December Stamp Club projects

Although I hadn't planned it this way, my project colors coordinate this month centering on Cherry Cobbler, Crumb Cake and Dapper Denim with a couple added variations.

My layout is fairly plain as I try to always keep them pretty generic so they can be used for whatever occasion my club goers prefer.  I did use the Stitched Shapes framelits on them as accents.

The first card is a masculine birthday card using the Gorgeous Grunge and Guy Greetings stamp sets.  The designer series paper in the background is from the This Christmas specialty designer series paper pack.

The second card uses the same designer series paper along with the Wonder of Christmas stamp set.

If you enjoy seeing the stamp club projects and would like to try out either my monthly stamp club or my virtual club, please contact me here for more details!

Thank You

Today's card is another I used for a card exchange and also uses the Stitched shapes framelits, although instead of the circles I have used the squares on this one.

The background is a piece of Fancy Frost specialty paper and I chose the Thoughtful Branches stamp set for my images and sentiment.  There are a few enamel shapes added for some more texture and color.

Supplies:

Thoughtful Branches

Early Espresso, Old Olive ink

Crumb Cake, Old Olive, Whisper White card stock

Stitched shapes framelits

Fancy frost specialty designer series paper

enamel shapes

The Season

I used this card for a card exchange recently showcasing the Stitched shapes framelits and the Reason for the Season stamp set.  

I chose to add some pine boughs behind the designer series paper and sentiment instead of using the poinsettia image that is also in the stamp set and added a few little red "berries" randomly as well.  I believe the stamp I used the for "berries" is actually for the middle of the poinsettia flower.

Lastly, I added a Christmas trinket embellishment and some Real Red baker's twine.

Supplies:

Soft Suede, Garden Green, Real Red ink

Christmas Stars

Star of Light is one of my favorites from the Holiday catalog this year.  I have tried it in a few different color schemes - this one uses Cherry Cobbler and Crumb Cake. 

There is a strip of This Christmas specialty designer series paper behind the popped up star layer and I added a metallic enamel shape to the center of the star.

Great Adventures

I had some time to work on my scrapbook pages a few weeks ago at a retreat and somehow already found time to get this year's class pictures into the scrapbook!  For my daughter's 5th grade class I chose to use pieces from the Good Vibes Project Life card collection along with some Basic Gray, Peekaboo Peach and Mint Macaron card stock.

The title was a 4" x 6" card that I just cut to remove the outer edges.

Supplies:

Project Life Good Vibes collection

Project Life journaling pen

Mint Macaron, Peekaboo Peach, Basic Gray card stock

Mini Treat Gift Card Holders

I have been playing around with my Mini Treat Bag thinlit lately and put together a bunch of little gift card holder treat bags. Below are some of the Christmas themed ones, but I also made a few birthday. 

I started with some This Christmas Specialty Designer Series paper and cut out my pieces with the Big Shot and the Mini Treat Bag thinlit die. 

Then I took some scraps of the same specialty paper, Basic Gray and Very Vanilla card stock and

added my sentiment and some layers on the front of the bag.  Inside I added a piece of Very Vanilla card stock that a gift card holder and note could be added to.

Supplies:

Wonder of Christmas

Garden Green, Smoky Slate ink

Basic Gray, Very Vanilla card stock

Friendship

It looks like I was just in a Serene Scenery designer series paper mode on this week's projects!  I have again used it as a background on my cards featured the Sheltering Tree stamp set.  I promise to move on to something else soon!!!

There are two versions of the same card, the only difference is the background paper.  I chose to use Crushed Curry, Cherry Cobbler and Cajun Craze for my leaves and Soft Suede for my tree. 

There is nothing fancy about the card but I have had lots of people say they like it a lot, the stamp set is a favorite of many of my friends and customers...

Supplies:
