This is the card I made for our monthly club challenge.  We were to use something related to time on our card.  The clock faces were stamped and attached with Crystal Effects to the Soda Pop Tops from the Spring catalog.  It is hard to see in this photo but the piece of card stock with the sentiment is embossed.

Stamps: retired Tim Holtz set, Baroque Border wheel

Paper: Basic Black, Soft Suede, and Very Vanilla card stock

Ink: Basic Black

Accessories: Soda Pop Tops, Stripes embossing folder, 1 inch circle punch, Crystal Effects

 

 

 

 



A preview of a card we will make in stamp club this coming weekend.  We will be "doing wheelies" or exploring ways to use wheels on our projects.  The ocean on this card was made with the Oh Wave! jumbo wheel from the Spring mini catalog.  I didn't put a greeting or sentiment on it so I can decide which one to use when I send it.  There are several to choose from in this stamp set such as Get Whale Soon, Whalecome!, and Thanks a Ton. 

 

Stamps: Oh Wave! jumbo wheel, Oh Whale! stamp set

Paper: Island Indigo, Pool Party, Whisper White

Inks: Basic Gray, Pool Party, Calypso Coral

This card was inspired by one I saw on Shelli Gardner's blog. I love the new In Colors and used two of them on this card.  I also love the Elegant Bird Bigz die!  The bigz dies are able to cut so many different materials that the possible projects with it seem endless!  I can't wait to try some of the ideas I have for this one.

A birthday card for a coworker.  The butterflies were cut and embossed from scraps in the Beautiful Wings embosslit.  Other items used were Cajun Craze and Baja Breeze card stock, Square Lattice embossing folder, Very Vintage wheel, Cajun Craze Classic ink, and Basic Pearls.

I cased this card from Marie Shaughnessy to send to my father-in-law, Albin Hamilton. He's a great patriot, an Army veteran of WWII, fought in the Battle of the Bulge, and is a wonderful father-in-law. You may not be able to see this on your computer but one thing I did differently was to spritz the four stars with gold Smooch Spritz. Looks great in real life...

My niece Bridget is a hard working young woman. She started taking college classes when she was in high school and will graduate from Ohio University with a bachelor's degree in education this year. She also bought her first house recently and this is the card I sent to congratulate her and tell her how proud I am of her. The house is from the Neighborhood wheel on watercolor paper and colored with Watercolor Wonder Crayons. The checked paper is retired DSP as is the Riding Hood Red card stock.
