August Stampers’ Club
Posted: August 17, 2007 Filed under: Garden silhouettes, Garden Whimsy Leave a comment
I decided to feature the designer paper at Stampers’ club this month with the new Garden Whimsy set. The butterfly is embossed with clear e.p. on White cardstock and then sponged with Pretty in Pink and So Saffron.
Supplies:
Stamps: Garden Whimsy
Inks: Pretty in Pink, So Saffron, Versamark
Cardstock: Old Olive, Pretty in Pink, So Saffron, Whisper White, Petals &Paisley D.P.
Also: Fresh Favourites Eyelets, Pink Gingham ribbon, clear embossing powder.
You can’t see it in this picture but the Not quite Navy cardstock is the new textured cardstock which is just like linen. I tried several times to add to this card but ended up wanting it simple like this. The delicate design of the Queen Anne’s Lace is pretty enough on its own.
Supplies:
Stamps: Garden Silhouettes, Short and Sweet
Inks: Not Quite Navy
Cardstock: Not Quite Navy, Soft Sky, Confetti Cream

July Stampers’ Club cards
Posted: August 8, 2007 Filed under: Artfully Asian, Polka dots & Paisley Leave a comment
The first month for Stampers’ club was also the night of my Open House for the new catalogue. These are the cards that everyone made. I am really enjoying using the Polka Dots & Paisley set, the paisley and dot stamps are great to make pretty but not floral cards.
Supplies:
Stamps: Polka Dots & Paisley, Hugs and Wishes
Inks: Bashful Blue, Wild Wasabi
Cardstock: Bashful Blue, Wild Wasabi, White, Mellow Moss
Also: Moss gingham ribbon, Circle punches
The mini thank you card was a fun way to use the watercolour pencils and I was pleased with the colour combination given that Taken with Teal is not a big favourite of mine.
Supplies:
Stamps: Artfully Asian
Ink: Basic Black
Cardstock: Taken with Teal, Rose Red, Soft Sky.
Also: Blender Pens, Watercolour pencils (Faber Castell)

Supplies:
Stamps: Shapes and Shadows, Hugs and Wishes
Inks: Pumpkin Pie, Elegant Eggplant, Markers
Cardstock: White, Pumpkin Pie, Elegant Eggplant
Also: White grosgrain ribbon, Stampin’ Dimensionals

Here is a card made by my 6 year old son. It is a good example of the kind he likes making at present. He picks a theme, often the theme of the birthday party he is going to and makes a collage. He designed this card all by himself and I just provided the card stock.
Butterfly
Posted: July 31, 2007 Filed under: Measure of a Life Leave a comment
Although this is made using a retired set which I have now sold I like the technique so I decided to post it anyway. I like the technique used on the background: embossing the image in clear embossing powder. It is hard to see in the photo but the butterfly has a second layer which is raised by stamping dimensionals.
My first order from the new catalog should arrive today so that will help me cope with missing the cottage, the lake and the friends who are still there.
Supplies:
Stamps: Measure of a Life
Inks: Versamark, Night of Navy & Bravo Burgandy markers
Cardstock: Whisper White, Night of Navy, Bravo Burgandy
Also: Burgandy grosgrain ribbon, clear E.P., stampin’ dimensionals.
