2012 March Stamp Club Project

Here is one of the projects we are making tonight at Stamp Club.  This would make a great Easter Basket but could be used for lots of different occasions.

I hope the ladies like it.  I still have my house to clean and directions to type so I'm off........

Thanks for looking,

September 2011 Stamp Club Projects

 My November Stamp Club is next week and I didn't even post the projects from September.  I hold my stamp clubs every other month.  This gives the ladies time to try out their new purchases before it's time to buy again.  It also works out well because we start in September and go until May so the ladies have a chance to order out of each mini.  We also finish up before summer starts.

At each club meeting we do three projects.  I usually try to do 2 cards and a 3-d project.  For September I picked a card that had several techniques involved in it - Emboss Resist, Background stamping, Tearing, Sponging - and then the second card was a clean and simple card.

For the 3-d project, although it was pretty simple to make, I still managed to slip in a couple of techniques on this project - punch art (check out the cute pumpkin) and altering punches (using a punch in a different way than intended).  We also used the big shot to make the box.

Hope you like these fall projects and thanks for looking,

Kim

 

January Stamp Club 2011 Projects

Here are two of the project that we made at Stamp Club this evening.  I've already shown you a couple of the Treat Box Cards I have created.  They really are quick and easy to make once you have your first one under your belt.

And before someone points this out to me, I do know that the paper I used is retired.  But I have been trying to use up some of my stash and I didn't have any other Valentine paper, besides it is available on the Clearance Rack and so it was a great way to remind my club ladies to check it out periodically.

Do you see the candy and candles in the box?  Add a gift card in the pocket and this would make a great gift.

The card really is so much prettier in real life, but it's fuzzy in this picture.  It's been gray and gloomy here for days, so I haven't had a chance to get some better pictures.

I will post the third project later.

Thanks for looking,

Kim

March Stamp Club

Here is a card that we made at our Stamp Club tonight. I used the cake from the Year-After-Year stamp set.

The instructions are as follows:

1. Stamp the cake image using black stazon ink, let it dry a few minutes.
2. Using the Soft Sky ink pad and blender pen, color in the cake plate. Use the pretty in pink marker to color in the heart.
3. Using a 2-way glue pen, cover the cake with glue and sprinkle on Dazzling Diamonds glitter.
4. Stamp the leaf image from the Carte Postale set using Soft Sky ink.
5. Assemble the card as shown, stamp sentiment on the bottom using basic gray ink.
6. Attach basic gray taffeta ribbon (cut approx. 13”).

February Stamp Club Projects

Here are the cards we are making tonight at our monthly Stamp Club meeting. I just finished typing up the instructions. If anyone is interested in receiving the instructions, they are in a word document with pictures of the cards included, just send me an email.


I normally do a 3-D item, but I simply forgot. So next month I will make up for that. Now I need to go get my house cleaned up, at least the downstairs.

January 2008 Stamp Club

We kicked off the new stamp club on the 17th. All the ladies participating have all been in my previous clubs. Each month the ladies have a "homework assignment". This means they have to make a card for the next's month meeting following specific instructions or guidelines. If they do their homework, their names goes in a jar and at the end of the six months I draw a name and the winner gets a free stamp set.

This year, I had everyone bring a card to the first meeting and I told them we would start the club with a drawing for a free stamp set. This time though, everyone got to go home with a new stamp set. So their homework for next month is to make a card using their new set.


Here is a picture of the projects we did. We only used one stamp set to make all the projects. I wanted them to see how versatile this stamp set could be.

This year I am going to concentrate more on different products and techniques, rather than stamp sets. At last count, I was over 180 sets and even though I have a "stamping room", it's starting to get a little crowded in here.

April Stamp Club Projects

I have 2 stamp clubs each month and we do 2-3 projects. Here are the cards we did this month. The first card uses the masking technique and my new stamp set Wild Rose that I earned during Sell-a-bration.

We also did this card using the small oval punch to make the flower and the stamp set Graceful Words to make the stem. My husband didn't like this card very well, it does kind of remind me of my Granny's aprons.

The last card is supposed to look like a present or gift box. The card opens from the top.
