 Fork Bow Wreath Card
Learned Fork Bow from picture tutorial by Jennifer Timko
http://www.stampinonthefly.com/
also look under Tutorials on the right sidebar and see Quilted Bow - made with Potato Maker.  It is a triple bow.

I also did my own picture tutorial for the fork bow using a salad fork as originally instructed.  Then I tried it with a meat fork to get a wider bow.  Wreath is made by punching out a 1 3/8" hole in Garden Green cardstock and then punching over the hole with the 2 3/8" scalloped circle punch.  Bow is made from Cherry Cobbler seam binding.

Joseph's Coat Happy Thanksgiving Card

This card was CASED from France Martin - posted on splitcoast on October 23, 2010.  See her card here.

This was another card a few of us made.  We made this same card November of 2010.  The technique is called Joseph's Coat.

Pocket Silhouettes Card

Pennant Punch Banner Birthday Card

CASED from kthaman on http://www.splitcoaststampers.com . Posted on July 9, 2011

This is my favorite - I live the Daffodil Delight pennants and the Lucky Limeade background!  The pennant set and punch is pretty neat.  I've seen banners, Christmas trees, birthday hats, flags, sun rays, star, candy corn, boat sails, and ice cream cones made with this set/punch.  And the triangles put together in a mosaic.

Crimped Diamond Card

CASED from: Barb Calbick. Posted on Stampin’ Connection on October 24, 2010.
See also: scrapnforfun on splitcoaststampers.com
Dated September 8, 2010; and www.inkymoose.blogspot.com
Video tutorial: http://stampwithtami.com/blog/. On top right, click on Video Tutorials. It is near the bottom


Making the crimped diamond, as we found out, wasn't as difficult as it looks!  Makes a very interesting background, don't you think?

The ornament is from Tags til Christmas.  The ribbon is the new Quilted Satin ribbon that is in the Holiday Mini Catalog. 

This card we did not make - but had as a display card.  In looking at cards online, I saw this one - and saw that one of the stamps in the Four Frames set coordinates with the flower stamp in the Elements of Style set.

September and October Favors

Thought I'd share the favors that were given out at September Stamp Club and October Stamp Club.


These were the favors for September.   The cellophane bags are in the Holiday Mini.   They have a sticky strip on one end so you can seal the bag.    50 for $2.50. 
The topper is from a stamp set that is also in the Holiday Mini -- Gift Givers.  These have Skittles in them.

 Close up.

Pencils fit in the cellophane bags also!

 Farther out view of pencil.

Reeses Pieces - since Trey and Mark like those!   Haven't made the toppers yet.

October's favors.   Made with the stamp set It's A Wrap Holidays, designer paper, and labels like you get at office supply store.  Wrapped around Nuggets.

Michelle's Stamp-A-Stack 8.28.11

I went to a Stamp-A-Stack at a fellow demonstrator's house in Savannah last Saturday and thoroughly enjoyed it. We made 12 cards - 3 each of 4 designs. These are the cards we did. I am always impressed by her designs. This is the second Stamp-A-Stack I've attended at her house.  Thank you to Michelle Rahal for these cards.

Stamp Club - May 7 and 9, 2011


Butterfly Easel Card

I think I first saw the butterfly part of the card, or rather a simplified one layer version, by Robin Merriman.  She made little butterfly notecards and used the designer paper on the top like we did here.   Also thanks to Michele Foerst who did an EXCELLENT  tutorial for this.   And the actual card design and colors (so our card was almost an exact case except for the Big Shot embossing) were by Laura Lipe:  http://www.smileslaura.blogspot.com/  .

I made Earl's Mom one of these for Mother's Day.  On her's - I punched a little Daffodil flower (like the punched flower on the pink card below in the middle of the scroll thing and put a lrge pearl in the middle and put that in the middle of the dotted butterfly above.   I also used a tiny pearl and put it at the bottom of the sentiment oval. 

Here is the card I made Earl's Mom for Mother's Day after our Saturday stamp club.   Note the pearls I mentioned above. 

On Monday - we made some sentiment adjustments since Mother's Day was past.

Inside Butterfly Easel Card

Strength & Hope Card

CASED card from Sherahl Weadon - posted April 20, 2011 on Stampin' Connection.

With purchase of each Strength and Hope set, Stampin' Up! will donate $2 to the Breast Cancer Research Foundation.  In the Summer Mini Catalog, there is a website listed for this foundation.   (This set is on the inside back page of the mini catalog.)

We changed this H (as the result of an uh-oh.  We stamped it on a piece of scrap white and punched it out with the 1 1/4" circle punch and then backed that with a 1 3/8" circle punched out of Regal Rose cardstock. 

Faux Leather, Version 1 - with masking tape

Never-Ending Card
Idea and directions from Tami White:  http://www.stampwithtami.com/

Stage 1 Open the flaps up and down. 

Stage 2 - When you've opened as instructed above, you see this.  On the finished card, Happy Birthday is stamped in Pear Pizzazz on the left hand Daffodil rectangle.

Stage 3- pull open the two sections that have the plain Daffodil Delight pieces to get this:

Stage 4- then pull up the top and bottom above to get this:

Open the above left and right pieces  like a  book - and we are back to the beginning again - and you can keep opening layers, and opening, and opening ... it's fun to play with!

Would recommend putting the designer paper pieces on with Dotto so that you can adjust them if you need be.   Depending on how you have card originally sitting in front of you changes how it opens.    You might want to start with the "open like a book" part because that seems more logical.   And when you do that, your Happy Birthday may end up on the right or upside down.  In other words, play with it til you get it like you want, then let the Dotto sit (it is supposed to be permanent after 24 hours) or put on with other adhesive.
