SEPTEMBER 2016 CARD CLASS

Well, we survived our daughter's wedding on September 17, 2016.  The bride was beautiful, the groom handsome, and everything went off without a hitch--at least nothing that spoiled the day/night.  Maybe I'll post a photo when the photographer delivers them.

But I'm not here to talk about the wedding--I want to share the projects we completed in my September 2016 card classes.

NOTE:  All cards are made with Stampin' Up!© products.

Card 1:  This card was inspired by a video by Dawn Griffith.  Here is the You Tube link to her video.  For my card, I used Summer Silhouettes and Designer Tin of Cards stamp sets; Sweet Sugarplum and Whisper White card stock, Sweet Sugarplum In-Color Designer Series Paper Stack, and Basic Black Archival, Cucumber Crush, Peekaboo Peach and Sweet Sugarplum stamp pads.  After all was said and done, I think a bit of Wink of Stella or a little 'bling' would have pumped this card up--never stop seeking to improve.

Card 2:  This card was cased and I apologize I did not take note of the person's name.  I used Jar of Love stamp set, Everyday Jars framelits dies, Soft Suede and Whisper White card stock, and Crumb Cake, Elegant Eggplant, and Wisteria Wonder stamp pads.  A few dimensionals made some of the little flowers pop!

 CARD 3:  This card is one of my favorite styles, with a little twist.  You stamp all three white card stock layers by placing them in a stack (arranged in the layers you desire for the final card).  Stamp images all at once then place a colored layer behind each one.  Somehow this card style always looks great, no matter what stamp set or sizes of layers are used.  The stamp set used is Remarkable You.  Whisper White and Coastal Cabana (retired) card stock and a little Coastal Cabana baker's twine pulled this card altogether.

3-D Project:  Last, but not least, is a Post-It Note cover with a mini gel pen.  I used Crumb Cake, Night of Navy and Daffodil Delight card stock and finished it off with a Metal Rimmed Pearl.

Swaps and Big Birthdays!

Each month I participate in a card swap.  This month's theme was Christmas.  The dove is actually from the stamp set, Strength and Prayers  and the sentiment is from Flurry of Wishes.  Here is my card

I've also just celebrated two 21st birthdays--one with my granddaughter, Myranda Paige and the other with my grandson's girlfriend, Allie.  Here are the cards I created:

 

The only thing these two cards have in common are red and black.  I really wanted them to be different--custom made for each of recipient
