July 8, 16/ 2019 Three not so Quick Cards

It was a Stamparatus evening.  Each card used it for a different purpose – for proper placement on an small oval, for stamping a word multiple times and to accurately line up a stem and leaf (on the inside of the vases card). The time consuming card in this batch was Best Wishes. It took a while to arrange the ’spray’ of leaves with the flower and the oval but I think it was worth the extra time.

 

June 15/ 2019 New Catalogue Open House

Fun and games, stamping and chatting, snacking and ‘coffeeing’ and of course seeing some new products and comparing notes about the catalogue – that was what the day was all about.
Using the new In Colours we created a bookmark and then stamped a card with the Good Morning Magnolia set.

A rose and two very masculine cards were the cards for this month. The rose was a new technique as we stamped and embossed on designer paper using just a die. Something a little different to expand the use of your dies. Then we had to fussy cut it so it took a little longer to create.

The other 2 cards went together a little quicker. They all used a little DSP – loving it and chopping it!

In other words make a card using DSP and actually mail it to someone! Novel idea!!
We talked about Kylie Bertucci’s idea of chopping up designer paper into usable sizes as soon as it arrived in our stamping room instead of just lovingly gazing at the 12x12 sheets. Then we proceeded to make some cards with those chopped up pieces and use the paper in a few different ways. This included an origami shirt (as Father’s Day is coming up) and an envelope made just by folding the DSP.

Roses and daisies and deer – suitable for any occasion with one especially masculine one. The rose was die cut and coloured with sponge daubers. It's the card that took the most time with embossing, die cutting and colouring, but I think it turned out pretty nice!
The daisies are just pretty and soon to disappear as they are retiring. The deer are from an old set, ‘In the Meadow’, but a great masculine one.

Perhaps a wedding card, perhaps a Father’s Day card and perhaps a thinking of you card. Or it could be grad, birthday and haven’t talked in a while cards. That’s the fun of cardmaking… change the sentiment and it’s a brand new card!
We were die cutting, embossing, masking and sponging with great results…
