Gingham Technique Pefrectly Preserved Cherries

Don't have a background paper that works for your color combination?  Make your own.  This gingham technique was easy to do.  Using your brayer, ink up the inside of your Stripes Embossing Folder.  Put your card stock in the folder and run it through the Big Shot like you would normally do.  Then reink your folder and turn the card stock a quarter turn before placing it in the folder again.  Run it back through the Big Shot and voila - you have a gingham background with texture too!

Lollipop Card

I knew I wanted to make one of these lollipop cards when I began seeing them around the internet, and I especially liked the one my friend Mary Ellen made. I used hers for my inspiration and used as many of our new colors of cardstock as I could. This was one of the stamp-a-stack cards we did this weekend. With the Teeny Tiny Wishes stamp set having so many choices, it made it easy to create a great all purpose card. It's not at all hard to make, but it does take some time gluing down all of the pieces. That 5 petal flower punch came in handy once again for something other than a 5 petal flower - we used it to create the leaves.

Have a happy and safe Independence Day everyone!

Windshield Wiper Card Thank You

Here's another stamp club project we did last week.  I used two retiring colors and liked them so well I used that combination for a stamp-a-stack card too.  The colors are Taken with Teal and Green Galore, and if you want some of your own, the supplies are dwindling in certain colors.  They won't all be available through the end of May as we expected.  Click here to order these or any other retiring colors.  

 

When you pull the card on each side, the little flag piece comes up like a windshield wiper!  You just stick the flag down in one corner and it will fold up and down with the card. 

Supplies:  Green Galore, Taken with Teal, Whisper White cardstock, Green Galore, Taken with Teal, Close to Cocoa ink, Cheep Talk, Teeny Tiny Wishes, Stem Sayings stamp sets, white grosgrain ribbon, pinking hearts border punch

Stamp-a-Stack Sneak Peek

This is just one of three different baby cards we will be doing Friday night at my Stamp-a-Stack using Fox & Friends. We are doing this green one, but also a baby boy blue and baby girl lavender card. It was a great chance for me to use my Perfect Polka Dots Textured Impressions Folder. The nice thing about that is that all 3 pieces of cardstock can go through the Big Shot at one time! Teeny Tiny Wishes has this little greeting to finish the card off.

Supplies: Fox & Friends, Teeny Tiny Wishes stamp set, Whisper White, Certainly Celery cardstock, Perfect Polka Dots Textured Impressions Folder, Big shot, Scallop Circle, 1 3/8 circle punches
