September Stamp Club Projects

As is usually the case, we used lots of different designer series paper on our projects for September. There are pieces from the Regal Winter, 2023 - 2025 In Color, Country Woods, and Mediterranean Blooms collections used.

The layout uses the Mediterranean Blooms designer series paper collection along with coordinating card stock colors and die cute made using the Greetings of the Season dies.

On our first card, we used both the Regal Winter collection and Country Woods designer series paper, pairing them with the Wildflower Designs stamp set. The image is colored in with Stampin' Write Markers.

Lastly, we used the 2023-2025 In Color designer series paper in coordination with the Forever Plaid 3d embossing folder and Deckled Circles dies. The stamp set is called Caring Leaves, and the sentiment is stamped on a die cut make with the 

Happy Little Things dies.

I get quite a few orders for bridal shower cards and sometimes I feel like I need more options for the sentiments so for this card I printed the sentiment on card stock and then added stamped images from the Spotlight on Nature stamp set.

The stamped piece is matted with Misty Moonlight card stock and the Country Woods designer series paper layer is matted with Early Espresso card stock. There are a few Tinsel Gems Four Pack embellishments to complete the card.
