Congrats

I am in the graduation card mode right now, but here is a more general card I can use for reasons other than graduation.  It uses the stamp from Happy Greetings in the new summer mini catalog.  Looks like a wheel, doesn't it?  The ribbon helped fill in the slight space between the two colors and finishes off the card.

4th of July Waterfall

My upline, Meg, hosts a quarterly event for downline members who have met certain qualifications.  I was fortunate enough to be able to participate and receive "wow" swaps from other very talented demonstrators.  The one from Debbie Jones was just perfect for this month's stamp club.  It is a waterfall card featuring the July Fourth set from the Summer Mini catalog.  If you didn't think you needed this set before, you will now!  Here is my version of her awesome card.  Thanks Debbie!

Pull the ribbon tab and watch the waterfall!

The great thing about waterfall cards is that they are so impressive but really not that hard to make.  You can find a step by step tutorial at Splitcoaststampers.com if you want to try your own. 

Supplies:  July Fourth stamp set, Night of Navy ink, Real Red, Brilliant Blue, Whisper White cardstock, Navy Grosgrain Ribbon, Eyelet, Brads, Crop-a-Dile

Punched Posies

This is one of the Stamp-a-Stack cards we did this weekend. I used soon to be retiring colors, but the stamp set is brand-new! It's a Level 2 hostess set, Punched Posies, from the Summer Mini Catalog. It's a great set because so many of the stamps coordinate with one of our punches which makes for some quick cutting! Our Stamp-a-Stack theme was birthday, but this card could just as easily be stamped with another cheerful greeting or left blank on the front.


Please contact me about hosting a workshop or collecting orders from friends and submitting a book party to get this great hostess only stamp set!



Supplies: Punched Posies, On Your Birthday stamp sets, Whisper White, Pink Passion, Only Orange, Green Galore cardstock, Passion Pink, Only Orange, Green Galore ink, Pumpkin Pie Grosgrain Ribbon, Stampin' Dimensional, Scallop Circle, 3/4 inch circle, Extra Large Fancy Flower punch

Tropical Celebrate Your Day

I am really happy with how this card turned out. But there was one nervous moment when I changed my mind on the greeting. Everything was finished and stuck down which meant there was one chance to get that "Celebrate" word to go through the middle with out grazing a flower. Haven't all stampers been there before - making a change to the card at the last minute causing us to have to do it the hard way?

I used the new Island Oasis Designer Series Paper and the new Tropical Party stamp set from the summer mini catalog. I have a feeling you will be seeing a lot from me with this set, and stamp club members will be making this card tonight!

Supplies: Tropical Party, Celebrate Everything stamp set, Whisper White, Tempting Turquoise cardstock, Island Oasis Designer Series Paper, Tempting Turquoise, Pumpkin Pie, Rose Red, Old Olive ink, Pumpkin Pie ribbon, Horizontal Slot punch, Stampin' Dimensional, Big Shot, Top Note die

Graduation Time

Here is a sneak peek at one of our stamp-a-stack cards for this weekend.  This one with the gray is an all purpose card for any graduate.  I also did one with my school's colors for fun.  If you have specific colors, we can customize yours a bit on Friday/Saturday if you would like.  No graduates this year?  Then the gray will be perfect and you won't have to run out some year in the futue and buy a card! 

This card uses the set Go, Graduate and also the a la carte single stamp Happy Grad from the brand new mini catalog.  I just couldn't decide so I ordered them both!  The clear block made it easy to stamp the rows of feet without a lot of trouble placing them. 

Supplies:  Whisper White, Basic Black, Basic Gray (Pumpkin Pie) cardstock, Go, Graduate, Happy Grad stamp sets, Basic Black ink, Ticket Corner, 1 1/4 circle, 1 3/8 circle and scallop circle punch
