April Stamp Club

Well, April Stamp club came upon me quite quickly.  I had to use a tool or stamp that I had not used much or yet.  I picked my fringe scissors and made these rolled flowers. The flowers were simple to make. I cut strips of 12 x 12 paper (about an inch and a half wide).  I used the fringe scissors to cut the "petals" into the strips and then using some needle point scissors I rolled the strips up.  I glued them shut.  I took some floral wire cut them 2-3 inches long and hot glued the flower on top.  I built the basket from some kraft paper (I'll make a photo tutorial soon). Into the bottom of the basket I hot glued some styrofoam rectangles and stuck the flowers inside.  I covered the foam with easter grass and added some chocolate eggs. It turned out pretty cute.

Terri our wonderful Stampin Up "dealer" prepared these awesome frames for us to make.  She came up with this incredible display for spring.  We used temporary adhesive so we can change out the paper with each holiday.  I love what she did here.

What a beautiful use of the embossing folders. I love the cross and purple is my favorite color.

I love all the layering in this card. I struggle with piecing the right patterns together.  This is so fun, the sentiment can be used for so many things.

What a whimsical and fun card is this. Punched art is perfect for a child's card.  I love finding alternate uses for punches. It makes their purchase much easier to justify, lol.

I am loving these colors,  the embossing adds just the right touch to this card. I just love the texture this has.

This card just feels right, the balance and colors are so bright and fun. I know anyone would love getting this in the mail. This welcomes spring with just the right touch.

Wahsi tape is my new best friend, I don't pass up the opportunity to add to my collection. The layers on this card and colors are so fresh. These cards are going to be hard to part with.

These cute postcards are so cleaver.  The speech bubbles are very in the now and I love how clean they look. I hope you enjoyed your visits and next month we will be making masculine cards.  The search for inspiration starts.  See you soon.
