Can't Thank You Enough (for being in club!)

Happy Friday Everyone!

To finish off the week, here is the third card that they made at Club on Monday this week!  I just love this paper pack, how many times have I said that this week!  O M G ... I bet you are either inspired to use yours or you are hoping I move on to a new stack soon (yep, there's a new one waiting to be cracked open!!).

This was a CASE basically too other than the picture that I found online has no watermark on it, and it was awhile ago so I have no idea who to thank!  If it's yours, let me know.  I changed the paper to the Coastal Cabana prints and changed the colors and ribbons, but the card was so cute and again, my club gals loved the simplicity of it!!  It is very easy for them to duplicate at home too!

And last month and this month, I simplified from doing 4 projects back to only 3 (which is what I had originally started with) but I have added the Envelope Liners and they are all commenting that they are SO HAPPY because they want quick, cute and easy!  And I have to say that I am so tickled at how nice it is to have a pretty inside to the envelope!  It just says HELLO, I'm cute! 
Do you have the Envelope Liner Framelits yet?  Would you like a set of them?  Let me know, they are addicting and come in 3 sizes, and you can cut multiple sheets at once too!  Oh and you can make other fun little things with them too!  I have another little thing I can show you, just need to find it, take photos and upload them, maybe tomorrow!

Thanks!  Hope you have a great weekend!!

Fresh Prints, Really!

Hello!

Here's another fun make-n-take project that my club gals made on Monday!  They meet once a month and I provide 3 make-n-takes for them for FREE ($10 value)!  It's a fun little break, they get some Q&A time, and help placing their club orders, & socialize a bit with each other.  It's structured as a drop in, come and go as you need - this way it can fit in with their day.

This card features my favorite FRESH PRINTS DSP Stack ... seriously LOVE every color combination possible with it!  And they just stamped the front layer of the white card and then the rest is quick work with a doily folded in half and some punched flower images layered up and topped off with a rhinestone (why are they retiring the big ones?) and some ribbon!  Gorgeous Grunge & Really Great Greetings, Crumb Cake, Baked Brown Sugar and Real Red.

 

inspired by this card by Becky Roberts, kept the layout but changed up a few things

 

I'll share the third card tomorrow!  If you think you'd be interested in joining my monthly stampers club, I have new groups forming NOW for June-Dec! We start in June, so holler at me and I'll get more details to you along with your FREE catalog too!  Club groups accommodate local and long distance, even out of state members so don't worry if you don't live next door!  I do make and mail the completed cards to the long distance gals since they don't have the option to attend in person.  I would love to hear from you!

Have a great day!  See you again soon,
Rhonda

Display brought to Life

Hello!

A stamping project for you!  While I was in Idaho at Becky's event, one of the display vignettes was her Woodland Display featuring lots of cute adorable things! The whole display just makes me happy!  I love the colors, the little houses, and the OWLS of course are the bomb ... and she had several samples using the Take Care stamp set (p 96 IB&C) which I have and sadly, had NOT inked up yet!  So I decided that my Club INK gals would get a little bit of Idaho for themselves, they so enjoyed knowing I was sharing a little of my trip with them!

My photo is of artwork displayed at her Boise, ID event, created by Becky Roberts, Inking Idaho.

And here is the card that they got to make on Monday at Club Night!  I actually had the stamping done for them to save them time because they had some hand trimming to do ... not gonna lie, those little eggs are little but so worth it!!  The loved the simple layer technique on an angle and trimming off the excess.  Adds a lot without a lot of bulk to the card!  Super Cute!!  Super Fun!!  Kind of makes me want to make one of EVERYTHING!

For my Mothers

Hi!

Today I'm sharing the card that I made for all the Mothers in my life!  Too bad that they have been made and waiting to send since early April, as this was also my swap card for my team meeting!  Dang, I am terrible at getting them actually mailed - so in the mail they go today, just my way of making Mother's Day last a little longer.  Should I mail the Father's Day cards today too?  just to be safe!

This card uses my favorite
Fresh Prints DSP Stack! 
Delightful Dozen stamp set

Bunch a Punches, oh my!
Pansy Punch
Petite Petals Punch
Angled Tag Topper Punch
Bird Builder Punch (leaves)

Real Red stitched ribbon
Coastal Cabana ruffled ribbon
Whisper White Bakers twine
Rhinestone Jewels




Happy Stamping and I'm off to send a little love in the mail to my Mom, Mother-in-law and to my 2 sisters-in-law (God-Mothers to my girls)!

Hugs,
Rhonda

Ah, a couple more!!

Howdy!
Well I found a couple more swap cards from the December team meeting to share with you.  I did not received these personally (dang it!, I want them ALL!) so I just found them on my cell phone!  But at least I can still share them with you!

These were swapped by Kathya and Virginia I believe!  I don't have them to check the backside but I think they are the ones who made them - lemme know and I can correct it if I got it wrong!

Swapped by Kathya Hidalgo

Swapped by Virginia Hudon

Kathya used several new items on her card!

New Fresh Prints DSP from the Occasions Mini Catalog

New Stamp set from the Whole Lot of Love Promotion and the new SAB banner punch!













And equally as impressive, Virginia used the new Sprial Flower Die for the Big Shot to make this fabulous 3d rose flower!

And I think this is Strawberry Slush and Baked Brown Sugar color combination too!  Just a hint of Pink Pirouette on the focal stamping image.

I can remember drooling over both of these and sadly handing them back as I would have to settle for taking a picture!











See Stampers do make the best friends!  Okay, well I have to go, so I best sign off and hurry along!

Thanks again for stopping by!

Happy New Year!

Hi!
Happy New Year to You!

The last couple of days were busy ones!  Had to take a little time to celebrate the New Year and to of course watch the ROSE BOWL and my Michigan State SPARTANS come through with a victory!  Yeah baby!  S Go State!  Go Green, Go White, Fight Fight Fight!!!

A day spent taking down and putting away the indoor decorations and the ornaments off the tree.  It's always sad a bit to see it go but now there is a clean slate (well, bare anyway) to decorate for the new year!  I like to get it done early in January because I'd hate to still have Christmas up when I get home from the annual Stampin' Up! Leadership Conference - this year it's in Houston.

And on the final note of good news, I spent the morning yesterday with the girls at the dentist (yeah, no cavities but Rachel does need her Wisdom teeth out sooner rather than later) and that was followed up by a visit to the oral surgeon that did Nicole's jaw surgery 1.5 years ago -- whit whew, it looks like her joints and everything are completely healed!!

Okay, now for why you are really here!  You want to see the rest of the projects from Sheryl's workshop!  They asked if they could see the Envelope Punch Board used for a non envelope project! So we did two things with it, but really there are so many ideas out there!!  I already taught a class on it last fall and could easily teach another with even more ideas!

One of the projects is making this cute little bow with the board & we just finished it off by adding it to the ready to go Decorative Window Gift Box and adding a tag - with their choice of either NEW tag topper punches -- new punches from the Occasions Mini Catalog which you can order from starting today!

And our second project was to make one of the ever popular File Folder Cards!  I need to redo the picture to show it closed so you can see both portions of the File Folder Tabs.  We used the Chevron Border Punch, new Gold Sequin Trim, new Starburst Sayings Bundle (stamp set and coordinating framelits!) and the new Fresh Prints Paper Stack of really yummy papers!!  Love, seriously Love, this color combo from the paper pack - coastal cabana, real red, crumb cake, whisper white!  And there's a bit of Baked Brown Sugar Ruffled Ribbon too!

This card idea was inspired by Amy O'Neil.  Thanks Amy!  I just changed it up and made it into a File Folder Card!










Hope you have a great day!  Thanks for stopping by!  See you again soon!  I will be sharing my team swap cards for the NEW Occasions Mini Catalog next!  :)  Might have to mix in a few Valentine's cards from our Dec meeting too since I can't recall if I every shared those with you or not!


Guess I better get busy and take pictures in the daylight!!

hugs,
Rhonda
