Painted Harvest Club Redo Project

I had the supplies left to make more club projects (always prep for extras) but found myself bored of the old design.  Here is what I decided to make with the elements from last month's card projects.

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!

Hearts Come Home Stamp Camp Card #3

Here is my third card and it is a simple one just featuring the stamp set.  I didn't want all of the cards to be labor intensive and I definitely wanted one card to feature the matching stamps.  LOL!  I love the Softly Falling embossing folder but would have shifted the folder down a bit so that the snow was not falling so thick at the top of the card.  Next time...

Happy stamping!

Stamp Camp Card #2 Hearts Come Home

I got up early to create this card before popping off to town for PT.  It is simple but fun.  I hope that it inspires you to create and also attend my stamp camp!  Be sure to check out my Pinterest board and you will see where I found my inspiration for this card.

Happy stamping!

Stamp Camp Project #1

I discovered that it is so much easier to adhere the gold paper to the backs of the windows BEFORE adhering the village to the card front!  LOL!

Stamp camp will be Saturday, November 11 and will cost $55.  Registration is due by October 31 and will include lunch, the Hearts Come Home bundle, instructions, and supplies for four cards.  Love this set!  Click here to see the bundle.

Update:  I plan to redo this card and have longer white pieces below my village scenes.  Overnight the card warped from the drying embossing paste.  I just think that it would look nicer with "deeper" village scenes in white.  I used shimmery white CS but will probably switch to Whisper White.

Happy stamping!

This is the last card in the retro week series for this week.  I hope that you enjoyed checking out this blast from the past!

Retro Week Fun Filled Card #2

This card is a super easy layout and has just a bit of bling.  I love the new In Colors with this retired Sale-a-bration stamp set.  I had several card packets from another project and I wanted to use up some of the pre-cut supplies so I challenged myself to use up as many of elements prepped as possible.

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!

High Tide Club Project #2

This is the second project that we worked on at club (first Tuesday of the month in Ashland, MO) and it was a fun new technique to learn.  I really fell in love with the High Tide stamp set but don't currently have it.  I guess I will end up with it soon!

Here is a tutuorial in the retiform (grid) technique.

Happy stamping!

High Tide Card from Club

I share a club with my downline Paula and this was her fantastic club project last night.  I LOVE it!  It was so much fun to sit and stamp without coming up with the projects. 

Happy stamping!
