Amazing

I made some cards for teachers this spring using the Picture This dies and Color and Contour stamp set.  I chose to use the circles that were die cut out of the card stock rather than the piece left with the circles cut out of it (see the picture at the bottom for an idea 

using that piece).

The designer series paper patterns are from the retired Playful Palette collection which was a 6" x 6" set.  The sentiment is mounted on some coordinating Calypso Coral card stock.

Supplies:

Color and Contour

Misty Moonlight ink

Misty Moonlight, Basic White, Calypso Coral card stock

Picture This dies

Create peekaboo cards using Picture This Dies. Each die cuts multiple windows in a card front. Place it over the card front and cut out the windows, then stamp or use pattern paper on the inside of the card for a beautiful window effect.

* 2 dies
* Largest die: 4-1/2" x 3-7/16" (11.4 x 8.7 cm)
* Use with the Stampin' Cut & Emboss Machine

Dies help you create unique die-cut shapes and paper cut outs with just a quick run through your Stampin' Cut & Emboss Machine. Detailed dies include ejection holes so you can remove the paper easily.

Mini Treat Bag - Double Sized

I wanted to make the mini treat bag a little larger so I cut out two of each piece and put them together so they created a bag with a wider opening for goodies.  Then I just added some card stock to the bottom to close the bag.

I thought some images from the Playful Backgrounds stamp set would pair nicely with the pattern in the Playful Palette designer series paper I used for the bag so I added that to my sentiment layer.

A little ribbon, a binder clip and the bag is complete!

Supplies:

Better together, Playful Backgrounds

Sweet Sugarplum, Basic Black ink

Very Vanilla card stock

ruched ribbon

cotton ribbon

gold binder clip

Mini treat bag thinlit

Layering Ribbon

I was messing around with some of the new ruched ribbon on this card, just adding several strips across some Playful Palette designer series paper.  It might look better with some different colors...?

I added a little glitter with the Wink of Stella glitter brush under my sentiment and inside the heart.  There are some brush stroke images from the Painter's Palette stamp set on the card base, I used Dapper Denim ink on the same color card stock.

Supplies:

Painter's Palette, Layering Love

Dapper Denim, Flirty Flamingo ink

Room in Your Heart

This card is a fairly quick and easy one that I have put into my Stamp a Stack rotation.  I will offer the participants the option of this card or one using greens if they choose to make a baby boy card. 

The onsie is from the Something for Baby stamp set and the hearts and sentiment come from the Layering Love set in the new catalog.  I added some Playful Palette designer series paper as well.

Supplies:

Something for Baby, Layering Love

Early Espresso, Blushing Bride ink

June Stamp Club Projects

I wanted to use as many new catalog items on our stamp club projects as I could this month.  There are two different designer series papers in the projects below - Playful Palette and Affectionately Yours...a new punch called duet banners and a couple different stamp sets - Layering Love, Swirly Bird and Pun intended.

I chose some new in colors for this card - Flirty Flamingo and Sweet Sugarplum as well as some ruched ribbon.

This one uses the Swirly scribbles thinlits and some Peekaboo Peach card stock...

And finally the layout which again uses the duet banner punch, Affectionately yours specialty paper and Pun intended stamp set.

Hope you enjoyed these projects!  I always have room for more in my monthly stamp club or my Virtual (every other month) stamp clubs!  Contact me here if you would like more information about either one of them.

Layering Love

Finally, some new catalog samples for you!  This card use a few of the new In Colors - Dapper Denim, Peekaboo Peach and Flirty Flamingo.

The sentiment comes from a stamp set called Layering Love and the background is a stamp set called Perfectly Wrapped.  I added a little bit of Playful Palette designer series paper and some 3/8" ruched ribbon in Sweet Sugarplum.

Supplies:

Perfectly Wrapped, Layering Love

Dapper Denim, Peekaboo Peach, Flirty Flamingo ink

Peekaboo Peach, Dapper Denim, Flirty Flamingo, Whisper White card stock
