Father's Day Club Projects

Father's Day is just around the corner; and this month, my club members are making a card and 6x6 scrapbook page for the occasion. 

I saw a card that Becky Roberts made, over at Inking Idaho, and just loved her creative use of our Totally Tool stamp set!  I decided this would be one of our club projects; then, changed it a little, to put my own spin on it and so that we could use our new Square Lattice Embossing Folder.

I wanted a 6x6 scrapbook page to match the card, and this is what I came up with:

It's simple and masculine, and ready for one or more small photos of Dad!

Happy (early) Father's Day to all the dads out there!

Happy Stampin'!

Look At What Club Members Are Making This Month!

My Club Members will be the first to play with new items from the Summer Mini Catalog!  These items will be available for purchase on May 1st.

Here is a close-up of our card.  The bee is from the Bloomin' Beautiful stamp set.  I stamped him twice, colored him with Blender Pens, Basic Black (lightly) and Summer Sun Classic Ink.  I cut out the bee and mounted him on the card with half a Stampin' Dimensional.  Then, I cut one wing from the other stamped bee, and mounted it on the first bee with the other piece of the Dimensional.  He's a blingy bee!  LOL!  I used just the tiniest bit of Tombow Multi Glue to add some Dazzling Diamonds to his wings and antennae.

Here is the full card.  I stamped the toile flowers from Elements of Style (new in the mini) on our Watercolor Paper with StazOn Ink, then colored them using Blender Pens with Almost Amethyst, Sage Shadow, and Bordering Blue Classic Inks.  I also added Dazzling Diamonds Glitter to the flower centers, just like the bee.  Other accessories on this card include Chocolate Chip, Bordering Blue and Almost Amethyst Card Stock; Moss Taffeta Ribbon; our Scallop Edge Punch; and our Large and Scallop Oval Punches.  The "bloom" stamp is also in Bloomin' Beautiful.

Stamp Club Valentines

Look at this fun little treat holder Club Members made this month!  It is a tiny version of a holder that was popular last year at this time.  The original of this smaller version was created by Monika Davis.  She used our Scallop Square Sizzix Die to create the square that gets folded for this little project.  It is so quick and easy!  I'm even going to make them for two of the kids' classes.  Of course, I've been told we need to make some in "boy" colors, so the boys won't get anything pink.  ;) 

Here is a view from another side.  I decorated each side with different heart shapes in different coordinating card stock and designer papers. 

Here's a top view.  Each side is only 1 3/8" square.  I plan to put tiny erasers in them for the kids and wrap them in a cello bag.  But, you use a few tootsie rolls or any small candy.  They would also be really cute as wedding favors with little chocolates or nuts inside a mesh bag. 

Need the Scallop Square Die?  You can get it right HERE!

 

We also made the Valentine card below.  I CASE'd it from a similar card made by Linda Rodenberg.  It's so simple, but fun to make.

A New Look and Club Mini Cards

How do you like my new blog banner and colors?  I made the banner in My Digital Studio!  It was really fun and easy, like a mini scrapbook page.

I'll work on a tutorial for some of the things I did, like using layers to create new colors of paper.

This month at club, I threw everyone a little curve ball.  ;)  They each got three 3x3 cards with envelopes and created their own designs.

Everyone had fun playing with colors and images, and just enjoying some creative time.

Take some time this season to just "play" and enjoy everything the holidays have to offer!

May Club Projects: Cute & Cuddly Baby Card & Mini Box with Sizzix

I am having so much fun with our Cute & Cuddly stamp set, especially this adorable little teddy bear.  He is so much fun to color.

And now, my club members will get to play with him too!  Our May projects will be this fun card and the little box below. 

I wanted to do something a little different with this card, so I made it a horizontal tri-fold card.  When folded, it is 4 1/4" high and 5 1/2" long.  I stamped the bear on watercolor paper and colored him with Creamy Caramel and Blush Blossom Stampin' Write Markers. 

The pattern paper I used is our Baja Breeze Specialty Designer 12x12 paper.

Did you know that right now, you can get a FREE package of Designer Paper when you buy three?!  Just jump over to my SU! Store Page HERE and start shopping!

While I was playing with Cute & Cuddly and my Big Shot, I made this teeny tiny box that would be perfect filled with treats for BABY SHOWER FAVORS!  I just ran the Baja Breeze paper through the Big Shot with our exclusive Matchbox Die, added the 5/8" Jumbo Brad to the drawer, and decorated the top with another little bear and some Chocolate Chip 1/4" grosgrain ribbon. 

Call or E-mail me today for more information about my clubs and to order the products you see here!

March Club Projects

My Club Members get to make these great little birthday treats this month!

   

I have officially fallen in love with our Raspberry Tart DSP.  I honestly did not like this paper when it first arrived.  But, now that I've been playing with it, I'm using it a lot and just ordered another package!

The image and sentiment are from Crazy for Cupcakes.  The colors are Rose Red (although my lighting is a little off here), Regal Rose, Kiwi Kiss and Whisper White. 

The cupcakes are "frosted" with Crystal Effects and Dazzling Diamonds.

 

I love this little gift bag.  It was so quick and easy, and looks great with our card.  The accordion flower can be found in the Sale-A-Bration catalog, where they used Delicate Dots DSP (a Sale-A-Bration item you can earn with a $50 order).

The "true friend" sentiment is from the Simple Friendship stamp set, and the flourish is from Doodle This.

The flower is really easy to make.  I would love to show you how to do it. 

Schedule a workshop today and this can be one of your projects!

February Club Card

I wanted to share this month's Club Card with you.  I recently altered the way we meet each month, to make it more flexible for club members and help everyone use their supplies more often.  I'm also going to start a club challenge next month.

If you are interested in joining my Stampin' Clubs, please contact me today to get started! 

This month's Hostess Choice hostess requested that we make a card using Chocolate Chip and Bashful Blue along with the Sizzix Big Shot, particularly our new Texturz Embossing Plates.  Dry Embossing has never been easier!

Here is the card:

 

All club members will receive the supply list, so if they own any of the supplies/stamps, they can bring them and use what they purchase. 

In addition to the Club Challenge that I will add in March, I also plan to host a Secret Sister Swap in the near future.  If you would like to sign up for the swap or a club, or just need more information, please contact me today.

Happy Stampin'!
