Cards from my friends

I LOVE it when friends text pictures of cards that they have created.  Marilyn and Lisa sat down the other day and had fun with these cards.  I love them!  I hope that you are inspired to go create and then send me pictures!

Happy stamping!

My Wonderful Family Paper Pumpkin kit

Hello!  This is the Paper Pumpkin kit for April of 2020; the name is My Wonderful Family.  I had a blast assembling the card kits for everyone in club and hope that my cards inspire my club members to "think outside of the Paper Pumpkin box"!  LOL!  For everyone in my club who sends a picture of their finished card they will get their name in the drawing to win a prize.  They will either get the new Pear Pizzazz stampin' spot/stamp set from the kit OR they will get the Ladybug hostess stamp set from the SAB catalog.  I hope that lots of cards come rolling in because I can't wait to share some inspiration with you!

Happy stamping!

Painted Poppies Birthday Card

This picture is much better so my skills are improving!  LOL!  I had fun with this card.  On Pinterest I found a card by Jennifer M. but then lost the pin somehow.  I will post the inspiration card so that she can get credit for her work.  I opted to not use alcohol markers so that I could use the coordinating regular markers.  I really try to use as much of the retiring CS as possible in May. 

Stamps:
Painted Poppies
Peaceful Moments

Colors:
Whisper White
Grapefruit Grove
Call Me Clover
Black (Momento)

Supplies:  
2" circle punch
Story Label Punch
Gel pen, white
Post it notes for layering
Markers in the above colors

1. Stamp the large flowers on post it notes.  Be sure that the flowers have as much of the sticky back as possible.
2. Stamp the largest flowers first.  Cover with the flowers on post it notes and stamp over them with the leaves and smaller flowers.  Remove the post it notes and you won't have overlapping flowers.
3. Stamp the black smudges to cover any mistakes!  LOL!
4. Color.
5. Stamp the sentiment on white CS and cut out with the story label punch. Cut out a Clover circle and layer.
6. Adhere the layers.  I used a dimensional behind the Clover circle.

Happy stamping!

Dino Days Club Card

I splurged on a light box but have been playing with it for the best results.  So far I need help!  I think that it would be good to go watch YouTube videos!  LOL!  This was a super cute idea based on a card by Stampin Pretty here.  I purposefully pulled out my retiring In Colors to make this card.

Stamps:
Dino Days (retiring)

Colors:  Pineapple Punch, Call Me Clover, Grapefruit Grove, Soft Suede (tree trunk)

Supplies:  Big Shot, Rectangle Stitched dies (for the white background), Dino dies (to cut out the dinos), Painted Labels dies (to cut out the sentiment), Call Me Clover ribbon, dimensionals

This one was easy!

1. Stamp the dinos and cut out with dies.
2. Stamp the sentiment and cut out with the die.
3. Cut out the white rectangle and stamp the palm tree.
4. Stamp the circles on the Grapefruit CS.
5. Assemble layers!

Happy stamping!

Julie was busy!

Julie is my hero and example of all things organized.  LOL!  She recently turned all of her wood mount blocks into clear mount blocks.  Her DH ordered a slew of the DVD stamp cases so that she could convert her stamps.  Julie stamped her images onto the insert after she had printed the name of the stamp set onto the insert.  The picture in the hallway shows all of the blocks ready to head out the door now that they are not needed.  Would you believe that she weighed the blocks and the weight was almost 22 pounds!  Wow!

Happy stamping!

Old Club Card

Every other month Paula and I alternate with my local club.  One month I missed and this card kit is a result.  I am not sure what her card was but this is my take on the supplies that she sent.  Very pretty!

Happy stamping!
