Stamp Club for September

No rest for the weary!  After Quarterly (and football Sunday), I had to get myself in gear to prep for my Stamp Club this week.  I had several new ladies join us and I hope they decide to join our group in the future.  Here are the cards we made this month:

Using Botanical Blooms and Sunshine Wishes thinlits.

•  Use Botanical Blooms leaf thinlit to cut out leaf on Sahara Sand CS.
• Stamp leaf on scrap of white (or you can line it up and stamp directly on the Mint Macaron card) with Wild Wasabi.  Stamp veins of leaf w/Always Artichoke.
• Stamp fern all over Mint Macaron card using Mint Mac. Ink 
•  Line up leaf behind the cut out and adhere to card.
• Adhere piece of Washi Tape to bottom of Sahara Sand.
•  Cut “hope” out using Sunshine Wishes Thinlits.  Adhere to middle of Sahara Sand piece.
•  Stamp “sending / & hugs” to Sahara Sand piece
• Adhere Sahara Sand cs to card with dimensionals.
• Tie ribbon or Bakers Twine into bow & adhere with Glue Dots.

• Rub Embossing Buddy all over Very Vanilla card stock.
• Stamp Floral with Versamark; pour embossing powder (copper or gold) on it & heat w/Heat Gun.
• Use Blender Pens to color flowers & leaves. (I used Flirty Flamingo on one and Sweet Sugarplum on the other)
• Stamp sentiment (leave room for ribbon)
• Adhere ribbon around Very Vanilla piece.
• Put layers together.
• Tie copper or gold bow beneath the flower stem.

This one was super easy!  Use the Aqua Brush and paint stripes onto watercolor paper.  I used Sweet Sugarplum, Daffodil Delight, Emerald Envy, Dapper Denim and Watermelon.  When the color dries, stamp the sentiment using black ink.  Adhere to your choice of colored card stock.

• Die cut large circle from Framelits
• Lightly stamp Texture Stamp onto white circle &
• Stamp floral stamp onto white circle – leaving top flower cut off.
• Stamp & cut out the top flower & adhere to card making it go off the edge.
• Use Blender Pens and color flowers & leaves with ink that is in the top of the stamp pad lid. 
•  Adhere Circle to card with dimensionals.
• Stamp sentiment onto scrap and “flag” the end.
• Adhere Washi Tape onto scrap of white cardstock & adhere with dimensionals below the flower.
• Tie bow & adhere with Glue Dots.
