Center in the Park Card Two Shining Star

For the ladies at The Center in the Park I wanted to limit the number of Supplies they have to bring along to assemble their cards.  This card Features the Bright and Beautiful Stamp Set with it included inside and outside greetings.   Since everyone has some kind of Brown Ink I thought we would do a Brown card.  So we are using Early Espresso Stamped in versamark and embossed in Gold on a Baked Brown Sugar Base with embossed Lucky Stars Embossing folder.  The nice thing is I can pass around the Textures Boutique machine and everyone can give it a try.  This card is accented with the new Gold Glitter paper and I used one of the tags from chalk talk to cut the greeting.  I'm happy it turned out elegant not depressing I was worried about using Early Espresso for a Christmas Card but it is very nice sort of neutral classes with some shine.

Card Class at Center in the Park Card one of Two Joyful Wreath

  I'm thrilled to be invited back to Center in the Park to do Card with a wonderfully fun group of hardcore crafters.  This card is very similar to the one I did for September's Hostess Club with it having a wreath and a door.  This time I did it in Christmas colors.  I used Wild Wasabi paper and ink to start.  I then over stamped with Garden Green and Cherry Cobbler Berries that are topped with Cherry Cobbler Dazzling Details.  The Hardwood Stamp is Chocolate Chip on Sahara Sand.  The Joy is cut from Real Red Glitter Paper.  All on a Cherry Cobbler Cut and Ready Card Base.  There is so much to love about this Wondrous Wreath Stamp Set.  The taps on the stamps the tabs on the matching framelits, the photopolomer that can bee see through to line up leaves, the words in the framelits the word in the stamp set and on and on.  I have a feeling this card will be a hit!

Sketch Card 3 of 3 for September

   This Third Card from Sketch Class is The lovely Mossy Meadow Card stock for our base embossed with the Arrows Embossing Folder and the Scallop Tag Topper punch was used to turn a 2 x 3 piece of the Color me Autumn DSP into a Tag.  The Leaf from for All things Stamp set in the Holiday Occasions book on the oval of Very Vanilla sets a nice back drop for any greeting.  The acorns are from the Autumn Accents BigZ die which is quite handy given that I could cut the four layers of paper needed to make two acorns with one pass through the Big Shot.  Teh Ribbon is Hello Honey our newest yellow and one of the 2014-2016 in colors.

Hostess Club Projects for September

 September Hostess Club we made these cute fall projects.  I guess they were a hit since I received a lot of orders for the Hardwood stamp and the Wonderous Wreath and the Curvy Keepsake box Thinlit.  For the "door" we used Soft Suede on Baked Brown Sugar I cut two panels one that was 4 x 5.25 and one that was 3.5 x 4.5.  The larger is adhered to card base after stamping and sponging and the second is cut down the middle at 1.75 and then each of those is cut off center at 2 creating two panels 2 x 1.75 and 2 panels 2.5 x 1.75.  The wreath was stamped in Tangelo Twist then over stamped in Soft Suede, the berries were stamped in Gold Encore and then Gold Dazzling Details was applied after the whole card was assemble.  The bow was stamped in Tangelo Twist on Tangelo Twist.  The box was simply cut out adhered together with Fast Fuse.  One hint on the assembly-don't try to line up the inner corner of the box bottom just make sure the box bottom is a square and that you have handle across from handle and slot accross from slot.  I found that my score lines were very deep so I put them to the inside of my box so that the didn't have too much stress on them and tear.  The Gold Glitter Paper Feather and the Mossy Meadow Leaf are cute with the Wood Accent and the Linen Thread.

We stamped the To and From image from the Merry Everything Stamp set then punched it out with the Note Tag Punch then flipped it over and stamped the Grateful for You in Mossy Meadow.   The Give Thanks if from the Good Greetings Set that you can only get by hosting a $300 workshop between now and October 31.

The sixth and final project from my Fall Fun Stamp Camp is a Thanks giving card.  I made it in three colors before I could decide.  I went with the Whisper White base above, however the ladies loved the crumb cake and Blackberry Bliss version.  The DSP is from the Color Me Autumn DSP pack.  I stamped the images in Gold Encore ink and sponged everything with Crumb Cake ink.  I dipped the wood leaves on the Encore ink pad and wiped back the excess.  Here are the class instructions.

Stamp pumpkins and Happy Thanksgiving in gold ink you may want to heat set before you cut out. Assemble with dimensionals and glue dots.

Fall Fun Stamp Camp 4 of 6 Boo Card

Happy Friday!  my next project to share I cased from the Remarkable Stampers Pintrist page.  I'm not sure who pinned it but it's a cute idea.  I was worried about punching these squares straight so here's what I did.  I cut a panel 3 7/8 x 5 1/8 and made lines one horizontally 1/4 inch from the top edge then vertically 1/4 inch from the edge, 1 3/8 from that then 1/4 from that, 1 3/8, 1/4 from that etc across the paper and then punched the 1 3/8 inch square punch.  I used this as a template to mark my Tangerine Tango panel and then every one in class was able to be successful with their window.  Here are their directions:  Use template provided in bin to draw on the squres then punch out.
Cut out the ghosts-you can cut all three at once.
stamp on faces with momento ink. 
put adhesive on the bottom edge of each ghost and tuck them in so they look cute.  Cut off any ghost sticking out, add dimensionals to hold them in place and in corners, layer on black panel and Hello Honey card base.
Stamp "boo to you" on scrap. punch with Word Window punch and layer on black label punch add candy dots.
