February Club Projects

I love butterflies!  One of the ladies at my weekly Wednesday class was giving me a hard time.  I told her to watch it or else all the cards would have butterflies....teehee.

This has been the favorite of most.  I love the Mixed Bunch stamp set in the new Occasion Mini.  And having a matching punch is just an added bonus.  I embossed all 3 flower stamps with red craft in and clear embossing powder.  The ribbon was a challenge for me.  I didn't have and 1/4" grosgrain *gasp* I know!  So I did have some retired 5/8" polka dotted ribbon which I laid a piece of sticky strip down the middle of the polka dotted side and folded in the seams to make the ribbon.  It had to be red.  No other color would do!  haha.  Funny how we get our minds set on something.

I saw this look somewhere where they had pieced all the designer paper together and then ran it through the Big Shot with the embossing folder.  I LOVE it!  It looks like a nice soft quilt.

Wanted a nice simple male/female any occasion kind of card.  So for this card there was no sentiment.  Ladies could choose one for the inside if they wanted but most left it blank.  They like the idea of having a card in a pinch.  I can't get enough of the Mocha Morning DSP.  I will have to stock up before June!  I wish they would keep it!

January Club Projects

Wow, where has the time gone?  Bad demonstrator!  I must confess though, Dave's mom has been in the hospital since January 3rd and Dave himself was quite sick over the holidays.  I have been working part time at the clinic and you know, everyday stuff on top of that.  Not to make excuses.  So here are the projects for January.  I am going to post February too!  And with any luck get back on track.  So here goes it.  Let me know what you think!

I always try and make sure the girls and I are prepared for our Valentine's well in advance.

I LOVE the new labels dies from Stampin' Up!  I uses shimmer paint on the embossed background and embossed the Apothecary Stamp in Pewter embossing powder and colored with my markers.

Had to try out my new Sale-A-Bration goodies.  The Ribbon and designer paper are FREE items I earned.  The scallop edge is also a new edgelit that Stampin' Up! has come out with.

Celebrate is part of a new Sale-A-Bration stamp set you can earn for free with any $60 purchase.  You can never have too many sentiments in my book.

Nice simple card.  It was all about the paper for me.  I love the new ruffled satin ribbon available in the new Occasion Mini.  The stamp set with the Happy Birthday and flourish frame is a Sale-A-Bration set that can also be earned for free with any $60 purchase.  So much to choose from this year.

Teacher / Student Christmas Treats

 All the treats ready to go for the last day of school!  Whew!  Got them done!

 These were the cute Santa Sacks filled with Chocolate Saltine Toffee.....addicting!

 These little Santa faces were attached to a licorice stick in cello.  These were for Ryan's Class.

These Candy Treat Boxes were for Shane's Class.  They had Hershey's Kisses which were white chocolate and candy cane flavored.  They were yummy too.  Of course I had to sample!

December Club Projects

 Again, still waiting for some ladies to come finish their cards.  I love the above stamp set.  Can't wait to use it again for next years cards.....

November Club Projects....

I'm late posting these club pictures because some club members haven't made them yet.  I usually wait until all club members have made their cards then post the pictures.  I just don't want to wait any longer.

October 2011 Club Projects

September's Card Club Projects

Spinner Card that I made for Jared's 14th Birthday.  (In the box part I slid in a Kit Kat Bar)  I liked it so much, I made it one of our club projects.

I saw a card similar to this.  I love all the different textures.  The flowers are heat embossed using red craft ink and clear embossing powder.

Great guy card.  Can never have too many of those kicking around.

Here is the inside.

Similar to the one above but I just love the rich Mocha Morning Specialty Designer Paper.  I ran out of the crochet trim ribbon for everyone to have on their card so I switched it out for the quilted Cherry Cobbler satin ribbon in the holiday mini that just came out.  Wait until you see it!  Gorgeous!

August's Christmas Card/Tag Class Projects

This image was colored with water color pencils & a blender pen.  The red was with a marker.  Can't see it in the picture but there is lots of dazzling diamonds on the tree, steps and snow.

Bells & Boughs.  I heat embossed the bells with gold embossing powder and colored with markers.

I love this card.  It's like looking out your window seeing the neighborhood kids racing home before the sun sets.  This was done with glossy paper and sponge daubers.  The kids are heat embossed with black embossing powder and the lovely as a  tree stamp was heat embossed using chocolate chip craft ink and iridescent ice embossing powder.

Thanks for stopping by.  Stay tuned.  September's club projects will post this Saturday!

Father's Day Card

I had a customer that wanted a "kit" of this card.  I surfed back through my blog and couldn't believe I had never posted it!  So here it is.  I hope the picture helps you put your kit together!

August's Card/Scrapbooking Club Projects

This card was totally case'd from Diane Gilbert.  As soon as I had seen this card, I fell in love with it.  The only difference is the embossing folder I used was the new striped from Stampin' Up!

I have always wanted to do the criss cross card....finally check that off the to do list!  I love it!
