June Stamp Club

It feels like a long te since my last stamp club post. School is out for summer and us Stampin ladies are in full swing. We have another challenge for July and we are looking forward to a creative summer. 

June stamp challenge was get well cards. As you will see we all had unique ideas and came up with beautiful cards. 

Michele was our hostess this was her make-and-take. 

Terri showed is some of the new stamps from the Stampin-Up! catalog with her make-and-take. 

Here is Monica's card. 

Chris made a trifold card that is decorated on both sides. 

Terri created this one and is trying to stamp the insides of her cards. I seem to overlook my insides, so I am going to try to do better too. 

Kim created this beauty. 

Carey used these fresh and fun colors. 

I like Cindi's sun card it is so clean and crisp. 

She also made this gift card holder. I love all her fun folds. She loves to surf the web to get her juices flowing. 

This is my contribution.  I saw a similar card on Pinterest and wanted to give it a try. 

Jene made us this beautiful banner for the 4 th. That is all for now, hope you enjoyed our cards. 

Birthday card for a tween

As per my M. O. I needed a quick card for a birthday for my son. These days I seem to be only purchasing gift cards for the young men birthdays. I want a special card since that is all they are opening. Here is a picture tutorial of what I came up with. If you look closely at the candles you will notice that they look exactly like the ones from my card in a box. They are, I had several leftover. That made the card even quicker to make.

Student teachers gifts.

We had to say good bye to the student teachers that were in out class this semester. I don't work too closely with them but since I am in the class everyday, we get to know one another. I wanted to get them a little something to wish them well. This is what I came up with. I found these wine glasses that said cheers and such around the glass.  I constructed these tags and tied them to fit around the rim. 

I filled the glasses with red tinsel, junior mints and topped them off with graduation bubbles. 

I wrote a personal note to each on the back of the tag and that was it. Easy peasy - Cyn \|"/

Assortment of cards

It seems like I have been so busy stamping this weekend but actually I have been sitting on 4 posts.  I take the photos as I go and then save them to add the text later.  I finally got around to completing the posts. 

For this card I took photos as I assembled the card to show the simple steps. 

The only part I didn't show is  I used glue dots to keep two of the pennants down in each row. It was the only way I could keep them from sticking up or hanging at a weird angle. 

I finally took some time to create just to create. No challenge or time crunch. It has been a while and I loved the freedom. 

I broke out my washi tape stash and put together these two cards. 

Inside the card. 

Here's my stash of tapes. 

I love the punch and stamp bundles. 

I am trying to take the creating to the inside of the card as well. 

I copied this fold from this months Card Makers magazine. I added a matching envelope and tag.
