July Club Projects

Here is part of what the Stamping Stampede will be making next week for Stamp Club.

This is a set of 3x3 cards made with the the Recess set from the Summer Mini. I got the idea from Kirsteen Gill from the Stampin' Up! demo site. I personalized it some and added the background stamp to step-it up a little.

These images are soooo cute! There's a little girl with a hula hoop, a boy with a jump rope and another one with a swing. There's also a girl sliding down a slide.

I will post more pix of the other projects as I get them finished.

Have a great day!

Club Members' June Project Exchange

Here are some project exchange cards that members of the Stamping Stampede made last month. I know better than to wait this long to post them, but I didn't get it done right away and now I can't remember who made a couple of the cards!! If you can help me out with who made what leave me a message here.

Our theme was a "Two-fer", make two cards to exchange instead of just one.


I think that Rhea made these two small cupcake cards. I really like the background circle of DSP, shows that a small detail can make a big impact. Cute!


These I believe Sharon made with the same cupcake punch. Again, the DSP strip in the background makes these cards really cute!

Stephanie made these cards with the new Four Frames stamp set from Stampin' Up! She also made matching magnets for everyone - they were really cute - just like the frames on the cards.

I'm thinking that LaReatha made these two fun cards with flowers. Both have a 3-D flower that made these cards 'pop'.

These two baby cards were made by Kalie, one for a girl and one for a boy. We didn't know that she would make an announcement later that evening that she and her husband are expecting their second child! How exciting! Congrats Kalie!!

Butterfly Easels!

These butterflies are fluttering all over Splitcoast Stampers and related blogs lately! I made a whole plate of them!

They are pretty easy - just cut a large butterfly on the fold for the easel using the butterfly die cut for the Big Shot. Then attach the two butterflies in the front and you are done!

Club Project Wedding!

These are the 3 wedding cards we will be making on Monday night.

Love Birds....

The DSP on this card is Elegant Filagree that's retiring : (

A Wedding Cake! This one uses the Elegant Lines Embossing folder for the Big Shot and the new triple punch for the cake top.

See the 'frosting' between the layers? I used a thin strip of cardstock and ran it through the crimper for a finished look. This card idea came from Linda A's blog 'polkadots and petals', although I did change a few things.

Super simple card but very classy.

You may remember this card from last fall. I made this for my brother's wedding and really liked it, it's very elegant (and cased right out of the catalog!). The "happy I do day' has a jewl and is heat embossed for a shiny finish - but it's difficult to see in this photo.

Club Members - I will see you on Monday!

Graduation and Teacher Gifts

This is a 5th grade graduation card that I made for some friends of ours' daughter. (sorry the picture is blurry - I'm not sure if my new camera is a dud or if it's me : ) This card uses the owl punch and Melon Mambo polka dot DSP. I had to make it girly-looking!

Another blurry picture but you have to see the matching envy!

And the gift - I made a juice pouch bag and put a pair of flip flops inside.

These are the juice pouch bags I made for my sons' teachers and student teachers. Whew! Now I need to make a couple more - one for me and one for Sam.

I'm liking the Kool-Aid JAmmers better than Capri Sun for these right now because of the graphics and bold letters. Fun!

Card Buffet Items

Here is a collection of some of the items that I am offering at the Card Buffet on Sunday, May 15th.

The vanilla card was made with an embossing folder and flower die cut for the Big Shot. I had previously posted a picture of the Pumpkin Pie card so scroll down if you want more info on that one.

This card features the new Strength and Hope stamp set. That butterfly is AWESOME - very detailed! All cards include the envelope which can be stamped too!!

Not all items are cards. Here is a cute little purse that is the perfect size for a small candy bar, chapstick, etc. It's made from just a 6x6 piece of DSP, so it's little but VERY cute!

Hope you like what you see!

Remember that mini scrapbook I posted a while back? Well, I decided to make a card to match it and use it for a Mother's Day gift. With a few photos inside I think it will make a nice gift for someone special. The cardstock is So Saffron and the DSP is Play Date.

Those of you that attended Stamp Club at Rhea's made the flowers and vase below. The flowers are from the Fun Flowers die cut for the Big Shot and the vase is made with the Petal Cone die. I used Daffodil Delight and Poppy Parade cardstock.

The cards are a couple I just made 'for the fun of it'. The large card features the new triple punch that gives you 3 choices to choose from in one punch. Both cards use the stamp set Bold Blossoms from Stampin' Up!
