August card remake


I had extra card packets left from club and was tired of making the top card so the bottom card is my "redo".

Happy stamping!

Hello to you all!  This card was a new fold to me and I found my inspiration here.

Happy stamping!
Stef



Painted Harvest Cutaway Card
Stamps:  Painted Harvest and Dragonfly Dreams

Colors:  Crushed Curry, Emerald Envy, Sahara Sand, and Whisper White

Supplies:  Circle punch (1 ¾” or 2”), Pick a Pattern DSP, ribbon (Emerald or white or Curry), Trimmer, Adhesive, Dimensionals, sponges
·        
            Fold the 4 1/4x11” Sand CS in half with fold on left.  Trim off about 1 ¼” off of the top.
·         Adhere the DSP strip to the 5 ¼ x 3” DSP and then attach the ribbon.  Mount to card front.
·         Use the circle punch to cut out a partial circle on the card front.
·         Use the Curry ink to stamp a flower on the white scrap.
·         Use the Sand ink to stamp the speckles on the top of the inside of the card and also the flower center.
·         Use the Emerald ink to stamp the sentiment first and then the leaves (remember you will have a large flower covering them).
·         Cut out the flower but don’t worry about perfection.  Sponge in Curry over the edges.
·         Sponge the edges of the card in Sand.
·         Adhere the flower with dimensionals.

Painted Harvest Club Card #1


I am still tweaking this card but here is the card for club this month.  Enjoy!  I may come back later and retake the pic because I am not happy with everything,  More layers?
Update:  I did add another layer to the front and then trimmed the sentiment a bit.  Much happier!

Happy stamping!

Retro Week - Exotic Blooms Card Three

This is the last card in my retro week.  I am working on Christmas cards next so check back next week!

I have been trying to get my posts to post automatically and having issues so I apologize that this one did not post yesterday.  Later today I will post my weekend video.  School is still in the transition phase and, at one point yesterday, my daughter had to watch her accredited class videos on my laptop.  I will be so very excited when we get everything ironed out.  Thankfully I don't have to get up early to stamp now.  Hooray!  Stamping at 6 am in the morning was not as fun as it is normally.  LOL!

Happy stamping!
