Everything Eleanor

June Stamp Club Card

This is the second card we made at our stamp club workshop.  I found THIS CARD on Pinterest that I really liked and had to CASE it.  Just changed the colours and switched up some of the accessories.

I used Stampin' Up!'s new Pressed Clay and Mold.  Very fun to use.  I found that it takes about a day to dry.  After a significant amount of drying time, the flowers were firm enough to handle and not get deformed.  To make the Pool Party flower, I added a few drops of reinker into a plastic bag and squished it around with the clay.  Using plastic gloves might be a better way of doing this, but unfortunately I don't have any.  The yellow flowers were created by just sponging the molded flowers with Daffodil Delight ink.

Supplies:

Stamps:  Everything Eleanor, Loving Thoughts, French Foliage (retired)
Paper:  Whisper White, Daffodil Delight, Pool Party, Pool Party Coordinations, Crumb Cake
Ink:  Crumb Cake,  Pool Party, Daffodil Delight
Accessories:  Little Leaves Sizzlet, Edge Distresser, Honeycomb Embossing Folder, Sanding Block, Simply Pressed Clay, Blossoms Simply Pressed Mold, Dimensionals, Glue Dots

Wonderful Wildflower Meadow

June Stamp Club Card

I am sorry that you cannot see some of the details on the card.  The camera seems to have a hard time taking a picture of so much white plus the photographer isn't so skilled to figure out what can be done to correct it.  :(  What you cannot see is that the Wildflower Meadow background stamp was stamped in VersaMark and them embossed with Clear Embossing Powder.  The matching embossing folder was used to raise the stamped image.   Next, colour the one flower with markers, stamp again and cut out. 

I am not sure to whom I'm supposed to give credit for this card idea since you can find a bunch of designs like this one on Splitcoaststampers.

Supplies:

Stamps:  Wildflower Meadow
Paper:  Wisteria Wonder, Whisper White
Ink:  Garden Green and Wisteria Wonder Markers, Versamark
Accessories:  Clear Embossing Powder, Wisteria Wonder Ribbon, Dimensionals, Wildflower Meadow Embossing Folder, Edge Distresser

Wildflower Meadow

CAS(E) this Sketch #30

On the weekend I was able to find some time to stamp and pulled out the new Stampin' Up background stamp, Wildflower Meadow.  I also used the new DSP and washi tape (love that stuff).  I happened upon the Thursday sketch challenge (CAS(E) this Sketch) and was able to make two cards.  You can find the second card HERE or just scroll down.

For the main panel, I coloured the flowers with Pink Pirouette marker and then over top of that with the Melon Mambo marker leaving the edges pink.  I used the Old Olive marker for the stem and leaves.

You can find the sketch and more wonderful examples HERE.

Supplies:

Stamps:  Wildflower Meadow, Create a Cupcake (happy birthday)
Paper:  Gingham Garden DSP, Melon Mambo, Whisper White, Old Olive
Ink:  Melon Mambo, Melon Mambo, Old Olive and Pink Pirouette Markers
Accessories:  Gingham Garden Washi Tape

My Friend

CAS(E) this Sketch #30

This is one of the cards I made using the sketch challenge found HERE.  The first card I made using this challenge can be found HERE.  Two completely different styles but of course I had to use the new washi tape again.

By the way, to make the circle embellishments, I just put a piece of washi tape down on Whisper White card stock and punched it out using the 1/2" circle punch.  The "flower" washi tape was too narrow, so I carefully taped two pieces side by side and then punched.

Supplies:  

Stamps:  My Friend
Paper:  Whisper White, Daffodil Delight, Midnight Muse
Ink:  Midnight Muse, Daffodil Delight
Accessories:  Gingham Garden Washi Tape, 1/2" Circle Punch

Epic Herringbone

 May Stamp Club Card

Here is the final card we made at our stamp club workshop in May. The Herringbone Technique is a great way to use up any leftover strips of designer series paper you may have lying around.  I will definitely be trying this again in the near future.

You can find a tutorial for the Herringbone Technique on Splitcoaststampers.  

The instructions indicate that you need to use a Xyron to add adhesive to the card stock on which you will be adding your strips of paper.  I did not.  I used a regular tape runner but made sure I covered the entire piece of card stock with the adhesive.  No little parts of un-stickiness left uncovered.  :)

Supplies:

Stamps:  Word Play
Paper:  This and That Epic Day DSP, Whisper White, Early Espresso
Ink:  Baja Breeze, Garden Green and Early Espresso Markers, Sahara Sand
Accessories:  Label Framelits, Sponge Dauber, Dimesionals, Glue Dots, White Button, Brad, Gumball Green Ribbon

Artistic Etchings

May Stamp Club Card

Triple Stamping Technique

You can find a great tutorial on the Triple Stamping Technique on Splitcoaststampers.  I followed these instructions using the Artistic Etchings stamp set and the Very Vintage Jumbo Wheel to make my card.  

Converting the Wheel to a Clear Mount Stamp

By the way, I don't actually use Very Vintage in it's "wheel form" anymore.  I have taken it off the wheel and use it as a background stamp.  Once again, Stampin' Pretty has a great tutorial on how to take your stamp off the wheel.  Just click HERE. 

Supplies:

Stamps:  Artistic Etchings, Very Vintage Jumbo Wheel
Paper:  Early Espress, Calypso Coral, Whisper White,
Ink:  Crumb Cake, Calypso Coral, Early Espresso
Accessories:  Natural Ribbon, Early Espresso 1/8" Ribbon, Calypso Coral Baker's Twine, Button, Glue Dots, Dimensionals
