September 2/5/15 cards

You saw a sneak peek of these cards a couple of weeks ago. Now let's take a closer look at each....

-----

#1

Our first Christmas card of the season! (Next month's class will be all Christmas cards!)

Stamps: Festival of Trees BUNDLE (includes stamps and matching punch) 

Found in Holiday catalog

Ink: Garden Green, Early Espresso, Real Red

Other: Gold Shimmer card stock, star from Itty Bitty Accents punch pack, Filigree Frame embossing folder.

( emboss folder in Holiday catalog)

Note: We inked up the whole tree in the Garden Green. Then, we removed the green ink from the tree trunk with a blender pen! Finally, we added a brown tree trunk with the Early Espresso marker.

This is sold as a clear photopolymer set. It will make lining up other set element,s like tree garland, really simple!

#2

I can't believe that I've had this set sitting on my stamp room desk for over a month, and this is the first time I got to use it! 

I love it! (And, so did everyone else!)

It was made with the Flower Patch set and matching framelit. 

We only used one framelit for this card but there is actually a whole set that matches the stamps:

These two are available to purchase as a bundle so you don't have to buy one or the other. You won't want to do that, believe me!

Inks: Pink Pirouette, Blushing Bride, Calypso Coral, and Wild Wasabi.

Note: This is sold only as a photopolymer set, making placement super easy with the totally clear stamps! Lining up the green stem for a second stamp, in order to make the flower stem longer, was so easy!

Although you can't see it in this picture, the rhinestone was colored with a Calypso Coral Blendabilities alcohol marker before adding it to the center of the flower - perfect color coordination!

#3

Sold as a single wood stamp, Halloween Street, is a great purchase!

Card stock: Pacific Point, So Saffron, Tangerine Tango

Ink: Basic Black (dots were created with a number two pencil eraser!)

Other: Tangerine Tango two-tone trim, and Frosted Sequins (both in Holiday catalog)

----

#4

This card is super fast and easy! I used a birthday greeting, but any can be used. Same goes for matching card stock and t"ink! (I used the retired color More Mustard)

Stamp set: Dotty Angles

----

#5

Stamps: Seasonally Scattered (Holiday catalog)

Ink: Cajun Craze

Other: Needlepoint emboss folder (from Clearance Rack), Lost Lagoon satin stitched ribbon, flower from the Itty Bitty Accents punch pack,  pearls

(emboss folder still available on clearance rack)
