Hostess Club Cards

Had a lovely day stamping with my Club Ladies in May. We made four cards and they got a sneak peek at some of the new toys.

Here are two of the cards we made in May.:

A lovely vintage take using the stamp set "Blooming with Kindness"

Cardstock: Crumb Cake; Chocolate Chip; Very Vanilla

Inks: Crumbcake; Chocolate Chip

Stamps: French Script; Blooming with Kindness

Misc: Basic Pearls; Stampin' Sponges

The next card used the masking and sponging technique. You tear some scrap paper and stick it down on your cardstock base and then spong the open areas of the card. Before we took the mask off we then stamped the patterned trellis on the same area.

Punched and sponged the edges of the butterflies and flowers and adhered with glue dots and added lots of bling. Add whatever greeting you like and voila! Easy and quick card that looks like you put lots more effort into it than it required!

TIP: Use our Paper Piercing Tool to lift and place your diamonds, pearls and candy dots. They won't go flying!

Cardstock: Whisper White; Pool Party

Inks: Whisper White; Pool Party and Tempting Tourquoise (the trellis)

Stamps: Summer Silhouette (trellis); Blooming With Kindness (Greeting)

Misc: Stampin' Sponges; Elegant Butterfly Punch; Bitty Butterfly Punch; Petite Petals       Punch; Rhinestone Basic Jewels. Paper Piercing Tool

This months Hostess Club Creations

This month was a little different. I always have a Christmas luncheon for my Club Ladies. So for our class prior to lunch (yummy curried chicken and lentil soup) we did two technique pages and two samples. Here are the cards we made!
Both samples use re-inkers to color them.

The first is embossed in white..then the petals are painted with white reinker and allowed to dry. You then Paint over the white in the colour of your choice..I use Wisteria Wonder on this one. I also sponged the edges of the top layer of the card and embossed it with white embossing powder. I love this technique!

 

This one was done on Watercolour Paper but you can also use our shimmery white cardstock. You want a paper/cardstock that will be able to be spritzed with water.

Again emboss the image in white. Spritz the image very well with water. Then put the tip of your paint brush into the lighter shade of reinker first and then touch the wet image..it's like magic and totall addictive as the water carries the colour out to the edges of the image. The embossing works like a dam and keeps the colour within the lines. It's such a cool techinique! My nickname for it is Watercolouring for Dummies :-)

(BTW..the script embossing folder is only available until the end of the month! I do have an order going in today if you want me to add it on for you? Just drop me a quick e-mail. Thanks)

 

 

 

 

 

 

You can join the class as a member and just place a minimum monthly order or you can just drop in and pay a fee. Each class  includes a technique sheet and sample and two other cards.

I would love to have you join us. Classes are usually held on the first Saturday of the month! Cost is $20 or $5 with a minimum $33 order on the day.

Thanks for stopping by!

Wipe those babies!

Well I am home from China..and getting ready to leave for Korea tomorrow...leaving hubby behind for this one :-)

I told you last time that I tried Laura's baby Wipe technique...my computer was playing up and so i couldn't upload the samples I created so here they are for you now. I might get one card made later and will try to post it if I can.

I used Pomegranate, Soft Sky and Wasabi for the re-inkers. I love the stamped images...can probably do something with the background pieces but the flowers..well...don't love them. Will see what happens..

This is the sheet of images and backgrounds and the flowers I made

Here are some close ups of the images

The blue was a little overwhelmed by the other shades I think.

I better unpack and repack and then if I have time I will create...wonder how jetlag affects the creative flow??? LOL

I'll be back to post later this week or weekend if I don;t get a chance this evening

Thanks for burfin' by! Sue
