Pressed Flowers

When I created this card I guess I pulled out quite a few retired items but it could easily be recreated with current catalog items as well.  The designer series papers I chose were from the Happiness Blooms and Wood Textures collections and my stamp sets were Pressed Flowers (hostess) and Detailed with Love.

I added some linen thread and Happiness blooms enamel dots for accents and the die cut for the sentiment is from the Spot of Tea framelits collection.

Deatiled with Love

Blueberry Bushel, Crumb Cake ink

The crops are all in and the seed potatoes are all shipped out to customers so I am hoping to be able to start posting regularly again!  Of course we will have baseball games for the boys almost every night now for the next couple months as well...

The stamp set I used for this card was in the previous Idea Book and Catalog, but it is carried over into the one that just came out as well.  It is called Let It Ride and I love the sentiments in it!  

The little wooden element is one that was part of a free gift with a Paper Pumpkin kit a little over a year ago and I thought it worked well as an accent.

Supplies:

Let It Ride

Early Espresso, Blueberry Bushel, Call Me Clover ink

November Stamp Club

This month I am a little quicker to share the monthly stamp club projects with you!  I decided to use some Toil and Trouble designer series paper for our layout but did not want to make it Halloween themed so I used the back side designs that are colorful and patterned.

Our first card uses the Country Home stamp set and coordinating Country Lane designer series paper along with the sprig punch.

Our second card uses the Happiness Surrounds stamp set and some Wood textures designer series paper.  The card was inspired by this one created by Jennifer Frost who is part of Stampin' Up!'s Artisan design team.

Remember we always have room for new members in our stamp clubs!  Contact me for details.

Layered Leaves

Awhile ago, I had die cut a bunch of leaves from the Seasonal layers thinlits collection and hadn't used all of them on the project I was working with.  A few days ago I pulled them out and decided to put the rest to use...

There are two versions of the same card concept - one uses Crumb Cake as a base and a layer of Mossy Meadow that is embossed with the Brick wall folder, the other uses a Whisper White card base and piece of Wood Textures designer series paper.  

I added some 3/16" braided linen trim behind the Stitched Shapes framelits oval with my sentiment and also added a few Frosted and clear and epoxy droplets for accents.

Pocket Full of Flowers

This card started out with just the stamped and die cut pocket cut out of some Delightful Daisy designer series paper.  After that, I decided I wanted to pair it with some Wood textures designer series paper and thought the little flowers coming out of the pocket would make it fun.

The flowers are stamped with Basic Black ink and then I added the color with Daffodil Delight, Peekaboo Peach and Flirty Flamingo ink.

Supplies:

Pocket full of sunshine, Special occasions

Night of Navy, Basic Black, Flirty Flamingo, Peekaboo Peach, Daffodil Delight ink

June Stamp Club Projects

This month, I used quite a bit of the new In Color called Berry Burst in the projects.  For the layout, I chose to pair Berry Burst with Powder Pink and the Color Theory designer series paper and Color Theory Memories and More pack.

The first card uses the Daisy Delight stamp set, Daisy Punch and Oh My Stars embossing folder along with an accent of 1/4" double stitched ribbon in Daffodil Delight.

Our second card uses the Wood textures designer series paper and Colorful Season stamp set.  The sentiment is stamped on a piece die cut with the Stitched Shapes framelits.

Each club member's layout looks slightly different since we used the Color Theory Memories and More cards and there aren't duplicates for that layouts but they look similar. 

I always have room for more in both my Virtual Stamp Club (every other month) and my Monthly Stamp Club - contact me for more information if you are interested!
