May Stamp Club Projects

I probably should be sharing these projects individually this month instead of all together if I want to keep my blog posts going...we are busy planting wheat and soybeans right now as we also ship seed potatoes and haul in the seed potatoes that we will start planting on Monday.  Crazy time of year for us and then we add in the boys playing spring baseball....! So if the blog goes silent for a few days or a day here and there, you will know why.

This month, I chose to use some sneak peek items and some that are retiring.  For the first card, I chose a Hostess stamp set that is in the Occasions catalog called Yay you and paired it with returning color Mint Macaron and new In Color Grapefruit Grove.

The second card pairs the Share What You Love designer series paper with some Wood Textures designer series paper and the Love What You Do stamp set.

Finally, the layout uses some Pick a Pattern designer series paper and one of my favorite embellishments, glitter enamel dots.  We will have more fun embellishments coming out soon and I can't wait to play with all of them!  

Some of the retiring products have been discounted - YEAH.  You can still get items while they last...

Today's card uses one of the 2nd release Sale-a-bration stamp sets that just came out a few days ago called Eclectic Expressions.  It is paired with the Pieces and Patterns stamp set and some Pick a Pattern designer series paper.

My ink colors coordinate with the designer series paper colors and I have popped up my sentiment layers to add a little dimension to the card.

Flowers and Patterns

As promised, I have another card using the Pieces and Patterns stamp set, Pick a Pattern designer series paper and Stampin' Blends. This time I chose more feminine colors and stamps and added some background stamping as well.

The middle flower was stamped on scrap paper, colored, cut out with the paper snips and popped up over the designer series paper.

Pick a Pattern Birthday

 I always send birthday cards to our families and now that also includes great nieces and nephews so I need to remember to have some kids cards on hand.  The Pick a Pattern designer series paper is a fun one to use for kids occasions and I paired it with the Pieces and Patterns stamp set.  Tomorrow I will share another card using the same paper and stamp set.

I stamped the dinosaur with Memento black ink and colored it in with my Stampin' Blends before punching it out with the 2" circle punch and popping it up over the layers of designer series paper.
