Love and Happiness

This is another bridal shower card I put together recently for a customer order. I used the current stamp set Beautiful Motifs for the sentiment and the retired Pockets Thoughts stamp set for the ring. 


The ring is stamped first with Memento Black ink and then the diamond is filled in with retired White Shimmer paint and the band is stamped with Metallic Gold ink. (This stamp set has an option for two step stamping on the ring).
I used a piece of Pretty Peacock card stock embossed with the Timeworn Type embossing folder in the background with a piece of Floral Charm designer series paper on part of it.
The die cut for the sentiment and ring is made with the Texture Notes dies.


Supplies:
Beautiful Motifs, Pocket Thoughts

June Stamp Club Projects

I am pretty behind with sharing our Stamp Club projects for the last few months - these are the June projects, and they focus on quite a few items that demonstrators used for the Creativity Now

The layout uses Peace on Earth designer series paper and stickers from the Peaceful Days scrapbooking workshop kit - these items along with the Peace on Earth stamp set will be in the Holiday catalog coming up in September.


The first card uses the same designer series paper as the layout along with the Peace on Earth stamp set and Scenic Adventure set.


The last project uses the Texture Notes dies and 2025-2027 In Color designer series paper.


We always welcome guests or new members - contact me for more information.
