April Card Club

I always look forward to card club!  Here is the project we did this month.  It is a braying project.  Braying is very tough for me but I've alway's been intrigued by it.  This was a fun card for me to do.

Our Theme for the month was "Masculine."  This is my card below. 

This is Jane's Card:

LeeAnn's Card:

Terri's Card:

Kiersten's card: 

Renee's Card:

Bobbie's card:

Jocelyn's card:

Bobbie's make-up card - - "spring"

Next month's theme:  "Stars"

Goofing around

Next month's card swap theme is "masculine." Here is some of the stuff I've come up with . . . . Masculine cards are my nemesis! With all the Cricut Expression machine madness (which I AM NOT the proud owner of yet) there are some GREAT sales on Sizzix die cuts. I got 2 sets of alphabets for my Cuddlebug for cheap!!! Might as well use what I have, right? Gluing these little letters on was quite a feat . . . . I'm looking forward to receiving my new glue pen I ordered this time around. My husband loves funny cards. I had to pick up a stamp set with some funny sayings on it!

Light houses are masculine, are they not?????

Outdoorsy . . . . . masculine????? hmmmmmm.

March Stamp Club

This month for our stamp club exchange the theme was "Spring." We came up with some cute cards I think!

Jane (our newest member!)

Kiersten

Salena

LeeAnn

Jocelyn

Roz

and last but certainly not least . . . . Terri

Stamp Camp

Here are some cards that I made at a stampin camp I went to with some friends of mine . . . . .

On the above card, we used a stamp set from the mini catalog which is expiring this month. I didn't even take a second glance at the set thinking I wouldn't like it. This is a cute card though. I'm taking a second glance now!

And this new punch set was fun to use also.

Above is a Stampin Up die cut set.

I like this tree!

Stampin' Storm

Since becoming a Stampin' Up! demonstrator, I have gotten a lot of new stamps. I've been itching to try them! While waiting for this next snow storm to come through I decided to dabble a little with my new stuff. I'm a little disgusted with my scanner (cards just don't look as nice as they do in person) so I thought I'd take pictures with the camera and post them . . . BUT . . . I'm going to have to learn how to take good pictures, because the REAL color below is a nice vibrant pink color. . . . (If any of you have tips to take better pictures, let me know!) Oh well! I still like the outcome . . . .

The hearts on the tree "pop-up" . . . . I've had this set a while . . . . but the punched border is new!

Fun!!!

February Card Club

This month I demonstrated the "faux metal" technic. Click the link for instructions. I don't really like how this scanned . . . but OH WELL! This is a fun technic to play around with! The trees below use this technic with silver and clear embossing powder.
Another "faux metal" card I made. . . . .

The theme for the exchange this month was "circles."

Here is my card. It is a gift card holder. (masculine!) You can see the "faux metal" for the pom pom on top of the beeny hat.

Here is another beeny hat gift card holder that I made.

Flipped open with the gift card in it . . . . .

Jocelyn's card: Terri's card:

Salena's card . . . . it has much more shimmer than shows up in this scan. . . .

Kiersten's card:

LeeAnn's Card - scan does not do it justice!

Roz's Card . . . . she stamped this on glossy paper . . . .

And last but not least, Bobbie's card:

January Card Club

Oh MY!!!! I've gone CRAZY! I took over the responsiblity of demonstrating at card club . . . . . in other words, I am now a Stampin up! distributor. Fresh and new . . . . haven't even recieved the kit yet, which I'm waiting on pins and needles for. I can't believe it, but it has been so fun for me. I loved coming up with ideas for the club this month, and my mind is full of ideas for next month. Where to begin!!!!!???? I even dreamt cards last night, and I needed sleep after a 2 hour dentist appointment that was a killer and drained all of my energy away . . . . (jaw still hurts).

Any who . . . . . There were some awesome cards made by some awesome ladies, we had 8 come to the first card club, and hopefully they and more will keep coming . . . . .

This was the card I demonstrated. It is a shaker card. Do you see the heart and buttons, there is a thin plastic pop-up layer here, and you "shake" the card and the hearts and buttons are free to move around. We used heat and stick powder and glitter for the "frame" of the shaker, and an unmentionable product to make the dry embossing on the background. The theme for this month was Love or Valentines day . . . . ..


I also made this card, it was the "card exchange" card. We all make several cards to exchange with each other.

I was so happy to see Bobby again at stamp club, here is her "cute as a bug" card. Yes!, the pun was intended!

Renee's very creative and full of "bling" card.

Jocelyn's card, they are all wonderful, are they not?
LeeAnn's

Terri's
Roz's

Salena's

Next month . . . . . LeeAnn's house . . . . first Tuesday of the month . . . . . 7:30. I have new guidelines for the club that are more "inclusive."I put some thought into them, if you are interested let me know . . . . . ROZ was a great hostess, and earned quite a few free goodies! Sale-a-bration months are great!
