January Stamp Club Projects

Well, since January is almost over already I thought I better share the projects my monthly stamp club put together!  This month I used quite a few items from the Occasions catalog and a few Sale-a-bration exclusive products as well.

The first card showcases the Lasting Lily stamp set from Sale-a-bration which is free with at $100 product order.  It is one of my favorites in the Sale-a-bration brochure!

The second card was made using the Grapefruit Grove/Lovely Lipstick foil sheets (SAB 2019), Lace dynamic impressions folder, Doily Builder thinlits, Coastal Cabana/Granny Apple Green reversible ribbon and the Forever Lovely stamp set.

Finally, for the layout I chose to showcase the Needlepoint Nook designer series paper collection, the layout is again a pretty simple one that can be customized however the user likes.

If you would like to join us sometime for either the monthly stamp club or either of my Virtual stamp clubs, please feel free to contact me here!

Classic Birthday

Here is another sample using the Geared up Garage stamp set and coordinating thinlits and designer series paper.  This time I colored the car in with Smoky Slate Stampin' Blends and I again used the Happy Birthday stamp from the Piece of Cake stamp set.

The different patterns of designer series paper from the Classic garage collection were scraps I had leftover from other projects and I decided to use several different ones in the background.  I also added a piece of Galvanized paper that was embossed with the Corrugated dynamic impressions folder to add a little texture.

January Paper Pumpkin Alternatives

This month's Paper Pumpkin kit contained 24 cute little pillow pouches and lots of extra supplies (as always) so after my daughter put together treat pouches for her classmates, I made a couple cards using some of the pieces and the stamps.

For the first one, I added some Whisper White card stock, Smoky Slate card stock that was embossed with the Dot to Dot impressions folder and a piece of Tropical Escape designer series paper.  I also added some white baker's twine that was leftover from a different kit.

For the second card, I added Whisper White card stock and used both Melon Mambo and Pool Party ink for some background stamping.  

These kits are always fun to put together and I always enjoy making alternative things with them as well.  You can sign up for yours right here!

Butterfly Sympathy

There are so many beautiful patterns in the Botanical Butterfly designer series paper collection - which is an item you can earn FREE with a $50 purchase during Sale-a-bration - and I have used on of the patterns on this simple sympathy card.

I chose a card base of Sea Foam Green and die cut a butterfly using the Butterfly thinlits (retired).  There is a strip of Balmy Blue card stock over the top of the designer series paper to break up the pattern a bit and I chose to use the Itty Bitty Greetings stamp set for my sentiment.  The sentiment is punched out with the classic label punch and popped up with Stampin' Dimensionals.

Jump for Joy

There are some really cute baby stamp sets in the Idea Book and Catalog as well as in the Occasions catalog and it is fun to have a few different options when I am in need of some baby cards!  

For this one, I chose the Sweet Baby stamp set which you can purchase in a bundle with the framelits that match or by itself.  I colored the image in with Stampin' Blends and used the retired Deco Label framelits to cut out the image.  There is a piece of Pool Party card stock that was embossed with the Tin Tile folder behind the framelit die cut to break up the Very Vanilla color on the rest of the card.

Sweet Cups

There are some adorable little treat cups in the Occasions catalog called Sweet Cups and they come in a package of eight. I decided to decorate one using the How sweet it is designer series paper and Coastal Cabana Granny Apple Green reversible ribbon.

To get the paper to fit the bottom of the cup properly, I actually took one of the sweet cups apart and made a template that I can save for future use.  The pieces are all adhered with Tear and Tape adhesive and the top piece was punched with the 2" circle punch.  Now to figure out what kind of good stuff to fill it up with!

Classic

I have been pulling out the Geared Up Garage bundle quite a bit lately to keep a bunch of masculine cards in my stash.  I like to mix up the patterns from the Classic Garage designer series paper when I put these cards together as well and usually use at least two of the patterns.  

I stamped and colored in my car using Cherry Cobbler and Smoky Slate Stampin' Blends and then die cut it using the Garage Gears thinlits.  There is a Basic Black 2 1/2" circle behind the car which is popped up with Stampin' Dimensionals.
