful companions, woodland scenes, picnics, jam jars, and maps along with all-purpose designs.

So Much Love

There are lots of upcoming products used on this card, including some items from the Hot Foil System. The embossing folder, Lazy Daisy, and the specialty designer series paper, Bloom Boutique, are both current products.

The stamp sets I used are called Collage Botanicals and Thinking of You and I used the Flourish Frames Hot Foil Dies for the outline and cut of the larger piece along with the half circles on each side of it. The outline foil is Light Pink, and the half circles are Gold Foil. I am just starting to experiment with the Hot Foil System, and it definitely adds a nice feature to projects.

There are a few retired embellishments used as well for accents.

August Stamp Club Projects

While I am behind by a couple month sharing Stamp Club projects, I thought I would start with the current ones we did in August.

The scrapbook layout showcases the upcoming Sunflower Fields designer series paper and also uses a die cut from the Scalloped Blooms dies.

Our first card uses the Begonia Belle stamp set, Scalloped Blooms dies, and a retired embossing folder.

Finally, we used another retired embossing folder, Violet Dreams designer series paper, again the Scalloped Blooms dies and Greenery Lane stamp set.

Craft lovely cards and tags adorned with graceful flowers using the Begonia Belle Stamp Set. The two begonia images can be stamped together to build a flower with depth or used on their own to create different perspectives. A bud stamp is sized to rest loosely over the stem image for another option, and leafy accents help complete the flower. Finish your project with one of the sweet sentiments, perfect for sending a warm thank-you or a heartfelt wish.

This is a Two-Step Stampin’ set; it allows you to layer two or more images to create one final image with extra texture and dimension in the colors you want.
