April Club Projects

Origami Box:

video tutorial found HERE

for the box with the band (11"X2") and ribbon
(2 pieces of ribbon @ 12" each) 

across the top, I scored the chocolate chip card at 

1-3/8, 3-1/2, 7-5/8 & 9-3/4

for the box with the flower on top, I took 6 scallop
circles to make the carnation, 

layering and fixing with a brad in the center &

adhering with a large glue dot.

Easel Card:

This card was a little time consuming to figure out how
to put it together BUT I do LOVE how it turned out!!

I took a sheet of 12X12 and cut it into 3 strips of 12"X4", which makes 3 easel cards

score the white card stock at 4", 6" & 8"

fold center fold and then outer folds opposite

place sticky strip (a MUST have for this card)

inside on inner fold of a 2" section and viola! 

Happy Birthday Circle Card:

I had a definite CIRCLE theme going on with
this card...the background which was cut out with
the TOP NOTE, I first layered onto a piece of scrap paper 1/2" 

strips of melon mambo, rich razzleberry & crushed curry

January Club Projects

Owl-ways be yours (idea and template found HERE)

This was just too cute NOT to make and after cutting out the template on a piece of cardboard, was a breeze to put together. I used retired Hand Drawn DSP, Regal Rose, Pumpkin Pie & Whisper White. The eyes were made with the scallop circle, 1-1/4" circle & 1" circle punches. The beak was made with the large Photo Corner punch. I also added a heart from the Heart to Heart Punch.
 You can pop a pencil, pixi stick, candy cane, etc. in the little slits at the bottom.

Heart Candy Holder (idea found HERE)

I just watched a video on how to make these faux leather flowers, so I wanted to give it a whirl...pink and red are not my two favorite colors to put together but hey, Valentine's Day is just around the corner and we're going to have explosions of pink and red soon! I used Real Red, Pretty in Pink & Old Olive card stock. 3/4" Polka-Dot Real Red Grosgrain Ribbon, although I used the non polka side. The 1-3/4" & 1-1/4" Circle punches for the flower. SU! Little Leaves Sizzlits die & Petal Card Bigz die. Everything was fastened together with sticky strip (I LOVE that stuff) and silver brads. Fill with your favorite candy and hang on your neighbors door or leave love notes for your teen or hubby! The possibilities are ENDLESS!!

Bouquet of Hearts (idea found HERE)

I switched the color scheme up a bit, using Blush Blossom as my card base and retired Candy Lane DSP for the hearts. The Happy V-Day stamp is from Happy Hearts Day and I inked it up with a Real Red & Close To Cocoa Stampin' Write Marker.  Also used Kraft taffeta ribbon along the vase (which is the Ornament Punch).

I've wanted to make a shaker card since Regionals and I FINALLY tackled that this month with the following card. Using Regal Rose as my base and Taken With Teal, this masterpiece was born, isn't the glitter FABULOUS?! and I LOVE the hidden message inside the little treat cup too. I used a clear rhinestone brad for a little bling on the basket. The weights are pinked up with Fine Supernova, PINK, Stampin' Glitter and the inside of the treat cup (my shaker) is filled with Light Pink, Chunky Sprinkles, Stampin' Glitter. Also used Regal Rose 5/8" Grosgrain ribbon, the scallop edge, 1-3/4" circle, word window & modern label punches. The heart hot air balloon is from Sweet Centers, while the Happy V-Day phrase was taken from Teeny Tiny Wishes.

December Club Projects

Patty Bennett had this WONDERFUL creation on her blog, so I thought I'd give it a try.

and here's another card I cased from Patty Bennett, she seems to be my new inspiration this month

and yet another! I just can't seem to STOP, hehe... Patty Bennett, you ROCK!

Nov. Club Projects

Since I'm wayyyyyy behind and am playing catch up, I won't be elaborating on items used BUT all club projects are SU! unless, noted...for instance, the hay! :)

October Club Projects

Don't you just LOVE fall? The cooler temps, where we can finally again wear long sleeves! The colors, the warm and cozy feeling you get when you breathe the cooler air. Aaaaaaaa....Fall! Oh, and let's NOT forget the candy, costumes and FUN colors-Love it ALL.

TWICK OR TREAT & EAT, DRINK AND BE SCARY stamp sets

TWICK OR TREAT stamp set & HAUNTING HILL jumbo roller from the HOLIDAY MINI

just punches on this one...

A punched pumpkin & statement from the HOLIDAY BEST stamp set

The last club project this month I snagged from Becky at Inking Idaho, her tutorial was right on and I LOVE the fact that we don't have to rip the card apart to get the candy out! It's even CUTER in person... I switched the colors up a bit, cause I wanted to pull all the candy colors onto the card. Plus, that's how you make it your own!

September Club projects

Using the SU! Sizzix Scallop Circle Die, we made this adorable dress, how FUN!!

(inside of the dress card)

Using the SU! Sizzix Matchbox die, we created this 3 drawer little trinket box, which I thought would be fun if given to a friend with all the material for the game of BUNCO tucked inside.

and to go along with the drawer, we made this spicy little number using the CARD GAMES stamp set from SU!-the center card we painted a thin coat of CRYSTAL EFFECTS to get a glossy look and feel. (to speed up the drying process of crystal effects, use your HEAT TOOL)
