September Stamp Club and Class Thursday, September 3rd at 3:30 or 6:30 p.m.

Please let me know if you are coming and at which time, so I may cut enough projects and have enough spots around the table. 

$10, or $5 with a $25 purchase, FREE with a $50 purchase, or FREE for 6 month/$25 club members.

I wanted to try a Halloween card with an unusual color scheme.  Well, this ~really~ is different. I also think the yellow eyes are super creepy.  Remember, you can always, make the elements of this card and then use it for scrapbooking.  

On the other hand if you don't do Halloween, I will have the white craft ink out for you to put on the trees instead of the Chocolate Chip.  You would stamp white snowflakes among the branches and use the "Making Spirits Bright" sentiment stamped in Island Indigo. (You'd also not use the Daffodil Delight ribbon.)

Then, I used the MOJO Monday sketch for this week, (MOJO 412) and cut down a spider web doily to a size I preferred by taking out the middle and overlapping the edges. (It was also necessary to fold the web before each fleur de lis point.) I love the effect that creates because the web doesn't stick flat...it is more wispy.  There are 1/2 glue dots under each fleur de lis point. I colored three Jack O'Lanterns in the Happy Haunting Designer Series Paper for added spookiness. :)  A few rhinestone bling add a fun sparkle.

Our Easel of the month for September will use the Howl-O-ween Treat set with the whimsical owl.

We'll also make the birthday card with the Your Presents set that I made at Convention.

August Class and Club Thursday, August 6th at 3:30 or 6:30....

Please let me know if you are coming and at what time, so I may cut enough projects and have enough spots around the table. $10, or $5 with a $25 purchase, FREE with a $50 purchase, or FREE for 6 month/$25 club members.

First we'll make this Bleached card....I was inspired by a lovely swap card I received from Stampin Up!'s convention. It was Cherry Cobbler bleached to Very Vanilla, but it didn't have marker added. It was very pretty...Thank you unknown fellow demo!

We're going to have an Easel Card of the Month this fall and winter, so for August/September, we'll make this Fall Easel card which is a combination of the hardwood background made into a fence with my attempt at a Sunflower with the petal from the Flower Fair Framelits.  We always make cards for others, but I made this one for my desk at my part time job. :)  You can choose another sentiment of course. If you need a Get Well card, I think "Happy Healing" would look great.

Then, this lovely card which I CASE'd from my sweet friend, Paula Wright.  I love the light colors and soft look of the butterfly. 


Finally, we'll make a Treat Bag of the Cherry on Top Designer Series Paper Stack. Your bag may be made from the Balloon, Candle or Sweets pages.

I saw a card very similar to this and knew we'd want to make it for class. Sadly, the person had CASEd the card, so I don't know the original designer.  What a great idea it was--If you are the stamper in question, message me, and I will of course give you credit.

This card uses the new Elegant Dots Embossing Folder which I think coordinates well with the candy stamp and sentiment in this set as well as the candy Designer Series Paper sheet from the Cherry on Top paper stack.  For a main image I used the Amazing Birthday stamp with the Banners Framelits for a change. The colors were chosen for me by the DSP, and they are colors I like, but would not have normally put together.  I like the new Washi Label punch even more than I thought I would too!

I love these butterflies from the Watercolor Wings stamp set when stamped on white, but I wanted to try a different look and stamped in black on Pumpkin Pie. It is so fun to have a Butterfly embossing folder too!  I punched the Washi label punch twice to shorten it...It is so versatile.

I so like the Barnyard Babies Set. It is adorable for baby cards of course, but there are many fun possibilities for just Thinking of You type cards like the one I made below.

June Club and Class June 4 at 3:30 p.m.or 6:30 p.m.

Our June Club and Class will be June 4 at 3:30 p.m.or 6:30 p.m.

We'll also make this Ice Cream Card with the Ronald McDonald House Charities Set. It uses MOJO400 sketch :

And finish up with this Hot Diggity Dog, It's your Birthday! card:

Masculine May Class and Club Thursday, May 14th at 3:30 or 6:30 p.m.

Our class will be Thursday, May 14th at either 3:30 p.m. or 6:30 p.m.

I thought it would be a good idea to offer this graduation card for class this week.  It is available in either Navy, Green or Maroon with Grey.  Edmond High School colors just happen to be pretty darn masculine, so they'd make a great card for a man's birthday for those of you who don't need a graduation card this year. You can just change the "Happy Graduation" to "Happy Birthday" and replace the mortar board/cap with the "CELEBRATE!" sentiment from this set.

Next is this Happy Father's Day To A Classic card. You can give it to your dad or your kids' dad, and it makes a fun Birthday card if you don't need either of those too.  I love how easy it is to position the sentiments on the clear blocks just by using the grid paper.

Another card with options is this Ship Happy Birthday....You could also exchange the ship for the slightly smaller anchor from the Guy Greetings Set and use the sentiment "You're my anchor"....for a masculine anniversary card if you need that.

Finally, 

April Stamp Club and Class Thursday, April 2 at 3:30 or 6:30 p.m.

This card uses the current Artisan Embellishment Kit (Item #137909).  I used the Die Cut Roses piece to create a stencil to create the Blushing Bride colored roses with Old Olive Leaves.  I saw the stencil idea on Patty Bennett's Blog as well as the grouping of 3 of the Rose Trim.  I know they are supposed to be Crisp Cantaloupe, but I think they look fine with Blushing Bride too.  I added Gold Satin Ribbon with Sahara Sand lace trim under it. 

This card uses Blackberry Bliss ink...stamped off twice then sprayed with a mist of water to create a pretty good representation of a Red Bud tree since they are blooming this week in Oklahoma.  The top of the card has a "Thinking of You" sentiment as well.

Though not as impressive as when colored by the discontinued Blendabilites, the stamp still makes a lovely card. I used So Saffron ink on the newspaper to add some ivory and blend the button color into the rest of the card.

Finally, we have this Butterfly Basics card.  What a great set for making One Sheet Wonder cards or making our own Designer Series wanna be Paper!

Happy Easter Bunny Oval Scallop Card
Stampin' Up! has the cutest little egg shaped Easter Bunny stamp that just begged me to make an oval card.  I used Pink Pirouette, Wild Wasabi, Soft Sky and Daffodil Delight.

Watercolor Bokeh Background

This watercolor bokeh technique card is intentionally similar to the layout of the bokeh card we did last month so that the technique shines through. This was fun to make and would be great in SO many color combinations.

Celebrate Your Day with Cake

I used the MOJO Monday Sketch 386 for this card...just slightly simplified.  The colors are a little too dark in my photograph, but they are Pumpkin pie, Daffodil Delight, Blackberry Bliss and Coastal Cabana.  There is a matching "Happy Birthday" sentiment for the inside of the card as well.

You Crack Me Up! Chicks

These little chicks are sweet in Pistachio Pudding, So Saffron and Crisp Cantaloupe.  You could even use this for a spring Birthday card with just a "Happy Birthday" inside instead of Happy Easter.
