Snow Flurry in Blue

November Stamp Club Card

 At our November stamp club workshop0, we tried a new technique called Colour Blocking.  The card is simple but has the "wow" factor, I hope.  Since we made this card, I found some great samples online.  Take a look at these cards if you would like to be inspired:  Card by Beate and Card by Maile Belles.

Fill entire piece of 4 x 4 Whisper White card stock with adhesive.

Stamp sentiment on Whisper White card stock.

Round corners of card stock.

Greetings of the Season

October Stamp Club Card

This card has a lot of steps to complete but most are fairly straight forward just by looking at the card.  To make the Fan Fold Flower you can view a TUTORIAL HERE.  For this "flower",  I cut a strip of DSP at 1" x 11" and then scored every 1/4".  The measurements are different on the tutorial.  We stuck the flower on a punched out circle with sticky tape on it.  You can also place it on a jumbo sticky round.  Have I told you that I love those things?!?!  :)

Supplies:
 

Stamps:  Greetings of the Season, Ornament Keepsakes, Ex Libris

Paper:  Very Vanilla, Candlelight Christmas DSP,

Ink:  Real Red, Wild Wasabi

Accessories:  Gumball Green Ribbon, Victoria Crochet Trim, Real Red Button, Baker’s Twine, ¾” Circle Punch, 1” Circle Punch, Vintage Faceted Buttons, Scoring Tool, Sticky Tape, Glue Dots, Pearls, Label Framelits, Festive Paper Piercing Pack, Piercing Tool, Sponge, Edge Distresser

Wish Big

 October Stamp Club Card

On this card, we used the new Core'dinations card stock in Early Espresso.  The card stock was run through the Big Shot with the Framed Tulips Embossing Folder and then sanded slightly with the Sanding Block.

If you want to make this a "male" card, all you would need to do is wrap the ribbon around the main image rather than tying it into a knot.  If you want to be really picky.  Sometimes men need a little bit of a bow, don't you think?  :)

Supplies:

Stamps: Word Play

Paper:  Early Espresso Core’dinations, Comfort Café DSP, Naturals Ivory, Midnight Muse, Crumb Cake

Ink:  Midnight Muse, Pool Party

Accessories:  Midnight Muse Ribbon, Sand Block, Dimensionals, Framed Tulips Embossing Folder, BigShot

Coiled Fabric Flower

October Stamp Club Card

Here is the first card we made at our October Stamp Club workshop.  You can find the jumbo mini rounds we used to adhere the fabric flower in the Holiday Catalogue.  Love these things so much I will order a couple of packages the next time.  :)

We tried out a new technique on this card:  Coiled Fabric Flower

Tip:  Tuck the end of the fabric onto the underside of the sticky round.  You will have to peel away the orange plastic a bit so that you can place it on the sticky part.
