Stampin' Up! Autumn Days Card Idea

Here is a fun ideas I came up with for a workshop demo last week using the Autumn Days stamp set.  This is a great guy card for any occasion.

It was so easy to do!

I punched a hole in a piece of scrap paper using the 3/4" circle punch.  Then, I laid the scrap paper over top of the white cardstock and sponged dusty durango ink in the hole to create the sun.  I removed the template, and sponged just a bit more durango ink around the sun to recreate the radiating effect.  Then I sponged crushed curry ink over the whole sky area.  For the ground, I sponged soft suede.

To create the phesant, I inked my stamp with the new in-color markers--dusty durango, bermuda bay and soft suede.  Then stamped it on the cardstock.

The spiral punch along the edge of the suede cardstock adds a fun dimension too.

If you are looking for a great nature/masculine set... this is the perfect new set to have.  Watch for another card idea with this set tomorrow.

Stampin' Up! Greenhouse Garden Card... Again!

I am going to win you over to this stamp set! Greenhouse Garden is by far my favorite new set from the catalog. (You don't have one yet? You can get one from me for FREE! Contact me to find out how!)

Back to the card!
This is the first time I've ever used this color combo together.... Lovely Lilac and Apricot Appeal. What do you think?

The modern label punch works great with the Teeny Tiny Wishes set... lots of greetings that fit in this punch (and the word window punch too!) The scallop oval makes a great accent beind the greeting.

Ok, back to creating... don't forget about that free catalog!

Stampin' Up! Greenhouse Garden Flower Pot Card

What a bouquet! This card was so much fun to make!

I used the FABULOUS Greenhouse Garden set. The eyelet border punch makes a great accent for the flower pot and the side of the card.
I used melon mambo, dusty durango, barely banana, old olive and crushed curry on this little gem. Cutting out the flowers is NOT as hard as it looks.... Trust me! I am the queen of simplicity! Give it a try... You'll love the results.

Stampin' Up! Greenhouse Garden Card

These are definitely not colors I would normally put together.... I think I stumbled upon them accidentally. I was in one of those moods where I wanted to stamp, but the brain didn't want to create.... so I just started playing and grabbing things in my stamp room. Well here's the result.... and I must say, I like it!
Greenhouse garden set with Blush Blossom, Only Orange, Rose Red and Old Olive. It's so pretty! I've gotten so many compliments on it at my workshops. I always make lots of samples with the sets I demonstrate to pass around to share even more great ideas with everyone.

If you haven't had a party in awhile, you really need to contact me! September is a GREAT month to have one. There are some GREAT HOSTESS SPECIALS from Stampin' Up! and also from ME! I won't spoil the surprise.... email me today to find out what great deal I'm offering!

Stampin' Up! Purses from Punches Card

This is such a clever idea! It's one of the cards we made at my last Stamp-A-Stack Class.


This card features the Circle Circus stamp set and uses LOTS of punches! I stamped an image from the set in 3 different colors.... certainly celery, bermuda bay and crushed curry. Then I punched them out using the 1-3/8" circle punch.


Next, I created handles by punching out the large oval punch from soft suede cardstock, then, from the scrap I used the scallop oval punch tocreate a punched out scallop ring. The purse clasp was made with the ends of the modern label punch and a gold brad.

The punced accents along the top and bottom are made with the spiral punch.

Make sure to sign up for an upcoming class. You can view my events schedule HERE.

Stampin' Up! Pocket Card Crazy for Circles!

Circle Circus! This set is so amazing! Talk about versatile!!!!!
Here is the 3rd card we made at stamp club.

I used melon mambo, pretty in pink and black for this little cutie!
And three punches.... modern label, word window and the rounded tab. And I think I have used 3 rolls of the melon mambo polka dot ribbon... LOVE IT! It's reversible... there's no polka dots on the other side. SO that's like 2 ribbons in 1!

Well, Stamp Club meets again in one month... It's always the 3rd Friday, and it meets in conjunction with my PMSS NITE. CLICK HERE for all the details... I'd love to have you join us!

Stamp club card #2!

Bright and cheery! This card would be great for any one... young or young at heart!

Party Hearty is the set featured here. I used tempting turquoise, pink passion and green galore.... isn't it fun!? Simply fold the top of the front of the card down and secure it with 2 brads.
The pullout reveals the birthday greeting.....

I hope you are enjoying these pocket cards from stamp club. Stop back tomorrow for the 3rd one!

Big Shot Two Tags Die & Texture Plates Card

This month at stamp club, we focused on pocket cards.....

I absolutely LOVE THIS ONE!

This one uses Greenhouse Garden (I don't care how many flower sets you have, you NEED this one!) Stampin' Up! hit the mark with these two new in-colors... Dusty Durango and Soft Suede.
The 2 tags die for the big shot works great for poket cards. Isn't it a great tag for this card? I also used a texture plte for the suede background, and even ran the stamped floral piece through to give that extra dimension.

Check back tomorrow for another club card!
