The "pot" for the flower is punched using a Christmas ornament punch.  Cutting the bottom off makes a cute little pot I think . . . . . .

This is another card for the month we had "folds" as a theme for swap.  I found the pattern for and folded these little oragami dresses.  14 cards . . . 28 dresses, in different colors . . . . 

I love these whimsical little flowers.  I've been seeing cards with white gel pens and wanted to try it.  This is the result.

There is something about trees that I really like . . . .

I was goofing around with a Christmas theme for this one.  This reminds me of a sculpture from where I used to live on the "Great Salt Lake"!!

A very clean and simple card.

Another, "just because" card . . . . Got some new stamps and wanted to try them out.  I embossed the black on this one so the colors wouldn't run together.

Another "black magic" card . . . . .LOVE IT!

I've been looking at the "black magic" technic for a while, and when I saw this stamp I thought it'd be fun to try it.  You stamp a white image onto a black piece of paper and then use watercolor pencils to color and shade.  It looks better in person. . . . . . .

The swap theme for this card was "folds."  I folded this "triangle" fold card . . . . turned out pretty fun.

I made this one using some hostess stamps that I got and an old background stamp (the leaves).  I used a pear color . . . . . and a layout challenge from split coast stampers.

This was a "just for fun" card. . . . I tried some paper piercing and used Crystal Effects in the middle of the flowers.

I get sooooooo behind on posting card clubs cards that I've decided to catch up by just posting my cards . . . . because that is what I have time for!

The theme we chose for this month was "marine life." I have very few stamps that fit into that category and so I fashioned this crab and just printed out a sentiment. I liked how it turned out!

Card by Kiersten.  She brayed on the color for the background and then dry embossed the paper.  The tag has silver embossing.  A pretty card.

Card by Terri.  This stamp set brings back memories.  It is the stamp set that was used in my very first stampin up workshop that I attended.  I remember loving how my card turned out.  This stamp set is a classic!
