Purple for Easter
This was the simpler card that the South Burlington stamp club group made last week. I loved a card that I spotted online that used the same embossing folder on vellum, so I replicated it for this Easter card that you see here. I also wanted to show off the stamp set...
So Many Panels!
This is the second card that the Essex stamp club created last week. I did a little Pinterest searching for fun folds and came across a few ideas with a 4-Panel card. I knew that I wanted to highlight some Sale-A-Bration products, so this was perfect. I actually used...
Draped Cross
I admit that I partially left the Stampin' Up! reservation when I designed this card. I created it for a church ministry that delivers Easter baskets to shut-ins. I met with a lovely group of gals yesterday to make up 23 of these pretty cards to go into the baskets in...
Shiny Word
In my last post I shared a card that featured a glossy die-cut word, but I didn't divulge how we made the word. Last night the Essex stamp club group made this card featuring "celebrate" that is created the same way. Now that both clubs have seen this, I'll share the...
Origami Birds
A while ago I created a card for a gift certificate that featured a glossy looking diecut word, and the recipient was very curious how in the world I created that. I learned the trick from the interwebz, and I decided to show the South Burlington stamp club group the...
Sale-A-Bration Coordination
Stampin' Up! has just released (a few hours ago) some items that are designed to coordinate with the Sale-A-Bration products that you've been enjoying for a couple of months. There are some Big Shot dies, a punch and a new stamp set with greetings that will coordinate...
Cupcake Wishes
I designed this card for two reasons. First, I needed to figure out the next card for the birthday card ministry for our church. I try to design cards that a small group can assemble quickly. I typically do the stamping in advance to speed up the process. This time, I...
Tea Anyone?
I decided to show the Essex stamp club the hinged die-cut technique as well this month. This time I featured the tea set from the Occasions catalog and the Ovals dies. I have to confess that I went a little crazy with coloring projects this month, but this pretty tea...
Hummingbird Glory
This was the "simpler" card that we made at the Essex stamp club this month. I went a little crazy with the coloring this month and both of the cards we made required the Stampin' Blends. I was happy to pull out this pretty stamp set and the coordinating dies for this...
Amazing Blooms
I designed this card for the South Burlington stamp club group. I wanted to take the opportunity to showcase a stamp set from the Occasions catalog. I actually received the pretty floral set at the November OnStage event, and this is the first time that I inked it up....
