Welcome to my blog!

Thank you for visiting my blog about cards and other hobbies. Stamp Club is for anyone that would enjoy making cards and learning new techniques - we would love to have you come! We meet the first Saturday of each month or the following Monday (unless changed because of holidays). (Each monthly get together is held those two days - sometimes one day is more convenient than the other!) An Evite is sent out each month - so if you would like to come to Stamp Club, just email me and let me know to put you on the Evite list: helencashon@gmail.com . Sometimes we have Stamp-A-Stacks or other classes also.

Catch Up -- November's Stamp Club

Catching Up - Stamp Club - November 6 and November 8, 2010



Card CASED from Sherry Barron on SU! Stamper's Showcase, October 12, 2010.  See her card here on her blog - scroll almost all the way to the bottom.   Her lesson, and hence my lesson, with this card - is that the rhinestones can be colored with Sharpie markers.   Regular markers do not work - the ink rubs off.  Changes from her card:  The colors of cardstock and DSP were changed and the ribbon omitted.  Here Cherry Cobbler polka dotted DSP from Jolly Holiday and Cherry Cobbler cardstock is used and well as Old Olive and Very Vanilla cardstock.  Medium rhinestone colored with red Sharpie.


Card CASED from Carrie Gazskin, although it has been simplified and sentiment treated differently.  See her card on her blog here.    The wreath is made up of the little teeny tiny hearts that you get when you use Stampin' Up!' s heart border punch.  Hearts were punched out of the following colors of cardstock:  Old Olive, Pumpkin Pie, Early Expresso, , Cherry Cobbler, Cajun Craze.  The ring for the wreath was made by punching out a circle with the Itty Bitty Circle Punch, then punching around it with the 1/2" circle punch on Early Expresso cardstock.   The ring is then coated with Tombow glue and the tiny hearts sprinkle on.  Then natural linen thread bow attached.   Panel and Modern Label pieces here are made with Cherry Cobbler cardstock; in class we used Cajun Craze.  Sentiment is from Teeny Tiny Wishes.

Card is cased from Mercy Kerin -- mkstampin74 on splitcoaststampers - uploaded there on October 13, 2009.  See her sample here on her blog. Technique is Ink, Spray, Smash.  Tutorial for Ink, Spray, Smash by Faith Hofrichter is on splitcoaststampers under Resources/Techniques.  Stampsets used are Serene Snowflakes and Teeny Tiny Wishes.   Cardstock colors are Tempting Turquoise, Melon Mambo, Rich Razzleberry and Whispher White, and Glossy White for the ink spray smash part.   Snowflakes heat embossed in gold. 


The From the Past project was Joseph's Coat.  CASED from France Martin - posted on splitcoast on October 23, 2010.  See her card here.   Once you get there, there is a link in the description to that and similar cards on her blog and a video tutorial there.   Stamp sets are Autumn Splendor and Thankful For.  Inside sentiment is from Seasonal Sentiments.  Card has a Very Vanilla cardstock base.  This card turns out beautiful in real life.
