JUNE CARD CLUB:

"TOTALLY CHIC"

I used the interlocking 3-panel card template from stampington.com to create

this card. Blue cardstock base and red cardstock for one of the front panels.

I found this lovely lady on sovintagepatterns.com where they sell vintage

clothes patterns from all decades. I paper-pieced the dress after using chalks to

color it in and stamping flowers in red ink. I added gold glitter glue to highlight

her jewelry and a red embossing pen for lipstick. Using the computer I typed

the "TOTALLY Chic..." dictionary definition and cut out in a flower pattern

with fancy-edged scissors. Attached this to green patterned paper and used a

foam dot to make it pop out. Hope you like it ladies -sorry I can't make the

meeting, I'll be on the other side of the country!

REMEMBER WHEN....

Nostalgia Card

I created this card for my cousin Moose's birthday. I took an old vaca-

tion photo from when he was 12 or 13, enlarged and copied it onto an

ivory colored paper, colored in parts of it lightly with colored pencils,

added an old-fashioned looking frame and coordinating 'M' for his name.

"LIVE LONG AND PROSPER"

Star Trek Card!

I created this card for my friend Amy's birthday. She's a die-hard "Trekker."

Silver and gold cardstock, printed quote on vellum using computer, dimensional star stickers.

MONKEY CARD!!

This card was created at Claudia's house at Friday Card Club

FLAPPER HATS!

I created these using a template I downloaded from imag-e-nation.com.

I decided to add a feather to two of them for a bit off flair. Next time

I make these I think I will experiment with fabric and ribbon.

MAY CARD CLUB: "DREAM"

This card has a layered stamp design. Bamboo background stamp from

Sunday International, "DREAM" stamp from Posh Limited's Vertical Inspirations

stamp set, and butterfly stamp from an Inka-Dinka-Doo Spring set.

I brushed glitter glue on the butterfly and used a foam dot for dimension.

CUPCAKE CARD

I made this one for Mother's Day!

I created my own cupcake template, used yellow and pink ink pads

to create stripes on cup, added red glitter to the cherry, stamped the

outside and inside quotes with espresso ink pad, colored pencils for

inside cupcake stamp and glitter for the frosting.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY LUKE!

This lion card was created for my nephews 2nd birthday.

I downloaded the template from Paper Crafts magazine's website. In the collection

are a lion, giraffe and elephant. I used pattern and plain paper, stick-on gems for

the eyes, hole-punched paper for the nose, and I drew on the mouth. Cute!

FLIP-FLOP FUN!

Sometimes you find real treasures at the dollar store and this flip-flop stamp

was one of them. It's a good size so it's easy and quick to color in. Here I used

paper scraps with a tropical theme. The background paper on the first 2 cards

came from a paper sack. I recycled the quotes from other cards and added a bit

of gold to the first and last card. These are great to give to a male or female.

"You're Purrrfect!"

Kitty Card for April Card Club

I used thin, speckled cardboard, raffia, pink patterned paper,

silver brads, sizzix kitty die, fancy-edge scissors, speckled ivory

cardstock and foam tape to create a shadow-box appearance, though

it's hard to tell from the photo. Inside is stamped, "You're purrrfect!"

FLOWER POT CARD

This was the project I gave everyone for the April card club meeting. It is something

that can be given for all different occasions and decorated so many different ways.

The idea came from a member in my weekly card group. That person got the idea

from their other card group. Sharing ideas - I love it!
