January Stamp Club - 2nd Set

As always, we make many cards at Club.  MANY.  I always find a technique or have requests of techniques and sometimes there are just things that must be shared.  

This technique is easy.  Yes, really.

Cut two coordinating pieces of Designer Series Paper to 4" x 5 1/4".   Cut both, paying attention to the pattern from the top left corner to the bottom right on the diagonal.  You'll want to use a trimmer with a metal wire to get your corners cut on a miter.  

Adhere the first piece leaving an equal border along the two sides.  Adhere the second piece right to the edge of the first.  The borders should be of equal width (or pretty close) on the opposite sides.

Add a greeting and a bit of ribbon, and you've got a very pretty card!

This greeting was stamped in Poppy Parade to coordinate with the background paper.

Here you can see the two cards from the two sheets of paper.

The greeting here was stamped in Soft Succulent to coordinate with the greens on the card. 

Since the direction on the yellow piece was specifically directional, I had to cut two piece of the yellow.  That design just looks strange to me when it's upside down.

Pretty Perennials

 This stamp set has so many possibilities!  Over time, you're going to see a lot of cards/projects made with it.  Today I just wanted to do some basic #simplestamping with it.

Stamps, ink, paper, a bit of ribbon, and enamel dots.

There are quite a few colors... and this shows off the Magenta Madness much better than the pictures I took of the zebra card from a few days ago!

I talk often about decorating envelopes.  Yes, I do stamp the back quite often, but I mean the front of the envelope!  I echoed the colors from the card so the stamping was easy while I made the card. 

You'll see this set again.  It has so many possibilities!

First Club Date for 2019!

First, I'd like to thank all the ladies for returning to club this year!  I really enjoy our time together!

These are the 4 cards we made for January's club.

 Do you recognize the #loveitchopit paper?  I already had it all pre-cut so my prep for class went quickly, and the girls loved the idea!  The Happy Birthday is cut twice with the white placed behind and offset for a shadow.

 The background of this card seems plain - it's that way on purpose.  I wanted the focus to be on the Happy Valentine's Day.  It's obscured by the intricate die-cut but everyone already knows what it says!  Notice the larger heart has a stitched detail as well.  So pretty!

 This is a close-up of the heart array.  When you cut these hearts out of glimmer or foil paper - keep them!  They'll be great for shaker cards or additions to other cards.

 I find sympathy cards the hardest to make.  You so much want to send a card for someone who's lost a loved one and then worry if it's enough... too much.  I usually end up not sending anything.  I'm fixing that this year.  This is a simple design that showcases a lot of technique.
On this card we used the Well Said Bundle.  It includes the sentiment and the sympathy die cut.  YES, it's expensive.  It's EXPENSIVE... enough to take your breath away, but I will say it's worth it.  With this set, the die cuts alone will give options... and I love options!  We also used a sentiment for the inside of the card from the stamp set.

I wanted the girls to try out the #simplestamping for January.  The theme is Valentines!  The little 2019 Sale-A-Bration cupcake is perfect!
