This card was CASED from fellow Stampin' Up! Demonstrator Donna Neamon from Arcade, NY.  Thanks for the inspiration, Donna.  I look forward to attending your events again in the future.

 

Hopefully when May approaches, I will have my act together and be able to post the descriptions, techniques, and supplies used as I usually do.  I'm looking forward to seeing everyone on April 2 and 10.  Hope you all had a blessed Easter.

 

Card Clubs - March 5 & 13, 2013

These are the cards we will be making at the March card clubs on March 5 & 13, 2013:

This card was made using the I Dig You stamp set.  The base card is Real Red cardstock topped with a piece of Whisper White that has been embossed with the new Cloudy Day embossing folder.  I used a colored pencil and blender pen to make the blue background around the clouds.  The sentiment, truck, and back hoe were stamped with Real Red and Basic Black ink on Whisper White cardstock.  The Real Red cardstock behind the sentiment was punched with the Modern Label punch.  The mounds of dirt were made with Chocolate Chip cardstock.

 

This card was made using the Sale-a-bration Vintage Verses and Papillon Potpourri stamp sets.  The base card is Pacific Point cardstock  topped with a piece of Whisper White that has lots of pretty swirls which were created by laying the Whisper White cardstock in a concoction of shaving cream and drops of ink.  I'm looking forward to trying this technique with everyone.  The sentiment in the center and the butterfly were both stamped with Pacific Point ink on Whisper White.  I also sponged some Regal Rose around the sentiment after cutting it out with the Labels Collection Framelits.  The Regal Rose butterflies were punched with tthe Elegant Butterfly punch and the new Bitty Butterfly punch.

 

This card was made with the new Swallowtail stamp.  The base card is Daffodil Delight cardstock topped with Pumpkin Pie cardstock which has been embossed with the new Honeycomb embossing folder.  The butterfly was stamped on Whisper White cardstock with Versamark ink and embossed with Early Espresso embossing powder.  I colored it in with Daffodil Delight and Pumpkin Pie markers.  The sentiment at the top was stamped with Pumpkin Pie on Whisper White and punched out with the Word Window punch, and the Early Espresso background was punched with the Modern Label punch.  The little butterfly on the bottom was punched out with the new Bitty Butterfly punch.

 

 

Card Clubs - February 12 & 13, 2013

Below are the cards we will make in the February 12 & 13 card clubs at my house:

This card was inspired by Amy on Splitcoaststampers, and Amy's blog can be seen at www.stampwithAmyK.com.  It uses the Sizzlits S Die and Wishes Your Way stamp set which are both from the new spring catalog.  The base card uses Old Olive cardstock which has been topped with Daffodil Delight embossed with the Chevron embossing folder.  The squares were punched using the 1-1/4" and 1-3/8" square punches in Whisper White, Tangerine Tango, and Marina Mist.  I cut designer series paper witth the S D to create the whirly-gigs, and secured them with a brad.

 

 

This card was made using the Stylin' Snowfolk stamp set.  The base card uses Real Red cardstock topped with Bashful Blue cardstock which has been embossed with the Northern Flury embossing folder.  I stamped the snowpeople using Basic Black ink on Whisper White paper.  Prior to adding the accessories other than the face which I stamped directly on the snowpeople, I added glue and sprinked with Dazzling Diamonds glitter.  The accessories were made by stamping Basic Black, Real Red, and Pumpkin Pie on Whisper White.  The little heart at the top is Real Red cardstock punched with the mini heart punch.

 

 

This card was made using the Secret Garden stamp set and coordinating framelits along with the Easter Blessings stamp set.  The base card uses Regal Rose cardstock topped with a piece of Whisper White.  I stamped the Easter Blessings on the Whisper White with the Rose Red ink, and I also sponged a little of the Rose Red ink around the outside of the Whisper White cardstock.  The leaves were made using the framelits and Old Olive cardstock.  The flowers were made by stamping Basic Black on Rose Red, and Rose Red on Regal Rose cardstock, and then they were all cut out using the framelits.

 

 

Card Clubs - January 1, 8, & 9, 2013

Hope everyone has a wonderful Christmas and a blessed year ahead.  Below are the cards that we will be making in the January card club:

This card was inspired by Janet Yates, and her blog can be seen at www.stampinnerd.blogspot.com.  It uses the Serene Silhouettes and Petite Paris stamp sets.  The base card uses Daffodil Delight card stock.  I used the Top Note die to cut out a piece of Black and So Saffron card stock.  Using a brayer and sponge, I coated the So Saffron piece with Daffodil Delight, Pumpking Pie, and Tangerine Tango ink, and then stamped the image in Basic Black and sponged a little black beneath that.  The bufferflies were made with the Butterfly embosslit folder in Daffodil Delight and Basic Black card stock. The bottom sentiment was stamped with Basic Black on Daffodil Delight and punched with the oval scallop punch and backed with a piece of Basic Black punched with an oval punch.

 

 

 

This card was made using the Blooming with Kindness and Petite Pairs stamp sets.  I saw many very similar cards using this same technique so I can't really say that this card was inspired by any one person.   The base card and all framing pieces were made using Real Red Card Stock, and the other card stock is Very Vanilla.  I placed the three pieces of Very Vanilla card stock on top of each other, and then sporadically stamped the image using Real Red ink.  After stamping, I adhered the Real Red card stock to each piece and just glued them to each other.  The bottom sentiment was made in a similar fashion and punched with the oval scallop and small oval punch.

 

 

 

Hopefully everyone has received the new spring catalog.  This card was made using a new set out of that catalog, the Hearts a Flutter stamp set and coordinating frametlit set.  The base card is Melon Mambo topped with a piece of Pretty in Pink that was embossed with the Vintage Wallpaper embossing folder.  The Melon Mambo paper behind the heart images was cut out using the Delicate Doilies Sizzlits.  The hearts were stamped using Melon Mambo ink on Whisper White paper and cut out with the framelits.  The bottom sentiment was made using the Layered Labels stamp set and coordinating framelits.

 

These cards will conclude our current card clubs, and I am currently signing up people to join one of two cards clubs that will be held at my house.  If you are interested in joining, please let me know.  Thank you.

Cards Clubs - November 6, 13 & 14, 2012

These are the cards we will be making at my November card clubs:

 

The design for these cards was inspiried by Lynn Weiss, and her blog can be found at www.lwdesigns.blogspot.com.  Both cards use the Two by Two stamp which has been inked with Night of Navy ink and stamped on Whisper White card stock, and then cut out with the Labels Collection Framelits.  I used the colored pencils and blender pens to color in the picture.   The base cards  and piece behind the stamped image were done in Bashful Blue and Pretty in Pink.  The Bashful Blue was topped with a piece of Night of Navy, and the Pretty in Pink was topped with Melon Mambo both of  which were embossed with the Chevron embossing folder.  I used the Raspberry Ripple 3/8" stitched satin ribbon on the blue card, and the Gumball Green 3/8" stitched satin ribbon on the pink card.  The little baby tag on the bottom right of the card was made using the Tiny Tags stamp set and coordinating punch.

 

 

These cards were made using the Evergreen stamp set.  The base cards are River Rock and Wild Wasbi.  The River Rock card has been topped with a piece of Elegant Eggplant, and the Wild Wasbi card has been topped with a piece of Certainly Celery both of which have been embossed with Petals-a-Plenty embossing folder. On the River Rock/Elegant Eggplant card the Christmas tree outline has been stamped with Elegant Eggplant on Wisteria Wonder paper, and the Silent Night words have been embossed in gold on top.  I also sponged around the Wisteria Wonder paper with Elegant Eggplant.  On the Wild Wasbi/Certainly Celery card the filled-in treee image was stamped with Certainly Celery on Whisper White, and the  tree outline was stamped over the top with Wild Wasbi.  The sentiment at the bottom comes from the Teeny Tiny Wishes stamp set which was punched with the Word Window punch, and outlined with a piece of Wild Wasbi which was punched with the Modern Label punch.  I sponged around the outside of the Whisper White paper with Wild Wasbi ink.

 

This card was made with the Joyous Celebrations and Merry Minis stamp sets and Holiday Frame embossing folder.  The base card is Real Red, and the Holiday Frame was made with Garden Green card stock.  The "Joy" was stamped with Real Red ink on Whisper White paper,and I also sponged around the Whisper White with the Real Red.  There is silver glitter paper which has been punched with the Oval Scallop, and behind that is a piece of red glitter paper which has been punched with the Large Oval punch.  The snowflake at the bottom was made with silver glitter paper and the snowflake sizzlit.  The little Christmas tree at the bottom was stamped with Garden Green on Whisper White and cut out with the coordinating pucnh.  The card was topped off with a little silver bow. 

 

If anyone not in one of the clubs would like to make these cards, I have room at my house on November 14.  The cost is $10, and I supply all of the material except adhesive.
