April Stamp Club

 

I tried to go with some fun spring colors for the layout this month using the Painted Blooms designer series paper and Mother's Love stamp set.

 

For the cards, I chose one that could be used for graduation or other occasions along with one showcasing one of the newest photopolymer stamp sets.

 

My background on this one is the Maritime designer series paper and the sentiment is from Adventure Awaits.

 

And finally, some Flashback designer series paper and the Lovely Amazing

You and Draw the Line stamp sets.

 

 

Dreaming of Gold Mining

 

This is one of the layouts I put together at the scrapbooking retreat a couple of weekends ago.  My boys love the tv show called "Gold Rush" and dream of going to Alaska to mine for gold themselves so we took some pictures of them on some heavy machinery one day.  

 

I had another picture of them tearing out a beaver dam and thought I would add it to the page as well.  The layout isn't difficult or complex, but I like the way it turned out.

 

Supplies:

Painted Petals, Draw the Line, Project Life Remember This

Night of Navy ink

Night of Navy, More Mustard, Old Olive, Crumb Cake card stock

Gold designer buttons

 

Way to Go!

This scrapbook page is part of my "catch up" process...will I ever really catch up?  Probably not, but I like to hope I can someday!

I used a Kraft 12" x 12" piece of card stock as my base and did some stamping using the Draw the Line stamp set and stamped my title with the Epic Alphabet set.

Next, I added some pieces from the Let's Get Away Project Life Card Collection along with my pictures (actually the same picture with one cropped smaller)...

Then, I added a few accessories from the Let''s Get Away Project Life Accessory Kit and added some journaling.  

Supplies:

Draw the Line, Epic Alphabet

Bermuda Bay, Basic Gray ink

Let's Get Away Project Life card collection and accessory kit

Kraft, Whisper White card stock

Junior High

 

Another first day of school page - my oldest started Junior High this year!  Again, this was a premade ready to add pictures page so it was quick for me to get completed. 

 

Christmas paper doesn't need to be for Christmas projects only :)  Again, I have used some Project Life stickers for the title, quick and easy.

 

Supplies:

Draw the Line

Pear Pizzazz ink

Lost Lagoon, Pear Pizzazz, Smoky Slate card stock

All is Calm specialty paper

Silver designer buttons

Project Life stickers

Stuffed with Happiness

As the kids prepare for school to start and I try to plan ahead for a couple months of harvest, the cards I share with you generally won't be too complicated. 

 

This one uses the Mingle all the Way stamp set again, this time using the Thanksgiving sentiment. 

 

Some Color Me Autumn designer series paper a few punches and a Draw the Line image complete the basic card.

 

Supplies:

Draw the Line, Mingle all the Way

Trim the Tree

 

I always like to see some designer series paper stacks when the catalogs come out.  It is nice to have a smaller size sometimes and I appreciate the option!  

 

On the card base, I stamped an image from Draw the Line in Baked Brown Sugar ink and then added the piece of designer series paper from the Trim the Tree stack. 

 

The sentiment is from Mingle all the Way and is stamped in White craft ink.  A very simple card with a little bit of whimsy.

 

Supplies:

Mingle all the way, Draw the Line

White craft, Baked Brown sugar ink

Whisper White, Lost Lagoon card stock

Anniversary Cards

 

Today I have a couple different anniversary cards to share with you.  The first one uses some Silver Fancy Foil Vellum, a tag leftover from a Paper Pumpkin kit and an image from Draw the Line.

 

I added some small hearts to each card and both sentiments are from teeny tiny wishes.

 

Next, I used the negative of a labels collection framelit in silver glimmer as my starting point.  I added some Silver Fancy Foil vellum behind it and added it to a piece of Lost Lagoon card stock.

 

Supplies:

Teeny Tiny Wishes, Draw the line

Whisper White, Lost Lagoon, Smoky Slate, Raspberry Ripple card stock

Smoky Slate, Craft white ink

More fun with the Draw the Line stamp set on these cards - I paired the stamp set with Flashback designer series paper and the Perfect Pennants stamp set.

 



 

Those little essentials wooden elements are too much fun too, I just had to add one of those to the cards :)  Both cards are the same with the exception of the card stock matting the designer series paper.

July Stamp Club

 

I went with a birthday card theme for the Stamp Club card projects this month, using Birthday Surprise, Big News and Work of Art as the stamp sets.  On the first card, we used some Kraft card stock and the new In Color inks.

 

 

The designer series paper on the second card comes from Confetti Celebration and we added a clothespin embellishment from the 2014-2016 In color Clothespins collection.

 

For the layout, Flashback designer series paper, Draw the Line stamp set and an essentials wooden element stamped with "oh snap" from the Hip Notes set.

 

Again, it is a pretty basic layout that can be used for a number of different occasions.

 

 

 

Supplies:

Hip Notes, Draw the Line, Birthday Surprise, Work of Art, Big News

Flashback, Confetti Celebration dsp

Kraft card stock

Lots of inks and card stocks

Birthday Surprise

 

One of the first stamp sets I was draw to in the new catalog that wasn't a sentiment set was Draw the Line (page 35), I know I will be using it quite a bit both on cards and scrapbook pages.

 

I paired it with some Maritime designer series paper and the Birthday Surprise set.  My button actually started out white, but I used the darkest Coastal Cabana blendabilities marker to make it a different color!  Just be sure to let it dry thoroughly before you handle it if you try this yourself :) 

 

Supplies:

Birthday Surprise, Draw the Line

Bermuda Bay ink

Pistachio Pudding, Whisper White, Bermuda Bay and Pool Party card stock

Maritime DSP

2 1/2" circle, 1 3/4" circle, 1" circle punch

To the Moon

 

I had to capture this moment since it happens quite a bit, I think that is Maddie's favorite spot for napping!  I used the Playground Project Life card collection and accessory pack to put it all together and added a couple stamped images from Draw the Line as well.

 

I stamped on the Wooden Essentials element with Calypso Coral ink and used the Project Life Day to Day stamp set for the month and year stamp.

 

I love those little stars that come in the accessories kit!
