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.

Used Gently Falling Stamp Set, Classic Ink and sponge daubers - ink colors Pool Party, More Mustard, Always Artichoke, Soft Suede, and Pumpkin Pie.  Used Pewter Embossing Powder on this one.   We also, on some, used Chocolate Chip and Versamark Inks and then embossed with Clear Embossing Powder for a different look - one with the leaf outlines in brown.   Card Base and layer is River Rock; embossing folder used was Elegant Lines.

 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

CASED from beestamper on http://www.splitcoast stampers.com. Posted July 25, 2010.


 

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.

Card by Susan Carlson.  Posted on Stampin' Connection on April 18, 2011.



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.
