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!

Butterflies in Blue

I first saw these cards as a set on Pinterest, so here I am CASEing cards again....  I knew the shirt technique, and had all the supplies.

 Everything here is Night of Navy and White. 
 The butterflies are stamped on Whisper White in Night of Navy.  Stamp the first image, the center piece with the spots full strength.  Stamp the outside edges of the butterfly stamping off 1x.  (This technique gives a lighter image. Stamp the solid butterfly image stamping off 2x. 
 Yes, the lining up of the images takes a little practice, but only a LITTLE.  After some practice, you'll get them straight in no-time!  The above image you'll notice is a little 'off'... but I decided to use it anyway.  In nature, not all things are perfect!
The butterflies are mounted with cut pieces of dimensionals, and the rhinestones are added last.

Contact me for more information if you'd like to make some cards like this.  If you're in my club, we'll be making these very soon!

Butterfly Birthday - Quick, Easy, and Stylish!

 I think this has to be the fastest card I've EVER put together!

I initially made 5 of them - when you begin stamping with Gorgeous Grunge, it's easy to just keep going for awhile!  Stamp the larger spots in Pool Party, then add a few splats of Melon Mambo.  Use Elegant Eggplant to stamp the Happy Birthday, and you're done stamping!

Die cut the butterfly using Elegant Eggplant card stock, and attach with a  few small pieces of dimensionals, but first, cut a length of Melon Mambo twine - about 6 inches.... and lock it to the paper with the dimensional pieces. Add a rhinestone, and you're finished!

 SO pretty!!

I might stamp up a few more of these and send them with Mom when she's here to visit. :)
