December Stamp Club Projects

 

This month's stamp club projects were a mix of things - a masculine birthday card, a Christmas card and a layout that is kind of spring like...

 

For the Christmas card, I chose the Home for the Holidays designer series paper and Peaceful Pines stamp set...

 

and the masculine card uses an image from Traveler and sentiment from Tin of Cards over some Typeset specialty paper...

 

On the layout, I chose to use the Summer Silhouettes stamp set and English Garden designer series paper along with some of the Envelope paper...

Reason For the Season

 

This card is a little similar to the one we made at Stamp Club this month with the Reason for the Season stamp set, but I did mix it up just a little bit. I really like the triple stamped poinsettia so I used it again as a background and added a strip of Home for Christmas designer series paper behind the sentiment.

 

Despite the images that need to be stamped more than once to add the colors, these come together pretty quickly and would work well for mass producing. 

 

Supplies:

Reason for the Season

Early Espresso, Real Red, Mossy Meadow ink

Home for Christmas dsp

Very Vanilla card stock

Joy Burlap Canvas

 

Although it is a little early to be thinking about Christmas, I like to make a few projects early that I can either give as gifts or use as ideas for classes.  This summer I had run across some burlap wrapped canvases in craft stores (and I found some fun denim ones as well) that I decided I wanted to play with. 

 



 

As I looked through the Holiday catalog I decided I wanted to use some of the Home for Christmas designer series paper on one of the canvases, specifically the Silent Night musical design.  From there I added elements from the Hello December 2015 Project Life card collection and accessory kit and several other elements.

 

I wrapped some 1" Tip Top Taupe dotted lace trim, silver baker's twine and Cherry Cobbler baker's twine around some card stock that was covered with adhesive to create some flowers and swirls.  Then I added elements to decorate them like basic rhinestones, metal rimmed pearls and Winter wonderland snowflake embellishments.

 

I threw in some corrugated paper, distressed my paper with ink pads directly on the designer paper and Project Life card and also added ink to the Lucky Stars embossing folder and used it as a stamp on my paper.

 

Rolled a couple corners...

 

added some buttons...

 

And came up with this....
