Terri's challenge, June stamp club.

Well our first summe meeting of stamp club was a wonderful success. We met for lunch this time (we usually do nights) and Terri challenged us all to create a card from the same supplies. We could add or use the supplies in anyway and any theme or sentiment. I loved what happened. 

These first three cards were our make and takes and a make-up card from our vintage theme. 
This card has a thin piece of velum on the cover. We stamped the back ground and then used Stazon black ink to stamp the bird and sentiment. 
This one has a 80's vibe to it. It has a shaker window with cute heart confetti. 

Kim brought this make-up card from our vintage themed meeting. 
Ok here starts Terri's stars challenge. 









This is Terri's she wouldn't let us vote on hers. 



The one card the most of us votes on was Monica's flamingo card. 

Punched glitter flowers.

So by now you are familure with my paper flower obsession. I was so excited to show these glitter flowers that I didn't take a picture of the tag I put them on. I only took close ups of the flowers, duh! 






Teacher Appreciation

I made several gifts for teacher appreciation but I could only find these tags for the flower jars for day one of teacher appreciation week. 

March Stamp Club


I found this unfinished post of my March Vintage card. I guess I thought it needed its own post. Enjoy the close ups. 😊

End of School gifts

Lindsay gave these it to us Terps on the last day of school. How clever. 
I loaded the kids up on sugar for their last day of school. Of course I waited till they were leaving for the day so they got hyped up at home.  
On a side note the last table group that sat near me named themselves my minions and one student brought each of us a minion candy holder. 

March Stamp Club

Michele was our hostess and our theme was vintage. Michele created this lovely magnet from a mouse trap. She found a pattern on line how to dismantle certain parts. 
It is simply gorgeous, she is highly skilled and loves to think "outta the box".
Sauni came up with this vintage typewriter card.

I love the way she colored the typewriter with a light gray. She made the base card using the Stampin up envelope punch. 
Michelle created this monochromatic floral card, it is so elegant. 

Kim went with a tea time theme for her vintage card. 
 
Carey brought this doilley delight. She inked the doilley to give it that old fashioned look. 
Monica layered all these pretty pastels and backed the rose cut with a foil square, what a wonderful technique. 
Terri went with this vintage travel card what a great design 
This fresh and cheery card was done by Chris. I love the cherry motif. 
Chris also gave each of us a little surprise. 

The cherries were delishous and each one was on an antique glass dish, so thoughtful.
This is my contribution. I struggled a little with the idea. I knew I wanted to do something different with the paper so I decided on gate fold card with a postcard insert. 
On the back I added a faux stamp 

This was our make and take that Michele had for us. I love all the little details. 
Terri had a terrific make and take as well. We pieced all these embellishments together and created this creative layered card. Check out the green glitter ribbon. 
As always my photo stylist was here to help. 
She can be quite the camera hog. Check out that pose.
