September Project

This is the project for September. There are 4 little notecards that will go into the little purse shaped box. These are quick and easy as the shapes are all punched out. Punches used are 5 petal flower, scalloped circle, 2" circle, 1 1/2" circle and 1/2 circle. LOTS of punches. The stamp set used is In the Spotlight (a Hostess set).

True Friend

Here is a pretty card made with the new True Friends stamp set from the Holiday Mini catalog. Stamps used are True Friend. Paper used is Blue Bayou, Really Rust, Sahara Sand and Vanilla. Inks used are Blue Bayou, Sahara Sand and Really Rust. Accessories used are corner punch, distress tool, mat pack, pop up glue dot, circle punch and micro beads.

I used the pop up dot in the center of the flower and then covered it with micro beads. This gives the flower some dimension.

Oh So Lovely

Here is another Oh So Lovely Card - we will do this
one at the September camp. Stamp sets used
are Oh So Lovely and Close as a Memory. Paper used is Vanilla. Inks used are River Rock and Chocolate Chip. The only accessory is brown
ribbon.
You could used this reverse masking technique for any occasion - just change your stamps and sayings.

Oh So Lovely

Here is a card we will do at Sept. camp using the reverse masking technique.

Give Thanks watercolor crayon card

Here is a fun card using the Stampin' Up watercolor crayons and aqua painters. Stamps used are Give Thanks and Flannel background. Paper used is Pumpkin Pie, Mellow Moss and watercolor paper. Inks used are Black Stazon, Pumpkin Pie and Mellow Moss. Accessories used are moss ribbon, horizontal slot punch and distress tool.

It is a good idea to use Stazon ink when you are watercoloring because it won't run. Scribble on a foam plate with the crayon and use the aqua painter to pick up the color. Then just color in your image with the aqua painter. This photo is a little dark so the image looks a little more washed out then it does in real life.

Booglie Eyes Halloween card

Here is a Halloween card that we will be doing for the September camp. Stamps sets used are Booglie Eyes and All Holidays. Paper used is Only Orange, Green Galore and Lovely Lilac. Ink used is black. Accessories used are bashful Blue marker, decorative edged scissors and circle punches.

Reason to Smile card set

This post is by request from Jodi. I used the pallete of prints paper. Stamps used are Reason To Smile and Riveting which are both retired. It would be easy for you to substitue other stamps and make a set of cards as a gift.

Fine Lace

This is a special request from Carol.

The Fine Lace on the card on the left is

stamped with White Craft Ink. The card on the

right is stamped with Versamark with white embossing powder. As you can see the card on the right is brighter and has some texture to it (I am sure that you can't see the texture). The card on the left is much softer.

True Friend

This is a card made with a new stamp set from the Holiday Mini Catalog. Stamps used are True Friend and Three for You Punch Box. Paper used is NQ Navy, Vanilla and Really Rust. Inks used are NQ Navy and Really Rust.

I used the small circle stamp from the punch box to stamp the Not Quite Navy dots on the background. It matches the brad in the center of the flower. We will be using this stamp set for the September camp also (a different card).

Oh So Lovely ( the first of several)

I recieved a new stamp set and had a lot of fun playing with it. I will post several cards that I made with the Oh So Lovely stamp set. This one is using a technique requested by Jackie -reverse masking. We will use it at stamp camp next month when Jackie is the hostess. No Jackie, we won't be making THIS card but we will be using this technique.

It doesn't take many supplies to do this technique and you get great results. I used a piece of acetate and my coluzzle to cut out the rectangle.

Stamps used are Oh So Lovely and Close as a Memory. Paper is just Very Vanilla. Inks used are Bashful Blue and NQ Navy.

This will be a fun new technique for everyone at Septembers stamp camp.

Oh So Lovely #2

I love the colors of this card. Stamp sets used are Oh So Lovely and Linen background. Paper used is Ballet Blue, More Mustard and Mellow Moss. Inks used are Black, More Mustard and Versamark.

The Mellow Moss background is stamped with the Linen background in Mellow Moss. The Ballet Blue is stamped with versamark. I used Mellow Moss Stampin' Up ribbon.

You could easily put a small saying down in the lower right corner.

This card was totally CASED from one that I saw on Splitcoast Stampers. Love that place!

Oh So Lovely #3

Here is another card make with the Oh So Lovely hostess
set. Stamp sets used are Oh So Lovely and Three for You
punch box. Paper used is Vanilla and Blue Bayou. Inks used are Choc. Chip, Blue
Bayou and Old Olive. I used the mat pack to make the
faux stitching around the image and then used the
choc. chip marker to look liked stitching.

This is a fun and simple card that could be made for any occasion. Stamps used are Oh So Lovely, Holidays and Wishes and True Friend. Paper used is Vanilla and Blue Bayou. Inks are Sahara Sand and Blue Bayou. I also used the new scallped circle punch.
