Stamp Club!!

Wow! I'm so sorry for the delay in getting this post up! I've had the hardest time choosing the card I wanted. Since I had such a hard time though, I'm actually going to put up my top 3 Mother's Day cards and let you decide which you'd like to do:) Ha! I will have the stamps I used for all 3, and you can do 1, 2, all or none of them! Whatever you'd like!

Here is one of them. . .

DIMENSIONS: Card is 8 1/2" x 5 1/2", scored at 4 1/4" on the 8 1/2" side. The DSP is 4" x 5 1/4". The window itself is 3 1/2" x 4", scored at 2 3/4" on the 4" side. The window pane is 3 1/4" x 2 1/2" {cut after stamping}. The ribbon is about 14"-15". Then you will also need a little extra for the ovals.

Another. . .

DIMENSIONS: Card is 8 1/2" x 5 1/2", scored at 4 1/4" on the 8 1/2" side. The bottom DSP is 4 1/4" x 3 1/2". The top DSP is 4 1/4" x 2". The Ribbon is about 15"-16". I used 3 eyelets, but it is up to you. {you could also use brads}.

And the other. . .

DIMENSIONS: The card is 5 1/2"x 8 1/2", scored at 4 1/4" on the 8 1/2" side. The Pumpkin Pie DSP is 5 3/8" x 4 1/8". The side strip of of Close to Cocoa is 2" x 4 1/4" and the DSP on top is 1 7/8" x 4 1/4". The top strip of Close to Cocoa is 5 1/2" x 1 1/2" and the DSP on top is 5 1/2" x 1 3/8". The Close to Cocoa backing to the front image piece is 4" x 2 1/2" and the Whisper White piece on top is 3 7/8" x 2 3/8". The Bashful Blue Ribbon I used is only about 11"-12"

.

Then, for our fun project, we are doing a Post It Note Holder! {which by the way is much cuter in real life!} I will have the binder clips, post it notes, and chipboard backings. The cost all together is $1.65. However there are 5 different colored post it pads to choose from; pastel purple, pastel pink, pastel yellow, pastel green, and pastel blue. The best way I thought of is a "first come, first serve" type of basis. So leave a comment or email me the color you would like! Be quick! :) They are all really cute!

DIMENSIONS: The DSP to cover the chipboard is 3 7/8" x 5 3/8". The Old Olive piece I used for the scallop edge is 3 7/8" x 1 3/4" and the Whisper White strip on top is 3 7/8" x 1 1/4". The DSP to cover the clip on top is 1 1/4" x 1 7/8". The Ribbon is about 5"-6".

I hope everyone can come! I'm really excited! For those who may not have noticed the announcement on the side bar, it is at my home @ 11 this Saturday! :)

Th{a}nks and Some More E{a}ster Goodies!

Thanks Crystal and Debbie for putting on another wonderful club! The projects were so great, the food delicious, and the company a blast! We missed those who weren't there though.... hope you can come next month!


We did these fun criss-cross baskets for my friends club! I used the punch bunny Addie showed us last year and thought it was kinda fun!

I also made this mini Easter card from the catalog. I changed up the colors a little bit:)

Other Fun Cards

The monkey and cupcake birthday cards are also other fun things we have been making. We thought we’d share these ideas also. If you would like to make some of these as well we will have the punches at stamp club.

January Club Projects!

Alrighty! The time has arrived! From what everyone has said Saturdays are still the best, so we have chosen to stick with that. January stamp club will be held January 17th @ 10:00 at Suzanne's Home.

As we have discussed previously, Suzanne and I have come up with the projects for this month but everyone will need to bring their own supplies to complete them {with a few exceptions as noted below}.

We have chosen 4 projects, but you only have to do the ones you like.

For all the projects you will need the following: Paper cutter, Scoring tool, Bone folder, Dimensionals, Sticky Strip tape, Glue or Snail Adhesive, Scissors, Sponges or Daubers, a few people to bring Stamp Cleaner and Spray, and extra paper in case you mess up.

Project 1: The Card!



The picture does not do justice to how cute it is! {just so you know} If you would like to use different stamps than what is pictured above, you must bring them. However, we will provide the ones we have featured:) You will also need to bring one piece of cardstock for the actual card {5 1/2" x 4 1/4"}, one piece of cardstock for the top note {6" x 5"}, one piece of designer cardstock for bottom of top note {6" x 5"}, one small piece of cardstock for the heart, a scrap of cardstock for the saying, ribbon {16"}, paper piercing tools, versamark pad, and coordinating stamp pads. The colors we chose were Rose Red, Chocolate Chip, Regal Rose, and Very Vanilla. {The Top Note pieces will be created by Suz}.

Project 2: "Husband Only" Invitation

For this project you can write whatever you would like on the invitation portion {and this one is also a lot cuter in real life!}. You can also do a different front stamp if you would like as well as a "you're invited" stamp. The "you're invited" we used is actually a dry emboss template from the Cuttle Bug, which we will provide. Anything different you want... bring! You will also need to bring one piece of cardstock for the pocket portion of the card {8" x 8 1/2"}, another colored cardstock for the backing of the band {2 1/2" x 10 1/2"}, another color of cardstock for the front of the band {2 1/4" x 11"}, Ribbon {14 1/2"}, Some white cardstock for the front stamped image {2 1/2" x 3 1/2"}, a coordinating colored cardstock for the back of the insert {5" x 4"}, another piece of white cardstock for the front of the insert {4 3/4" x 3 3/4"}, one eyelet, another ribbon {3"}. The colors used in this were Chocolate Chip, Real Red, and White.

Project 3: Valentine Treat Milk Carton

For this project you will need one piece of cardstock for the carton {7" x 11"}, another colored piece of cardstock for the band {2" X 11" or 12"}, Ribbon {16"}, some scrap cardstock of desired colors for the circles, and coordinating stamp pads. Above we used, Pretty in Pink, Regal Rose, and Basic Gray. As is the same for the above projects, the stamps used will be provided {which were the heart and swirly thing from the Priceless Stamp Set and the Always sayings from the Always Stamp Set} if you would like to do different backgrounds and what not, bring them:)

Project 4: Peppermint Pattie Tin Box

For this project we must know by Thursday of this week if you would like to do it and how many. We must place an order for the Tin Boxes, and we need to allow for shipping time. The cost will be $2.50 for the box and patties. There will also be a portion of the shipping to pay as well, which we will tell you at club. {amount will depend on how many people order}

As is the same with the other projects, the stamps used above will be provided but if you want anything different, you will need to bring them. Also you will need 2 different colored cardstocks for the band {9 1/2" x 1 3/4"}, ribbon {9 1/2"}, coordinating stamp pads and markers, and paper piercing tools. The colors used above were Real Red, Pretty in Pink, and Close to Cocoa.

And there you have it! We have given you the dimensions so if you would like to cut your paper out before it will save you time. We will have the instructions for all of these for everyone to use and take home. For anyone who does want to place orders, Addie will still be taking them. {Remember to check out the retired lists because there is a ton of paper going bye-bye!} Leave a comment for what projects you would like to do, or email if you don't know how to comment yet {which after January club can no longer be an excuse!}!

We are so excited to see everyone again!! Have a great week!

XoxOXoxO, {Get it? Valentines!}
