Card Night Friday April 13th

Friday the 13th of April was a very fun Card Night. We had the regular "club" members, seasoned stampers and scrappers and some newbies.

The above card is found right in the beginning of the Stampin' Up! catalogue. The only difference is the colours used and the ribbon. I really like this hostess stamp set and this colour combo. Stamp Set- Reasons to smile. Colours- Chocolate Chip, Old Olive, Taken with Teal and Tempting Turquoise.

Oh I had so much fun making this card. I enjoy the long card they're interesting to work with since its out of my normal thinking strategy for a card.

Stamp Set- Wild About You. Colours- Regal Rose, Bashful Blue, Certainly Celery, and Pretty in Pink. Blue Gingham Ribbon. All circles were done with punches from Stampin' Up!

This card is also another hostess set which I really like working with. Very pretty! The background has small flowers and dots on it and the center of the flowers have dazzling diamond glitter. Kind of hard to see in the picture, it shines and looks like rain falling in real life. The inside quote says "Friendship is the shelter to life's little storms".

Stamp Sets- Dots and Daisies (retired background) and Blooming with Happiness. Colours- Barely Banana, and Bashful Blue.

March 30th Card Night

Here are the 3 cards that we made last Friday. All materials are from Stampin' Up!

"Hoppy for you" Frog image from the Sell-a-bration set Very Punny. Colours- Chocolate Chip, Old Olive, Real Rust and Cool Carribean.

"Bugs and Kisses" Bugs and Kisses stamp setl. Colours- Real Red, Pumpkin Pie, Green Galore, Gable Green and black. As with many of my other cards you can not see that this background is also covered in stamps using Real Red ink.

"Live Well, Laugh Often, Love Much" I really like this card it all fold up and you can tie a ribbon around to keep it closed when you send it. Stamp set is Spring Garden. Colours- Mellow Moss, Perfect Plum, Pretty in Pink, Rose Red and Brocade Blue.

To See The World....

A fairly simple card but I really like the quote and the gold leaves embossed look really sharp. You can't see that the green background also has leaves stamped on it. I think this card could use a small bit of gold thread in between the two eyelets at the bottom of the quote but I didn't have any handy.
I don't know who the quote stamp is by the solid leaf image is by Penny Black. All other materials are Stampin' Up!

Birthday Beauty

A simple card birthday card and tag that we made for the 2yr old birthday party this weekend. You can't see it in the picture but the Beauty Queen's tiara, sash, shoes and the "S" on the tag are all glittery.

Beauty Queen stamp set, Pretty in Pink cardstock, and Dazzling Diamonds glitter from Stampin' Up! The gorgeous paisley printed paper is from Close to My Heart.

Picture Frame

This is a picture frame I created from an idea in the Stampin' Up! main catalogue. On page 145 with the Bugs & Kisses set there is a picture frame. I've altered it to suit a little girl who's birthday party we went to this past weekend. The frame was painted with acrylic paints and decorated with various dots & dashes ribbon, all from Michael's. I stamped the caterpilliar and word images on white cardstock, sponged with Pretty in Pink Ink and layered on Pretty in Pink cardstock. I've done other frames similiar to this, i'll have to get the pics to share with you.
