May's Club Cards

Our May Club meeting turned out to be just the day before Mother's Day.  I used a Mother's Day card design I saw on Pinterest - more on the rest of the story in a bit.

A week before our Club date, I was working on designs for our meeting, and wanted to focus on soon retiring stamp sets and colors.  This birthday card turned out so well! 

It's a watercolor technique.  Stamp the flowers, and immediately use the aqua painters (water brushes) to spread the color around to give the petals color and dimension.


 I saw this pocket card on Pinterest as well, and loved it the moment I saw it.  The Designer Series Paper, Delightful Daisy is retiring and I wanted to present another idea for using this very pretty paper.
We heat embossed the pocket and die cut it.  Use Tear & Tape to get the best adhesion to your paper.

My students earn points for good behavior, and lose points when they are having issues.  One reward I offer is for 100 points - students can do Arts and Crafts with the Teacher.  I had a dozen kids want to make Mother's Day cards.  I had almost everything prepared, and on Friday, I called that group from each class to assemble their cards.  The students had to color the flowers (This was the sample they could use for an example.) and then glue up all their pieces.  

Here is the Christmas Card I offer every club meeting.  I wanted to feature this very pretty Christmas stamp set.  After looking at it, it needs ribbon.  I'll send that along next club date.  We used the Stamparatus to stamp the sentiment and pine needles.  I had a template set up, and we stamped away!

Many of these items are retiring.  Grab them while you can!

Marquee Messages Invitation

My dear friend didn't think she was going to get a birthday party. 
SURPRISE Rozella!
Her husband contacted me and we arranged a surprise party for her with a small but tightly knit group of friends.

This was the invitation I made from the stamp set Marquee Messages.  I loved it when it first turned up in the catalog - and don't use it as much as I'd like.  This was the perfect opportunity.  I added the flamingos and used that color as a theme since she's flamingo crazy!


This is the birthday card I made for her.

The flowered letters is a new technique I'm showcasing at my first stamp club in January.  SO pretty!

A few pics from the party with Alice, Brenda, and Dawn.

 Here is the cake Rozella's husband German brought for the party.

Birthday Card Buffet for the Stud!o #3

The stamp set used here is called Marquee Messages.  You can see all the options for this stamp set below.  When I first saw it, I loved it!  I haven't used it much, but I still LOVE it!

This card has options.  I LOVE options!  Teenage card, masculine card, make it in favorite colors for anyone's birthday!

I used Wink of Stella to add some sparkle to the accent arrow.  You could use pearls or rhinestones, even Stickles come to mind.

I've come to love sequins of late, and would add some all over this card.  

Contact Zandra McGraw at Celebrat!ions Stud!o in Bartlesville to make this card at her Buffet!

Marquee!


 I got very excited when I saw this stamp set in the new catalog!  It has lots of possibilities, and like the card says, it's AWESOME!

Before I saw the picture in the catalog, I could see each piece of this stamp done in different colors.  It took a bit of time, and 3 pieces of cardstock to get the center piece.  The fussy cutting on this wasn't difficult at all.

 I used 3 colors you wouldn't normally see together:  Wisteria Wonder, Mint Macaron, and Blushing Bride.  I took a chance, and am very happy with how the color combinations worked.
