April Stamp Club Projects

Here are the April Stamp Club projects for my monthly club...we were unable to meet due to physical distancing guidelines so I put together all the projects for them.

Our first card focuses on the Parisian Blossoms specialty paper and uses the So Sentimental Stamp set...

The second card uses the Pretty Petals designer series paper and the Stitched So Sweetly Dies along with the Beautiful Friendship stamp set...

And finally, our layout focuses on the Woven Threads designer series paper and uses some Stitched Shapes framelits die cuts for accents.

We welcome new members anytime!  Contact me for more details.

Brave, Strong, Loved

The sentiment I used on this card is one of my favorite ones and is from the Rustic Retreat stamp set.  For this card, I paired it with some designer series paper from the Woven threads collection and added a piece of Crumb Cake card stock embossed with the Eyelet lace folder behind that.

There is part of a pearlized doily behind the die cut sentiment layers - I have found I like to cut these doilies in half for a lot of projects...

Comforting Hugs

I always like to find different ways to use the holiday specialty paper in projects that are not holiday themed.  For this sympathy card, I chose to use a piece of Brightly Gleaming specialty paper in the background along with a piece of Woven threads designer series paper.

Bi Fold Thank You

I was messing around with a bi-fold card one day and this is what came from it...I used a card base of Purple Posy and scored it at 4 1/4" and 2 1/8".  Then I added a piece of Woven Threads designer series paper to the inside and stamped an image from the Tasteful Threads stamp set using my Purple Posy marker on it.

Than I used a couple other pieces of the same designer series paper matted on some Pretty Peacock card stock for the other panels.  My sentiment layer is die cut with the Stitched Nested Labels collection and I stamped a sentiment from Here's a Card and the same image from Tasteful Textures that is on the inside of the card.

Musical Sympathy

This card is another mix of current and retired items, the stamp set that the sentiment comes from has been retired for quite awhile but I use it quite often for this sentiment as well as some of the others in the set.

The sheet music background stamp is also retired, but one of my favorite background stamps!  The designer series paper in the background is from Woven Threads which is current as is the stamp set used over the sheet music image called Forever Lovely.  I also added some Rococo Rose 1/2" gathered ribbon and the sentiment is stamped on a die cut using the Stitched Nested framelits.
