Stamp Clubs

For Stamp Club in March, we had enough people that I had everyone grouped into a group of 4 people. So, each group did one of these cards, all using the same technique: watercoloring with the aqua painter.

Cards I have been working on...

This card actually has Dazzling Diamonds over the flower.

I didn't have any of the Kiwi Kiss ribbon in yet, so the red is holding the place until I can use the correct ribbon. I embossed the background with a Cuttlebug embossing folder.

The tree on the left I did with crayon resist then applied heat and stick powder and added Dazzling Diamonds. It really makes a presence in real life.

This angel is gorgeous. I did apply Crystal Effects to the wing, you just can't tell it from the picture.

This was a cute card I did for a Stamp a Stack.

The tree is embossed and I used silver Encore for the snowflakes around the tree. I sponged on Bashful Blue to take away the starkness of the white. Actually, I've sponged several of the above cards to add a little depth.

This card idea is directly from the Holiday mini and I love it!!!! It's great because it only uses the one set and makes a very complete card.

This idea I cased from splitcoaststampers. I tweaked it a little, but love it.

AGain, this wreath idea was copied from someone else.

Stamp Clubs!

If anyone is interested in joining a Stamp Club, please contact me!

• Here are the details: We meet every other month and create around 3 Make-n-Takes. We use a basic stamping technique, an advanced technique, and do one stamping project. (Last time we did water bottles, this month we are stamping flip flops and drink chubbies.)

• Every member is required to submit a minimum order of $25.00 per meeting. In return, each member receives the hostess benefits once per year - in addition to receiving the great projects we do, the fellowship, and the food!! On the month that someone is receiving the benefits, the opportunity is also available to hold a separate workshop right before or after the Club meeting in order to increase the hostess benefits received. The location of Club meetings rotate between the members homes, or choice of where to hold it.

• I currently have one Stamp Club with one opening but would love to start at least one more! If you have a group of at least five people, you could have your own Club! We can focus on either mainly cards, mainly scrapbooking, or a mixture of both.

• If I have more people interested in meeting monthly, I can do that as well as long as we have enough people committed to a certain monthly purchase to create a workshop!

Contact me today to learn more or join!

Cool summer time idea from Stampin' Up! in altering a water bottle! My kids are going to do this with school colors for my son's graduation.
