Club Projects with In Color 2020-2022

 

Hello!  I have been juggling home school and home school graduation so things are busy.   This month I made up card packets with the new In Colors and every club member will get FOUR cards in their bag!  I hope to have the sample cards soon so that everyone can see what the new colors look like.  If you would like a catalog or a sample card please send a message.

The cards shown are in the new colors Cinnamon Cider and Bumble Bee.  You have to love these names!  We can now order the In Color ink pads but only one refill (the last time I checked).  Things are still moving slowly as factories and businesses continue to practice social distancing.  

If you are a club member and choose to improvise, please send pics of cards that you make with my kits. You could win a new In Color ink pad!  I would love to see your cards!  Have a card that you are proud of?  Send a picture and enter the contest that way!

Happy stamping!

Thank You Card

Hello!  I am back!  I will be posting quite a bit this week.  Keep checking back!  I just finished my TEFL training (Teaching English as a Foreign Language) and I am starting to feel like stamping.  It has been a long road to get over the mono but it is coming.  Hooray!

Happy stamping!

You've Got This card for Club

I totally spaced and forgot to post this card last week.  Enjoy!  It is super easy!

Happy stamping!
Stef

Stamps:  You've Got This (retiring)
Colors:  Basic Black, Tempting Turquoise (retiring), and Whisper White
Supplies:  Stitched Shapes, Big Shot, rhinestones

Flirty Flamingo Thank You card

Stamps:  Pop of Paradise and Timeless Texture
Colors:  Flirty Flamingo, Real Red, Wild Wasabi, Soft Sky, and Whisper White
Supplies:  Big Shot, Stitched Shapes framelits, Rhinestones, Scissors, Stamparatus, Whisper White ink pad

I tweaked this card a tiny bit and made it my own.  You can probably tell that I experimented with the shadowing on the leaves; I really like doing shadowing with the Wasabi marker and not the Garden Green I had originally planned to use.  The Garden Green was just too dark.

Happy stamping!

Amazing Friend Card

My friend Paula  made this super cute card for club this month!  It was so much fun to sit and to stamp a project that was not my creation; it nudges me towards stamps/goodies that I would not normally purchase but then love.

Happy stamping!

Brusho Celebrate Card for Club

Hello!  I had fun playing with the Brusho for this card.  I also pulled out my Celebrate You thinlit dies and loved them!

The Brusho was super easy to use.  I did NOT open the bottle but instead poked a hole in the lid with a push pin and saved the pin to act as a "stopper".  I sprinkled the red Brusho on my watercolor paper and then spritzed it with water.  After I let the red bleed into the water I added a few sprinkles of the Prussian blue.  Very cool!!!

Note to self...either punch the circle before you spritz or after the watercolor paper is completely dry.  One edge was not neatly punched out and I had to trim it a bit after it dried. 

Happy stamping!

Merry and Bright Stamp Camp Card #4

My daughter was fascinated with my snow globe shaker card.  I do plan to purchase the foam adhesive strips because I had to make due with the edges of a sheet of dimensionals and I was not satisfied with the height.  This card background involved sponging and use of the whisper white craft pad with daubers.  Fun!

Happy stamping!
Stef

Retro Week Fun Filled Stamp set

Hello Ladies!  Once again my friend Margaret loaned a stamp set to me for my retro challenge.  This is an old Sale-a-bration stamp set and I think that I might have a few if anyone falls in love with the set.  LOL!  I also pulled out a retired embossing folder Decorative Dots.

Happy stamping!

Daydream Medallions Fancy Fold card

Hello and happy Wednesday!  It is my favorite day because all of the ads come out today and I can check out the sales (pair with coupons, of course)!  My daughter is just sure that I should have added pearls instead of rhinestones but I think that she just wanted to play with them.  LOL!  I  noticed that her stuffed puppy ended up with rhinestones on her ears as faux earrings.

I CASED this card from this website.  She did a smashing job!  I opted to change a few colors and supplies.

Use 12x12 Basic Black cardstock for the base and cut it at 5 1/2" by 11 1/8".
Score it at 3", 4 3/4", 6 1/2", and 8 1/4".

3x3 Thank you cards for this month

Good morning!  The black and white 3x3 card came in a swap; I wanted to use up some of my retiring colors so I changed things around a bit.  Instead of using Basic Black I used Concord Crush (had to use my Concord Crush ribbon) and I swapped the rhinestone for the larger pearl.  I prefer to have a white card base because it is easier to write on white.

The Triple Treat flower retires soon...

These little cuties will be in everyone's bag when they purchase $50 this month.

Thank you and happy stamping!!!

Here Come the Bride and Groom...

Our pastor's son and his new bride are having a reception today at our church; they were married down in California.  She is such a nice young lady; I don't think that any of us could be more pleased.  Their wedding colors were green and yellow.

And a shot of the inside...

This is a 4-1/4" square card.  The colors are Basic Black, Whisper White, So Saffron, and Old Olive.  It uses the Little Leaves and Floral Fusion sizzlets.  The sentiment comes from the stamp set Word Play.  The DSP is discontinued but you could probably substitute one of the paper stack patterns or use the Distressed Dots background stamp to make your own and achieve much the same effect.

If you have any questions we would be happy to help,

Julie
