May Stamp of the month

When I cut our this lace doily, I wanted the center cut out to give a window effect. So I used the thin cut circle that fit right inside the holes.  Sweet girl paper and peach cardstock was used.  This was one of the cards we made at the Spring Fling.

September Stamp of he month

Tuesdays' class Feb 2, 2016

We made Stamp of the month cards using Penelope paper and just 3 out of the 6 balloon animals, these are such cut cards and there is so much you can do with them. Everything you see stamped on these cards come from the set.  Remember you can only get this set this month. This is not only good for birthdays, but also babies. 

Wait until you see the elephant, giraffe and rabbit made into cards and scrapbook pages.

This card was for a masculine valentine card using B1507 To the Moon.  Pg 11 in the new Expressions catalog.   

We used sapphire paper, embossed it with the star background embossing folder and sanded it.
We then spritzed it with white watercolor.  Edged the words and the planet with blue and colored the rocket with watercolor pencils.
Hope your enjoying this foggy day, should go out but why?  

Tuesday's 1-19 class cards

Here are the cards we made from the January Stamp of the month at Tuesday's class. This stamp set can be used for some many occasions.  

Belt buckle card, sorry the picture is blurry. I do have the slot cuts on a Design Space file.

I watercolored the colors on a sheet of paper and stamped it with Momento black ink.

I was asked to post the class cards  for some of my snow birds.

I have a layout to post tomorrow that really says it all for us on the East coast.  I will be easy to put pictures on the pages.  

Tuesday's class

These cards were made using the January Stamp of the month. Inspired by Kathy Burrows.  This set had lots of possibilities.  The favorite words on Tuesday was "thinking of you". So many times we could be sending out cards just to let someone know they are in our thoughts.  Who doesn't love getting (RAC) random acts of kindness cards.  

This card uses fern ink and the sprig from the Stamp of the month.  S1513. Fern cs for the  base cut at 4 1/4 x 11" (cropped out) black 4x 5 1/4"  and col. white 3 3/4 x 5" to stamp on.  Very fast and simple. Almost forgot added fern twine as an accent.  Words are from the set also. 

This card was stamps in slate and colored in with colored pencils.  We scribbled a small circle of yellow on scrap paper and picked it up with a waterbrush to add accents to the end of the sprigs.  The large rose was popped.  The words were from "Say it all" stamp set.  Silver foil tape was added under the Get well soon.  

This card was made by embossing silver for the flower, the sprigs and the words.  We also added silver around the edge of the white stamping piece.  The rose was popped.
 
Check back tomorrow when I  show the two band aid cards I made.  

October stamp of the month cards

October Stamp of the month cards. Hurry you can only get this stamp set in Oct. Let me know if you would like this set.

Here is my favorite new card technique.   It called a pop out card.  You start with a 8"x5 1/2" piece of cardstock and score it at 2", 3" 5" 6"  Fold it so the center pops out. On the back side you glue a shape only on the left of the fold, that helps it stand up.  Add B&T strips to the front 3 panels and a sentiment in the middle.  Watch for the Thanksgiving card in the next post.  

Iris folding, Tues class

I discovered this frog cut out from our new cartridge "Artfully Sent" page 26 and by teaming him up with the January Stamp of the month, this makes a cute card.  Using it for Valentines Day or a birthday and you have a fun card .  Putting the springs under his eyes really  makes it fun.

This is the positive cut out from hot air balloon.
We covered it with washy tape, dry embossed the
background and mounted it to the card.

This card was made with envelopes, check out the
inside of business envelopes and you will see all different
patterns and colors.

These cuts were done on the Cricut, to match the pattern and the shape from the cartridge.

background.

We did one more card, I will post it on my next post.

Thanks to Gina,  this is what we made today at Cricut club.  These projects make great Christmas items.
The stamp set is the Oct Stamp of the month (S1310 Scandinavian Wishes.  The items were cut from the Art Philosophy and Artiste cartridges.   

Card class

Spring Card Making day

If you were lucky enough to attend yesterday's Spring Fling you have these cards to be proud of.

For Always

Stacy was not able to attend, but her creative artwork was there.   We got to see alot of her  artwork on the raffle table, she made this hot air balloon,  3-D lamps, picnic baskets and a turtle all with our new paper.  

DREAM POP
This is the card that I brought to make, I wanted to feature  the May Dream Pop  paper  special.  This paper pack comes with  bright colors and resist.  If you look at the flower, you will see shiny lines that can be sponged in all different colors to match any look that you want.  The paper on the left is another paper from Dream Pop and we highlighted it with black shimmer trim.  "Frame it Up"  D1524, was framed with my favorite Joyful Birthday B1419.  I love the new screen stamp D1544 with the black tulle.  

Class cards

Today we made cards that were clean and simple.

This is a sample of the stamp of the month, we loved that fact that the bird and the wing was cut with the Artiste Cricut cartridge, which make this card so easy.  Wait until you see the hot air balloon!

The gears card is a great masculine card and easy to make.  Using the Aritiste Cricut cartridge, the gears are plentiful and there are tons to pick from.
