Blank Vintage

Recently I put together some blank cards for a customer using pinks and grays.  For this one, I chose to use some Frosted Floral specialty designer series paper and Tropical Escape designer series paper in the background. 

I stamped the flower image from the Very Vintage hostess stamp set on the card base with Powder Pink ink and also stamped the same image on Whisper White and punched it out.  The partial doily image from the same stamp set was added with Gray Granite ink to the punched out circle as well.

To accent the layers, I used some sprigs punched out from Old Olive card stock, basic rhinestones and a punched out Starburst circle.

Supplies:

Very Vintage (hostess)

Powder Pink, Gray Granite ink

Gray Granite, Whisper White, Powder Pink card stock

In color doilies

Sprig Punch

Frosted floral specialty paper

Tropical escape dsp

Basic rhinestones

2" circle punch

Starburst circle punch

December Stamp Club Projects

Time is still flying by and I have another set of stamp club projects to share with you!  

The layout this month uses the Festive Farmhouse designer series paper and sprig punch.  It leaves lots of room to customize for your occasion!

Instead of two cards this time, I opted to make a gift card holder as one of our projects using a little striped treat bag.  It is folded in two places and there is a piece of Whisper White card stock inside to write on as well.  The belly band around it is made with Joyous Noel specialty paper and I used the Snow is Glistening stamp set for the label.

On the last project, I again used the Snow is Glistening stamp set and paired it with the Tufted dynamic impressions folder and Stitched shapes framelits.  I just love the double sided ribbon as well - unfortunately is it no longer available like the Joyous Noel specialty paper...

The gold foil edged cards and envelopes were a perfect match to use with the gold foil embossed background!

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.

Fill the Season

This is another look at the Peaceful Noel stamp set, this time it is paired with the Joyous Noel glimmer paper and a piece of Dashing Along designer series paper.

When I punched out the sprigs I punched them from the middle of the piece of glimmer paper that is in the background behind the designer series paper since I knew that spot would not show.  That way you can utilize more of the glimmer paper!  

The trim behind the sentiment is called 3/16" braided linen trim and you can kind of pull it apart to give it a different look as I did in on the edges here.

Peaceful Noel

Balmy Blue, Night of Navy, Mossy Meadow ink
