May Stamp Club

 

This month my lovely Stamp Club ladies will get these projects with their orders along with some other goodies because we won't be meeting.  Usually I am busy cutting potato seed this time of year, but we are not quite to that point with the late spring, instead we are busy shipping out potato seed instead.

 

 

I used the Bring on the Cake and Designer Typeset stamp set for the birthday card and added some Patio Party dsp and Summer Starfruit stitched satin ribbon.

 

On this card, I left a sentiment off so that they can use it for whatever they wish.  The shell has the faux mother of pearl technique on it although it is difficult to see on the picture.  I love using the By the Tide stamp set for masculine cards so I would probably use it for a masculine birthday.

 

The layout is a pretty simple one again using the Fan Fair designer series paper, Pink Pirouette, Island Indigo, Very Vanilla and Early Espresso.

Bombs Away!

 Today's card is another one using the Photopolymer stamps, this time the set is called Bombs away birthday.

 

 

It has some fun sayings that may not be for everyone, but I know I can think of a few people who would love each one.

 

I paired it with some Twitterpatted and Patio Party designer papers and some Summer Starfruit and Primrose Petals card stock.

 

I used the 1 3/4" scallop punch behind the Happy Birthday bomb.

Summer Starfruit, Raspberry Ripple and Old Olive

 

Summer Starfruit      Raspberry Ripple       Old Olive

 

That is our color combination for the Late Night Stampers challenge this week and I have to say Summer Starfruit is still a color that has not grown on me, but I still try to use it once in awhile. 

 

 

The first card uses Delicate Doilies and From My Heart and I added some Patio Party dsp to the background.  There is a basic rhinestone in the middle of the doily as well.

 

On this card, I used the Rain or shine stamp set and also added a strip of Patio Party dsp.  The ribbon is Old Olive scallop dots ribbon that is tied into a bow using white baker's twine.

 

Come on over and join us!

 

TSSC256

 

I am sneaking in at the last minute with Mary Jo's sketch challenge this week!   

 

 

I layered the Quint-Essential flower stamp image using the 2 3/8" scallop circle, 1 3/4" scallop circle and 1" circle punches along with some dimensionals to do that.

 

I added a sentiment from the Itty Bitty Banners stamp set and some dsp from the Patio Party collection. 

 

Colors:

Card stock - Crumb Cake, Island Indigo and Whisper White

Ink - Island Indigo, Raspberry Ripple and Crumb Cake

Chevron folder

 

Jar of Buttons

This is one of the door prizes I put together for our Stamp Camp last week.  I had a little jar that I put a variety of retired buttons in and decorated it with the Patio Party designer series paper.

 

 

I added a little dahlia to the top and a bow made with the Summer Starfruit 3/8" stitched satin ribbon to the front.

 

We had some great news yesterday from Stampin' Up!  They are extending the Spooktacular Halloween sign up promotion until September 16th!  Don't you want one of these fun sets to put together?  I know I do :)

Happiness

I was going through my stamps and discovered I did have an animal stamp in my stash (for the Late Night Stampers challenge) so I made this card.  We decided to sent it to my oldest son who is at Park River Bible Camp for the week, I can tell the puppy is missing him (as are the rest of us!).
