Stampin' Friends and Card Creations

Do you have a group of friends that crafts together?  I have a group of girls I stamp together with about once a month - when we can get our schedules to match up!  We thought it would be easier once our kids grew up and moved on - but it seems to be getting more difficult to keep our calendars free!  The times we spend together are well worth the effort, though.

When we get together, we have a 'shoebox swap' where we each make a card and bring all the supplies for the rest of the group to make our card. I thought today I would share some of their card projects with you.

Most supplies are Stampin' Up! unless otherwise noted.  Purchase the Stampin’ Up! Supplies to make this project at my ONLINE STORE.

I hope you enjoyed seeing my friends' creations!  I'll post more on Thursday.
Thanks for stopping by today!

It's Looking a LOT Like Christmas in MN!

Well, since it is snowing today in Minnesota, will you let me get by with showing you some belated Christmas cards?? You can maybe adapt these ideas to other occasions such as birthdays or thinking of you.  Or just file these ideas away for next year!  We made these cards at our CLOclub class last December.

The folded tree is made from half of a 4" circle.  Super easy and cute!  I just attached it with SNAIL tape runner and it pops up with dimension on its own.

I CASEd this card from my fellow demonstrator, Dawn Musil-Thomas.  The poinsettia is stamped twice on vellum cardstock, then cut twice - once the larger image, once the smaller image.  The background poinsettia and sentiment are stamped with Versamark ink and embossed with white embossing powder.

I used Dazzling Details for the flower centers:

I love the Starburst Technique, or Sunburst as some call it.  Super simple to do, it gives impressive results! I made quite a few of these with birthday greetings on them, too!

The Starburst is built on a separate piece of cardstock (I used a 3x5 index card, trimmed!) and then attached to the Pool Party layer.

Here's a closeup of the edges, so you can see how I built the layers . . .

Valentine LOVE, Post 4-4

Happy Valentine's Day

stampin' friends!  Here are a couple more Valentine cards to inspire you!

This card was the result of waaaaay too much Pinterest surfing!  Well, maybe never too much . . . ha!  Banners are all the rage, and I love love love my new Banners Framelits dies - they make banner tails perfect and quick to make!

I flared the banner tails a bit  by pressing and curling them between my thumb and forefinger . . .

The embossed strip is separate from the card - I embossed it, wrapped the ribbon around the bottom edge, and attached it over the tops of the banners and flush with the top edge of the card fold.

All supplies are Stampin' Up! unless otherwise noted

Card Recipe
Stamps:  Well Scripted
Ink:  Real Red
Paper:  retired Real Red & Pretty in Pink DSP, Very Vanilla
Extras:  Adorning Accents textured impressions embossing folder, Real Red grosgrain ribbon (retired), pink rhinestone
Inspired by:  creations on Pinterest

Purchase the Stampin’ Up! Supplies to make this project at my ONLINE STORE.

This card was inspired by another card designed by my stampin' friend, Shirley Guzzi.  So simple - I love that! - and yet elegant and pretty.

I don't often use Rose Red, but I had some Rose Red Seam Binding that I wanted to use up, so I pulled out the card stock and ink, too.

The tulip images uses the two-step stamping technique:  the more solid image is stamped lighter, and the detail image is stamped darker.  I stamped both images using Rose Red ink.  I 'stamped off' the solid image on scratch paper before stamping it again on the white cardstock - this creates a lighter image.  Then I stamped the detail image full strength right over the solid image to create darker detail.

All supplies are Stampin' Up! unless otherwise noted

Card Recipe
Stamps:  Watercolor Minis, Painted Posies (both retired)
Ink:  Rose Red, Pear Pizzazz
Paper:  Rose Red, Whisper White
Extras:  Rose Red Seam Binding ribbon (retired color), BasicGrey embossing folder, Dimensionals
Inspired by: Shirley Guzzi

 I hope your day is sweet and full of LOVE!  Thanks for stopping by today!
